I’m not very optimistic on Price. I’m a huge sox fan and I’m concerned it’s possibly worse than they’re letting on. Complete lack of details is never a good thing. Would be great to have him in the rotation (pending 1st season was adjusting to Boston), in just worried his arm is a time bomb and he’s just putting off surgery

I think that’s everyone’s consensus. It’s tough to be optimistic, plenty of DL time for the big man this year.

I mean, I love the fact Price was optimistic, but the fact he said if here 22 or 23 the doctors absolutely would have said go for the surgery just gives it a bad feeling. Agree, much DL time. I just don’t want July to roll around and have TJ actually happen… why put it off if it’s inevitable?

I think this year is a wash for Price. I’m
no swami but I see like 7-8 starts out of Price before 2017 closes. But if Price continues the narrative of he feels this way every year and this was just more pain than before…..and that he feels better each day and believes he’s going to be productive. Who’s anyone to not believe him, he’d have too much to lose by understanding the injury.

He has little to lose with that contract. The Sox are playing it right now because they don’t want to write him off for 17 and half of 18.
He did not have command of the strike zone last year and was hit hard. This is the first sign of an elbow issue.
Face-the-facts Sox fans: this was and will be the worst free agent signing in history.

Doubt he will be as bad as greinke

Seems to be working okay for Tanaka.

I hope Detwiler works out. He was great as the Nats’ #5 when he first came up, but ended up being shuffled to & from the bullpen. Thereafter he went into a tailspin from which he hasn’t emerged. Be nice if he got it back.
