Red Sox Blockbuster

Post by SnoBrdr »

Red Sox acquire reliever Tyler Thornburg from Brewers.

White Sox ace Chris Sale traded to Red Sox

They gave up basically nada for both players.

The Red Sox gave up a lot of quality prospects for both pitchers but they are a young club filled with prospects so .... but who will be the DH replacement for Ortiz ?

Did you watch Mondaca last year.

Not the brightest baserunner.

Nor does he know what a curveball is.

yeah .. and he whiffed 12 of 19 at bats. :lol:
But at least he whiffed swinging, which is more than Sox did against the Tribe. :dislike

Potentially strong rotation .. if they get Price worked out.

Atomic, better stick to football while your team is still hanging on. :P
Who in the majors can possibly fill the Ortiz void ? :shock:
Before Shaw left, Hanley looked like the best bet.

That kid Kopech, has been a problem.

He broke his hand in a fight with a teammate and then he was suspended 50 games for PED use.

I was watching the two boobs for a time.

But I get to the point where one of them just starts talking stupid.

Felger is just being the tool he always is.

Can't understand why their ratings are so high compared to the other station, who has much better people.

As a Red Sox and Giants fan it balances out the NY/Boston thing ! That being said I'm comfortable with how my Giants are progressing and with a couple moves will be right there ! As a matter of fact I'd be more concerned about your Gronkless Pats getting by Oakland or KC .
Hanley is still the best bet for DH unless they sign Encarcion and then Hanley stays at 1st. Whose playing 3rd for the
PawSox last season ? Just kidding, it's going to be Panda at 3rd...BARRING ANOTHER TRADE !

Sale was 7-0 with a 1.52 ERA (9 ER/53.1 IP), a 0.81 WHIP, and a .180 opponent batting average in seven starts against the AL East in 2016, including 5-0 with a 0.94 ERA (4 ER/38.1 IP) on the road. In 21 career appearances (15 starts) at Camden Yards, Yankee Stadium, Rogers Centre, and Tropicana Field, he has posted a 1.85 ERA (23 ER/111.2 IP) with 123 strikeouts, 31 walks, and only seven home runs allowed .
Impressive #'s where it counts on the road but what were his #'s at Fenway Park?
Got it..– For his career, Sale is 1-1 with a 3.63 ERA (nine earned runs over 22.1 innings) and 23 Ks at Fenway Park.

– An important stat to Red Sox fans: Sale is 4-1 with a 1.17 ERA in 10 career games (seven starts) against the Yankees.
Not great #'s in Fenway Park but then again it was against some of the best hitters presently playing the game today !
