That was feisty. Almost sounding just like me. Only I make sure to bring up Jerry most of the time I mention Hahn. Jerry is the Dungeon Master and Hahn has a dog bowl in a cage.

That's because Robert is a threat all over, Offense defense and on the bases and racks up fWar when he does play. The only time Eloy is useful is when he hits. The rest of the time people think he's going to run over Robert and trip over a base and miss another 6 months.

It's just so rare we see that guy ,2 years and every time he runs in the OF and on the bases you think he's going to pull up lame. And I'm the guy who wanted Rodon back and didnt care about how everyone else felt about what the Sox thought they knew about his medicals. The Sox never counted on Rodon to be a significant part of the core but it's the core guys who have always been hurt that have not turned into what we thought they would to make the Sox a great team .Specifically Eloy and Moncada have been huge disappointments.

We also keep talking about Moncada's 4 War season.Maybe we need that Moncada to show himself and 2020 Eloy and 2021 Grandal, Gio and Lynn. 2021 Pollock would be nice too. Just blame the ball I suppose, Covid, CBA, sticky stuff, JR/LaRussa, the baseball , Rick Hahn's Craig Kimbrel disaster and the Off season from hell.

I think the prime of your career is determined by the years you do best, that place where your physical ability meshes with your understanding of the game and your health.

The Sox need to be more Hispanic in every way in the departments .Notice how our Relief pitcher acquisitions are all white. Hendriks, Graveman, Kelly, Kimbrel. Dispute this or add to it if you can. Look at the Astros good starting pitchers who have risen up.

Boring day trade -wise. I'm not sure Morosi is right. He's just guessing like anyone else about who pulls the trigger. Lots of talking doesn't always = lots of trades.

9th is where the Sox hitters have the best batting average in MLB for guys batting 9th for some strange reason. Want to fix a slumping player on the Sox ? Bat him 9th !

Profar HR give Pads 1-0 lead vs Twins.

Those are my close low scoring game stats I invented. Anyteam that wins scoring 5 or less runs they are 30-17 and going for 31-17

Going for the hockey score win today which would increase the Sox record in those games to 31-17

High fastball and low and away sliders are deaths to a lot of hitters

Ok magic 9 spot do your thing.

No idea. Seattle might trade him for someone big soon as part of a package.

Same with Kelenic. Terrible on curveballs. He would be a nice buy low guy although he still is crushing AAA . Maybe he gets over the hump some day on MLB breaking pitches.

WTP power to Rf . What new ?

oops he missed it too and so did I.

By the way Seby got that double in the magical 9 spot for the Sox where I said they should try Grandal.

Moncada missed the tag

I dont think any Sox catcher or even catchers in general are that good at it. Too many variables to judge something like that. It looks bad when u don't catch it but lots of reasons why they get by especially on very close plays.

That's what we can't get from Grandal so far !

Ok fine and that's what I told you . You only got the price part right and teams are going to start that high naturally and that's why he hasn't been moved yet. There are no guys in RF who are going to be moved to use all your system resources on when you consider Reynolds probably not going anywhere and there's a possibility Soto doesn't too. Name some real sluggers who can play defense in RF . Or anyone availble who is a slugger LH and just be passable in RF. Schwarber ? Haven't heard any rumors about him either.

LOL I didnt say it would was easy. But when you say zero reason to trade him. The reason is because Kim Ng said it was possible.

He can play RF or LF for that matter for a month until the Sox find out if Colas is a viable option for Sept. in RF. If he is Happ can go back to LF .He got more HR's than most of the Sox team and the lack of HR because of the ball or whatever has been offset by a career high in doubles. It's obvious he just decided to be a better overall hitter. That looks like the right call since he can play every day and hits RHP and LHP well. Pollock,SHeets, Leury, Eloy 4 guys who play the OF all with negative War. I have no idea how you can call him a terrible fit with real terrible fits like Pollock, Sheets, Eloy and Leury still getting OF starts and Happ with 2.3 fWar.Only the asking the world part actually fits your narrative.

But Kim Ng said everyone was open for discussion except their ace pitcher.
