    Yorke is better than Valdez. He's good enough to field the position, but is never going to be better than average at his peak. Mayer is a really good SS though.
  2. mvp 78
    If the Red Sox want Ohtani, just wait until the offseason and make him an offer then.
  3. mvp 78
    No. What do the 2023 Sox need Ohtani for? He's not going to get them closer to the playoffs if they give up Casas and Verdugo.
  4. mvp 78
    Without being rude, I'm talking about the near future, not two years ago or the past. The farm is close. If things break right, this team could really turn the afterburners on in 2025.
  5. mvp 78
    Lugo has been horrible. I'm not sure Kavadas gets passed AAA. Hamilton is a useful bench piece at best, but needs to work on other positions.
  6. mvp 78
    I don't think they should be buyers at all. Would Paxton take a QO? If he turns it down, it allows you to target a high value FA. I hope that Henry has the stomach to start spending again once the young talent arrives, but I'm not convinced.
  7. mvp 78
    Start 8: 4 IP, 3 times as many BB's as K's, 1.50 WHIP Start 9: 4 IP, 3 ER, 2.25 WHIP Start 10: 3 IP, 1.67 WHIP He's really not turning the lineup over and a lot of guys are getting on base. The results are far from what we saw in AA. Also, he is dealing with an injury so we don't know what impact that has had on him since promotion or when it began as it hasn't been reported.
  8. mvp 78
    I didn't say to count Drohan out. All I said was that he's struggled in AAA. We are talking about successes of Sox development and I don't think we can include him yet. Seems fair? On Perales, I said that they should consider trading him since he has decent trade value, needs to be added to the 40 man this offseason, is far away and the Sox have said they want to compete next season. If the Sox don't intend on competing next season and can carry additional 40 man slots or don't want to add assets at the deadline, then just hold onto him. Not sure why that was so controversial on here either?
  9. mvp 78
    I didn't say they "built it up overnight." I said they went from doormats to contenders overnight and that the Sox could do the same if their farm talent matured. Not sure how that's controversial? Bloom has had time to get the meat of the farm to AA. The talent isn't that far away now. If the bats are good, Bloom should be ready to spend heavily on some arms and get this team to win.
  10. mvp 78
    He's had 10 starts in AAA.
  11. mvp 78
    His AAA stats leave something to be desired and he's starting to deal with a few injuries. Overall, I don't see a whole lot from the draft that has added to the system. The bats are good, the pitching not so much.
  12. mvp 78
    Yes, it's really great.
  13. mvp 78
    They didn't develop Schreiber. Winckowski and Crawford are just bullpen arms. We don't really know what Houck is, but it doesn't seem to be even a middle rotation guy. Sox need to develop starting rotation arms.
  14. mvp 78
    If he's in A ball and needs to be put on the 40 man, maybe. That's clearly not the case though.
  15. mvp 78
    I think we'd need to see more than one guy show some success to really believe it.
  16. mvp 78
    Bloom hasn't shown that he's been able to do that.
  17. mvp 78
    Guys that could be up by the end of 2025: C: Scott, Hickey IF: Mayer, Yorke, Valdez, Meidroth, Bonaci, Jordan OF: Abreu, Anthony, Rafaela Not all of them will be ready. However, we know that Devers, Story, Masataka, Casas, Wong, Refsnyder and Duran are most likely to be on the roster. Opening Day Roster 2025? C: Wong, Hickey IF: Casas, Story, Mayer, Yorke, Devers, Scott/FA OF: Masataka, Duran, Refsnyder, Abreu, Rafaela
  18. mvp 78
    You always have a great way of not just moving the goalposts, but completely erasing them.
  19. mvp 78
    The pitchers they got last year have been mediocre to bad. They should have went with a few more ERC types which are further away, but have higher ceilings. When you load up on below slot guys, you're really just adding to the pigpen. I worry about the same thing with this draft.
  20. mvp 78
    Liu and Guerrero could turn into interesting late inning arms IMO. There's a lot of bats and not a lot of room on the BOS roster for them. Story's contract seemingly blocks one of the 2B/SS spots. Are they going to move Duran to LF? Will Verdugo be retained? Think outside the box and move Story to LF?
  21. mvp 78
    The O's went from perennial doormat to contender overnight. The Sox could get there quickly depending on how the farm matures and if they spend their money wisely.
  22. mvp 78
    They used to do draft and follow, but I believe that went away. I don't mind the shorter window.
  23. mvp 78
    They say they are close.
  24. mvp 78
    They have a good AAAA team. Just because they are winning games in AAA doesn't mean they have a good pipeline of talent ready to help BOS. Rick Lancelotti was mashing for the PAWSOX but wasn't going to be doing anything of note for the big club unless there was some sort of Donner Party/Andes Flight/Yellow Jacket incident.
  25. mvp 78
    Also, we all knew there was significant injury risk to how Bloom constructed this starting rotation. It's not a surprise that it's falling apart.
