2020 Vision: Position Players
If the team is built with Sale being counted on to be part of the SP staff it won't matter who the position players are, the team will fail, it's really that simple.

Sorry to come into the thread late. Doing grandpa stuff. Glad I missed the end of the game. Yuck. Does anyone else think that sometimes Cora is sometimes just plain stubborn? I feel increasingly like we are being Farreled. Wrong pitcher, slow hook, fast hook, JDM in OF, Bradley let on the bench (or Holt or Marco). I feel so bad for Taylor two days in a row. When will he get his energy and confidence back?. Unlike Walden, Barnes, etc Brasier isn’t overworked, but why bring him back to blow the game? I know he is in a tough spot but some of his moves have been mystifying. Only thing Cora has done right, what's the problem?

Shaky Dedger wasn't helping. Sick 6-4-3 to end it. Sea Dogs win. !!!!! Duran in the Show in 2020 !!!I don't see it. He's fast, yes, but that's it.

Dombrowski should be fired. And here is why;
He signed Sale to an extension. A $tupid, co$tly exten$ion that will hurt this team for it's entire length.

Seems to me that the way this is going we won't see Sale back until 2022 & the Red Sox should plan for it every way they construct, build, spend, trade & consider the roster going forward. Is this a typo or just nonsensical? Even if he needs TJ why would he miss 2 full seasons? Because the decision to do surgery won't be made until after he fails. I'll say the decision to do surgery won't come until June of 2020 & done in July. Then the long road back. Maybe he pitches in September of 2021. That's a realistic outcome considering the way this is going in my opinion. And what the Red Sox should be planing for. It is an inexcusable, stupid, waste of money signing by DD & he should be fired for it.

If the Red Sox build their roster with the mindset of Sale being part of the rotation for the next 2 years it's going to be inexcusable.

I think Chris Sale is pitching hurt and at some point in the near future when the Sox are truly out of it he will be shut down for the year. Then next spring he will try to pitch again where the injury will really surface and he will then miss the entire year. 1 month to the day Hopefully they do the surgery in the next few weeks and he is only out through 2020 and not just shut him down and then next spring it becomes an issue early in the season and they wait even more and then do surgery come June and he misses the rest of this year, all of 2020 & doesn't come back until September of 2021.

Anybody have eyes on Shugart today? He's been pulled and called to Boston to take Cashner's spot. He's clearly better, based on, ya know, his stats. Clearly the "Global Moderator" title should be stripped from you.

I could see an American League team giving him a 4 year $80M contract. Which is an extra year & $15M. DD should of traded him at the deadline. Damn the media & fan reaction it was the smart thing to do. And if he opted out the Sox could of been the one signing him & had the traded players.

Fine, rearrange the deck chairs. Just get Cashner out of Boston

Absolutely no reason what soever to keep this guy on the team. The Red Sox should waive him. Maybe they get lucky & someone claims him & they end up saving a little money. Plenty of pitchers in the system they can start in his place for the remainder of the season. Who would start in his place?Would it be the worst thing in the world to have Darwinzon starting games again and stretching him out or has the organization completely given up on him starting? Anybody Brian Johnson Hector Velázquez Mike Shawaryn Denyi Reyes Steven Wright? Josh Smith Give them a couple starts each.

As has been mentioned a few times in this thread already, the AFL is roughly AA/AAA in level of competition. It's an aggressive assignment for a player who was in Salem, never mind in Greenville. Shugart will likely go to Instructs to continue making up the IP he lost while suspended. Aggressive? Good! They should be. It's not like it would kill his confidence or he would have to pitch to many innings. Not in the AFL. The Sox are to conservative at times with some players. They need to push em, show em they believe in em. Be aggressive & support em. Why is Chatham still in AA & Fitzgerald in A? I think for some players keeping them down hurts more then advancing them. I'd like to see the Sox be more aggressive at times.

Good win. Cleveland, TB, and Oakland all lost as well. Nice start to maybe something Sox went from 16% to 21% in one day. Fangraphs. WC. Sox and Rays headed to Sept playoff race ... a race with only the few dedicated fans. Ridiculous, the only "race" the Red Sox are headed for in Sept is for their Tee time

Hunter Haworth, not in the top 60 but his strikeout totals this year seem impressive. Any thoughts? Anybody seen him?

Can someone explain to me what Sandy Leon offers and why he needed to stay here? For all the same reasons JBJ is still here.

2 1/2 hours till the deadline.
Need to save some cash to stay under cap & need to open up a spot on the 40 man roster so I'm making it;
Chatham & Wright for Wood

Curious on your thought process on Lau, Owings, and Renda. Lau: After his stellar April, his numbers are pretty mediocre. He doesn't strike me as someone who'll get a sniff. Owings: Definition of replacement player. Not sure why they'd worry about losing him. Renda: Wasn't selected in rule 5 last year and has almost literally been hurt all season. Not sure what would have changed there. I suspect that during the off season or maybe even at the trade deadline there will be some movement of middle infielder / utility infielder types from the roster. That's why I listed Chad De La Guerra, Chris Owings & Tony Renda in order as longshots. As for Lau, every year I'm surprised by the addition of an arm to the roster. So I decided to pick one & I went with Lau because I was also surprised when they moved him to AAA. I probably should of listed him with Ockimey.

Definite adds: Bobby Dalbec, CJ Chatham, John Nunez, Eduard Bazardo, Not definite but more likely than not: Kyle Hart, Adam Lau Maybe: Marcus Wilson Unlikely but interesting: Josh Ockimey Longshots: Chad De La Guerra, Chris Owings, Tony Renda

With today's loss to Tampa it's over for the Red Sox. Put the FOR SALE sign out;
JDM Moreland Pearce Holt Hernandez Travis Lin Leon Curletta
Porcello Cashner Wright Workman Hembree Barnes Johnson Velázquez Poyner Walden Brasier Brewer Lakins Taylor Smith Weber Shawaryn Kelly
All on the table from today through the off season. The rest stay for 2020.
JDM needs to be moved before the deadline.
