Dallas is pitching very well actually I hope Sox bats get more patient.

McGuire looks really good behind the plate might even move grandal to first once a week as well. The pitching looks real good with mcquire and he is excellent at blocking balls in the dirt. Really great pick up not sure what Toronto was thinking .

Brash very good and very composed and quite frankly maybe its good vaughn isnt out there chasing sliders in the dirt like the rest of the group. The guy looks damn good .

Maybe Sox fans are the only ones who think he is good which apparently he is not. Career minor leaguer we have a few of those down there.

If Lopez is the long man hope they need a new plan. He’s a mop up guy.

Great Moncada hurt , well that does explain alot and opening day lineup not looking as powerful. Also might explain why Burger is not traded

I completely agree maybe it tells you have bad our prospects are regarded.

Personally, i think these past few years have baseball execs doing some different things , Gone are the 200 inning pitchers and in are the 150 inning pitchers, depth bullpen and soon to be 6 starters. Now a team needs 7 -8 deep in starters throughout the year and if you dont have depth in the minors that means carrying journeymen guys as your 5,6,7 guys in long relief or short cheap contracts to get you through a season unless you have yankee, dodger or Met money.

personally, I come from another Era, Brooks Robinson, George Brett, Sal Bando, Mike Schmidt, chipper Jones I can probably name 5 more. Maybe Crede was the best in a whitesox Uniform in decades, but no chance is he one of the best of all times. SORRY if this was a joke and I didnt catch on.

Sounds like a quote from a Brene Brown book. I think I will take a pass and move on from Burr.

Between Banks and Burr I would take Banks . I have seen enough of Burr to know if he pitches I need to stop watching .

I feel if they do trade him it will be for some class A 6 era 95 mile an hour 1 pitch pitcher with no control

What a shit fest.

That said he was our fourth round pick at one time . But it’s the Sox they don’t pick very well.

Hope this was not some kind of showcase for Henzmen. He clearly sucks.

Anyone know why pollock was scratched?

so why are the Padres so hell bent on shopping Paddock? I know they have a ton of pitching but the guy is 26 years old

This is a good observation. It seems the Sox could have gotten something done easily in this so maybe it is about the money. I am deeply concerned about the rotation.

The padres have huge starting depth. Really impressive maybe they dangle one at trade deadline.

Biggest issue is the Sox have no starting pitching in the minors. It’s unfortunate maybe they can bring in lambert for one game but the rest just plain suck or are not ready.

Well let’s think about this . First it’s basically Oakland , cinci and Pitt who are sellers right this moment . Mainly Oakland, next the Sox are in a pickle in a couple of years with Moncada so they really want those draft picks to work out because they won’t want to pay Moncada 30 million. So it’s up to them how they measure this. Eitherway this first half of the year is challenging if Lynn is out which he will be for sometime.

Either way counting on Lynn for the first half of the year In your window is stupid . They need a damn plan and it will cost money .

I appreciate your view I truly do. Sox do things strangely sometimes. We will see tomorrow .

I suppose they could have done that all off season if this is the same discomfort. I am sure they will do an mri tommorrow and get to the bottom of it . Eitherway he is injured and not going to be our number 2 all year and the Sox will either pay hard for another starter or get another reliever to try and shorten the game .
