That might work. At least until his arm falls off. Again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I don't like the idea of anyone in the system under 24 playing for this tanking team, especially under this manager. Let them start the year 10-40, as they were designed to do. Montoyo can manage the rest of the season to save Jerry money. Bring in a quality manager in 2025 with the core coming through with a legitimately run clubhouse led by a competent manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerksticks Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Eh. What about just making a stand and saying the best 26 guys come north. If Thorpe is in there he’s in there. Totally merit based for everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally merit based for everything. There is almost no version of a merit based promotion where I’d say that a guy who has barely pitched in AA should come north based on a few innings against inconsistent lineups in the spring. Send him to BHam and if he’s dominant for a month move him to Charlotte. If he’s dominant there for two months, great let’s see him at the all star break. Thats merit based promotions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wish Getz had grabbed up Smith-Njigba when on waivers. The league seems to view him as a AAAA player. DeLoach hasn't been lighting the league on fire, either. Perhaps breaking camp with the Sox is so stressful to a rookie that most of them just choke. Where have you gone John Cangelosi, our nation turns it's lonely eyes to you. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's actually good I will post threads bashing him as schtick because I just loathe soft tossing RHP on principle I think Hendricks sucks even though he's solid.

Counterpoint: Jump-starting the rebuild/retool with a couple major league ready guys staggers free agency on these dudes. If you have a MLB-ready arm that won't be a perennial Cy Young candidate, give the fans a taste of the future, have a few veterans in for the long run waiting for Monty, Ramos, Schultz etc to come of age.

Pale Sox Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 One of the bonuses of being a dogshit team is you can manipulate service time with relative impunity. May as well use it. Jerry might die tomorrow and it will actually matter, who knows. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
