If that was the case, I think he'd be in the big leagues by now. No reason to lose patience in the 11th hour.

I think it has more to do with the pitching finally catching up to us, and the fact that our 2nd best player has been hurt, and 3rd or 4th best player is now also hurt. This was not a .500 team. Most people realized that. But the pieces to have a competitive team in 2020 are definitely there is Jerry is willing to make a few splashes this winter. I am hopeful.

Yah, I agree. I think they go after someone like Nimmo on the trade market before adding a right handed poor defending RF via FA. Reallocate that $$ to pitching and perhaps a Stop gap 2B, or even my dream in Grandal. Makes some sense to me.

Nah, just having fun.

Goins should probably be starting until Timmy comes back. Leury at SS was a disaster. I guess you could throw Rondon out there against LHP occasionally.

Sure, I guess. Not even the strangest parallel you've drawn today. Regression is smacking Polanco hard. He's been just meh since May. .243/.282/.359 last 30 days. It was just a matter of time.

Garcia CF, Moncada 2B, Abreu 1B, McCann C, Jay LF, Castillo DH, Cordell RF, Sanchez 2B, Goins SS At least Leury isn't playing SS any longer. It was ugly.

Good news.

They did end up extending both Kepler and Polanco.

Sure.

I think you're going to be waiting about 9 more months.

I certainly wouldn't bat an eye either. But certainly doesn't hurt to keep him in the org.

Never hurts to have arms around.

From what I can tell, its a bruised funny bone!

The guy has been raking all season in AAA, fair to give him a little taste of the bigs as a reward. Plus Goins is a great defensive SS, and Leury has not been good there and we can put him back in CF. Goins will be gone when Timmy returns.

In press release Sox called Eloy injury "right ulnar nerve contusion".

No Robert.

Ryan McGuffey confirming on twitter that it is just a scheduled off day for Robert and that he isn't headed to Chicago.

Here are my guesses: Sox acquire Brandon Nimmo from the Mets for Blake Rutherford, Seby Zavala and Codi Heuer Sox trade Jose Abreu, Welington Castillo and cash considerations to the A's for Sheldon Nuese Sox trade Alex Colome to the Dodgers for Josiah Gray and Kyle Garlick Sox trade Jon Jay and Evan Marshall to the A's for Resley Linares Yolmer traded to somebody for a warm body

Sox Twitter is going to explode when the Sox announce that they'd purchased the contract of....Ryan Goins.

I think Jose is going to potentially take a nice discount to stay with the Sox. My guess is 2/$18M.

Dodgers I would imagine (without looking too far into it) are going to have a serious 40 man roster crunch this offseason. Something has to give.

Wow....this is interesting. Goins not in the lineup either tho, so I'd guess it'll be him.

So are you insinuating there is a somewhat realistic chance in could be a UCL injury? What is your guess of the injury having reviewed the replay?

I am guessing they're just being extra cautious. Probably enough to keep him out a few days, and they want to make sure there is no structural damage.
