I swear to god this year has been so bad with respect to fans not understanding the August waiver process.

That isn't the issue here. Bobby V versus the ownership and the players. Who is in charge? It is like Baltimore in that mess of a baseball town.

I think there is a very good chance (despite what Jim Bowden says), he is traded.

Wow. #RedSox #Dodgers from @GordonEdes: RT/working on deal that send AGon, Crawford, Beckett & Punto to LA. Hurdles remain, but closing in.

Well that would be ridiculous. The Dodgers are willing to take on a ton of money, I guess.

Gosh, I am so tired of people not understanding waivers, I am so smart and everyone is so stupid:)

On a serious note, Times are a-changing in Boston....

If the Dodgers take the entire financial exposure of Crawford& Beckett from the Red Sox...then it is a no-brainer if they have to incl AGone

Wow, thanks a lot LA. Just letting the Red Sox escape from under several bad deals. This could help the Red Sox turn it around a lot faster.

I agree that this could help them get out from under some awful deals pretty easily but this would also signal a huge rebuilding process that could take a number of years. If they decided to go all in and trade a few more of the vet pieces Pedroia, maybe Lester, they really wouldn't be left with much more than Ellsbury and Middlebrooks in terms of prime talent at the MLB level

Depends if they have some good pitching. Rebuilding or not, you know Boston will sign a good starter or two if needed.

      AAA Catcher Comps - Hunt vs. Handley

      By CHIP · Posted

      I don't know why... but Norfolk just can't seem to play well at home this year.  Of the 6 games vs. Gwinnet, the team went 2-4.  With Hunt catching, they were 0-3.  With Handley, they were 2-1.  The biggest difference I saw was Handley's ability to block the ball and control the running game more.  Gwinnet was/is one of the top teams in the IL in stolen base attempts.  Handley had more CS and he also had a PO.  During the 6/29 game, Handley's pitchers (Young and Strowd) both had POs over at 1B.  If you watch, you can see Handley call the PO and then punch his glove.  At that time, the pitcher throws over.  It didn't win that game... but it kept it closer. From an offensive perspective... as a whole, the team was awful (excluding Holliday).  167 AB's and only 29 hits.  A team average of  0.165.  If you take away Holliday's 7-17, the team avg was only 0.138.   For the Catchers, Handley hit in 4 games (1 @ DH) he his 2-14 (0.143) with a double.  4 K and 1 BB.  Hunt was 0-11 with 5 K and 0 BB.   Hunt's numbers don't seem to be carrying over from the PCL league... at least not early on.  It seems he likes to chase the low and outside pitch while watching those right down the middle of the plate.  He just looks to be 'over' trying for power. Handley had some good contact but hard hit right at people.  He did struggle with the Knuckle Ball pitcher on Friday. Still, 1 week and a game in is too early and too small of a sample size but right now, overall Handley is playing better defensively and offensively.  Hunt's lone bright spot was a HR ball on a new pitcher in his first game the week before.

      It would just be everyone appreciating that he's gone and not appreciating that the DFA didn't happen 15 minutes after his O's debut game ended, so really not much point I suppose.  Catharsis maybe.

      I doubt they'll pay him the 11M+ they would owe him this year then 23M for the next two and give up real prospects. I hope they won't at least.

      I don’t suppose we need a separate appreciation thread for the DFA today?

      Luis De Leon 2024

      Because he doesn't know how long each inning will be. If he starts, he knows first pitch is at 7:05, but he does not have that luxury when he comes into games, even if he knows what inning he will start. What if he goes through his routine and there's a long inning? What if they have several quick innings and he's not through his routine? Like you said though, this might be moot point, but this has bothered me over the last few years and DeLeon is not the first one they've done this to on occasion.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      Anything is possible.  I will say that Elias is more likely to wait until he addresses the bullpen before seeking help elsewhere.  A RHH outfielder may also be in Elias' queue, unless Hays goes off on one of his blistering stretches.  A starter would not surprise me either.
