I’m talking about guys with high walk rates, walk rates that are close to 10%. I don’t see Madrigal ever having a walk rate in that area. The Sox need to take more walks.
Will be more detailed later but the Sox need to add more OBP guys to the roster. Moncada and Grandal are not enough.
I hope they spin the wheels on Pederson for RF and Brad Miller as a bench piece this offseason.
Sox should consider calling up Crochet so he can be playoff eligible in case Bummer and Fry are still on the mend at the end of the season/going into the playoffs.
Pitching is very hard. I have no long term concerns about Cease. I think he’ll be good for the Sox long term.
The problem is that Cease is being over depended on. I think he’s a 4 or 5 starter on a good staff right now. I think that’s why people are frustrated with him, they’re expecting too 3 starter stuff and he’s not that yet.
The Sox need another TOR arm to pair with Giolito and they need another bottom of the rotation arm who can eat innings and keep the Sox in games. Kuechel is a 3.
Yes, those happened in the minors though. Not saying that they wouldn’t have happened in the bigs but he shouldn’t have spent much time in the minors. His TJ came in 2017, he should’ve been up by then.
