Gotcha, just previous to that you were saying Kimbrel wouldn’t return anything of note without eating $. Which is comical considering what he just returned 5 days ago.

So Kimbrels value has cratered in 5 days in your estimation?

Yeah this one had that look early on. I couldn’t bring myself to look away tho.

Right hand bone bruise

Lol, it’s been like 5 games. Eloy is a DH. He’s also a great hitter. He’ll figure it out.

I don't think anyone is hating on Goodwin when they say he's a poor defender. That is just the facts.

Goodwin is awful everywhere in the OF, but purely from the eye test, I think he's a better CF than RF. Of course, he's still an awful CF. But looks more comfortable there.

Easy decision. Once in a lifetime deal. Congrats!

Lets win again. Last night was fun! Guess at lineup: Anderson SS, Hernandez 2B, Abreu 1B, Sheets DH, Moncada 3B, Vaughn LF, Goodwin RF, Leury CF, Collins C Eloy gets the rest and is back in there tomorrow.

I mean, he's 4 weeks into a 4-6 week timeline. I wouldn't expect TLR to say much of anything, but he's no longer ahead of schedule. In fact, he'll be behind schedule if he doesn't go out for a rehab assignment this week.

One of those "insiders" went as far as to say he wonders if those stories will start to leak now...insinuating he knew what they were.

Glad to see Eloy back in there. Let's strive mightily to not get hurt.

Where did you see this?

IF you're resting Eloy until Friday, just IL him and get another body up here. Since they haven't done that, I would suspect we'll see him in this Royals series.

So.......when is Yaz starting a rehab assignment?

I don’t believe Mendick is eligible. It hasn’t been 10 days and he’s not replacing an injured player (Lambert).

Sooo we think Robert, Lamb or a surprise is the move today?

Anyone ever spill the beans about these eyebrow raising Madrigal stories that are apparently out there.....?

The chances Rutherford gets DFA'd, clears waivers, is outrighted, and then gets taken in the Rule 5 draft is about as high as you and I playing in the MLB next year. If another team wants Rutherford, they'll just grab him off waivers when he gets DFA'd in a couple months (or sooner) and not have to hold him on the MLB roster for the entirety of 2022 to retain him.

Probably to the Rays. Where he hits 35 homers in 2022.

While I don't think Sheets is a good defender, I've been surprised by his range. He's made a couple catches in the gap I was shocked he got to. I think he makes that play yesterday. I also think Goodwin makes that play most of the time. The ball Goodwin dropped on Saturday night, Sheets just plays off the wall.

I didn't think they'd bring Robert back quite yet, but with the offday yesterday it wouldn't be terribly surprising. One of Rutherford, Gonzalez, Adolfo or Yermin will be on the DFA chopping block.

I don't see how this can be accurate. Obviously lots of injuries league wide, but how many teams have lost 4/9 major offensive producers with serious injuries. Our health on the SP side has certainly helped alleviate some things, but 19th? GMAFB.

I hope Carlos Perez can be our backup next year.

I don’t dislike Brian Goodwin. He’s overall been pretty darn solid and at times a great stop gap. But he’s a legitimately awful OF. It’s hard to watch. He’s cost the Sox many times, including several recently. I dont think it’s some crime to want him nowhere near the starting the lineup. He’s not good.
