    Adley will be here another 4 years after this? If they win a WS this year or next, you won't need extra time.

    It has less to do with what they turn out to be and more to do with what their value is as trade chips. They could have been used in other/better/more productive trades.

    You'd have him start above Contreras and Durbin???
  4. mvp 78
    Wow.
  5. mvp 78
    There is a long list of bench players that became superstars?

    Nobody in their right mind believes Jarren Duran is going to repeat his 2024 season. I would have been right to trade for Duran PLUS for Paredes. 2026 has proven that. 🤷‍♂️

    I don't think pedal to the metal works in April, but you can't dig yourself the hole that the Sox dug themselves in. The reason the Sox are having to rest their stars now is because they are overworked from having to climb back in. They had to treat every July game like it was the playoffs rather than the regular season. They aren't as bad as they were in April and May, but they aren't as good as they were in July either. The question is what is this team going forward?
  8. mvp 78
    Sox had enough assets to deal Duran PLUS to get a Paredes deal done. They just overstated how much Duran was worth. That was a big swing and a miss IMO.

    Drohan was a Rule 5 draft pick 2 seasons ago. I wasn't going to let his performance that year impact how I saw him going forward, especially when he had less than 10 innings pitched in the White Sox org and was coming off an injury. He showed enough in '25 that he was a legit depth piece (AAA: 11 GS, 47.2 IP, 2.27 ERA). Crawford was 12th percentile barrel % and 7th percentile GB % in '24. That's not going to cut it in Fenway long term. Will be happy if he never pitches for the Sox again.

    The rotation regressing is one thing. Believing that Gasper, Sogard, et al will carry the Sox to the WS is foolish. They are bench pieces. If they are starting games, it's a problem.
  11. mvp 78
    I would have expected more from Drohan TBH. Crawford had a lingering injury that kept him out all of last year after a season where he lead the league in HR allowed. The silence surrounding Kutter's return and place on the roster was deafening. I don't think Bres believes in his stuff at all.
  12. mvp 78
    They could also use Drohan. Astros were looking to dump Paredes.
  13. mvp 78
    Oviedo hasn't been the picture of health in his career. Crawford hasn't seen the mound in two years at this point. He may never pitch again for the Sox. Why expect anything from him?
  14. mvp 78
    Was someone expecting Houck to be a contributor after having late season TJS last year?
  15. mvp 78
    Paps lead the pitching staff with 1 fWAR from 9/1 on. Albers 10 IP 7.20 ERA Weiland 14.2 IP 7.36 ERA (GS 3) Lackey 23.2 IP 9.13 ERA (GS 5) Bard 11 IP 10.64 ERA Miller 10 IP 11.70 ERA (GS 2)
  16. mvp 78
    In a short series, I like our chances if the starters are Gray, Tolle and Bennett. Suarez is really going through it right now. Sandoval will not be in the rotation. No bullpen games or Paez.
  17. mvp 78
    If there is a lockout on Dec 1, there is no Rule 5 Draft.
  18. mvp 78
    To me, it's less about future years and more about using those assets towards other trades that could have been more productive for the Sox.
  19. mvp 78
    This would be a shocking development.
  20. mvp 78
    Are they the ones pitching?
  21. mvp 78
    IDK. I think he'd be a really bad 2b. Not sure the MIF situation would be great defensively if he was there. He's more of a future DH IMO. I'd project for 27 that Roman would play more OF and Mead more DH.
  22. mvp 78
    IMO, bref really overstates defense in their calculation of WAR. Connor Wong 2023: 2.2 bWAR, 0.3 fWAR
  23. mvp 78
    Injuries have steamrolled on him since the start of last season. His mediocre play has been since the start of 24.

    Turning into? Has been! Has-been?
