Except we are at least three weeks away from that happening still. The first decision will clearly be between Cueto Keuchel and VV. With the Twins' extremely easy schedule this month, just staying within 5-6 games would be a pretty big accomplishment considering how ugly things looked a week ago.

Kind of like that time he blew a game in big time fashion against KC...he was pretty good for us, but not sure he was one of the truly elite that his salary indicated. The next tier just below. Cabrera and La Roche starting out so poorly also made him seem better comparatively.

Ouch. Reds heading for 3-21...and Greene pretty much the only player to get excited about. Maybe Votto comedy skits, too?

Well the Cubs have no reason to help out the Sox...if Kelly is fine going forward they need to focus more on LHR. That said, the cutter is death to lefties.

Or a season long issue in the 8th. If anything, they need another veteran LHP if Bummer continues to falter.

Combined with Harrison and McGuire it's pretty darned brutal...

It was...a decade ago.

Robertson time. Unscored upon this year with his Mo Rivera tutored cutter.

We don't even need Kimbrel or Kelly!

Foster the team MVP this week. What an up and down ride the last three seasons. Kudos to Matt/Jose for perseverance.

Almost more horrific Madrigal base running. Now trying to deke Grandal into a throw lol.

Bummer got lucky...but not lucky enough to catch a runner off base. We didn't use Graveman enough when he was on a roll...so now we are forced to go with Foster. Russian Roulette.

Don't worry we will draft Joyce and throw him directly into the fray until his UCL goes too.

Of course, David Robertson looking to add insult to injury.

Fans still want to hold onto the May/June 2021 Sox team and not reality...maybe that's easier than confronting the reality of a flawed rebuild plan that wasn't finished off.

Of course the hit and run works right after the Sox failed to add to the lead.

Would be a runner already at second if Pollock was playing RF...

Leave it to Pollock to make Sox fans wistful over the days of Craig Kimbrel... Someone please send a memo to Hahn that it's usually not ideal to be relying on so many veterans in their mid 30's.

Which is perfectly fine if he produces a 3 fWAR like last year with Dodgers. Not exactly on pace for that so far, though. And he was a projected starting RFer out of position when acquired. Unless they predicted Eloy's injury ahead of time...

When have you made a controversial prediction before?

0/3 down to .127...have to send him back down again soon.

Going by this argument, KW is the only Sox GM who has proven his capability to win a WS with a mid tier payroll. And "Stars and Scrubs" from 2012-2016 clearly didn't work well, either. Even in the payroll-challenged AL Central. Odds are always on the teams with the Top 6-8 payroll, as there is about a 65-75% correlation from year to year with those teams making the postseason. Rays, Braves, Brewers, A's are exceptions to the general rule.

Sure, if you’re a robber baron or in Trading Places…

Former #1 draft pick, pretty sure it was the Phillies.
