They know Pallante and are going to give him a chance. Simple familiarity.
Dobbins had an ACL tear. It's healing. They are just being cautious with him, that's all.

Re: Pitchers received from Sox
Yes it’s been reported he rushed back from the first one which most likely lead to the second one. They have been very conservative on bringing him back from the second one to make sure he has fully recovered from it.Goldfan wrote: ↑20 Mar 2026 20:58 pm2nd repair to same ACL before the kid is 25.Cranny wrote: ↑20 Mar 2026 20:24 pm

Fitts and Dobbins need more time.
AP in the starting rotation doesn’t mean he’s there until years end, or even through May.

Re: Pitchers received from Sox
What’s the logic of “needing more time”? More time for what? Dick Fitts is healthy, Cuse was really excited to see Dick in the Starting rotation. What specifically does he need more time for?Cusecards wrote: ↑20 Mar 2026 21:28 pmPlease stop with arguing logic!ecleme22 wrote: ↑20 Mar 2026 21:18 pmFitts and Dobbins need more time.

The LOGIC of this situation is that Fitts was projected to beat out a Pallante and BP arm Leahy. Pallante has a track record of being a poor SP
6-15, 5.60 ERA last season. LOGIC would follow that type of SP wouldn’t be hard to beat out in a competition for SP.
So please formulate this logic I’m apparently not following.

And though I don’t love AP, he has had successful long streaks as a starter.
Dobbins and Fitts aren’t presently in the rotation. That can change.

Fitts has always had control issues….thus his losing record and 5+ ERA but that didn’t stop the CT geniuses slotting him the 2026 rotation after the tradeecleme22 wrote: ↑21 Mar 2026 08:19 amFitts is having some control issues he is working out.Goldfan wrote: ↑21 Mar 2026 08:12 amWhat’s the logic of “needing more time”?

Re: Pitchers received from Sox
What fan has a list of 29 teams prospects who align in particular trades? Is that my job? I’m POBO. I can recognize damaged bodies and the risks associated compared to normal MLB player injury history. The same torn ACL by 25 in a high leg torque position as SP isn’t the same as a pulled hamstring. A 24 yr old who has NEVER pitched a full season at any level who’s had TJ, TOS, fractured shoulder, and now circulatory issues/numbness in pitching arm who required surgery to correct an aneurysm should be a Giant RED FLAG. And these were the 2 TOP main prospects returned….who had CTers so excited.Cusecards wrote: ↑21 Mar 2026 08:40 amWhere’s that LIST of players you were going to provide that Bloom missed out on?????????Goldfan wrote: ↑21 Mar 2026 08:12 amWhat’s the logic of “needing more time”?

When you stop babbling and whining you need to get someone”working your corner” to “throw in the towel”.
You’re taking too many head shots!

And at least I’ll continue having meaningful discussions with the majority of CT posters.
And we’ll agree to disagree.
I think we’ve got you figured out. And you are wise to stick to an “anonymous” forum.
In public you’d be laughed out of the room.
