May 21May 21 How much more rope is the front office going to give Jordan Hicks and Luis-Angel Acuna? I can’t stand both of those twats. We’d likely be in first place if it weren’t for those boozos and if we had started the season with Taylor as our closer.
May 21May 21 Bring up Braden Montgomery and DFA Kelenic. Bring up Kory Lee and demote Quero to Charlotte.

Especially considering his missed draft season due to injury.

May 21May 21 my guess is they would DFA Kelenic before Acuña, since Acuña plays IF and outfield so he provides more depth than Kelenic.they're gonna have to make some roster changes when Hays and Pereira come back

That's just not going to happen. Edited May 21May 21 by Bob Sacamano

They're invested in Kelenic, while Grichuk was a waiver signing on a heater. I could see the Sox just releasing Hays when he comes off of the IL, and rolling with Grichuk until Pereira forces the issue.

I also think Romo/Quero are working their way into a coin flip.

I can live with an expensive Hicks for one more season if Sandlin turns into something. Acuna is a real bummer though. We were hoping he could be a decent CF with an average bat but he looks like a utility guy that can’t hit at all.
May 22May 22 once Acuña is DFA'd (which will happen at some point) ,why not promote Rikuu Nishida and turn him into a better version of Acuña, he can play OF and IF and is a much better and smarter hitter
May 22May 22 Acuna can at least be a pinch runner for now until he is launched. Hicks is too wild to pitch in any close game; he is a mop up man for blowouts. Edited May 22May 22 by Falstaff
May 22May 22 Acuna at least has a purpose, late game PR and defense/versatility. Kelenic is barely AAAA fodder and doesn't really do anything well.

I wasnt arguing for Acuna with you but thats what you turned it into because your argument about how you wouldve constructed the lineup without him when Vargas was hurt for a day was weak. Typical deflection behavior playing the victim. Poor baby.
