And the Beeks trade was probably his best deal.

 

Ad the subsequent Eovaldi extension might have been his worst...

Bring up all Ben's moves again too.

 

We'll devise a rating system for each move.

 

We've only just begun with this...

[cp176]

Lets' take out Kopech and Moncada....unless you think Sox gets Chris Sale and his friendly contract for NOTHING.

 

/QUOTE]

 

this isn't the first time i will type this nor the last. DD overpaid and/or threw away so many prospects prior to the Sale trade that i very much believe he could have been had for some of the players that were used in prior trades.

 

The only thing that this will get you Slasher is another atta boy - you are my hero - post of the day comment. lol

think I made a little posting error here Nick - meant for my friend Slasher.

[cp176]

can we ease up a bit on tearing down the farm by DD?

 

Give me a list of major league all stars that we've given up....

 

oh Nick - you know not what you have done.

Theo signed AGon and Crawford and forced the whole thing to be torn down.

[mvp 78]

The thing I really disagree with Slasher is on how much DD overpaid. Unless you were in the negotiations, you have no informed opinion on what it takes to get a deal done. This isn’t MLB the Show, or a baseball card trade or whatever.

 

“They needed to do the deal, but just the one I thought they could do.” Nonsense.

[cp176]

here is where a guy like me gets into the "Who gives a s***" mode? Maybe if we keep beating on the past GM's (most of whom I can't remember) some people will forget about the present. it is so much fun to hammer down on all that has happened in the past. Whatever the new guy's name is maybe he is thinking that he will get at least a year of two of free passes due to all of the absolutely incompetent work done by his predecessors.

this would be fun to do but something tells me there would be many moves that posters would disagree on the rating.

A very true statement. i very much like the fact that there are opposing points of view to consider.

Wade Miley? A fifth starter at best that Sox fans couldn't wait to get rid of when he pitched here?

 

I'll let Moon talk about Shaw, because he had much to say about Shaw in his last year with the Sox.

 

How many would be on our 40 man roster? You know the team that finished 3rd in the Division.

 

Our 40 man roster is very weak in depth, right now, I'd bet 10-14, not counting Kopech and Moncada.

THe Sox only have 39 players on the 40 man roster, and a lot of them seem easily replaceable, including Johnson, Travis, Osich, Poyner, Brasier, and Weber. And so far, we haven't seen anything from Kelley, Shawaryn, Reyes, and Lakins, but there is some time with them.

 

That's 10 out of 39 spots...

It’s not about the disagreement, it’s that your argument on that point is bad.

[mvp 78]

What if the Sox never traded anyone or did FA pickups? Worse than the Orioles? There were a few horrid drafts during the Ben years.

The Kimbrel trade being a classic example.

[Bellhorn04]

DD's overpay for Kimbrel was dwarfed by the GOAT Theo's overpay for Chapman.

The “overpay” was due to Logan Allen who nobody on here mentioned when the trade went down.

[jacksonianmarch]

Theo's overpay broke a 108 year curse. The Cubs will take that overpay every day and twice on sunday to finally see a title.

But it wasn't our responsibility to know what Allen was. It was Dombrowski's, however...
