They really had no chance against Papelbon, did they? Wow. That was dominant.
-
And what is plate discipline? (hint: Check the bolded)
-
I'm not. All offense is predicated on plate discipline and Crawford's is not very good. Under the circumstances a collapse is hardly unfathomable.
-
Yikes. We get good Papelbon tonight.
-
It's also yet another example of overpaying for Speed. I don't like Crawford. I wish we hadn't signed him and I didn't want him in that offseason.
-
Yes, that's why he's a redemption contract rather than costing us a bundle the way Bedard did. He's a guy we picked up on a low risk investment and he's about to pick up his 5th win. He's by no means a finished product but if he were, with his stuff, there's no way he'd be anyone's 5th starter. Especting him to play up to his stuff is ludicrously foolish. He is still improved however, and I suspect he'll continue to do so. By no means do/did I want to see him make starts for us in the playoffs though. I'd rather Miller was developing in Pawtucket TBH. Maybe with Bedard on the roster we can get back to that.
-
And Reddick's patience has improved, which is why he broke out this year. We'll see what happens with Kalish's power.
-
Then you're blind to what's really going on with Miller. Sorry to put it so bluntly, but the guy is also in his sixth year of PROFESSIONAL development, which corresponds to a player in about their second or third big league season, and without a lot of the development a prospect on the standard trajectory picks up along the way. You just can't treat Miller like he's had a normal career track. He hasn't been anywhere near that.
-
Nope, looks like he lost it deliberately trying to force a tie.
-
Miller's final line isn't terrible is it? THe 10 hits aren't great, but the 1 walk and 8 strikeouts is significant progress. I wish he was going deeper into the game, at his stage of developemt I'll take 5+
-
I doubt it. They're different kinds of players. Reddick's a bad ball hitter and more of a corner OF, Kalish is a patient guy with 5 tools and a better CF. I think Kalish right now is at least as much Ellsbury insurance as Reddick insurance. Point is we could easily wind up needing both players.
-
4 B- to B level prospects, the headliner of which was either Tim Federowicz or Stephen Fife, depending on who you ask.
-
So who volunteers to drive Bedard down to the Dominican and get him some "stem cells?" Because he could really use some of whatever Colon's having.
-
We have no problem with right field depth now or in the future, even if you're skeptical about Reddick. Pence would not have been as good an acquisition for us.
-
Not in the same game, once you're on the lineup card you're either in the lineup or done. But there are storied incidents in the past of a player playing for one team in game 1 of a doubleheader and the other for game 2.
-
I'd hesitate to call Chiang a "good prospect." He's more "interesting" in my own personal parlance. He's not a lock to make the majors, and that's where I draw the line. This was kinda them spinning some of the guys we dumped on them for Robinson. We didn't get anything from the dodgers, so it was probably called a three way deal to get the whole thing under the radar and approved in time.
-
-
I guess it doesn't matter what type he'd be anyway. I mean, would YOU offer Bedard arbitration? I would, and hope he'd accept, since he'd be useful when he did pitch and we have depth, but I suspect I'm in the minority
-
How was Eric Gagne a Type A in 2006? Heck, how was he a Type B in 2007 when he had flat out SUCKED for about half of 2006? You answer that question, you answer your own.
-
-
Bee. Ess. If that's how it really went down we gave up 5 prospects for Bedard and Nothing Else. If Fields makes the bigs it's because someone made a mistake, and that mistake will be quickly corrected. He is literally valueless.
-
If we didn't get Robinson, we come out second here, especially if Bedard is not a Type A.
-
Bedard. Did you think power lefties, even oft-injured ones, would be cheap at the deadline?
-
As soon as we know where Robinson is going, someone let me know. Seattle was the intuitive place for him to wind up because they're the ones who need big league ready hitters, but if we gave up that much and got nothing but 2 months of Bedard and a squib with no idea where the ball is going, I'm going to be a bit miffed, even if it did just cust us midtier prospects.
