Hamstring injuries and the Sox? What could possibly go wrong?

It's not about one bad start... but back to his one bad start.

It's also about more than SSS. Looking for reasons to jump off of bridges with one bad start is overreaction theater

And that is just from his own players wanting to leave.

Thorpe had one bad start. One. He also had one were he was very good. He also just skipped AAA. Patience.

But think of all the failed minor leaguers he DFAd and traded, while forgetting he was responsible for their development.

Translation: we're fucked.

Podcaster vs people who actually are playing the game. Hmmmmmm. And yes, plenty of people with an incentive for clicks are saying it. Weird right. But the people actually involved said it was nothing. Who to believe...

No one can. It's just bad luck.

And on the IL again by the 4th of July.

Sure, but teams will pay it because dominant left hand starting is worth it. If he was healthy he is looking at Cole money.

The dude is not signing away 3 free agent years for a fraction of his earning potential. Maybe you get him to give up one year on a 3/50, (say 5/10/25) so as to push some money forward and give the Sox a bit of a break on a free agent year, but he is not going that cheap on a mid length deal. 5/75 would look some like 5/10/20/20/20 which is absurdly low to give up three seasons where he could be looking more like 5/150 after the next two years coming at at like 3 and 10 million through arb if he wanted to wait for his powerball number. If he actually gets through the next two season relatively healthy he might be able to push that out to six seasons in the 35 to 40 million per, range. He has no reason to sign a cheap and longer extention. He sees pitchers going half seasons for a lot more money than this. All he has to do is make it through the next two seasons as he already had his first arb year. In your version. He gets a free agent payday in 2 of 7 years. in his, he somewhere close to doubles he $$$ if he is healthy, even if throwing half seasons he has the Glasnow contract as a comp.

It's not "headhunting". It's shot blocking. Maybe in the 65+ league at the Y no one is athletic enough to do this, but this is standard fare in competitive basketball. Clark said it wasn't a big deal, as did Reese. None of Clark's teammates tried to do anything about it because they also knew it was incidental. Tell me how you know better than all of them? You either have no idea what an actual hard foul looks like, or you really want to push the Reese is a villian agenda for some unknown reason.

There is a name I have not heard in a long time.

Is Cags a 1B because he is also a pitcher and doesn't have time for defense, or is it because he couldn't pass as something like a LF or 3B?

Please claim him and release Moldy. Please, I beg you.

3/50 makes a lot more sense than 5/75.

That's why Glasnow is a great comp. Dude barely ever throws 100 innings.

This right here. Dude is thinking 5/150 as a free agent.

That's somewhere around 20m per year for his 3 year FA years. There is no way that happens.

Glasgow got 5 years at 27.5 million per. Obviously Garrett has his 2 arb years first, but that is going to be what Crochet is using as a basis for any negotiations going forward.

I guess you are new to competitive basketball. Well there is one other thing...

greg needs more pearls to clutch...

That mattered years ago. He is quickly pushing in on 2000 PAs and 3.5 years of MLB experience. Sure we all hope is hot streak is something, but odds aren't looking good.

Should we talk about his career RC+ of 102 as a 1B? How about his career .727 OPS? He's a mediocre bat and a below average 1B by pretty much any measure. He's also one who is in his arb years.
