This post made me almost as happy as the thread title. Almost.Grimm news.
Bull pen additions are usually crapshoots. CB acquired 4 strong Arms last Winter but (unfortunately) just Throwers, not Pitchers.The fact that he was still on the free agent market until March 19 when the Sox signed him was the tip off that his days in the majors were numbered. With people coming off the disabled list and maybe more prospects arriving, the end for Danish, Sawamura and Diekman may not be far off
If he missed wide he's still end up in outer space. DFA'd guys often turn up again like a bad pennySeveral posters on last night's game thread suggested he be shot into the sun, but the problem with that idea was, he'd miss wide.
DFA is better.
I just started singing a Sousa march, until my husband chided me not to rejoice in another's misfortune. I was shamed, but am now quietly cheerful about this news.This news just made my Mom's day.
You think the MFY would take him for Judge?Are there any any teams obviously tanking this year? If so, maybe Boston can trade him for a used 1B glove and half a bag of sunflower seeds.
When he is, go aheadShould we start a separate Sawamura DFA’d thread, or should this be a crappy Sox bullpen superthread?
I think we can get better terms. We already have a very slightly used 1B glove (Dalbec's) so let's just ask for a full bag of sunflower seeds.Are there any any teams obviously tanking this year? If so, maybe Boston can trade him for a used 1B glove and half a bag of sunflower seeds.
Still chuckling. "And there goes another one" worked both for the commentary on a CLE HR and as an alternate title for the vid.Video is titled: Hansel Robles pointing at 400 ft bombs
I don't think they really had much choice. He wasn't likely to accept an outright assignment to Worcester, so he was gone the moment they designated him.Seems like the Sox are doing him a favor. I bet he signs somewhere else pretty quickly.
