Fun twitter discussion question...

If he hasn't been DL'd in days, my guess is jammed or pulled/strained. If it was broken or badly strained there would be no need to drag out a trip to the DL. It would have been obvious and done right away.

I know some people are freaking out about this, but the fact he hasn't been put on a list (disabled, suspended etc) is probably a good thing, as it means whatever it is isn't expected to be long term.

I have zero doubts the Sox have approached him at various times. Remember the Sox even put the extension to Maggs on the table after he destroyed his knee.

They were always top 10 protected.

That is a very good read and solid rationale.

Does it get boring being wrong all of the time or are you just trolling?

If you weren't baseball smart enough to know that this team wasn't going to compete this year that is more telling than anything else you have ever posted on Soxtalk.

Believe me you have earned a couple of titles with your posts lately.

I quit reading when you lied in the second sentence.

It is the same team as September last year for all practical purposes that did exactly that last year.

Why? This is largely the group that played .500 ball to end last season, without counting on reinforcements.

Ironically their OPS's this year are almost identical.

Why? You don't seem to be able to handle it either.

Can't you get it through your head that you are a grown up who doesn't need to do things that hurts his poor little feelings?

I'd take that action.

This team wasn't built to be anything but to offer openings to guys who are the leading edge of the rebuild, or could be useful pieces going forward. Guys are learning on the job, and that is exactly what was meant to happen here. Players will get better, and more talent will show up as the season goes on. Those that don't get better eventually be replaced by the next people in line.

So walk away. Come back in a few years when the bandwagon backs up again.
