    Maybe? Is Cora's brand tarnished across the league?
  2. mvp 78
    All of these dumpster dives are always low risk/low reward. I think we'll continue to see Bloom sign a bunch of guys like that, but augment it with some legitimate pickups. It would have been really interesting to see what this team would have looked like if there wasn't the mandate to cut payroll.

    I just didn't see much out of Covey in the games I watched. Stock was fine. I thought Valdez was interesting. Springs had a good stretch in the middle, started off bad and ended on a flat note.
  4. mvp 78
    Half of Valdez' runs came in one series against Toronto. Maybe just a bad matchup for him?
  5. mvp 78
    I don't think any of those guys are a slam dunk. I would just say that Valdez played the best out of them all. Too hard to really project these guys for more than what we've already seen. I didn't think much of Covey, but Stock has good "stuff." Mazza was a pleasant surprise for sure.
  6. mvp 78
    That's exactly the reasoning. The pen was littered with AAAA guys. I guess you keep Springs/Valdez/Mazza. The rest were all pretty replaceable. Seems like a few writers at OTM really like Brice, but I'm not a fan.

    A ranking of Bloom's 2020 scrapheaps: https://www.overthemonster.com/2020/10/5/21501628/boston-red-sox-roster-chaim-bloom-waiver-pick-ups-yairo-munoz-christian-arroyo-phillips-valdez?utm_campaign=mattrycollins&utm_content=chorus&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter Munoz Arroyo Brice Valdez Springs Mazza Grullon Arauz Stock Leyer Triggs Kickham Puello Hall Covey Godley My issues with the list: Brice is no way the 3rd best guy. Valdez should be #1. Mazza is better than Springs. After the top 6 guys or so, I don't think the order makes much of a difference. It's like picking from a hat. Valdez Munoz Arroyo Mazza Springs Arauz everyone else

    I would say it's more likely than not that they get someone other than Cora. Cora coming back is like a 20% chance IMO. I think Bloom likes him, but is going to give some other guys an opportunity to come in and wow them during the interview process.

    Also, no one on here thinks the sky is falling. We're just aware that the Sox have tried to manage payroll a little bit better in recent history. Signing Bauer would be opposite to that. I'd rather have a big money Betts deal than a big money Bauer deal. It's just not likely to happen.

    Covey is slightly better than Brice IMO. I think they nontender more than 4 guys.

    If they print money, where is Mookie?
  13. mvp 78
    Former Houston bench coach Alex Cora was suspended through the 2020 postseason solely for his role in the Astros’ electronic sign-stealing scandal.
  14. mvp 78
    Think he was just banned for the 2020 season, not for 12 months.
  15. mvp 78
    He wants to get paid. He won’t be worth the money but he’d be fun as hell to watch.
  16. mvp 78
    I think most people on here are going to bitch about the types of moves made this offseason. We should start mailing paper bags for people to breathe into.
  17. mvp 78
    You can’t sign him right now. He’s banned for the year.
  18. mvp 78
    I think they should keep Beni and hope he turns it around. His trade value is too low right now.
  19. mvp 78
    That’s all I’m saying. Pillar is a good comp IMO. JBJ at 5-6 AAV is a real bargain.
  20. mvp 78
    “But I asked what does HE think about it!!!”
  21. mvp 78
    “Ultimately I’m going to do what I feel is best for my family, and we’ll see how that plays out,” Bradley said. That's all we got to go on then?
  22. mvp 78
    Interesting. Maybe each clock cost $10k. That must be where all those operating losses come from!
  23. mvp 78
    Go read today's globe for the piece on him?
  24. mvp 78
    I think he'll be a very late signing. He'll be hoping for a big payday, but he's not going to be getting signed at the winter meetings for sure. I just don't believe the market is there for him.
  25. mvp 78
    And if the sox re-sign JBJ and add Brantley and Stroman, does that fix the issue of race? Of course not.
