    It's more about the "vibes" of him being the big dog rather than him actually being the big dog.

    The hitters that were drafted really didn't show much at all. Every guy had an OPS under 500! Neely, Clarke, Aita and Tygart got decent signing bonuses. If I had to hitch my cart to two of those 4 horses it would be Neely (closer) and Tygart (bulk innings guy like Crawford). We've already heard a lot about Cason and Tolle so not much of a need to mention those two.

    Boras isn't in a hurry because all he cares about is the total dollars involved. He'll drag this on until players start reporting.
  6. mvp 78
    We would have found something else to talk about if we had to. Trading Casas or Abreu still has a lot of mileage left.
  7. mvp 78
    Well, we don't want to trade for Arrenado's contract and we don't want to have to bid against other teams for Bregman or give him a long contract (the better player). What to do? What to do?

    5th rounder last year. Only one or two of them even went to affiliated teams last season so most of them haven't been scouted outside of the org. Will know more about the 2024 draftees after this Spring. This is what SP says: Fastball: 93-97 mph. Tops out at 99 mph. Command and control are a work in progress.

    CC peaked once he got to MIL and was away from the threat of facing BOS. Should have stayed in the NL.
  10. mvp 78
    He's Rule 5 eligible this offseason and probably destined for the pen. I wouldn't have any concerns moving on from him.
  11. mvp 78
    According to "sources" the Sox prefer Bregman to Arrenado, but are having trouble bidding against two other teams.
  12. mvp 78
    See, I like that Early is a little old school. That's why I've been a little higher on him from the time he was drafted. I think he can probably get to a 4th starter ceiling.
  13. mvp 78
    We've been there for almost 9 years already!
  14. mvp 78
    Nope. Definitely not.
  15. mvp 78
    And Zanetello could be in danger of Rule 5 a few years from now. Lugo took a long time to develop, Zerferjahn too.
  16. mvp 78
    They can't start if someone goes down.
  17. mvp 78
    We gave up Lugo, Kavadas and Zeferjahn because they were at risk of being taken in the Rule 5 draft. Same for Paulino.
  18. mvp 78
    Yates is older and can't start if there's an injury. All the others are multi-year deals.
  19. mvp 78
    Getting salary relief by getting rid of a prospect? I just don't think a team like the Red Sox should be doing nonsense like that. That's a worse option than just DFA'ing him.
  20. mvp 78
    Buying a prospect with Yoshida's salary? I'm just not sure what kind of prospect would come back. Maybe they could get a guy that is ready to pop like Sandlin? IDK.
  21. mvp 78
    To me, I think the Cards should give up Arenado for lesser prospects. If the Sox don't value Zanetello, it was a different REGIME that drafted him, fine. They know more about him than I do. I'm not really a believer in Zanetello or Bleis. I'm definitely not a believer in Jordan. I think there's a good chance that Bleis should be out of the top 20 by the end of the year. He may hang on like Allan Castro, but I believe guys actually have to produce on the field at some point.
  22. mvp 78
    That's fine. It's probably more reasonable to assume that a different team would want to take on a little salary while the Cards are trying to offload as much as possible. If they eat 50% of his salary, does Masa have a landing spot?
  23. mvp 78
    If we're giving older Bleis ANOTHER year to prove it, why not Zanetello? I'm not saying he has a ton of value or is a sure thing. I just believe the outside chance of hitting on him is greater than a guy like Blaze Jordan or the Sogard/Mullins trade I suggested yesterday.
  24. mvp 78
    Zanetello was drafted because he was supposedly a 5 tool guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Roman Anthony is a 2nd round comp pick. I guess he will not be making the MLB team. Somebody trade Payton Tolle already. He's toast!
  25. mvp 78
    It's quite the mess, but it's not Bloom's mess anymore IMO. Sox either need to DFA (unlikely at this point), trade for pennies on the dollar, trade Casas/Abreu or just use Masa as the 4th OFer clogging up the bench.
