June 3, 201510 yr ...sucks. That is all. He should be DFA very soon at this rate. He's just one of the myriad of problems for the Sox right now.
June 3, 201510 yr Normally I have something productive to say about the demands for DFA-ing a player. I guess today we have to worry about how his family will eat. The good thing is we have Surkamp and he can do this role just as....oh yeah.
June 3, 201510 yr DJ started off well but like DA said in game thread the wheels have come off..............he may need to go soon.
June 3, 201510 yr Pitch him against just lefties and see what he does. Yes I know the small sample size says he's better against righties (although Ventura bringing him in against the right handed heart of the Astros' order on Sat probably blew that up).

Yes I know the small sample size says he's better against righties (although Ventura bringing him in against the right handed heart of the Astros' order on Sat probably blew that up). He's definitely not better against righties, 100 point lower OPS against lefties. Walk rate against lefties is 5x lower than against righties. Might be able to get away with using him as a true LOOGY but let's face it, our manager doesn't use guys that way and you can't pretend he will suddenly start.
June 3, 201510 yr The OP daily calling for someone to be DFA'd a nearly daily basis, especially when he called for Sanchez to be DFA proves he has very little idea what he is talking about, but Jennings has been pretty bad. But I doubt they go back to 1 LHP in the pen.

Normally I'd agree, calling for a guy like Sanchez to be DFAd is silly, but in this case it's actually what you'd do with Jennings based on his performance.

But I doubt they go back to 1 LHP in the pen. I never called for Sanchez to be DFA'd. You must have me mixed up with someone else. Edited June 3, 201510 yr by Mike F.

June 3, 201510 yr Author QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 3, 2015 -> 01:22 PM) I'm not sure we have a better option. Well, we have Eric Surkamp in Charlotte...oh wait.
June 3, 201510 yr Yeah, I think you just have to hope he can find it again. This could have been a spot for Surkhamp. He was awesome there for a while, but batting practice the last 4 weeks for the most part.
June 3, 201510 yr QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 3, 2015 -> 01:22 PM) I'm not sure we have a better option. And that's all the players' fault, not the front office's fault, at least that's what I've been told.
June 4, 201510 yr Dana Eveland opted out of his minor league deal with the Red Sox. He was having a very nice year in Triple-A. I wouldn't mind the Sox trying to go after him.

June 4, 201510 yr At least the Sox keep trying to find relievers who might not suck. They bring in shiploads of 'em every year it seems. Sox have had a lot of lousy relievers since the WS title year.

June 5, 201510 yr Talk about a sharp decline after last year and the start of this year. Edited June 5, 201510 yr by Brian
