Yea, and in the right field conversation we’ve got heavy connections to the international market as well. Things are bringer than I can remember since 2004 and surprisingly, one could argue easily that this era surpasses that.
September 18, 20205 yr Very interesting move. If he can come in an immediately make an impact like Foster and Heuer have then this bullpen should be very legit, especially if Bummer can return. I know we generally view him as a starter for the long term, but he could be the Sox version of Hader and give them long, shutdown relief.

Wouldn't shock me if Vaughn made the team out of ST next year. Except when they held Madrigal back. I think they take it on a case by case basis. As they should. And as noted with pitchers it's not as big of a deal.

September 18, 20205 yr What’s the latest on Burdi? Would be nice to get him turned around, but probably too late to be able to trust him this year. Like the aggressiveness. Pitching is such a crapshoot, shelf life is always an unknown, see Rodon, Carlos. Or just look back at that projected NYM 2014-15 pitching dynasty for another example.

Neither will want to bind themselves to long term deals after their 2020 issues and the Sox will like the flexibility of one year deals.

That means goodbye James McCann...you’re a hell of a catcher, but spending close to $30M on the catcher position is insane.

And 2022 looks WAY different. Giolito Bauer (if he chooses to stay) Kopech DK Dunning/Crochet I see no place for Cease on this team other than a major injury. He is trade FUEL. And you totally forgot about Stiever.

September 19, 20205 yr Holy crap can this kid throw. The slider didn't have much control, but is was tough to hold that against him tonight.

Cool, glad to know he got right into a game. I’m watching tonight on a delay, had to pause it in the 4th to take care of hi8is JR.
September 19, 20205 yr Would be curious to hear what @ptatc thinks about the bend in his right knee after he releases the ball? Is that normal?
