The good news is nobody will claim Darwinzon after he gets DFA'ed.

If this guy isnt injured then he doesnt belong in the majors. Darwinzon is a thrower who can't throw strikes when he throws hard. When he slows it down he's a batting practice pitcher. I'd be good if he never throws another pitch for the Red Sox.

Darwinzon might work better just waving traffic at a parking lot.

What do Duran and Darwinzon have in common?
Both former top-3 prospects. Good to keep in mind.

I mean he was up to 96 with a hammer of a curve before surgery, I think that’s showing *something* Good example of why you don’t get TJ unless you absolutely need it, the stuff doesn’t always come back. I wonder how much of Groome's stuff declining was him just not taking care of his body in general Was that the knock on him? I just thought he couldn’t throw enough strikes. I know he had the talent.

I know Diekman wasn't great, but Darwinzon and Davis just illustrated why you don't make that trade without a plan.

Of course, but it is worth looking at the flaws on some of the guys we are hoping on and just preparing ourselves.

This isn’t injuries, or bad luck compared to expected statistics, it’s a bad roster being left out to dry.

Great response from the players after they begged and pleaded to give them a chance to make a run

I know Diekman wasn't great, but Darwinzon and Davis just illustrated why you don't make that trade without a plan. They're capable of sucking without Diekman continuing to contribute to their sucktitude. I think you're the only one who misses Diekman. I dont.

Darwinzon might work better just waving traffic at a parking lot. You mean traffic control? I wouldn't put him in a job that involves "control" of any kind. I think a team would pick up if we DFA'ed him because they'd see him as a low-cost, high-reward project. They're welcome to him. It's time for the RS to move on from him.

He could be useful if used in certain situations. Davis and Darwinzon are awful. They didnt get under the tax and they got rid of a bullpen arm that had upside. So, yes, I think the trade is a mistake if you're trying to compete. The money doesn't matter if you're not getting under the tax.

Someone remind me the date when prospects can be called up without it effecting service time and the new rules in terms of rookies next year. I want to say 8/17 or 8/19. Thanks!

This series is the most embarrassing stretch since 2020. They may as well bring back Weber at this point.
