Old Sock Drawer, ex Sox player discussion
If they gave Rodon a qualifying offer, he probably would have turned it down. We missed a draft pick.

Roki Sasaki
He's the same guy who later pitched 7 innings of perfection, only to be pulled. Mentioned in another thread here.

Kershaw perfect through 7, pulled after 80 pitches
Doubt it.

Kershaw perfect through 7, pulled after 80 pitches
It was stupid to pull Kershaw. He wasn't gonna hurt himself on the 81st pitch. Just another case of analytics prevailing over baseball sense. Too bad Kershaw didn't have the balls to tell it like it is. I was watching PTI yesterday, and they reported on a Japanese pitcher who was pulled after 102 pitches with a perfecto brewing, one game after he pitched a real perfect game. IOW, two in a row was looming.

Tired of hearing about how little the Sox hitters strike out
Excessive analytics is a disease.

Ramos' trade value could be a separate thread, but I wonder what Sox could get for him, not that I am recommending his trade.

5th/6th starters discussion (ongoing)
Bullpen is not destroyed just because Severino gets a day off.

Put Burger at 2B (or Yoan at 2B and Burger at 3B)
Abreu saved about 2 dozen throwing errors by Moncada last year.

They should play the old rant from Coach Herm Edwards. "You play to win the game."

Lots of Manager decisions coming.

Micker Adolfo DFA'd
I'd rather have Micker on the roster than Foster.

Micker Adolfo DFA'd
It still blows my mind that we keep guys like Ruiz, who has proven he can't get big league hitters out, on the roster while cutting Micker. Do we really need 14 pitchers on the staff?

MiLB 2022 Catch All thread
I couldn't find his Japan stats. Probably in here somewhere. My sixth sense, which is usually wrong, tells me that Oscar will tear apart High A.

4/4- Sox at Cubs, 3:05, Marquee
You can use the same excuse for Sousa and Henzman. No excuse for Moncada to look this bad.

Sox Acquire Reese McGuire for Zack Collins, Officially
Still laughing. That was one funny episode.

Rockies @ Whitesox - NBCSCH 3:05
You're assuming they will be a contender at the deadline. They might be sellers, not buyers.

Kimbrel traded for AJ Pollock
I wonder if Dodgers offered Bellinger first.
