    Mazza vs Ryu I'll be the sacrificial poster for this game thread.
  2. mvp 78
    If nobody has signed him yet, there's probably a good reason he's not here.
  3. mvp 78
    He deserves to be on a competitive team at the end of his career. Why waste it in BOS?
  4. mvp 78
    That was almost 10 years ago at this point.

    @ChrisCotillo Red Sox moves: * Outrighted LHP Stephen Gonsalves to the Alternate Training Site * Released RHP R.J. Alvarez * Outrighted RHP Mike Shawaryn and removed him from the Club Player Pool. So Gonsalves and Shawaryn cleared waivers. Gonsalves goes back to Pawtucket, Shawaryn stays in the organization but goes home. Alvarez is released.

    Where's bloomwantstheseplayers.com?

    But they took Price's contract off our hands!!!! Henry can't pay that kind of money!!!!!

    I just got sad looking at a Blue Jays message board that had 350 posts for last night's game. They don't know today's starter either.
  9. mvp 78
    Who are you to disagree with baseballtradevalues.com??? What gives you the right?!?!?
  10. mvp 78
    Or or or: Barnes/Beni/Vaz/Moreland for Campusano/Meyers/20M
  11. mvp 78
    The rumor was Vaz for Campusano, but that's an overpay for Vaz. Padres wouldn't do it. Sox would need to add players to get Campusano.
  12. mvp 78
    Or Vaz for Myers/Campusano/Quantrill Or or Vaz/Chavis for Myers (1/2 salary)/Campusano
  13. mvp 78
    Vaz and Chavis for Campusano and Quantrill

    Swihart was much more highly regarded than Wong. I don't think people are expecting anything more than a UTIL guy out of him. In terms of converting catchers, don't go looking for video of Carlton Fisk playing LF in 1986 ( ). Also of note, today is the day that I learned Hawk Harrelson traded 23 year old Bobby Bonilla for Jose DeLeon. LOL

    Your loss.

    It's the only thing keeping those tv contracts at such a high $$$ amount.

    That's Tampa's own death metal band Obituary! It's the first track off their album Cause of Death, which is a classic for the genre. Tampa has a long history of strong metal and punk scenes (acts like Death, Iced Earth, Six Feet Under, Deicide, Atheist and Acheron). If you didn't like that one, I won't post my favorite Tampa band.

    https://www.fangraphs.com/players/michael-chavis/17321/heat-maps?position=PH/PR&ss=&se=&hand=&count=&pitch=&season=&view=&data=&grid=&blur=&type=3 He can't handle anything up or away. He's actually WORSE at handling high pitches this year than last. Now compare to 2015 Travis Shaw: https://www.fangraphs.com/players/travis-shaw/11982/heat-maps?position=&ss=&se=&hand=&count=&pitch=&season=2015&view=&data=&grid=&blur=&type=3

    Do you think Chavis is likely to replicate Shaw's 2017-2018 seasons? I would tend to think it's highly unlikely due to the discrepancies in K rate. I do wonder what happens to Chavis this season once his BABIP gets lower than 387. He seems to be making great contact when he does so, but that BB/K is something else. Also, all these discussions ignore that Shaw provided above average defense while Chavis continues his negative dWAR.

    Here's a Bloom quote from this week: “To say that someone is truly untouchable, you’re probably lying to yourself and lying to a player, if you say that. There could be situations where there might be exceptions to that. But I think we have to be realistic that in theory there could always be something that could happen with anybody. But I don’t think that’s indicative of any big news or anything like that. We’re not doing our jobs if we’re not willing to be opened to opportunities.” It doesn't sound like he's actively "shopping" anyone. His position is that everyone should be "available" for the right trade. However, it's not reasonable to suggest that every player is "available" in the traditional sense that he's actively looking to shop said players. I agree that nobody should ever be "unavailable." Couldn't the Angels get a return for Trout that would make sense for them to move him? If the Yankees were given an amazing offer for Judge, shouldn't they move him? The same could be said for Raffy, Devers or whoever else.

    I will always have a soft spot for some Tampa things.
  22. mvp 78
    I just don't put much faith in the "talk" no matter the quantity of it. This time of year, everything is just conjecture but we're told what is "really" happening behind the scenes. I don't believe it. Like Kimmi said, Bloom said that he'd be stupid not to listen to offers on everyone, but he's not actively shopping the entire roster as some would leave you to believe. I wholeheartedly believe Henry does not want to field a AAAA roster on 4/1/21. He probably wants a younger team that can "compete" (i.e. 86ish wins) in the sort term, but is set up to be the top of the league for the longer term.

    Also, when I get my sports journalism, I don't typically go to NYC radio guys.
  24. mvp 78
    I think it's better to have the worst record rather than the third worst.
  25. mvp 78
    When he threw 98mph for a k, it made me pay a little more attention. I think his upside is worth sticking around over some of the other guys in the pen. Aside from Brewer and Valdez, there hasn't been much of worth to note.
