Eibner helping him out

bump

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 28, 2016 -> 04:29 PM) If can get worse. We can lose we will

Robertson went from 0.96 to 3.72* Ridiculous that he was left in that long

7-1 in the bottom of the 9th, what are the chances of losing? Less than 1%?

comical. just end it here.

Robertson had a 0.96 ERA- it is now 3.26.

Kahnle over Jones?

oh god

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 28, 2016 -> 04:19 PM) I haven't seen him throw a curve yet there it is lmao

cutter, cutter, cutter, cutter, cutter, cutter

Yeah, Robertson likely unavailable for tomorrow, now. Hopefully we won't need him with Sale going

Right now, the Sox bench consists of Saladino, one of Navarro/Avila, and Jerry Sands. Teams generally carry 4 bench players in lieu of the extra reliever we carry, and I think that our need for an outfielder who can play defense (given Sands'/Garcia's incompetence) or an infielder who can play 2B off the bench will force our hand. The candidates: -Jason Bourgeois: speedy, versatile outfielder/second baseman/shortstop hitting .397 in 131 AAA at-bats this year. Has been around in the Majors (including with us). -Jason Coats: outfielder with a decent bat, although this move would probably come at the expense of Sands -Matt Davidson: power hitter who isn't as bad as he usually is this year, although this would probably come at the expense of Sands as well -Nick Delmonico: another DH candidate, but he was just promoted to AAA recently -Leury Garcia: versatile, speedy utilityman, but a very poor hitter with unexciting stolen base numbers (Adam Engel could even be better in a pure pinch runner role) -Danny Hayes: LH hitting 1B/DH who is hitting quite well for Charlotte -Jacob May: speedy switch-hitting outfielder -Carlos Sanchez: often up in the Majors, but still young and could benefit from regular AB's in AAA -JB Shuck: LH outfielder hitting well for Charlotte, was decent for us in the Majors last year

Robertson doesn't have it

QUOTE (fathom @ May 28, 2016 -> 03:58 PM) Oh boy...he's actually had good info in the past. I think Mike (along with myself) was just annoyed by all of his "Cespedes to Chicago official" tweets this winter

Royals collide again. Gordon/Moustakas lost from the last one, and now Perez looks pretty hurt

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 28, 2016 -> 03:52 PM) I heard Erik Johnson and Fernando Tatis mentioned in return yesterday. Interesting thing about Shields: He can opt-out after season and Sox would receive a comp pick. He's owed $21 million this year, next year, and in 2018. 2019 $2 million buyout. I don't think he'd opt out because teams would be foolish to pay him $42 million over the next two years

Just a brutal week for Eaton

So, what's Wil Myers' value nowadays...?

He's owed (pending an opt-out) about $63 million through the 2018 season. He's 34 with declining fastball velocity and peripherals that do not match his ERA. I'd really hope we at least get off the hook on some of that $63 mil.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 28, 2016 -> 03:38 PM) I assumed it would be Erik Johnson and an international signee prospect Would that be enough for them to give us cash in return

QUOTE (Knuckles @ May 28, 2016 -> 03:33 PM) Keith Law said, Tim Anderson is available for a SP... *shrugs* I really, really hope that this would be for a pitcher much better/less pricey than Shields

Some good work from Putnam today
