No chance. I'm down on Yoan as much as anyone right now, but he is a natural at third, and was....shaky at best, at second.

Maybe so, more than we knew. He was really great at generating RBI opportunities, for sure.

I've been really surprised at the downstreak of the top of the order, all at the same time. It has really been on display, this road trip. Hopefully, being back home, against CLE, after these moves showing that we're in it to win, will get things going again.

Hanigar makes too much sense, really. But....the cost is what will matter.

Starting Rotation: ✔️ Bullpen: ✔️ Offense: Time to wakey wakey

I will say, the 2021 FA options at 2B are pretty terrible, so maybe we are looking at Cesar next season too.

What matters more, for the 2021 season that we're trying to win: what happened in the last 3 years, or what is ACTUALLY happening this season? Will Kimbrel fail to get a guy out in a post season game this year, because of a bad HR/9 rate in 2019?

If the rest of the lineup can get their heads out of their collective asses, you can take Seby catching with no bat. But our current catching situation, coupled with the hitting woes, makes it a glaring weakness.

For sure. How many relievers stay elite for a lengthy period of time? More the exception, than the norm. Yeah, we sold low on Cody, but bullpen arms go that way.

So you only care about the part that fits your argument. Gotcha.

What about the years before that? Arbitrary timeframes work both ways.

Love it. Did folks expect to get Kimbrel, for High A fodder? Dude is electric this year again. AND, we get the opportunity to get a second baseman with an actual arm/glove.

? In that case, I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this move.

I'm fine with Crochet being traded.

Yeah, I wouldn't be sending down ReyLo, over a few other folks still on the roster. Burr was the right move, he has struggled lately.

I've cut the game off, 1.5 innings in. Sad.

By all means, keep throwing fastballs to a guy who crushes HRs vL. Seems to be logical to me.

Mendick with that massive arm! Hah.

Also, upon first check, Konnor Pilkington checked in at #47 on the Sox Prospect list, before the season.

Sensible trade happens. SoxTalk: "Why weren't they able to acquire this guy, for the rights to the ghost of Courtney Hawkins? We got ripped off!!!1" "This guy is worse at 2B than Danny Mendick (lol) and Leury 'cracks show when I play everyday' Garcia!" Never change

Didn't matter. Clown show offense and Keystone Kop defense.

Whew...........ok, he is out.
