Didn’t he just burn a lot of bridges with testimony about drugs in the locker room?

That and he sucks.

I’m sure he did but if the Sox want to win it all, then it might not have a choice.

That was the best free agent offer Hahn ever made, and management backed him up with the cash.  Our offer was for more money than he signed for.  It came down to Wheelers future wife wanting to stay on the East coast. 

I understand that. Doesn't change the fact I wish he signed here.

I understand and wished he signed here also.

So 2-3 months as predicted and was laughed at.

Whether it’s Cueto, Teheran, or paying a price in a trade that he wouldn’t pay yesterday, there are always other options.

Harvey suspended for 80 games

Happens all the time in the NFL. This is a 3-4 month injury for Lynn

You said “Patellar Tendinitis. 3-4 months. no doubt”, so not exactly what you predicted

For a totally different injury.

He also said 3-4 months.  

While unlikely, Lynn could be back on an MLB mound in 6 weeks.  Looking like 2 months is realistic.

Yep. 4 weeks healing/rehab, another 3-4 of ramping up pitching.

Healing time for nearly all muscle injuries is somewhere between 4-8 weeks. That's just physiologic healing.

Not a ton of great FA options.

Alright, as one of the more optimistic people here, I’m going to attempt to stay positive. Let’s say Lynn misses 8 starts. How many of those games would we have won? Last year, we were 5-3 in his first 8 starts, so that seems like a reasonable estimate. 

I assume Lopez will be taking these starts. So how many of those first 8 games with Lopez/Velasquez pitching will we win? Maybe 3? 

So we are looking at a 2 or 3 game difference, perhaps. Could be more, could even be less. Definitely sucks, but not the end of the world. 

Like others have said, though, one more injury and we could be in big trouble. 

If Lopez starts, who is picking up the slack for Kopech and Keuchel?

You were dead wrong.  Just take the L.

Keuchel posted some of his best numbers after his first disastrous year.  I think he'll be fine.  More worried about Kopech.

Things were great under Schneider…then everything was blamed on Allen Thomas and we didn’t even draft his kid.

Now where are we…?

Be it failings in drafting, development, or in FA there is just so little to fall back on.  When was the last successful home grown Sox pitcher?

That didn’t age well…although someone else said 3-4 with conviction.
