August 17, 20232 yr Won't miss Anderson. They're losing with him anyway. His one home run this year has been a real contribution. Only hope he is playing somewhere else next year. Or even this year.

Reading about suspensions from Angels-Mariners 2022 which were staggered because the teams would be short of those players just like Sox-Tigers in 2000. I assume this is not the case when a guy gets 80 games for PEDs. Different rules apply.
August 17, 20232 yr My understanding is that players suspended for on field incidents cannot be replaced on the roster. Players suspended for off the field actions (domestic violence, PED, etc) can be replaced. So the Sox don't even have the option to fill the roster spot on this one..

I will offer up year end and career TWTW (The Will To Win) scores for the entire team at the conclusion of the season. Game avoidance these remaining six weeks should be a goal of players looking to improve their TWTW scores. However, both Tim and Yoan are still outperforming the team both during their career and this season. Current overall record 48-73 .397 Tim Anderson (In 41-51 .446 vs. Out 7-22 .241) Yoan Moncada (In 26-31 .456 vs. Out 22-42 .344) Jake Burger (-15) wasn't the TWTW panacea (Final 2023 score In 35-53 .398 vs. Out 8-11 421). TWTW > fWAR, at least for Hawk

August 18, 20232 yr 1. Glad for the apology. 2. 5 games is a little much 3. No reason why he can't come back in 2024.

August 18, 20232 yr Sosa will be called up today. No word on who will be sent down (Remillard / Thompson) or released (Elvis). Edited August 18, 20232 yr by South Side Hit Men

August 18, 20232 yr Just now, Bob Sacamano said: They will probably hold onto Elvis for some reason. I’d IL Eloy unless he can for certain play this weekend, or send Sheets down. Would want Thompson available with the large outfield plus Roberts’ recent time off. I agree Elvis likely stays through year end, Hahn trying to avoid 100 Ls.

Yeah, if you think you have to IL ELoy, do that otherwise send down Sheets. He has no business being on an MLB roster.
