I never said they'd get much, just that I thought they'd trade him .

5 weeks and you can be as smug as you want. Surely you want him to get hot don't you ? JUSTgottaBELIEVE !

Perez, Houser, Shane Smith, Vasil, Civale those are all pretty good finds. They have all done well for pieces others teams were willing to discard. Perez a FA but was pitching well before he got hurt. Even so they probably got more bang for their bucks than any 5 pitchers new to their team this year for as little money as they're getting. That's like jackpot territory for garbage picking.

Every time someone has said something about Robert being traded I've taken the opposite side of it and been right. Nightengale said he'd likely be traded by Memorial Day I said he wouldnt be. Same thing when the Sox picked up Taylor and everyone said Robert was about to be traded I didnt think so. When people here and Nightengale thought he'd be gone along with Crochet at last seasons TDL I said I thought it was not a good chance of either of them getting traded by then or something along those lines. Mightve said it was 50/50. Can't remember. Probably glad it didn't happen that soon with Crochet and might've been a mistake not dumping Robert if they had any decent offers. But despite how bad he is this year it's possible since he's cheaper a team might want to take that chance on him this year. There's not many others you can put into late innings for defense and PR that are also capable of a HR in extra innings. Heck of a guy to have as your 4th OF too on a contender in any OF position.

He will.

I'd bet money he gets traded and that he won't have to settle for a minor league contract . He'd still would be worth a $5M flyer to almost any GM and even more if he can find his swing the 2nd half. Even if the worst happens and he doesn't get traded and despite all efforts he shows just marginal improvement through the summer months, he could get released before the end of the season. Then you buy out the option and he's a free agent. In the Sox position there's no one they could find cheaply with as much upside as Robert which is why he won't have to settle for a minor league contract.

Oh I would too , no doubt about it, especially Teel since he does have more power than Quero . I really like what I see from both of them so far.

New level new struggles. Made a great pick of that lousy throw home by Rojas. Seems very animated and spirited on the field. I think we got a good Captain type leader. He'll hit eventually.

Intoxicated toxicity ?

Tox Sox fans

Doubtful he'll be a true closer right now. He'll still pitch where he's needed. He just happened to be ready to put in on a day they needed someone to close. They aren't in that situation very often so it's a waste to only pitch him to close.

How r u 2-0 ? Did u win 1 and not do your duty and start the next game thread ? 😋

And yet it got 2 likes. Even if he got the name right it's still a ridiculously stupid post that only you had the guts to say anything about . No one can prevent injuries in human arms when there's constant stress that throwing a baseball requires and certaining not biomechanic guys. It just shows a gross ignorance of the purpose of biomechanics while somehow acting like biomechanics is a bad thing and Getz trying to modernize is a waste of time. This place is so toxic .

Ahh crap Cards tied it fast when I wasn't paying attention.

It'll probBly go down to the wire on if he gets traded at the deadline. He should be if they can find a taker . Shouldn't be that hard when he still plays great defense can pinch run and occasionally PH against LHP. They don't really have a true CF backup guy but would make no sense to hang onto him just for defense when you're looking for a younger player to step up. Not sure if they will allow Baldwin to play CF.
