He just needs to be effective for however long he pitches. That's all you can ask. Keep us in the game. No one goes deep any more. Amazed how often I hear that. 6 innings is deep for most pitchers these days.

Nicely turned by all involved.

He'd be hard enough to get him near the trade deadline that gives him another 20-25 games ? Sox need a LH OF who can play great defense and not be a black hole offensively. Throw in the speed and youth. He could be special. Currently on a 12 game hitting streak. 1-3 ,walk, stolen base yesterday. Last 2 weeks very hot batting .340 .426 OBP 0 HR but .809 OPS.

Thomas has 1 fWAR in 40 games already in his 1st taste of MLB. Upside could be 5 fWAR, kind of easy to project that based on what we're seeing already.

I never said there weren't other options besides Eloy. I'd just prefer someone of the DH type guys get traded and Eloy has the most upside if he can stay on the field ever.

Ever heard of wRC+ and FWAR ? 131 and 2.2 respectively. That's special. Like Tim Anderson special just in a different way.

Could always approach the D-backs. They have a lot of desirable LH or SH players Alek Thomas, who the Sox passed on in the 2nd rd. in 2018 for Steele Walker. Mt. Carmel product and son of strength and condition coach at that time Allen Thomas who worked for the Sox for 27 yrs. Thomas made it up to #31 in Baseball America's top 100 prospects list. He's just 22 LH, Very good CF . His arm is the weakest part of his game but he is such a good OF that you might not actually care about his arm or you stick him in LF. D-Backs brought him up May 8th and he's now playing every day Offer Eloy for him see what Dbacks think of that. I'd do it in a heartbeat otherwise the Dbacks would ask for Montgomery. Daulton Varsho 99 wRC+ but worth 1.4 fWAR playing every OF position and catcher. Other than that they have Pavin Smith, David Peralta, Ketel Marte, Josh Rojas and their top prospect is LH OF Corbin Carroll who had been impressive before his shoulder surgery.

I think if Kelly was available he would've pitched, He got knocked around yesterday so probably not 2 games in a row coming off the IL.

How many pitchers actually go 7 full innings innings even 50% of the time ? Find me 5 in all of MLB who have made as many or 1 less start than Cease. Don't bother with Gerritt Cole 4 out of 10 for him with 7+.

I'm learning so many new things !

I mean like right before Covid . Was the handshake of peace still a thing ? It was 50ish years ago LOL!

Exactly. Might've been lower than waist high too. Want to get your glove horizontal rather than pointing down on a back hand play like that.

Oh yeaaaaaaaaa !
