    Conversation originally started with me saying: Duran/Mata for Mountcastle/Means Then moon said he wanted to do that deal, but for a grab bag of prospects including Dalbec, which I was also fine with because it still included Means. I think Mountcastle is an improvement upon Dalbec, but I don't see the Sox doing a 3 for 1 deal for Mountcastle that included Dalbec and other legit prospects.

    It depends on what the other pieces are.
  3. mvp 78
    I mean, I'd take Cedric Mullens.
  4. mvp 78
    Is 3 years of Trivino a real coup?

    Tell me more about the joys of 2005, 2006, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2020. Were those seasons fun for everyone? If there weren't a few WS flags in there, don't you think that fans would be more pissed. If the playoffs are a crapshoot, you can't guarantee to get a ring every few years while alternating with pissing off your fans. At some point, you'll just piss off your fans and end the season with a loss for a few decades.

    Mountcastle 1.4 fWAR, age 24 Dalbec 0.7 fWAR, age 26

    Peaks and valleys. It's fine for a guy making league minimum, but hard to build around him. I'd rather a consistent performer.
  8. mvp 78
    Yes.
  9. mvp 78
    Well, I'll sit here and wait for them to re-sign, but it hasn't happened yet.
  10. mvp 78
    Well, I look forward to Yankee Conspiracy Tik Toks.

    Doubtful. With how much data we get on each pitch, it'd be hard for the MLB to come up with a scheme that would be sneaky enough to even look like that.
  12. mvp 78
    They could just allow pitchers to throw a quick pitch for any batter that does that. Ump doesn't have to allow a time call.

    When fan favorites are no longer kept around, you'll see more an more grumbling. If the Sox are a mediocre 85 win team next year, you'll hear LOTS of complaints.

    "I actually like it every once in a while that my food is undercooked. It really keeps me guessing when I'm out to eat!"
  15. mvp 78
    If the Sox really believe in his skill level, they'd be smart to protect him just in case. However, I agree that another team carrying him on their roster would be a substantial burden. Could it make sense for a team already at the bottom of the standings? Ward is probably the third best player on that list.
  16. mvp 78
    Doesn't matter. If the Sox are perceived as penny pinching (Lester, Betts, Bogaerts?), fans at some point will no longer be ok with forking out a thousand bucks to take their family to a game. Seems like this year should have been the perfect storm to go over since they got to the ALCS. A few spendy moves could have pushed them into the WS.
  17. mvp 78
    It's an upgrade if you think Dalbec won't repeat that performance. If I was GM, I'd just hold onto Dalbec and try to find him another position once Casas is ready.
  18. mvp 78
    I get it, but I think selling prospects at their peak in value is a good way to manage your investments. Mountcastle could move to LF when Casas is ready.
  19. mvp 78
    I think it's not even the speed. The problem is that umpires struggle to call outside pitches because of where they set up behind the catcher. If they went back to more substantial protection they could have a better angle on all pitches.
  20. mvp 78
    It doesn't change the game. The effect is much less noticeable than extreme shifts, starters not going longer than 4 innings, the numerous ads that a fan is subject to while at a game or watching from home.
  21. mvp 78
    At some point, if the Sox owners continue to limit themselves due to a luxury tax, fans will turn on them for the ever increasing cost of going to a game or even just wanting to watch the product from home.
  22. mvp 78
    Is the stove room temperature or an ice box?
  23. mvp 78
    27.5% isn't great, but it's better than Dalbec. Which one is more likely to become Chris Davis? Yes, when we collect some of the greatest hitters of the modern era (Manny, Papi), the team is more likely to be better. Agree 100%.
  24. mvp 78
    Please.
  25. mvp 78
    How does it change the game aside from creating a rules based strike zone?
