Depends on what he's struggling with... he could still develop in the bullpen (see: Sale, Chris). On the other hand, it could blow up in our faces (see: pretty much everyone else who's been rushed through our system)

Related to the Morneau call-up; if he doesn't work out, look for this guy next year or even as a September call-up...the batting eye is for real:

I'm ok with the Fulmer call up cuz he was on an innings limit, and only had about 50 left Might as well use up those innings here, and get his feet wet.

Only complaint is K rate... other than that, I'm a huge fan of his OBP.

Our offense still needs an enema, and Robertson still looks replaceable. Texas is desperate for pitching, especially at closer. We should be talking to them about a deal around DR and Profar or Gallo.

we'll trade for a team's top 2 prospects & they'll turn out to be Corey Patterson & Hop Chop Suey.

i hope we target hitters capable of making contact vs boom and bust types.

Say no to gallo, say yes to beinitendi.

That is the philosophy now, supposedly.

One guy on Twitter who appears to have Sox connections (he broke news of the Shields trade with exact players a week before the trade was announced, as well as a few others) is saying that he's being told that Sale is pretty much untouchable but the Sox are definitely listening to offers on Q and Robertson.

method might be getting his wish:

Chris Sale scratched from tonight's start. Trade coming?

The Chris Sale incident reportedly involves destroying throwback jerseys

The club is still investigating the incident while trade rumors swirl around their ace

Houston alledgedly offered a kings ransom for sale.

If that included Reed and Bergman, hard to say no imo.

AndyMacFAIL · « **Reply #2116 on:** July 23, 2016, 06:56:53 pm »

What are the chances that the "non-physical clubhouse incident" involved Kenny Williams?

Something along the lines of Chris Sale screaming at KW in front of his teammates in the clubhouse.

I'm guessing that's what happened.

msf · « **Reply #2117 on:** July 23, 2016, 08:26:21 pm »

Sounds like Sale did not want to wear throwback jersey and caused a commotion?

My goodness can this team sink any lower? It is flat out embarrassing being a Sox fan these day. This org is a complete and total mess.

I would guess that sale wants out. Haven't heard much more about what transpired. Is it time to tear it all down yet?

msf · « **Reply #2122 on:** July 24, 2016, 11:39:24 am »

Yes, but I am scared doing that with whom we have making the decisions.

me too. but i hate the mediocrity more.

This isnt a 5 year rebuild, or even 3. Trade Sale, and assuming they get back right pieces, they can contend soon. Gonna have to add via FA as well. But can this org do it? Having Kenny around makes me think not. Wish JR would sell
