    That's why it's called the OFF-season. They are taking a season off. Therefore, Noah Song actually hasn't pitched in 7 years.
  2. mvp 78
    I don't think he would have been eligible for the minor league portion until next season.
  3. mvp 78
    The Orioles frequently select multiple Rule 5 guys in a given year. They clearly value the Rule 5 process. Maybe OAK or PIT dump their Rule 5 guys in favor of Noah Song now that his eligibility questions are cleared up? I wouldn't outright dismiss it the way you are.

    His trades and his treatment of the 40 man roster during his days as a Red Sox exec show otherwise...
  5. mvp 78
    I thought that was Sean McAdam?
  6. mvp 78
    The Nats can use Ward. Your argument was "how can they stash 2 Rule 5 guys, boy is that hard." Well, I think it's going to be easy to stash Ward as he's going to be just fine for them. For Song, if the Nats see him as a high value long term project, why not just stash him as the last guy on your bench. It's not a big deal. They aren't competing. That's not dragging their product down in any measurable manner.

    I disagree. He's a good exec because he makes the most out of his MLB squad. The bottom of the 40 man roster isn't as big of a deal to him. I didn't say Miller was useless, just that he was ultimately "meaningless" to DD. DD wants impact to the Phillies in 2023. He doesn't care about long term stuff. He wants a WS today. If he thinks Song can be an impact reliever on that 26 man roster, then it's all worthwhile. The guys that don't have the juice can be let go. It's why he was quick to add Dubon and Logan Allen to trades. Ultimately, he didn't need them that year and just wanted a deal done. He has a completely different outlook on building a farm than other execs. To him, he uses his farm to supplement his MLB team through trades first and foremost.

    The difference between Ward and Song is that you don't have to hide Ward. Ward can be the 5th starter. I thought Ward would pitch in BOS this season anyway. He's not being obscenely rushed along. Song can just be the 13th pitcher. Nats aren't trying to compete at all. Why not stash another Rule 5 guy? What's the downside?

    DD doesn't care about the bottom of his 40 man. We know this about him. The guy he traded was meaningless to him.

    @ChrisCotillo Bleier, Mills, Ort and a bunch of minor leaguers in a bullpen game against Houston today. Houck starts tomorrow followed by Brasier, Kelly, Mata, Dermody, Feltman and Broadway. Paxton on track to start Friday. Looks like I'll be taking an afternoon meeting on Friday at 1:05.

    Yeah, Pete Abraham really is going out of his way this offseason to ramp up his flabbergastic nature.
  13. mvp 78
    It depends on how he's throwing. If he's only hitting 91, he's being sent back. If he's touching mid 90's with fringy offspeed stuff, I could see OAK/WSH/PIT being able to stash him for the year and thinking of him as a long term solution somewhere once his arm is built back up.

    Cleveland Browns 2015-17
  15. mvp 78
    100%. If he doesn't work out there, they'll move on and forget he even showed up.
  16. mvp 78
    To DD, it's a Rule 5 pick. The risk is a loss of $100,000. It's nothing. If Noah shows up and can throw smoke. It's a win. If he can't, you can trade him or let him go back. I don't think he really overthought it.

    @MacCerullo Baseball America has the #RedSox No. 10 on its preseason organizational talent rankings, up one spot from last year.

    https://twitter.com/soxgifs/status/1630947424050069505 Valdez/Soto HR swing side by side. @PeteAbe Great conversation with Enmanuel Valdez this morning. He heard that NESN’s Kevin Youkilis compared his HR swing last night to Juan Soto’s. But he originally learned it from his father Humberto and grandfather Aciado. “They taught me,” he said. “I’ve had that swing a long time.”

    Ravelo higher than Freili Encarnacion? I'd disagree with that one at the very least. Rogers is SP #53.
  20. mvp 78
    Sorry, I didn't realize that was an option. Jeez...
  21. mvp 78
    That was directly on the team website? Maybe the pricing was increased based on the opponent?
  22. mvp 78
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Boston_Red_Sox_broadcasters Stockton/Hawk replaced Ken Coleman/Pesky.
  23. mvp 78
    How would they do that?
  24. mvp 78
    Or it took a few years for Bautista and Dickey to become what they'd eventually become? IDK.
  25. mvp 78
    I don't even know if there have been reports about what his velo looks like. All I've heard is that he's done some agility drills and light throwing.
