Come to Soxtalk for the worst team in baseball, stay for the 2nd rate grammer lessons

Duke.

JR: Whoa there Tiger.

It is.

So when does he get called up, go 1-20 getting spotty starts to Nicky Lopez, and get sent down after a couple of weeks?

It's almost like he just needed to play. I don't see him at SS or 3B, but he could slot in at the 2B.

For me, it is more about not rushing Colson Montgomery who is still adjusting to AAA.

I don't know if this was just long enough ago that people forgot ot weren't around, but Frank Thomas 100% caught strays from both fans and teammates. He was booed by fans. His toughness was questioned by teammates and managers. Bo Jackson called him a selfish prick and a douchebag. Sox fans have a history of booing players that look like Frank. That goes back decades. Call it racism, or deserved somehow, but it is true.

So he's about 30 years ahead of the average household.

Dude is like 60 now, so Getz is probably interested.

That would be killer.

He's made in 3 years what a lot of people make in a life time.

Again, I have literally said exactly this stuff in many other posts. Honestly, I don't care about dazzling you or whatever it is you need to make you feel better here. Just actually read what I say. I am not sure why you are making this so difficult.

Pitchers today go 100% for a shorter period of time as opposed to the old days when they went 80-90% for long. Pitchers today throw harder and with more movement than they ever had before. Pitchers of today have a way more intense workload. It's way more than just pitch count or innings.

Korey Lee will never play again.

I think they are more worried about pumping his stats for value.

My feeling is that they don't care if his arms falls off after they trade him. They have done nothing to protect him, limit his starts, his innings etc, yet a guy like Thorpe who threw 140 innings last year is already getting slid back.

This one here.

I am going to go out into LF... But if we do trade DeJong, and get Moncada back healthy, I would be OK with bringing back Tim to run at SS, and put Lenyn at 2B instead of Nicky.

Especially because in the last week he is seemingly starting to hit again, 333/.364/.810/1.173, 3 HR, 7 RBI.

That is an interesting statement.

And I would have been shocked if Crochet would have been willing to accept the type of extension that he would have been offered before this season.

So for example, you could look at a Mayo or Holliday (still wonder if the combination of an awful Holliday debut, plus some news of his discontent at being in AAA frees him up suddenly to win a deal) /Norby/Beavers and one maybe of their Latin signings like a Lirazno. or Norby/Beavers/McDermott/Horvath/Wagner/Lirazano. Baltimore is one of the few teams who can win a deal with quality and/or quality.

Nick Swisher retired 9 years ago, and was traded by the Sox 16 years ago. Why is that relevant to Garrett Crochet?
