A CY runner up last yes, but the here, and now he’s imitating Frail Sale after just 1 year of a heavy workload. Who couldn’t see that coming?🤔

We know you didn’t.

Sorry, but i questioned more than once on here this past offseason if the first time heavy workload for Crochet would have any affect on him this year. You?🤔

I mean it depends on who he gets in return. If he got a proven bat, then you’d hear no such things from me. But if it’s Durbin for Harrison, or Dustin May for James Tibbs. Then yes I might still b*tch about Breslow. 

Well, nobody is waiting to see what Durbin gives us over 5 years to bash that trade, so I'm taking this as a yes.

No! no one is waiting 5 years to bash anything. Here, and now is one thing, and a final thumbs up, or thumbs down is quite another.

This BTV trade suggestion seems to be favored by more people than disfavored:

Duran & Chapman to SEA

for

Michael Arroyo & Eduard Bazardo

Your thoughts?

I'm not sure about giving up Chapman for just this.

Would SEA give Arroyo for Duran?

95% of the regulars on the board were questioning all last year, starting in spring training.  Is it a legit concern? Absolutely. Are you the only one to make it?  Not even close.  If anything, you were late to the party…

My take on Arroyo is Seattle fans are divided on him.   Most love his power, but his contact skills remain in question.  But as he is 21 and already in AA, I assume Seattle holds him abd gives him time…

I don't know enough about Arroyo to give it a thumbs up or down.

I'd like more proven assets, but deadline trades are usually proven players for prospects.

i can see why they're divided. i've seen Arroyo play ever single home game that he's played in AA. in person. i'm sorta lukewarm on him. he has Caleb Durbin power (10-15 a year), his bat is averageish, his glove is decent, and slightly better than average speed. he started out at 2B, and still plays there some, but they've had him in LF most recently. he doesn't have the range or arm for SS. most of all, what i have a problem with, is his attitude. he has, hands down, the worst attitude on the entire team. he's just the opposite of his best buddy  -Lazaro Montes. Kade Anderson is the one player they have, i'd love to see in a Red Sox uniform. that kid is the real deal.

to sum it up, Arroyo is meh. not terrible, not great.

He's largely an unknown value.

That’s our best report on him…
