The plan included Arroyo as a platton RHB though? Yuck!
-
The only time I saw them live that season was in OAK. Didn't get to Fenway that year. Nomar only playing 21 games helped tune people out.
-
I'm surprised Jay Groome's dad didn't make an appearance.
-
Google "Luke Voit Tommy Pham." Pham's first issue wasn't Joc. People have always gotten uppity over him.
-
Wasn't 2001 the s***** unlikeable Red Sox team that everyone hated?
-
He should have fixed it in the offseason, yes. However, he found a guy now. Why bitch about the move today? Why not say, ok let's see what happens? I have agreed all along that the OF plan sucked. I agreed that it sucked in 2021. I agreed that the bullpen plan sucked in the offseason. Bloom can be criticized for it. However, criticizing him AFTER the trades that you've called for seems weird AF.
-
Are these the goalposts we keep hearing about?
-
No, not THAT one!
-
Maybe it's just for a platoon since he's RHB. wRC+ vs LHP 131
-
Vaz is fine. He was a decent catcher with some highlight moments, but ultimately he's replaceable. Let's not pretend they just traded Varitek in 2003. It's up to Bloom to find the replacement.
-
People complain over and over again that baseball players are too chummy and they hate it when players yuck it up on the field. However, when you have a guy like Pham who actively says he'll fight the other team, the same people get pissed off about it. You can't eat the whole cake and then be pissed off that the cake isn't sitting on the counter later on.
-
Aside from the arrest, have there been other issues with McGuire? Is he a bad teammate? I've never even heard of the guy until last night.
-
Tell me you don't actually know what you're talking about without telling me you don't actually know what you're talking about.
-
But having a strong performance did help improve his trade stock after some of his recent groaners.
-
I mean, they didn't go all in last year. They just obtained Schwarber and Robles/Davis. We wanted more. Many people wanted them to either be all in on a sale or a buy this year, but they seemed to again just kinda toe the line which was the ever present third option.
-
It's so you don't have to play Jaylin Davis and he was acquired for a PTBNL AND you spent all of the past few days bitching about the Sox not having OFers. Now he gets and OFer and you still complain? Seems like it doesn't matter whether or not he does make a move?
-
Vazquez is leaving at the end of the year. If they want to bring him back, they can just re-sign him. Valdez is 23 and in AAA with an OPS of 907. He is 13 months older than Casas, not some washed up retread. Abreu is 23 and in AA and is the lesser prospect, but fills an organizational hole at OF. What 25 year old in AA are we talking about? "It's not about the prospects it's about dealing your #1 C at cheap money." Yeah, that's why you can deal him at the deadline. If he wasn't a #1, nobody would want him. If he was expensive, nobody would want him. He has value because he's cheap and pretty good. You complain about Bloom NOT making changes, but then complain when he does make changes. It makes no sense.
-
Chapman is right there.
-
It's a warm, tender embrace.
-
notin is in fourth place in the TalkSox fantasy league after having a spat about "actually" being in first place and stating that he'd be in first place at the very end anyway.
-
The problem is that there is a certain segment on here that just complains about everything no matter what. If Bloom didn't trade Vazquez they'd be jumping up and down about Bloom doing nothing yesterday. That he was able to turn an expiring deal into two upper level prospects seems fine to me. The worry was that it would be A ball guys, but it was AA/AAA guys so that argument goes away. Bloom even got a replacement for Vazquez, but dumping the second worst contract in the bullpen. Furthermore, just to stop the bleeding in the OF, which many people were outraged over yesterday, they got Tommy Pham for a PTBNL or cash considerations. Is Pham a great player? No. Does he have a higher fWAR than any current Sox OFer? Yes. Are people still complaining about this move that only cost a f***ing PTBNL? Yes. Why? IDK.
-
Seems like someone is a little crabby for being in 4th place now…
-
It was a horrible trade. However, you stated they has to cover for injured Kiké, but Renfroe missed a lot of time too.

Scherff

If Bloom was unable to unload the full Diekman contract, I’m happy.
