    Puff puff give...

    The Braves wanted Moncada/Benintendi AND Espinoza in the deal for Teheran. No thank you...
  5. mvp 78
    Right this second? Not without adding other pieces. Also, it depends on what you think "more" means. Is Rich Hill "more?"
  6. mvp 78
    The question is what is the chance he'll become Pedro. If it's 50%, you keep Espinoza. If it's less than 25%, you probably move him without worrying.

    http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/07/marlins-sign-braxton-garrett.html Groome ended up being cheaper than a worse pitcher.
  8. mvp 78
    Yup.
  9. mvp 78
    It has been the same since the first 10.
  10. mvp 78
    We're lucky if our back end starters get through the lineup the second time without being lit up. I think Pomeranz has this kind of success against hitters because he really changes up his speeds, especially with his fastball.
  11. mvp 78
    Well, he took a dump of a Detroit organization and made them perennial contenders. He hasn't been given the keys to an organization like the Sox. We'll see what happens. I doubt he guts the organization though.
  12. mvp 78
    Most people "in the know" think he's done with pitching and may grab a bat. Not sure any of the top 3 would go in a trade for a bat.
  13. mvp 78
    If he dumps Moncada, Devers and Benintendi, we'll all be having a different conversation unless they get Trout and another top starter back.
  14. mvp 78
    Too many injuries. Buccholz pitched better out of the pen. I think they need to grab an additional arm.
  15. mvp 78
    There are definitely posters who don't care about prospects and only want to win now. I think the best organizations trade overrated talent to supplement their MLB teams and know which prospects to hold onto. I think Espinoza is a good talent. I think the Padres should trade whatever they can to for the chance to get a future ace. I think the Sox need to do whatever they can to keep the MLB roster stocked and the farm system ranked towards the top.
  16. mvp 78
    Yes. Is he an actual "MLB #2 rotation guy?" That's up for debate, but getting into that conversation is often very derivative and silly. In terms of performance and reliability, I see the rotation going forward as: Price Pomeranz Porcello Wright Dumpster Fire

    The remaining schedule is brutal for the Red Sox. Forty three of the remaining 75 games are on the road, with two West Coast trips plus a nasty four-city trip in mid-August that includes a one-game series in Cleveland and an early start in Detroit after a night game in Baltimore. The need to start the second half strong and not play down to their opponents.
  18. mvp 78
    If you spent less time trolling this forum, maybe people would listen to you for once?
  19. mvp 78
    He is pitching better than Porcello right now and I believe that Wright is going to start experiencing diminishing returns. He is our 2nd best starter right now.
  20. mvp 78
    He was a starter who was brought up as a 22 year old in Colorado and got hit around (no surprise there). He pitched well as a starter in Oakland in 2014 and was a fulltime reliever in 2015 because the A's didn't like that he had only 2 pitches. He's developed a third pitch this season and it has been great for him. He's basically a different pitcher. Price has zero track record of holding up in October. Most pitchers don't have that track record.
  21. mvp 78
    In my argument, it didn't matter if the players were acquired by FA or trading, it was just that they weren't generally hoarded prospects.
  22. mvp 78
    Boy does he ever!
  23. mvp 78
    They had a strong homestand before the break. I hope they keep up the good work.
  24. mvp 78
    Was Espinoza a high draft pick? Would you be opposed to trading a high draft pick like Trey Ball? Why haven't the Sox been able to create a decent pipeline of starters? Other competitive teams have regardless of their MLB standings.

    Don't you say that about my favorite web tribune! It's from God's fingertips to my screen!
