    Probably a 6 man rotation in Sept.

    Hall is the one that gets shut down at 100 IP between the minors and majors.

    While Hall will most logically get shut down, Who has done a "real" 6 man rotation? I am not counting TB using starters.

    Even more so than Brooks Lee, Rocker might be the Announcing Presence with Authority to the decade's competition style choice.    

    Kumar and GRod were in same HS class as Carter Stewart who went 1:8 in 2018 to Atlanta but didn't sign. Went JuCo for a year and in May 2019 signed with Fukuoka SoftBank (6 yrs/$7M). I think I remember him having a FA opt out after year 5 to avoid posting but can't find that now. Could be an off the wall FA in the 2023 off season.

    What’s crazy is that he is pitching well. Fingers crossed.

    FTFY: What’s crazy is that he is pitching well ENOUGH. Fingers crossed.

    How often will we be able to say this in 2022?

    The Red Sox went 3-7 on a swing through Tampa Bay, Toronto and Baltimore to drop within a half-game of the last-place Orioles in the AL East.

    Colby Rasmus, I hope you reach for the mayo in the fridge this evening and realize it expired in 2021 after you put it on your sandwich.

    Colby Rasmus, I hope you realize the mayo in the fridge was long expired after you consumed the sandwich, so you suffer an appropriate level of gastrointestinal distress hereafter known as Moose's Revenge.

    Stuff+ on Os pitchers

    But these are minor leaguers being compared to major leaguers.  So their "stuff" is 99.3 compared to the average MLB 100.0.

    Not sure if that should be considered below average.

    Careful, you will soon be on the WC fanboy wavelength lol, jk, IDK, SSS, TINSTAAPP. 

    You are correct, that's a significant uptick in MiLB "stuff", let's hope it soon demonstrates itself at the MLB level.

    What if Greinke fell to the O's?

    That's a pretty withering critique of John Angelos. I wasn't aware of the existence of some of these problems or even the ideas, such as aspirations to move to the West coast.

    West coast of FL, Sarasota-Fort Meyers is what I meant. Frobby is right that most people "assume" PA is incapacitated but we don't know if that is true. PA was/is a controlling man, used to being the final decision maker his whole life. JA has not shown any particular business acumen, although he does wear the MLB Executive hat. IMO whatever decision he makes that costs money over the current years budget, would need PA's blessing behind the scenes.

    Daddy Angelos ain't signing any checks.

    You can't honestly believe that PA has relinquished total control to John. The same JA that PA assigned to task of fixing the spring training situation in Fort Lauderdale and failed? The same JA that PA assigned the task of negotiating a deal for the move to the West coast and failed? Both times required PA to step in. Then there is the remarkable job JA did with running 
    MASN and all the interesting programming he brought online - Not. If PA has relinquished control to JA then PA has truly, completely lost all his faculties, which I don't believe we know.

     

    Clint Frazier?

    Why does it matter if Frazier is cheap or not?  Our payroll is already super low.

    SG is definitely NOT defending a low payroll, he is just stating a fact that there has been NO indication that Elias is going to spend this year to field a better product. That Elias is likely (IMO) at the mercy of John Angelos on payroll decisions, who has voiced the desire to move to Nashville in support of his wife's supposed country music career, and you have a team stuck in a cycle of another year like last year.

    Current free agent catchers: who you got?

    Suzuki will get better offers than a month or two of ABs and then a guaranteed DFA 

    I'm not sure that would be the case. I doubt AR catches over 100 games next year and Suzuki would be the OD starter for however long we need to wait to get the extra year. After that Suzuki would likely still get 1-2 starts per week.

    Some Intriguing prospects up for Rule 5 grabs (in my opinion):

    What about this guy? Could we stash him on IL all year?

    Red Sox: Thaddeus Ward, RHP (No. 20)
    Ward made only two Double-A starts before he needed Tommy John surgery this summer. The procedure is likely to force him out for much of 2022, and even then, he’ll be on a tight limit as he builds back to a starter’s workload. On paper, that might scare away Rule 5 teams and make Boston feel comfortable leaving Ward off the 40-man for now. But as noted, some clubs are willing to roll the dice on stashing injured pitchers on the IL and even carrying their Rule 5 status into a second season if need be. Ward has an above-average fastball and plus slider that could help him in a Major League bullpen when healthy.

    I don’t get how this makes any sense.  Between this and Ellis, those were 2 intriguing arms for the pen making no money and you had plenty of guys to cut (and not a ton to add) before getting rid of them.

     

    This. It makes me wonder if HH didn't agree with the input/direction he was getting on rehab and pitching repertoire?? Thinking no sinker-slider pitchers being developed indicates they have a "type" of pitcher they want to develop. Thinking of Matus before TTTP and 1st pitch strikes low and away. If he goes on to Jake A success level success doing it his own way.........
