The Red Sox NEED TO CALL UP These Players NOW!!

[@tthomaselli2]

Red Seat Radio- Excellent commentary--as always. Keep it up!...

[@redseatradio]

Thank you so much!

[@josephdubiel7129]

It makes me mad Corbin. Its not all that difficult to bring up these two you are suggesting. Its better than having a couple of relievers who are not even close to effective. I am 70 years old but I know my baseball and I can tell you do too ! Every reliever in that bullpen should have some semblance of effectiveness and I know thats not the case now. You made a good statement during last nights group meeting here. You mentioned that they can't use the same 3 relievers all the time and thats correct. They'd burn out and get injured. Thats why everyone in that bullpen needs to be half way decent and pull their weight. I think the two you are suggesting would outperform Jacques and Joely. I like power arms too that know how to find the strike zone. Rock On Corbin !!! Thanks, Joe P.S. I vote to send Joely and Jacques to the Alaska Gold Paners lol.

[@redseatradio]

Totally agree Joe totally agree

[@dennisszantyr7636]

I agree they have the need and it's a no brainer to bring up Boozer and Kelly. Time to see what they've got and if they can bring stability to the bullpen. What an amazing job by Tanner Houk the team needed that shot in the arm and he delivered big time. Let's Go Red Sox!! Always great to be in the Red Seat with you Corbin!! Have a great day!!

[@redseatradio]

Yeah that was an incredible game from houck last night the bullpen desperately needed it

[@mannybetancourt1697]

Hello, Corbin, I agree with you, the Bronx in the house ❤

[@redseatradio]

Hey manny!

[@kennethnadolny7553]

Right you ate again Really great research ,and content . Sensible solutions to the looming issue at hand.

[@redseatradio]

Appreciate that thank you

[@josephdubiel7129]

Great idea Corbin. Good video. Of course Jacques has been put in the game today and is flushing the game down the sewer.

[@redseatradio]

Yeah it really sucks

[@shawnparker7233]

I would love to see Fitts up for extra starter depth. Criswell isn’t exceptional and if we’re gonna use this season as a development year then why not call him up. Love the video Corbin. Keep it up your cooking with the videos lately

[@redseatradio]

Thanks a lot shawn! And I like Fitts a lot, but I think they are going to let him develop a bit more, he is still working on things

[@austin5019]

Cam Booster and Zack Kelly have both been doing well in Triple A!!! They did a great job out of the bullpen for them on Tuesday night!!! Great guys too!!! Definitely think they will get their chance with Boston at some point this season!!!

[@redseatradio]

Totally agree!

[@jeffreyramsdell4781]

Going to be a long season at Fenway, but hey we have a cheap owner

[@ITzCw4dE]

The worst part he is only cheap for the Red Sox. 3 billion dollar investment into Golf and the Penguins signed the biggest offseason player this past year.

[@williamturner1441]

We have nothing to lose so try anyone !!

[@The27thBallplayer]

Great video about Kelly and Booser. One more thing about Booser's era, both runs he's given up this season were in his debut back on March 30th. Been scoreless since then.

[@redseatradio]

Love that even more thanks!

[@philipdevincentis8566]

Hello Corbin Nice updates on Red Sox pitching. Generally speaking they do not lack players or pitching as the injuries does mirror the depth they have in players, pitchers, and Andrew Bailey on the staff. 2024 looks very interesting.

[@redseatradio]

Yeah very interesting indeed

[@markmccarthy7887]

Kelly velo crazy uptick …dealing with these injuries we probably should be thankful for 10-9 !

[@redseatradio]

Yeah I think you’re 100% right. It could be a lot worse

[@Redsoxgaming]

Booser just called up

[@redseatradio]

I thought they might

[@petergarcia6645]

I definitely agree with you bringing up these 2 relief pitchers would help the whole staff. It's so likely to happen at some point

[@redseatradio]

I think it is too

[@prodigyheat9578]

Position player wise I think we should call up Eddy Alvarez he’s been hitting well, he’s a right handed bat,isn’t a bad fielder, and plays shortstop

[@redseatradio]

Yeah I think we see him at some point

[@Alejandro-mv9yu]

Sox just called up Booser this afternoon. No idea what the attraction is to Joely Rodriguez. He has been terrible and needs to be released. I know it's a long season, but I would rather give the 31-year old Booser a seat on the team then watch Joely get paid far more to contribute absolutely nothing.

[@redseatradio]

I agree

[@rmcintire1087]

With an MRI set for today and Mayer starting the year healthy and on fire can we just call him up? He’s already better than Hamilton at everything except running.

[@redseatradio]

No we don’t wanna solve a short term solution to potentially ruin a long term one

[@prodigyheat9578]

To be honest I would prefer to bring up Cam Boozer because he’s a lefty and you know how much we need that (Joe Jacques and Joely don’t count they suck). I would also love Zach Kelly to replace Campbell.

[@redseatradio]

Yeah I really hope they do cause you’re right

[@kayhelberg676]

Great idea Corbin - Booser sounds like a MUCH better alternative to Joely…and I’m looking forward to Kelly coming back to Boston.

[@redseatradio]

Yeah he does

[@ronallen3852]

9 walks per 9 innings is horrendous. Got to get that down. MLB hitters will make him pay.

[@calebyoung8847]

I agree with this! I also wish we could give another middle infield prospect a chance and get id of hamilton. I just really think his defense and lack of hitting consistently is hurting us bad. Maybe get Sogard up here? I know he isn't playing super well but who knows. Or maybe Eddy Alvarez? I know he's 34 but if he can be league average defender and hitter, then that's wayyyy better than what Hammy is doing.

[@redseatradio]

Yeah I think I would be okay with either of those

[@fastfrank42]

I agree with you on your analysis of Cam Boozer. Both Rodriguez and Jacques are not as affective as he is. I would welcome that change. Zack Kelly is another option. I would think Fitts to take a starting role temporarily.

[@redseatradio]

Fitts isn’t fully ready yet. I would say by June or July we start to see him coming up

[@Alabanzas159]

Is not Cora's fault He has garbage. Only Tanner hucks the bright spot

[@mikegrenier4767]

Why the hell was devers in the outfield to begin with? pissed me off this could be costly for the sox this season

[@teetoo3790]

This Red Sox team looks bad. Bet on Pittsburgh over the weekend. Good thing MLB is so water down they will be in wild card hunt until MLB trade line. This team has potential to be worst than 2012 team who had Ortiz,Pedroia, and Gonzales with Bobby Valentine. We see in a week.

[@redseatradio]

Things aren’t looking good

[@traci635]

Kelly is a great guy, but i think they want to make sure he's all the way healthy before they bring him up. As for Boozer, not sure. It might take a few meltdowns before they move on from Rodriguez.....update! Looks like Boozer is getting called up for the Pittsburgh series...right on Corbin

[@redseatradio]

I like when I actually say something and it comes true. Doesn't happen very often lol

[@jaredontv]

Nope... Cora is hell bent on leaving the kids in the minors and going with bullpen games instead

[@millertime6178]

Richard Fitts could be solid

[@redseatradio]

Definitely but I think he needs more time

[@lawsonvenoit888]

Kelly for Jacques, Booser for Joely, Meidroth for Bobby, Grissom for Valdez, Fitts up,

[@redseatradio]

Fitts isn't ready yet

[@jaredontv]

I thought Bello comes after Houck in the rotation... why didn't he start today?

[@redseatradio]

They had to move everyone around a bit due to the injuries

[@Frequent200FLYswimmer]

David Wilson who started doing long jumps. A neck injury ended his career with the giants

[@redseatradio]

Huh?

[@RodLewis-r8m]

Agree with you, also like Bentiez---Jacques and Rodrigueq belong in AAA,

[@redseatradio]

Yeah Benitez has been really solid too

[@brentbell7235]

Looks like your Cam Booser call up is happening… is your day job working in the Red Sox front office? 😂

[@redseatradio]

I wish

[@brentbell7235]

@@redseatradio i guess Breslow watches Red Seat Radio to get ideas of what to do next… because it is uncanny on the day you call for Booser it happens.

[@williambundy4255]

Wonder if MLB would ever consider increasing the roster size by a couple spots.. giving teams a couple more bullpen arms. So many injuries across MLB .. just a thought. That game last night was old school pitching..great to watch

[@redseatradio]

Yeah I think it would be a smart idea

[@seannorton69]

Who they sending down?

[@redseatradio]

DFA joely option or DFA jaques

[@RickBarnett]

I would definitely take Booser up here before Kelly, Until Kelly gets a better handle on the control, it is a recipe for disaster for the RedSox to have up here. If we had a much better defense I might consider it, but walks for some reason always seem to score up in the big leagues right now, so why discourage him right now, when you can maybe have Bailey visit Worcester and give a little help and have him work it out there. I think once Kelly figures it out, then he can be a really valuable weapon in the pen. Rodriguez and Jacques need to go, so at least Booser can fill one role, and I am hoping Pivetta comes back soon, so they can move Whitlock to the pen, and you could be all set. Keep Criswell up here for now as your #5 if he can give you 5 innings of quality starts it would then round out the starters, and also your bullpen is back to being much better. To Sum up, Pivetta and Criswell join the starters and stay there, while Booser and Whitlock join the pen and DFA both Rodriguez and Jacques. Just a thought though, like to know if you'd do something like that?

[@redseatradio]

Could be possible. I think it will depend on how confident they are in Criswell. The other problem is that totally depletes the rotational depth going forward which they flat out cannot fo

[@stephencorsaro954]

You have to watch Kelly ...not just look at stats. He's wild in the zone still. He'll get hit in the majors. He's getting better though. He's 2 of 3 but stuff that ends up middle if it's not moving is still too high %,and he's still working on a couple of new pitches with location. Too many of them are uncompetitive..never in the zone out of his hand. He needs another 8 or 9 appearances to settle it out.

[@redseatradio]

Yeah I think that is totally fair

[@erikjager4704]

Call up Fitts+Sogard+Meidroth+Kelly. DFA Dablec+Jacques+Rodriguez. Send down Valdez . Booser is questionable. I am a little disappointed with you for thinking so small. I might be wrong about Meidroth, but Valdez can't field+now he isn't hitting. Brewslow has some work to do.

[@redseatradio]

Not exactly thinking small here you look at meiroth he has 1 week total at the AAA level and he’s just now slightly getting his feet under him sogard has more experience but I seriously struggling with the bat

[@patrickreeves4650]

why not sign evan longoria to play third and be the clubhouse leader. send bobby dalbec packing as the guy is never going develop. with devers out of the lineup again today, i think we have to get used to him always being banged up for periods of the season. longoria usually stays pretty healthy, and is going to cost almost nothing.

[@redseatradio]

Might not be a terrible honestly just depends on how much he’s looking for and why he isn’t already signed

[@patriciaorlando4965]

I say call them up

[@sggaming4720]

Agreed they need to bring in another reliever, what’s his name is complaining none stop and I can’t stand it, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the balls. I still think they need to trade for an experience short stop in if Hamilton’s recent improvement. They got the chips to bet on problem is will they cash them and get rewarded is up to them

[@bobmessier5215]

While I agree with tour assessment of Zack Kelly. I disagree about Cam Booser. His numbers prior to this season have been so unimpressive, that I don't even rank him as a Top 100 prospect. He's burly and throws hard and might've improved his game this year, but he's not been consistent, even for one season in his minor league or independent league career.

[@redseatradio]

That’s fine, but sometimes guys just figure something out. Look at literally every starter right now for the Sox. If he’s doing this well why wouldn’t you try to take advantage of that when your lefties at the big league level outside of Bernie even if it is for just a quick stint

[@bobmessier5215]

@@redseatradio I'm a firm believer in playing the hot player until he cools off. Shocked that they called up Joe Jacques who was pitching horrible in Worcester this year, instead of someone else like Kelly..

[@billlamont817]

Hey, He Might Be Another Mickey Lolich.

[@brentbell7235]

For a lefty look at Jorge Benitez on the Woo Sox. Better stats than Booser, and only 24 years old. I would also consider a DFA of Joe Jacques to make room for Richard Fitts. Need additional rotational depth beyond Criswell.

[@remaracs6283]

I hope this is the last we see of Joe Jacques. I get the profile of a crafty lefty but he doesn’t have much funk, he doesn’t have much movement and he doesn’t have any velo. There’s little downside to DFA him and see if he passes waivers

[@redseatradio]

Benitez has been solid but I think Booser has been better and has spent more time in AAA

They suck. The only thing America East. Almost all of them win 2 and lose 4 American East Most of the Teams are twins Yankees are bipolar too

[@Versatilty]

YES! I'm back in the bullpen! Sounds good. Joe is on the 40-man I'm not sure the other two are which might also be part of the issue.

[@redseatradio]

Kelly is I don’t think booser is but Story hasn’t been moved to the 60 day yet, and mata/walter could be 60 day candidates too.

[@Versatilty]

@@redseatradio the other option is Uwasawa because he's on the 40-man although his numbers don't look great. I feel like the Sox have been way too slow to move guys to the IL or deeper down the IL and I don't know why... All that's doing is making the bench/bullpen shorter without support.
