    Wrong about Ward. Correct about Song.

    I think it's all according to plan. Not Bloom's plan though. I think he's Henry's patsy. Bloom will take the fall for now. If the Sox continue to suck, he'll get fired and Henry will bring in another "system" guy. We won't see another DD type.

    I think 03 needed a bullpen.
  4. mvp 78
    No, because while some people keep banging on the "last place" stuff, they really could have been (or should have been) so much worse. They were merely mediocre. They were boring. Pedestrian! Middle of the pack! The were basically an expensive version of the Twins.

    My position was in response to this idea:
  6. mvp 78
    This team was so dreadful that they are getting the 14th pick in the draft. They are mediocre, not inept.
  7. mvp 78
    He is an extremely unique profile for sure. That's the main reason it's such a big topic of conversation.
  8. mvp 78
    It's not head scratching. It's a low risk move. It costs Philly almost nothing. There's no harm in going for the shot in the dark. It worked out for them.
  9. mvp 78
    Wikelman and Paulino actually played at HIGHER levels than Song did.
  10. mvp 78
    No, I'm saying that he should have at least considered the ramifications of leaving Song open to being drafted. If he just absent mindedly forgot about Song and then was shocked that he was drafted, it makes him look like a dumbass... Sorry that the world isn't black and white?
  11. mvp 78
    How many players like him are serving in the military? IDK.
  12. mvp 78
    Those guys are ineligible for the draft though?
  13. mvp 78
    You said "being one player away." I would assume the teams that made the WS in 67, 75, 86 could have won if given one specific player if we played fantasy GM.
  14. mvp 78
    It shows more about where FA is heading and about how the Red Sox have played FA recently. The fact that Story's contract is remotely close to Manny's deal says a lot about the state of the game.
  15. mvp 78
    Shouldn't Bloom be smarter than baseball pundits?
  16. mvp 78
    No, if he isn't granted permission, he's more likely to stay with Philly. He'd only have to stay on their active roster for 60 days next season if he was granted permission.
  17. mvp 78
    At some point, Song was going to be ready to pitch. He has stated all along that his intent was to pitch in MLB. Bloom needed to have a plan in place. Did he have one?
  18. mvp 78
    Is that the case though? Have they confirmed that they were surprised that Song could have been taken? Or is that just speculation?
  19. mvp 78
    Story's deal isn't THAT big.
  20. mvp 78
    C'mon...

    2020: Heath/Brandon for Pivetta/Seabold Mitch for Potts/Rosario Pillar for Jacob Wallace Oshit for Zach Bryant JBJ expiring not dealt 2021: Aldo for Schwarber Robles/Davis 2022: CV for Valdez Abreu Diekman for McGuire Northcut for Pham Groome for Hosmer, Ferguson, Rosier Nate not traded JD not traded Xander not traded Hill not traded Wacha not traded He did well in 2020, but should have dealt JBJ. 2021 was good, but those relief pieces didn't work out. 2022 was very half-assed. Not a fan of that deadline at all. He didn't get under the luxury tax. QO compensation was worsened. The only slam dunk trades that he won was the Pivetta and Schwarber deals.
  22. mvp 78
    Until I see it, I don't believe it will happen.
  23. mvp 78
    The vast majority of us on here have questioned why players like Ort and Brasier have been retained. When have debated the reasoning behind it. We'll see if it works out in Bloom's favor. His track record shows that there will be a few missteps each season, but that's not really unique to him. However, prior to the Rule 5 draft, I don't remember one f***ing poster on here saying "WHY DIDN'T WE PROTECT NOAH SONG?"
  24. mvp 78
    You certainly CAN blame Bloom for not protecting Song. He weighed the risks and figured the other GM's would see it the same way. If this took Bloom completely by surprise, then you REALLY need to blame him.
  25. mvp 78
    Easier to learn patience against AA and AAA pitchers than to be thrown into the fire of MLB. When he hacks at OOZ pitches, he just makes really weak contact. He'd get eaten alive once the book got around on him in MLB. When you have all these evaluators saying the exact same thing about a player, you probably should listen.
