Too bad. Geo can't make it through a season without the DL. Hopefully he recovers soon, or Kevan Smith breaks out.

Hopefully Kevan gets a good shot to play so we can see what he's got, also didn't want to start a new thread for this since I'm already 0-1 today lol.
April 13, 20179 yr The one thing that sucks here is that we also have to add Smith back to the 40 man roster, so we lose that slot.
April 13, 20179 yr Hopefully Smith stays healthy for more than one game this time around. He got called up last year and got hurt immediately.

April 13, 20179 yr It's going to be interesting to see how many individual 10-day DLs there are going to be this year compared to recent years of the 15-day DL. Can you say, "considerable spike"?
April 13, 20179 yr QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 11:27 AM) Not a fan of Smith at all but whatever. Why is that?
April 13, 20179 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 02:49 PM) Why is that? I will say its mostly of what I seen of him offensively in ST up close. He was so unimpressive I walked away shaking my head thinking this guy has no offensive ability whatsoever. Didnt look like he belonged with major leaguers. Mind you, he is a catcher so offense is not as important and it was just a few days of seeing him that I came to this opinion.

April 13, 20179 yr QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 03:04 PM) Didn't he actually have a great spring though? Maybe he did but not while I seen him. The worst was watching him work on the back fields. I really don't want to come off as some Smith basher because I am not angry they brought him up or anything. I just personally dont think he belongs in the ML's but they really don't have any other options.

I just personally dont think he belongs in the ML's but they really don't have any other options. That's just it. You're talking third catcher on a rebuilding team here with little catching depth (yes, I'm aware of Zack Collins but referring to MLB-ready talent).
April 13, 20179 yr Our leading home run hitter hurt. Bad luck again for the Sox. We can look back on this as the reason we didn't win the division.
