    And they could have used Casey Kelly and Eric Patterson in another trade to bring back talent. It wasn't just Rizzo that the Sox traded.

    I'm not calling out you specifically. I'm calling out all the Sox fans that were for some unknown reason frustrated with AGon's performance in 2011 WHEN HE HAD HIS GREATEST FWAR SEASON THAT YEAR. How many players improve from age 28 to age 29? Not many. I think most improvement stops around 25-27. Weird that true prime is 29 - 31 and then everyone falls off a cliff and isn't needed anymore?

    @IanMBrowne Today at Twins complex: Lin SS, Devers 3B, Martinez DH, Chavis 1B, Peraza 2B, Plawecki C, Castillo LF, Puello RF, Duran CF, Hart LHP

    I agree 100%. Maybe people wouldn't care if they made steroids into a silly joke like Perry was on This Week In Baseball. If the war on drugs never started, this would definitely be a nonissue.

    We have no idea what the butterfly effect does, but the roster would have been stronger with Beltre and Rizzo. Rizzo was good enough to start in 2013. The Sox would not have needed to sign Napoli. Maybe that money is used elsewhere?

    I just don't see how everyone is calling him a let down when his best season ever was in a Sox uni and was traded the following season. Makes no sense. Instead of saying "he was a let down for not hitting 50 hr's," maybe fans should start saying "I'm a dum dum who shouldn't be projecting stuff like that."

    The only problem is that other GM's still work with those deadlines. I don't see the Padres trading Luchessi or Quantril during the season. If they haven't traded them by now, they aren't going to.
  8. mvp 78
    Beltre and Rizzo for sure. It's not really close either.
  9. mvp 78
    Why would you have to cut him slack? His highest career fWAR was in 2011 when playing with the Sox. Makes no sense.
  10. mvp 78
    It's not a debate anymore. Ells was made of glass. Beltre is one of the greatest 3b's of all time. Ells should have gotten out of the way or called Beltre off.

    There are lots of HOF purists who don't want PED users in because those players "cheated." I wish they would also look at all the people who were elected by buddies on the veterans committee in the 50's and 60's who don't deserve to be in. The HOF is a racket and built on a lie that Abner Doubleday founded the game.

    There was a pretty substantial jump in the late 80's in 1987 too. https://www.baseball-almanac.com/hitting/hihr6.shtml 99-01 was the peak for the PED era. However, we're seeing even higher totals since 2016.
  13. mvp 78
    I don't care about the PED stuff. I don't believe what they did was against the rules at the time. Canseco was good, but not good enough for HOF IMO.
  14. mvp 78
    Honestly, McGwire and Sosa should be in even if there numbers aren’t quite there.
  15. mvp 78
    27 in 2011 and a short season after that which you included because you are making a horrible point.
  16. mvp 78
    What’s with this “or not” garbage posting? Anyway, Lowell was coming off one bad year. He wasn’t the train wreck Myers turned his career into.
  17. mvp 78
    8 straight games means 2 rainouts!
  18. mvp 78
    Rumor is the Pads didn’t want to give up the pitching. If that’s true, Sox are better off walking away IMO.
  19. mvp 78
    Seems like Mookie bets on himself.
  20. mvp 78
    AGon’s slugging in 2011 was the second highest of his career. How is that not hitting like the NL?
  21. mvp 78
    Monster Tix for the price of an XL coffee at Dunkies!

    @SoxProspects Rule 5 pick Jonathan Arauz hammers a 3-run blast over the replica monster off Phillies pitcher Cole Irvin to tie up the game 4-4. Arauz hasn't played above Double-A yet but had 11 homers between two levels last season. He's 27th on the #SP60.

    Wait until September. They'll be handing them out for free outside the gates.
  24. mvp 78
    Ahhh, but there is a 0.0001% mortality rate if you wear the OMITVD branded tin foil hat!
  25. mvp 78
    If Sale is wearing it (the most finicky guy in MLB), I think everyone else is fine with wearing it.
