    @alexspeier Groome, Dalbec, Shawaryn all under agreement for Sox. The team still has a little $ left for possible deals w/players taken later in draft.

    GTFO Buchholz!

    My health insuramce would be way cheaper if it wasn't for fatties.

    Right, blame the players, but the pitching coach should be able to fix some correctable issues rather tgan sit back and watch the staff turn to dog s***.

    Glad he signed.

    Do we consider Pomeranz a 2?
  9. mvp 78
    I hope so. As long as Pomeranz pitches well, I won't complain.
  10. mvp 78
    Not with his trades he isn't... He's made some really s***** deals. More often than not, his trades are head scratchers.
  11. mvp 78
    He does have great relations with reporters though.

    Also, it's nice to hear that Devers is doing well. I haven't really heard much about him lately.

    Benintendi and Moncada are definitely 1a and 1b. I think a case could be made for either. Benintendi may be a little more polished, but Moncada is an athletic freak.

    She was spawned from the devil, most likely.

    For me, I try not to get excited about the really really young guys as they tend to flame out more often than the ones already in Portland. Kopech may throw hard, but a lot of scouts see him as a reliever.

    That's what I was waiting for! Great news.

    That post received more responses the 24 hours after it was moved than it did before it was moved.

    OP was specifically talking about the umpiring affecting recent Sox regular season games which is why it is ok to be in the Sox forum. If OP mentioned a Cubs game having poor umpiring, it would have been moved. The All Star game involves Sox players, but has very little to do with this Red Sox season.

    If Gray was pitching like an ace, I'd want them to grab him ASAP. Unfortunately, he's pitching like a bottom of the rotation starter. Right now, he makes David Price's current season look like 2000 Pedro.
  20. mvp 78
    He hasn't really pitched that well. He has an FIP of 4.50 and a 0.8 WAR. His fastball is getting wrecked and his offspeed pitches aren't making up for it this time (see 2014). Until he gets his slider back, he's suspect. The haul that it would take to get him here is just not worth it. You'd have to send One of the top 4 guys, plus 2 - 3 other guys at a minimum.
  21. mvp 78
    I know. I'm just worried it will not last. If it does, I'll admit my error.
  22. mvp 78
    The NFL has the weakest union in professional sports. They signed a s***** contract, they need to live by it.
  23. mvp 78
    They should trade redundancy, but I think they need to decide long term what to do there. If Moncada is the answer, he needs extensive reps this offseason. Will he be ready for 3b opening day? Maybe not. Midseason call up for 2017? In the meantime, they need to decide if they want to keep Hanley or Shaw. Hanley doesn't have the stick for DH. They will probably need to eat some of his contract and move him to the NL. If they keep Shaw, they'll need a platoon for him (i.e. someone not currently on the roster). Could Sam Travis be a 1b/DH with Travis Shaw? Are they going to bring in an expensive bat like Encarnacion this offseason? I honestly don't think they will. I think they either look to keep Aaron Hill or bring in Brandon Moss rather than grab an Encarnacion.

    At some point, the coaching staff needs to know how to fix struggling pitchers. They have no clue how to harness Buchholz or Kelly. It also doesn't help that the guy who leads the team in appearances is a 40 year old reliever with health concerns.
  25. mvp 78
    Ramirez doesn't have any power left. He's no longer a 5th hitter. The Sox should move him in the offseason. Shaw can't hit lefties. Sandoval isn't physically fit enough to play MLB. Moncada still hasn't played 1 inning of 3b. Hernandez is not an MLB starter. Travis will lose this whole season to injury and wasn't tearing it up beforehand. Holt can't be relied on to be a starter. Rutledge is a AAAA player who is an ok backup at best. Marrero is all glove and no bat which isn't a very good fit for 3b at the moment.
