    It was supposedly a very deep draft with a lot talent, but the issues of signability will make it harder to evaluate it right away. The MLB draft is just a lot more complicated than the other drafts. Should it be? I'm just glad they didn't overstock on arms again. We'll see how the Sox do at developing these guys going forward.

    I think you'll find that I'm being realistic.

    I'm taking the GRE numbers with a huge grain of salt because that league's offense is greatly inflated this year the combination of bad pitching and tiny ballparks. Heyman and White combined for 12 HR against GBO and ASH, the two worst pitching staffs for HR in that league. It's the same for guys like Yophery who has 7 of his 12 HR against ASH and GBO as well. Sox must be high on Heyman as they have him hit 3rd when he starts.

    I'd take Alonso as a DH. It would depend on what they are giving up, but you'd get him to sit on the bench and hit dingers. I just don't want them to buy expensive rentals.

    The system is still very top heavy. After the top 10 guys, there really isn't much left to talk about.
  6. mvp 78
    They have a good stretch at home to reverse the nonsensical way they've played at Fenway so far. Then they can go out west and have a strong showing and maybe make a real case. Right now, they are still 2 games below .500. That's a huge point to me.

    Maybe Oviedo can come back as reliever? Maybe? I agree on not wanting to trade Eyanson or Arias. It's not that they are untouchable, but I don't think they are going to swing a trade where it's worth their while to move them. They could probably trade anyone outside the top 10 and it wouldn't be the end of the world considering where the farm system is. Though I do like Rivas a lot and Winnay has really been swinging it.

    Yes, it wasn't all on Devers the way some people make it out to be. There's enough ways to spread the blame out among Devers, Cora, Breslow and JH. If the only negatives that people can find were "he wore headphones in the locker room and he was hesitant to play a new position in the middle of the season" it says a lot about how much of a "diva" he truly was.

    You'd be buying if they go 5-4 against the 4th and 5th teams in the AL East when playing at Home? I guess it's better than losing, but it's not something I'm pounding my chest over. They still have a west coast trip vs A's and Dodgers right after.

    Paez and Romero wouldn't get drafted in Rule 5 anyway. No reason to worry about needing to trade them.
  11. mvp 78
    Sox system is notably weaker than it has been. Being a top 20 guy doesn't mean much.
  12. mvp 78
    I don't think those names fetch anything interesting TBH.
  13. mvp 78
    SF wants to extend Arraez. Crochet and Anthony don't have a timetable for a return. Don't really know about Early. With the added innings, are you not concerned about future injuries to Tolle or Bennett? Duran, Mayer and Bello all saw their stock plummet. They wouldn't fetch much at this point. Trout's contract would be a nightmare. The reason you sign a long term guy like Trout is for the first few seasons, not to get him for the back half of the contract.
  14. mvp 78
    Sure, they could make a huge mistake and start buying players.
  15. mvp 78
    The problem is that the Sox have always valued Duran higher than people outside the organization. A deal was never going to get done unless the Sox were willing to take a perceived loss on the trade.

    Y'all can just make a game thread. It wasn't a big deal before? If a game is about to start and one isn't made, just create one.

    I never settle for second best.

    His non-moves have to outweigh his hits if the team is well below .500. Otherwise, why is the team below .500???
  22. mvp 78
    It wasn't a good trade though! I'm sure I could have made it work!
  23. mvp 78
    If he hit more than he missed, the team wouldn't be below .500.
  24. mvp 78
    Breslow built a team that is 30th in HR and 29th in R. They are 17-27 at Fenway. Even if he traded for some good players, he is incompetent. The overall results have to matter.
  25. mvp 78
    If you need all those dudes and Seigler comes down to earth, just have Sogard DH instead of Masa. There is no drop off between the two anymore.
