daggins Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Really Sucks. I wonder if getting all that relief depth this offseason was just the FO setting up for what they viewed as inevitable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 5 minutes ago, knightni said: Keuchel to BP maybe? They'll need a LH reliever replacement. Bennett Sousa seems likely to be the first option? Having a good spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalChiSox Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 6 minutes ago, knightni said: Keuchel to BP maybe? They'll need a LH reliever replacement. Yep. If they add Manaea, I would expect DK to be a hybrid SP/BP guy to also help keep his innings below the vesting threshold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it would have been the smart move to give him the surgery after 2020 when his forearm was acting up in the playoffs. He'd likely be close to fully rehabbed by now. Hard to believe he was fully healthy last year when he was throwing 95 at times. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if this (or something) truly did happen in the 2020 Oakland game when he was pulled... Could our MRI have missed it/passed on it?

SpringfieldFan Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Do the Sox prioritize high velo guys when scouting for rotation prospects and if so is there any way to turn their focus to more control, pitch-to-hit type guys? Or do those prospects simply not exist in today's game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralChamps21 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 With the 3 batter rule, having multiple lefties in the pen isn't as important as it used to be. Bullpen now looks like Hendriks/Graveman/Bummer/Kelly (later)/Lopez/Ruiz/Velazquez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks. Atlanta didn't want him back and I can see why. He was lost after the sticky ban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's lefty. Crick a righty also has a chance to stick at least until the rosters get back to 26.

EloyJenkins Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 The worst part is the service time loss. The injury was honestly expected, but the lengthened pitching window is gone on both Kopech and Crochet. Major bummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 10 minutes ago, SoxAce said: Horrible news. Sox are now weak with lefty bullpen arms. Said it a bit earlier in the off-season, and I think Hendriks is still the chalk, but I have a sneaky feeling the Sox best reliever in 2022 is going to be Aaron Bummer. Also the fact that Bummer isn't tied to any inning or any roll I think will help mitigate this pain. Bummer can throw in the biggest spots in the game from the 5th inning on and can possibly go multiple innings. Bummed for the kid though; good news for him is he's so young, by the time he comes back it will be at an age of which most guys are just making their debuts.

TheFutureIsNear Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Probably stupid fan talk…but was there anyway for him to just get the surgery after last year? Obviously it wasn’t “needed” at that time and no one wants to get surgery, but it’s sad how obvious this was to see coming with the way his year ended. Who’s the 2nd lefty out of the pen now?
