the old Corbin Burnes thread, we have a new Burnes thread
fathom replied to bmags's topic in Pale Hose Talk
No freaking way can they give Lopez a starting spot -
First, I thought the research you did on his last 30 starts was sensational. I would argue the Sox were in a huge slump when they faced Wainwright and we know Indians offense was bad. With all that said, I won’t mind him in the 5th spot if it happens. Sox are currently one injury to the big 3 away from a huge mess.

He was 43/62 stealing bases in the minors. That’s way too many caught stealings for someone that’s supposed to be an amazing base runner. There were also numerous other outs on the bases he made, and many of us in the minor league threads referenced this.
-
Yep, it’s because I think we all view him as most replaceable of the young guys
-
You complain about everyone using small sample size for his bad base running and defense, but you conveniently don’t use it for his hitting.

Garrett Richards to Boston, 1 year $10 million.

Good deal for Richards -
And this is the type of thinking that concerns me, as I know this twitter handler is well-versed in Sox thinking: https://mobile.twitter.com/rbh700/status/1352714219725217794

Not Harold, but I think they see his shortcomings are greater than expected. Basically he’s a one tool player in their eyes.

Hell no, you can’t go into the season relying on Lopez. That’s how you get into a situation where Drew Anderson is starting a game for you a month into the season. Sox currently are nowhere close to having the depth they’re going to need for a 162 game season. -
I can’t even imagine how little Jerry would have spent this offseason if someone besides Tony was the manager
-
Until he gets hurt again by being an idiot out there

Besides the short season, Wainwright also got to feast on a lot of awful offenses in 2020. With that said, I’m fine with him as a #5

Dodgers sign Bauer (3/102, opt-outs, 40-45-17)
fathom replied to Jose Abreu's topic in The Diamond Club
Please don’t go to the Twins! -
Braves or Nats if the DH goes to the NL
-
Would rather have Richards than Wainwright
-
One year deal with big buyout paid over a decade or so makes sense. My big question is if you give Cruz two years, what do you do with Vaughn?
-
Just rumors out there connecting them to these avenues
-
Don’t forget, home runs are bad!
-
Wonder if you and others that vote for that will still feel that way once Twins make their moves (for example, Tanaka, Cruz and Didi)

Foodies: Sox/Giolito discussing an extension?????
fathom replied to Jack Parkman's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Nah, they have the exact ranking of how the Sox view every player, as well as how other teams view them as well. -
People also act like there won’t be any injuries all season. The more quality players, the better. I just don’t want to see a lineup with Leury, Eaton, Engel and Madrigal in it.
-
Profar is better than LaStella though. He gives you huge defensive flexibility while being a switch hitter and is still in his prime.
-
Problem is he also says no additional hitter would be brought in
-
Think of him as more of a newscaster for people in the region than an insider
