Crazy thing is the bullpen depth looks kinda blah now with Crochet out and Kelly gone for a month.  They’re going to be logging a ton of innings in April.

There were definitely better guys available at better deals than Kelly…

Like John Phillip...?

So Kimbrel didn’t pitch tonight despite being scheduled. I’m intrigued

Good idea not to double up on that with Kimbrel anywhere near the mound...bubble wrap him.

Well, now we'te close to reaching the point of worst Sox offseason ever.

Just reinforces the compelling pitching need...and the once a generation nature of Chris Sale as a beanpole lefty holding out for a decade before major injury.

Should have traded Crochet last offseason, but that’s a whole different issue.  He just never seemed like someone they could push to go multiple innings a few times a week.

Kelly was their best signing

I just mixed up the signing in my head. Better than the 3/$24 mill they gave Graveman.

Really? Hmm

Only need 2B, RF, starter, LHR, and backup catcher.

The Score post game call in "five prospects for one" established player special.

I hope he's ok but you know me, I've saying for a while hejust seemed like a TJS waiting to happen  and I had him included in many fantasy trades.

Probably injured or refused to pitch because it wasn’t a save situation

Wouldn’t it be less likely that he is traded now if Crochet is hurt?

For sure, especially with his stuff going from all world to simply above average.

We need that ambidextrous guy, Greg A or Greg W.Harris.  There was another the last decade...

Not necessarily, they still have four guys for the last two innings.  Trading Kimbrel is freeing up salary more than anything.  But yes, I share your fear.

Was Crochet schedule to pitch? Wouldn't it be something if Kimbrel was scheduled to pitch and Crochet wasn't and Crochet took Kimbrel's spot for today's game.  That would be the OMG the gift that keeps on giving Kimbrel bad luck jinx.

Yes they both were scheduled.

Damn I really wanted to blame Kimbrel but it's not his fault he's still here.
