A small part of me could see Hahn considering it, but no way La Russa would allow that to happen obviously.

Hendricks + $$$ for Manaea....who says no??

Hendriks or Kimbrel?

Next we’ll be trading Hendriks to prove Kimbrel still can close.  And if they don’t pitch Kimbrel…how will that possibly increase his value?

VV looks like another KW/RH bargain rack special.

And I think Hendriks would be a little more than pissed!

I think both teams would

What if we paid his entire salary...and threw in Adolfo?

Why would the A’s want him back when they are trying hard to finish 5th?

And then the A's could turn him around for 2-3 top 100 prospects. Win all around.

Umm, Manea is not that good. Oakland would jump on that trade and then immediately trade Hendricks for someone way better than 1 year of Manea.

Yay, we hit into yet another DP!

Why are we giving so much playing time to Dwight Smith, Jr., by the way?

Eloy leaves so much meat on the bone by being such an extreme GB hitter

He’s this years Nick Williams.

What are you, Hendricks' agent?  Did you see that last inning he pitched?  Get him out the door so we can extend Kimbrel.

Crochet looking good! 

I wonder why they're not stretching him out at least a little this year.  Why are they committed to taking a talent like this and making him a middle reliever?  Is that how much the Sox overvalue bullpen pieces?

They've said the plan for him is to be used more in a multi inning role and get occasional spot starts, but I'll believe that's true when they actually start doing it.

Because it's spring training?

Sure, but it’s an abbreviated one…just reinforces how none of our so-called wave of outfield prospects is pretty much in shambles.

And, yes, the likes of Trayce Thompson and Mazara are still getting at-bats in ST.

 

Would like to have seen a better throw from Harrison…should have been a DP.

whoa a thrown out base runner

I think it's another case of the Sox rushing pitchers into the majors. Likely a case of not trusting their developmental process in the minors. In an organization that emphasizes development, Crochet would probably be a rookie this year working long relief with spot starts on the near-term horizon.

Didn't they say they are going to be stretching him out a bit? Multi-inning outings and such?

Yes, and my uneducated prediction is he’s traded in the next 48 hours to the Phillies or Dodgers.

Meh if they aren’t going to go out and get anyone with the money they would get back in return for him they should just keep him

But why keep him if he doesn’t want to be in the role and he sucks in the role

If my choices are Kyle Crick gets the final spot in the bullpen or Craig Kimbrel does, I'll role the dice on being able to fix Kimbrel.

But I think it's obviously in the best interest of everyone for him to get traded.

Poppy told me the sox have a lot more top secret data that we don't have access to so we should not question their logic.

I didn't tell you what to do...I said they have more data than we have.  You are welcome to think you are more capable than RH.  Lots of people enjoy daydreaming about what they would do if named GM.
