If Price and ERod didn't have injury concerns, I'd be all in. I don't think they thought Price was going to out for half the season. Also, whenever a Chris Sale is on the market, you trade for him no matter what.
-
Yes, I want Devers promoted now. If they want to bring someone else in for a few months, they should find a cheap rental, not someone who would cost Sam Travis. Travis could be our starting 1B for years to come. I don't see a reason to move him for a rental. I don't believe this team is good enough to win a WS this year, so there's no reason for me to move big time prospects.
-
Sam Travis for 3 months of Moustakas? Nah. I'm good. If they really want him, they should just wait until the offseason and grab him in FA.
-
That's not the message at all. The message is that they value Devers' growth more than Marerro or Lin. That they feel they want to hold onto Devers until he is completely ready. For Marerro and Lin, they are just seen as fungible assets that you can throw where ever and use up until they are done.
-
KC is only 2.5 games back. They are completely in contention and Duffy will be back around the AS Game. It'd be dumb for them to give up on the season already.
-
JH opposed the CC signing but still signed off on it. Maybe he should fire himself? The bad contracts on the team now are due to Ben and he was pushed out. Seems like he already figured out that mistakes can affect employment?
-
It's smart business. I don't have a problem with it. I think they can afford all the B's in the next few years if they want to and that a "cliff" does not exist.
-
The budget isn't limitless, but it's big enough that we shouldn't be clutching at our pearls worrying about a cliff.

2017 MLB Draft Thread
mvp 78 replied to Jack Flap's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
http://news.soxprospects.com/2017/06/minor-notes-draft-signings-continue-to.html Sox have signed all top 10 picks except for Jake Thompson who has been busy playing in College WS. -
And Lin is starting at 3B tonight. Organization sees him as a super sub with plus defense at most positions (2, 3B, SS, OF).
-
I think the FO knows that he'd be better right now than their current options, but wants him to be fully developed before he gets to the show (i.e. better defense, less reliant on waiting for fastballs, etc.).
-
@alexspeier The Red Sox are moving Henry Owens to Double A. 48 walks in his last 47 1/3 innings, including 8 BBs in 2 of last 3 starts.
-
No, I'm just stating my opinion that that's what I'd do.
-
@EvanDrellich Henry Owens is going to Double-A Portland. He’s been with Triple-A Pawtucket and is still walking a lot of hitters.
-
@JonHeyman The red sox will sign top venezuelan catching prospect daniel flores, 16, when international signing period begins. @redsoxstats Getting $3.3M of the Red Sox $4.8M bonus pool.
-
https://www.boston.com/sports/boston-red-sox/2014/11/26/should-the-red-sox-be-afraid-of-hanley-being-hanley I'd take this with a grain of salt though.
-
Now this is a strawman argument. No one on here believes they know more about a player than the Sox FO.
-
Nope. IT WAS JUST THE TAIL WAGGING THE DOG.
-
Don't give them any ideas pleez.
-
Yup.
-
And he was fairly decent until he got that Yankees stink on him.

Not when considering Bogey's defensive history at 3B.
-
And Xander DH's?
-
And moving Xander to 3B will ruin the left side of infield since he is an absolutely lousy 3B. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=12161&position=SS#fieldingadvanced If you think he's bad at SS, just look at the 3B numbers.
