  7. Edgar is never getting into the HOF, you should temper your expectations.
  8. You could use the same argument for signing Ubaldo Jimenez. edit - Garza is injured
  9. Apparently we have to consider his ceiling from *checks post* five years ago.
  10. It doesn't seem like there is any reason to think a deal is going to go down today or tomorrow so it's weird to see people post stuff like "Man ....I can't even believe it ! Get off work and head home convinced there would be something .....anything ...... Nothing ? I'm not mad now I'm not disappointed ..I'm genuinely concerned now." There's been no indication that JD is close to signing. I think we're all stuck in a holding pattern for a while. Getting worked up everyday that it's finally going to be the day something will happen seems like wasted energy to me.
  11. https://www.overthemonster.com/2018/1/31/16952980/red-sox-bullpen-depth-chart-ty-buttrey Anyone think Ty Buttrey can make an impact this year? I just don't think he'll ever be able to locate his pitches. Good "stuff" but the consistency is lacking.
  12. It is a pretty typical clause. Especially for guys who are used to being paid as top of the rotation starters. To think he's just going to sit in AAA all year is kinda laughable tbh. He's 33. He has a lengthy injury history, a slight frame and an uneven track record when healthy. If you think he's even remotely similar to Alex Cobb, I really don't know what to say. Cobb has been a 2 WAR pitcher every year that he's appeared in 10+ games. The majority of Buchholz's seasons have been worth less than 1 WAR.
  13. Out of all the Sox players who got into 50+ games, he had the highest OPS. He is their core.
  14. I too enjoy watching crappy offenses.
  15. There's nothing going on. Not sure why people are thinking a signing is imminent.
  16. He sucks. They can do better. Why waste a roster spot in AAA?
  17. When ML guys sign minor league deals, there is typically language that they will be brought up by a certain date or released. I wouldn't want the Sox to feel compelled to call up a broken down and fragile 33 year old over a younger pitcher with more upside.
  18. We don't even know if Buch will be healthy for ST. I don't see why the Sox would bring him in.
  19. He's still pre-arb and hit 30 hrs. He's perfect for the Brewers due to his low salary. I bet you'd have to overpay in a trade to get him. Terrible fielder that would most likely only be a DH in the AL.
  20. 30 year old Jose Offerman's career high WAR of 4.6 should totally offset the loss of Mo Vaughn!
  21. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/29/sports/baseball/cleveland-Guardians-chief-wahoo-logo.html
  22. They can't strike this year per the contract. I don't think anything can happen until 2020 or 2021.
  23. Hanley sucked against LHP last year tho?
  24. Multiple players will have to get screwed for him to get taken down a peg this offseason. I think this is more of a test for Tony Clark's legitimacy.
