Trade pieces to get a front of the rotation starter.

I so wish this was Red Sox-Yankees but either way this is good for baseball. Some hate in a pennant race is enjoyable.

Probably easier said than done.

Go Orioles

Go Orioles

Orioles and Jays don't like the Empire.... at least this year....

Worcester wins/Portland loses.... Woo Sox play tonight on NESN;

Crawford this afternoon vs. Royals (4:10)

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Go get him!

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Go get him!

at the expense of what existing roster player/prospect in Boston/Worcester.... because that's likely where Merrifield lands when he is signed

He is a proven right-handed hitter who plays a position (2B) that no one seems able to adequately perform.

I'd take a shot at him, provided that he's healthy.

pass.... you've got what u already have here.... there's a reason why the Phillies elected to release him.... it's like Garrett Cooper being claimed not long after Casas went down.... and u have Dom Smith filling that role same reasoning as to why Hamilton is here filling Trevor Story's spot....

And filling it poorly.

Much like Valdez and Westbrook at 2B.

 

[CDJ]

Merrifield is washed up, hard pass. Not an upgrade over what we currently have. Would much rather just give Yorke a shot if they want a RHH 2B

Whit is a proven below average hitter (93, 90, 93, 63 OPS+ the last 4 years). This ain’t 2018 anymore. Only thing he brings is speed, he’s not even a good defender at 2B

This is what being cooked looks like. Romy and Hamilton are both superior options at this point imo and Valdez is a better hitter so I’d rather have him since they both suck with the glove

which is not a reason to sign Merrifield..... why did Philadelphia drop him in the midst of a 1 year contract did u forget about Vaughn Grissom

Probably because he was hitting .199. He needs to come back to the American League.

Pretty sure Vaughn Grissom is a non-factor right now.

Yeah Vaughn needs to get healthy and ramp up in the minors, gonna need to see him impact the ball in Worcester before bringing him back up. To me it is gravy if he can provide anything to the big league club this season, I’m not expecting anything

 

[McGarnagle]

Remember when Whit Merrifield was the active MLB iron man but he was still about 13 consecutive seasons behind Ripken? But he was so bad that he played himself out of the lineup around the time he got traded to Toronto.

That prompted me to look up who the current iron man is, and it's Matt Olsen, who is on pace to catch Cal Ripken late in the 2037 season.

HP umpire already cost the Sox a run.

Do your job!

DiMaggio’s hitting streak will be broken before Ripken’s Ironman streak

 

[sarge88]

DiMaggio’s hitting streak will be broken before Ripken’s Ironman streak

I don’t think any of these three will be broken, at least in my lifetime….but I’d say in order of most likely to least likely:

56 Games
Ripken
Career Triples

Cy Young's 511 wins is completely impossible too
