March 13, 20224 yr I think they're going into the season with Lopez and Velasquez as the depth. Idk how they're going to carry all of them as I think Lopez is out of options.

They now have to move Kimbrel to keep Lopez and Ruiz on the roster, unless Lopez is being floated as a trade chip.
March 13, 20224 yr Just now, Squirmin' for Yermin said: We essentially trade one of those guys for Velasquez... ewwy Yeah this makes me think we're not getting any other pitchers.

March 13, 20224 yr I’m thinking in April they expand rosters to 28 or 29, so I’m not too concerned…yet.

March 13, 20224 yr WHIP last year was 1.50 and his career WHIP is 1.39 Why are they giving up a roster spot for such a below average pitcher? If he sees any significant innings at the Major League level, that would not bode well for the Sox.

If he sees any significant innings at the Major League level, that would not bode well for the Sox. His HR rate is pretty high too. Since no one else has specifically said it, maybe Katz sees something in him that he thinks is fixable. We got the obligatory Coop will fix him comment but this should be a minor league deal.

Chances are he spends most of the 2022 baseball seaon in AAA.

This definitely wouldn’t have been the insurance policy I selected, but oh well. Keuchel is and was always going to make 20 some starts whether you guys like it or not. I’m not sure how this prevents us from adding another starter. This is probably a $2M signing that sends Burr to AAA to start the year.

How expanded are we talking? And for how long? I haven’t seen that yet. Edited March 13, 20224 yr by Bob Sacamano
March 13, 20224 yr Good depth piece flyer. I like these types of pickups, but I fear the Sox tend to see them as reliable solutions instead of insurance policies with upside.
