    Will look forward to Speier's next book: KaBloom: How the Red Sox Blew Up Their Historic Franchise...

    I also completely understand why some people have hated Bloom from day one. He has no personality, got hosed on the Betts trade and looked absolutely foolish in 2020. If there was a carry over from 2021 into 2022, maybe there'd be an argument that Bloom is THE guy? Right now, his future is murky at best. Aside from tanking a short season to get Mayer and selecting Whitlock, what has he done?
  3. mvp 78
    I don't know if anyone can really say for sure what Henry is thinking.
  4. mvp 78
    It shouldn't take 10 years. 6 at most. They had enough talent to deal that they could have restocked the farm system early on.
  5. mvp 78
    Look, it's hard to not want to win as many games as possible every year. I get it. I don't fault posters that wanted to try for the playoffs last season. To me, it just seemed like the team was treading water and Bloom's whole plan was to build for the future. Right now, it's unclear how he's building a future? He's hoarding average prospects. I'm not sure that gets the job done. I agree with the theory of what was proposed, I don't agree with its execution.

    @alexspeier The Red Sox are giving up a ton of homers - 12 through 5 games. They’ve noted that the ball is flying at Fenway. But that issue has been made way worse by the fact that their pitchers lead MLB in meatball percentage Great job!
  7. mvp 78
    We've discussed this ad nauseam, I believe. He's following the Ben Cherington trajectory. It depends on if Henry is ok with it. If I'm the owner, I'm not happy with it.
  8. mvp 78
    Even with some one year deals, what will Bloom replace them with? More old starting rotation guys on one year deals?
  9. mvp 78
    Also the adage of "pitching wins championships" since Bloom is allergic to building a rotation.
  10. mvp 78
    Chang was great in the WBC. LFG!!!!
  11. mvp 78
    Agree.
  12. mvp 78
    I asked it before. Wonerment?
  13. mvp 78
    Why hasn’t Bloom brought over developmental guys from TBR?
  14. mvp 78
    Stinks like a poopy diaper.
  15. mvp 78
    Yes, it's only been 4 games. 1. I'm only worried about Arroyo, because he's never been good enough to be a starter. 2. The starting rotation has looked bad and needs to show improvement the next time through or there is a HUGE problem.

    When the exit velocity of your HR is 106 MPH, but it's still called WIND BLOWN... SMDH...
  17. mvp 78
    Because the Sox said for a long time that they wanted Xander. Then Xander went to the Padres. Then then the Sox said Story would be the SS. Then then then Story got hurt. Posters were speculating at the time period of the first sentence.
  18. mvp 78
    If Trey Ball did work out, Bloom wouldn't have re-signed him anyway.
  19. mvp 78
    To get Alcantara from the Marlins, the Sox would have to give up Mayer, Rafaela, Bello and Houck. How much do the Sox really believe in Mayer?
  20. mvp 78
    With his track record? No. They were aiming for Jordan Lawlar with pick #4. Rocker was injured, so they would have passed on him. If Leiter falls to #4, do they take him? 5.50 ERA in 23 G in 2022. In a redraft, Davis, Mayer and Lawlar don't even make it to pick #4 most likely.
  21. mvp 78
    Casas has reached base every game this year.
  22. mvp 78
    Huh? The Sox said that Story was going to be the SS. He revealed the injury after ramping up his practice like a week after the Sox stated he'd be the SS.
  23. mvp 78
    Sox wanted Jordan Lawlar, pick #6. https://www.milb.com/player/jordan-lawlar-691783
  24. mvp 78
    Why would I give up Yoshida? Why wouldn't Bloom just spend more money? Are we now a midmarket team that always has to be under the CBT? Last season: sign Kevin Gausman for 18M AAV (the cost of Paxton/Hill/Wacha) and get 5.7 fWAR, sign the Rodon contract for 22 AAV and get 6.2 fWAR, sign Verlander for 25 AAV and get 6.1 fWAR. You're over the cap for one year, but you'll reset in 2023 and it's the final stretch run with the old core. Just go for it.
  25. mvp 78
    Arroyo has also been dreadful. -23 wRC+ I noticed at least one ball that Story/Pedroia would have fielded cleanly for an out, but Arroyo let scoot into RF.
