Call me confused or any thing else you want but, I just do not understand why the White Sox would trade Sale. Starting Pitching is just to hard to get. Especially someone of his caliber signed for the contract that he is under. Chicago is not a small market team needing to shed payroll nor (I don't believe) are they in a total rebuilding mode. I just do not see Sale as being available. It reminds me of all the talk of trying to get Felix Hernandez from Seattle.

I think the Red Sox will lose Teddy Stankiewcz & Justin Haley if not protected

Who should be protected (by November 20th, 2016) from the Rule 5 Draft (December 8, 2016 )?
I would add;
SP - Justin Haley SP - Teddy Stankiewcz RP - Kyle Martin
40 Man Roster currently has 39. Ortiz retirement will bring it down to 38. I waive Bryan Holaday to bring it down to 37.

On the 40 - Man Roster page, are the service time numbers up to date?

He is signed for 2 more years;
2017 38yrs $18,000,000 2018 39yrs $18,000,000
A good target as Ortiz's replacement as the DH, or is he to expensive/to old?
I think he would be a good fit (switch hitter) in the line up

He should be given an opportunity to play 3B

Apologies if I've missed it, but have they announced the final 25-man roster yet? The Red Sox don't have to file their 25-man roster until 10 a.m. Thursday

So jimed/dmaineah, I'm interested in why you think CVaz should be the backup catcher for this postseason over Hanigan. What has he shown you this year that leads you to believe that he would be the best choice to win in the playoffs this year? (clearly, CVaz should have the inside track on being on the 25-man roster next spring, as neither Hanigan or Holaday will likely be in the organization next spring)Plus, most importantly, he (& Leon) will be out of Options

Vazquez is better defensively & a better runner on the Bases if needed

Catchers(2): Leon Hanigan will be / Vazquez should be
Infield (6): Pedroia Bogaerts Ortiz Ramirez Holt Shaw
OF (4): Benintendi Bradley Betts Young
Rotation (4): Porcello Price Buchholz Rodriguez
Bullpen (9): Kimbrel Uehara Ziegler Kelly Barnes Ross Scott Hembree Tazawa

Can't see them sending him to AA, and between his struggles against breaking stuff and service time considerations, it's hard to imagine him doing enough between now and next April that the Red Sox would want to start him in the big leagues. 95% confident he'll be in AAA to start 2017. Here's the better question: What's the over/under (or before/after I guess) on his eventual 2017 callup? I'll put it at July 10th

I think he shows in Spring Training that he should make the team but they send him to AAA

Benintendi should start & hit 2nd. Mookie 3rd & Ortiz 4th.

The call should go to Brian Johnson. He pitched last Thursday and would be starting with an extra day of rest.

I do not think the Red Sox have the Bullpen arms to get the big bats out late in the game against the Division teams for the stretch run & it will be the reason they miss the playoffs.

Price should be pushed back from Wednesdays start to start the 1st game in Toronto. Someone should be temporarily inserted into the rotation to start the last game in San Diego. It should be Price, Porcello & E. Rod in Toronto. I also think this move lines the Starting Pitchers up better for the remaining games this year.

Chandler Shepherd
Seems like he has blown through every level quickly. Could he get a call up?

Layne and Martinez are DFA'd. Has that been announced yet? I think they should send Brentz down (and I'm a Brentz fan) and run Layne through waivers first. Maybe someone claims him, they pull him back & they can trade him for something.
DFA Martinez to add Benintendi to the 40 man & call him up Send Brentz down to add Abad to the active roster Wait & see what happens with Layne
or maybe even;
Move 1 of Young or Uehara to the 60 day if they are not expected back for awhile Add Benintendi to the 40 man & call him up Send Brentz down to add Abad to the active roster Run both Martinez & Layne through waivers Wait & see what happens with Martinez & Layne
Aren't these better options then just DFA' ing both Layne & Martinez
Young was placed on the DL on 6-24. Does anybody here think he will be back in the next 3 weeks?
