Smith and Kelly were already on the roster though. To me it just seems like one step forward and two back. If Pom became a lights out swingman, I'd be happy with it. I just don't know what the best thing to do with him due to his injury history. Would turning him into a swingman be harder on him as there would be more appearances? IDK. Wright was great in the rotation, but I'm still worried about him turning into a pumpkin. If he had any secondary pitches, I wouldn't be as concerned.

We're about 18 months into DD's tenure. A lot of his moves can't really be measured at the moment and we need to let things play out a little. If Pomeranz never stays healthy, that trade ends up being a blunder no matter how Espinoza turns out. I can't fault DD for the Kimbrel trade or Price signing as both moves were reasonable. The Sale trade seems like his best get yet by trading Kopech away when he was at his peak value for a real ace. They fixed Hanley by moving him to 1st, but still need to do something about Pablo. If he can get Pablo to stay healthy and contribute, it feels the biggest hole the Sox have right now. If he can't stay healthy, they need to get out from under that contract somehow. My real concern about the job he's done this offseason is that I wish he was more active in signing RP's. They are basically replacing Koji, Taz and Ziegler with Thornburg. That seems like a risky strategy to me.

The mistake is in using the mobile version of the site. Even on my phone, I use the full version.

I don't think it's ridiculous to talk about. Things that are ridiculous: DFA Sale, Price or Porcello. Trade Betts. Beni should start the season in AAA. Kimbrel should become a starter.
-
Wright is the 6th starter, imo. I'm not the biggest ERod fan, but I'd rather have him be a starter than Wright. My guess is that one of the starters will be injured in April/May and Wright will get a ton of opportunities to get into the rotation.

Ross is better than Barnes, Abad, Hembree and Elias..
-
Beane and Sabean for me.

I really can't gauge Hernandez after 9 PAs.
-
I'm going to give CV a longer rope due to his injury, but his defense was mediocre last year. There was no noticeable drop off when Leon played. Not sure his glove is worth the noodle bat.

pocket change for JH.
-
Hanley has shown that he can play 1b, so he could probably be moved in a trade to help reduce that tax burden. It seems that they just never really considered EE this offseason.
-
Well, he could get injured by having a baby sleep on him again... Might as well sell him before he's out for the year.
-
Yup, I think it's obvious at this point that he had more value to the Sox than to other organizations.
-
Apparently in the same world you're living in. I don't think the Phillies were the only organization that the Sox discussed Clay with. This was probably the best deal they could get without eating money.
-
Thank you for your apology.
-
Yeah, I only want him back in LF if he never improves behind the plate.
-
But shouldn't we be clutching our pearls because of all the missing prospects?
-
I don't root for FO personnel so I couldn't care less about that argument.
-
That's all I was ever saying.
-
DD said he's almost untouchable.
-
Yuck. Hard pass.
-
No one cares about BDC.

I feel like all the Christmas in my heart just blew up like a hydrogen bomb. Too bad no one took me up on my sig bet.

The Wally Wave will be replaced with the Sale Shake.
