Hernandez isn't good enough to be an every day guy on a team with aspirations the Sox have. 2B will still be a position to upgrade in the winter.

Do you think everyone in the lineup should be all-star caliber? Would rather spend the money on pitching, Hernandez is fine hitting 8th or 9th on this team

Cruz doesn't look the same

I think they can do better than a 2 WAR guy at 2B, yeah.

I don't want to derail the thread, and I don't want to think about trading Madrigal for 3 months of a rental. That is too depressing for me to contemplate right now.

If Kimbrel isn't here then I definitely think that salary slot would be available, but maybe it's wishful thinking.

I think they pick up Kimbrel option and trade him

That seems possible to me as well, but then I think that money would be available to spend elsewhere. That would bring one of the SS on a 1 year deal like Semien signed in play.

Let’s give him more time.  He is a Gold Glove winner and has 20 homers.

If a 2 war second basemen is the worst player in your lineup you’re going to win an awful lot of baseball games 

Beckham is not good

Gio looks dominant tonight

Obviously they could but would you rather go spend money on a 2B or a SP?

3. Abreu

4. Eloy

5. Grandal

7. Yoan

8. Goodwin 

9. Cesar

 

I couldn't care less about lefty righty. 

Flip Yoan and Cesar.

Sox need to do something this inning with the top of the lineup up!  Third time through the order.

Damn that was gonna be a hell of a play

TA safe!

4 SP's are under contract for next year and Kopech is going to take a spot. If they can dump Keuchel's contract on someone, by all means, go for it. But I think the rotation for next year is looking set already.

Nice dodge by TA

*insert Steve Stone's line about TA scoring when he gets on base to start an inning*
