    I don't mean to pry, but whose groin did Schwarber tug?
    When you say it's gonna happen now
    When exactly do you mean?

    You don't have to pry any of us because we'll all be pulling our own groins soon, watching (or not watching) the Sox tank show while awaiting all the offseason improvements.

    No question that deadline day was a disappointment. We just have to hope that having Sale and Houck in the rotation will give this club the boost that it sorely needs .
    Old school is good school.

    ...and to a lesser extent, Arroyo, Brasier and maybe some others.

    Now wait. THe evidence you cite that he wants to play is that one year, he played a total of 5 out of (let me think), around 180 games. Who wouldn't want a job like that??

    I am sure his agent is reminding him daily of all the money he is going to get by sitting out the rest of this year!

    Will he listen to the agent or will his competitive spirit win out?

    If his agent is telling him anything, it’s about getting back out there. A lot of teams shy away from injury-prove players.

    I'm not so sure that the next month and a half will dramatically change his next contract. Maybe the agent is more likely to say "stay out until you're 100% so that you don't reinjure yourself." What's worse: him waiting an extra week and coming back at 100% or him coming back too early and not being ready to go?

    Regardless, the Sox need his bat in the lineup, but I'd rather him come back at 100% than get reinjured. It sucks that this team is taking on water, but they were stuck with limited options when they decided to stay under the lux tax.

    But is 75% of Schwarber better than pinch-hitting Marwin against 101 mph in the 9th?

    Seeing that a 75% Schwarber would be more likely to reinjure himself, yes.
