Extension?
If he pitches like this we should not only not extend him but we won't get a draft choice for him.
If he improves, we may be able to mitigate the losses. But even in his good games this year, he's really labored.
The idea of a 73 win team to trade for a 1 year rent was nuts to begin with. Fortunately we didn't trade anyone with that high a ceiling.
And this one, of course, was the same demographic as we've seen over and over...some NL pitcher that the Sox get all goo-goo over.
I know it's trendy here to overreact to a bad month of performance, but short of injury there is almost no chance we won't get a comp pick for him.
Outside of Semien, we didn't give up much. And quite frankly, a comp pick could end up being a better prospect than Semien. Having said that, I still think we extend him and given our depth at 2B, I'm ok with giving up Semien if that ends up being the result.
