DD says they will go down to 12 pitchers when Devers comes back. Also, he said if Pedroia comes back it's going to be late in the season (at best).And who goes when Devers is healthy now? Does this mean he’s out until September 1 when rosters expand?
Who goes? Hopefully not Brasier - has looked awfully good.DD says they will go down to 12 pitchers when Devers comes back.
Probably VelazquezWho goes? Hopefully not Brasier - has looked awfully good.
I guess I’m thinking of Eithier.I don't know if that's right. My understanding is that Pedroia's arrival at ASU and seizure of the SS position led Kinsler to transfer. That may be water under long under the bridge.
But pretty soon we'll have to add Kinsler, right?
Yeah, that's actually an interesting twist to all of this...Pedroia’s rival.
I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't come back until rosters expand.DD says they go to a 12 man pitching staff when Devers comes off of the DL.
Big question is what happens when Vaz is back.
With Pearce at PH. They're prepping for October. Just need one or two bullpen arms.Betts 10D JDM X Mitch JBJ Kinsler Raffy C. Is a fucking loaded liineup if JBJ keeps looking good.
Underwhelming? As opposed to what other options?Underwhelming.
Ive read he is a great club house guy, though. So, onward!
That they'll hold off until rosters expand, no?DD says they go to a 12 man pitching staff when Devers comes off of the DL.

Rosters should be expanded by then. They don't need to rush him back.DD says they go to a 12 man pitching staff when Devers comes off of the DL.

I know it's a long shot, but that would be a very, very interesting situation if Pedey was able to come back this season.DD says they will go down to 12 pitchers when Devers comes back. Also, he said if Pedroia comes back it's going to be late in the season (at best).
Pomeranz to the DL again?Who goes? Hopefully not Brasier - has looked awfully good.
The amount of money is odd. You would think if the Sox were going to go over anyhow, they would have assumed his whole salary and given up less. Maybe they think they can find a way to get back under.Angels paying $1.8 million of the rest of the money owed to Kinsler.
I’m ok with thisThis basically takes Swihart out of a utility role, i think he is going to be catching more and more often.
I watched Wright in the bullpen yesterday. He looked like he was moving well on the knee.Pomeranz to the DL again?
Absolutely, they need to see what they have in Blake.I’m ok with this
As long as the Latino players don't show any personality.Ive read he is a great club house guy, though
My main concern is that he seems like the type to complain about too much air conditioning.I’m going to need to find out his tipping habits and whether he pees looking at his phone before I can really weigh in on this deal.
Dustin has a gaudy batting line as a pinch-hitter, but only 14 at-bats.I know it's a long shot, but that would be a very, very interesting situation if Pedey was able to come back this season.
Buttrey is a real RP prospect. He should be good.For those of you who know the PawSox better than I do, was Buttrey likely to be more than a fungible relief arm? Granted, he's 25, but I look at the stats and see an impressive 2.25 ERA and 64 strikeouts in 44 innings.
Kinsler, from my perspective. Those are some pretty awful things to say.Kinsler, or the article?
Pom getting traded?Getting $1.8 million thrown in from the Angels makes me think that somehow the Sox are or can still be under $237 million, despite the report that they're already over.
Dombrowski doesn't strike me as the type of guy who would go over the threshold by a million or two. If he was going to pass it, he would blow by it.
More like Jason Giambi v David Ortiz-2013. Who knows?Clearly the Sox feel that Lin's AAA numbers won't translate.
I really wouldn't get your hopes up about trading Pomeranz. He's some mixture of hurt and bad right now, he's owed money, and he's not controllable going forward. That's not a great combo.Pom getting traded?
Who knows?
In DD we trust.
941 OPS vs Happ at least; 745 OPS vs Sabathia - not bad considering how they both have pitched great against us.This is discouraging!
The newest member of the Red Sox, Ian Kinsler, has a .199 career BA vs the Yankees. Among players with at least 300 AB, only Bubba Phillips (.195) has a worse BA vs the Yankees in the Live Ball Era (since 1920)
He also has a .293 career vs Houston, .270 vs Cleveland and .417 vs the Cubs.This is discouraging!
