The Sox failed with Zack Burdi. He should’ve been in the big leagues right after they drafted him. He’s a reliever that had ML ready stuff, toying around in the minors was a waste of time. 

If I’m drafting a reliever in the first round, I’m drafting them because they can pitch for my bullpen today.

107.7 on mendick's homer, that was a rocket.

Mr. Burdi is your closer, folks.

He was drafted as the closer of the future. 

Then injuries hit and guys like Hamilton, Burr, Johnson, etc. passed him on the depth chart. Now he may be back in the plans.

Back issues for Grandal

damn unlucky for james

That was the plan then 2 major injuries and surgeries happened.

If Burdi Foster Heuer keep throwing strikes and Bummer comes back strong Sox have the making of a playoff quality bullpen featuring 3 rookies.

Quit swinging at Bullshit Jose

He swung at 3 balls.

Jesus had too much to drink and figured I'd have a little fun. Take it easy

Glad to hear Grandal is okay. Take a couple days, let McCann get some time and let the dissent with the haters grow until Yaz is back.

abreu is just going to strike out 100 times this year isn't he.

 

Lol Abreu shaking his hand down the line

Lol hole in 1 for Jose on that

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.

Yep and while they kept him in the minors they should have stretched him out to be a starter.

Doesn’t it seem they gave up on that immediately, as well as getting Madrigal some innings at SS?

That I disagree with but he could still be a multi inning reliever.
