I’m surprised that Reyes is not only in Boston, but in the starting line-up today; I thought for sure that was a AAA depth move.
I would have given Niko Goodrum a chance myself.

I think it’s very telling of what they think of Goodrum It could go the other way. Goodrum would've been DFA'ed when they got Arroyo back, so maybe they don't want to burn him for like two starts in the majors. FWW I seen him make some nice defensive plays this year when I have the stream on.

It wouldn’t shock me if he does I don’t think we’d have to worry about him getting claimed tbh

FWW I seen him make some nice defensive plays this year when I have the stream on. Has Goodrum even played middle infield? Seems like he's mostly been Worcesters backup 1st baseman. He's cooked, has very few redeeming qualities left and he wasn't very good to begin with. I'd give Sogard a shot, but let's see if this Reyes guy has anything.

It sucks but Winchowski and Jansen are allowed bad games, can’t even blame them, can’t be perfect. The rotation is throwing me for a loop here I swear our best rotation very well could be Sale Whitlock Paxton Crawford Houck Kluber and Pivetta have been and are probably just absolute trash. Houck has a FIP of 4.03 and is 26 much rather have him in there Pivetta just needs to go if he is going to suck and have a bad attitude. The lineup is quite surprising, even last night they did their job I think you're forgetting Bello. He's probably, potentially their 2nd best starter during the entirety of the season. Paxton could be, but how long does he stay healthy.

If Paxton stays healthy it's a real game changer. In the event that he does, we need to move a starter to the bullpen. That pitcher shouldn't just be an ineffective starter, it should be a pitcher that could be an asset in the pen. That to me is Houck and or Whitlock. So my rotation is.
Sale Paxton Bello Kluber Pivetta
I just can't see Kluber or Pivetta giving us any upside in the pen or being happy about moving there. The latter I could careless about, but why create issues.

Sox getting Reyes for free pretty much wraps up any chance the Sox could get even the smallest lottery ticket for Dalbec

The lineup is quite surprising, even last night they did their job Crawford over Bello ? I disagree on that one, but otherwise I trust all the young guys to keep improving. Wild card is Paxton and if he continues to repeat what he did last night over a run of starts. I wish it was not going to be 7 days until he goes again. Kluber and Pivetta are a dilemma. Both have always been starters and there is no promise that they will adapt and be effective in bullpen roles. The " you can't have enough starters" philosophy suggests each must be kept, so Sox have to try and work them in to meaningful roles in the pen. That was a glaring omission by me. Bello is in there and honestly maybe for Whitlock, and make him a dominant bullpen piece again

I'd prefer the bullpen have one of Whitlock or Houck. Not sure I have a strong preference.

For that to work and insure the Sox stay in the playoff hunt, Kluber and Pivetta need to be better than they have so far. Otherwise the development of two cost controlled young starters is interrupted. Sox need to pick the 5 starters that it is going to be and go with it for a while. This 6 days off between starts right now is not serving anyone.

In the 2014-15 international draft, the Braves signed Juan Yepez (playing LF for STL today) for 1 million bonus. They also signed another kid for 100k, that kid's name is Ronald Acuna Jr. I always remember that draft when it comes to the July 2 draft.

Refsnyder's ball to Yepez shouldn't be ruled an error, but a competent LF should get that ball 90% of the time, me thinks.

Whenever they say Juan Yepez's name, I keep thinking that's just his first name. His full name should be Juanyepez Garcia or something.
