On the roster as a whole, yes. But those specific players make serious money and some cost prospects and a young player. Those specific players are expected to produce. With the young guys, it's different.

$40+ million plus 2 prospects and a young catcher is not dumpster-diving. That's serious spending for players who should be productive. 6/7 would be a reasonable expectation. The only one in the dumpster is Hahn.

Ricky mixing and matching down 9-0. Why not let Fulmer get out of his jam?

Fulmer needs a pitch clock. Lord he's slow.

Derek Holland, once he got away from this team, pitched 171 innings last year with over 8 Ks per game. Talent evaluator Rick Hahn decided to trade a prospect for Nova and his 6.4 Ks per 9 and pay him over 9 Million per year. Lazy, lazy, lazy.

Out

Did they even bother to scout him? Serious question. They may be that lazy. After all, Rick Hahn said they liked him 4 years ago with the Yankees. I've wondered who, if anyone, scouted Shields in that last game in Seattle and delivered the okay.

Don't start swinging at that stuff, please

Geeze....nice play I think Delmonico will hit...perhaps not enough to justify his modest defense though

Just trade Colome for Hoerner. He's out-hitting Madrigal by a ton in AA already.

Sox trying to make sure he get Sox trying to make sure he gets vests in that $9 million salary....

Yonder Alonso has had zero days off.

What they had been (recently) was not very good; both were sorely overpaid for their performance. If their recent performance is what Hahn wanted then it's no wonder...

I'd do the Nova for Happ part, but the Cubs don't need Nova. Montgomery is a middle reliever or a #5 starter. I'd hope the Sox can do a more creative/productive trade for Colome - but that's my heart; my head says they'll probably end up trading him for the next Madeiros.

Thanks for the offer, but, uh.....NO

Engel wasn't ready for the majors when he was brought to the majors. Maybe he never would have been, but an OBP of c .306 in hitters paradise Charlotte does not signal "major league ready."

Not only are the Sox dead last, they are nearly twice as bad as the #28 team.

Burr's not going to make it. Banuelos looked good; he might have been aided by a generous zone, but he was close. He looks like a starter to me - how successful, we'll see.

this hess must get tired quick; he was hitting the corners. 2 of the Sox outs that inning were ripped.

Until that. I like Delmonico - good batting eye.

Alonso... How about giving him a day off.

Hopefully his command looks like Q's we'll have something. Fortunate call on that last pitch.

He was available all winter, they've had him before, and didn't make a move. I suspect he's not a Cooper guy.

The Sox basically need everything to go right from this point forward, since they've squandered so much already and the future is heavily dependent on consistent quality drafting, international signings and development.

As I predicted...get him away from Cooper and his pitchers and that's what happens. I hated that trade from the outset: a young catcher improving significantly with the bat and who showed excellent plate patience for a fungible closer. The quality orgs stockpile hitters like that - Rick Hahn can't wait to get of them.
