We are being hit in one spot pretty hard. Thankfully, we have significant redundancy
Us, too. Losing 3 of our top 6 SP'ers is a heavy blow. So far, our 7th and 8th starters have gotten the job done.
You’re lucky they’re facing the vaunted Floridian lineups
You're lucky to be a .500 team.
Better to get hit early in the DL than late in the season, this way the GMs have enough time to add pieces in case it's needed
Ellsbury digs deeper in the DL now a hip injury
I'm ready to call him the new 'American Idle"
Whoever is in charge of that Ellsbury vs JBJ tracker has a lot less work to do now.
I confess that I was a huge Ells fan when he was with the Sox.
Now I am gleeful that he is a massive waste of roster space and is, essentially, dead money walking.
a700 was right about 5-7 years ago. Ellsbury is glass.

"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
I liked Ellsbury in Boston, but obviously like most people did not want to pay him the absurd money he was going to demand in FA. I'm glad the Sox let him go, and equally as glad it was the Yankees who overpaid him.
Yes. Most of us feel this way.

Hicks expected to miss the minimum and should be back for sox series
Let's see, Hicks has a lot of talent but he needs to stay healthy to be productive, so far looks like he's been more time in the DL than playing since we acquired him
What we need is for Frazier to be healthy. With Gardner able to man CF and Judge actually doing a reasonable job out there, we need another OFer who can play a corner position or squeak by in CF and be really good offensively. I don't think Thompson is that guy long term, but I do think Frazier can get some serious run once Hicks goes down again or if we see another injury. If Hicks returns and Frazier gets healthy, then I think we will be in a better spot to handle further injury issues
Hal sucks
