Squirmin' for Yermin

I could be wrong but I always thought Mize profiled as a #3 anyways.. Never loved all the hype.

My theory is a lot more negative.... The Astros weren't the only team sneaky signs, they're just the one's that got caught....

Scherzer would be perfect for a playoff run. I've been semi-clamoring for him at the deadline for awhile now. Trade for Scherzer to bulster the SP rotation. Eloy back to bulster the offense.

He will get 500 at bats easy consistently.. However, I aint betting on 18 years haha

If he isn't going to be stretched out to being a SP, then him not throwing flames every inning kinda sucks

No. I've still got them ticketed to about 78 wins.

I believe he does.

I always thought COVID was a bullshit excuse personally.. I am HOPING this is a slow start.. But we have seen it an awful lot.. 2018, 2020 and now 2021. I was hoping 2019 was the turning point.. Now, I am getting slightly nervous.

I disagree, if Rodon is clearly better. With Larussa, and our serious deep playoff aspirations, we will go with the better pitcher. Cease moves to Bullpen and you can use him next year as a SP again when Rodon leaves.

If Kopech can get stretched out to 5 innings and actually start by the end of the year.......... watch out for this rotation. Though if I were a betting man, I'd say if he takes anyones spot it's gunna be Cease.

I am just speaking out loud, don't crucify me.. I wonder what kind of trade value Moncada has? Ala Pineda for Jesus Montero trade.

Great, you just gave the opponents a scouting report.

He'd sign any QO immediately. So we wouldn't get a pick.

but he's only been "right" for 3 weeks out of 5 years.

lol. Buxton is absolutely not a 150 million guy, even if he wins MVP. He'd be lucky to get 100 million.

Anyone else having massive issue redeeming their 10 game vouchers for a game? The stupid site wont let me use them when it is my turn to redeem and NO ONE from the sox will message me back. GRR

Yeah, I've always said he will be a top 5 DH in the MLB, just with another team. I still hold that sentiment.

You wouldn't. That's why he is at 1B.

I am cool DHing Abreu (he needs a break). But suprised it's not Vaughn or even Collins there. I guess we need at 3 bats still.

I didn't even notice that.

yup. Lineups getting better and more consistent it seems. I'd flip Robert and Moncada right now though.

This is exactly it.

no he isn't. And I've stated this. He is a #4 in a legit playoff, world series contending team. Though I am using his 2020 as a SSS, I predict him more the 3.75 ERA/FIP guy.

I am going to guess pitching at 10 am.

No. Not every bad start/year is COVID. He is historically a bad starter.
