Probably a wash. I guess Pedersen is better defensively. I think Schwarber has more offensive upside though.

I wouldn't mind...man Rodon was the unruinable pitching prospect, and they managed to ruin him. That's takes effort.

Except the Sox President of Ops didn't call Carlos Rodon "Cy" :lol: :lol: :lol:

He will be there until July, and if they are not in the race they will trade him at the deadline.

Rodon should really be replatformed as a LH reliever, he never mastered a third pitch and that's on the Sux who thought it would be brilliant idea to have him skip AA. Not an important level or anything.

All these marginal roster type moves are irrelevant for the next 2-3 years.

I don't mind Joc. He is better than Kyle. Schwarber regressed into a completely awful hitter, stayed a terrible fielder and had his terrible fielding overlooked by a good arm. You don't have to throw guys out at home or 2nd if you can take the right god damn angle to the ball.

That was probably part of the reason he took low money and a one year deal.

For fucks sake, just sign Dempster and this will be the most unlikable team in my lifetime. The guppy sucks, he has always sucked and already stole tens of millions from the team.
