    As I mentioned previously, BA believes that the MiLB ball (used at levels AA and below) is running extra hot this year. The HR rate is way above current trends. In the Eastern League, the #1 team had 130 HR's last year, all but one team has 130 HR's so far this season. Somerset has 185. Portland went from 95 to 179! It's similar in the South Atlantic Leage too. Greenville went from 83 to 195!!!

    My guess is that they believe (as most of us did as well) that Roman is almost as good and is great at getting on base (almost .400 last year). If your 1a/1b hitter has a very high OBP, just slide him in at leadoff and let the guys behind him drive him in.

    Except that the 50% calc is a joke. It's never Revenue/2. It's (Revenue-Nonsense)/2. And why should owners get a full 50% anyway???

    Kids need to be good enough to force pathway open. Arias seems to be doing that. Campbell is not, whether you want to blame Driveline or sinkers or something else.

    The teams behind the Sox have been .500 for most of the year. None of them have come close to making any sort of run and don't seem to want to.

    It's less about having your leadoff guy "crank homeruns" and more about having your best hitter up to bat as much as possible.

    His last two outings in relief: 7.1 IP, 8 ER, 12 H, 3 BB, 2 K, 2 HBP

    The NBA deal is a bit better, but the leagues are not comparable due to the amount of players. Also, the NBA cap is nonsense.

    The problem with the Pomeranz trade was that it was an overpay for a pitcher that was clearly going to regress immediately. Espinoza still had a lot of value and could have brought in a better player IMO. It's not that you can't trade those guys, just use them in good trades. Don't dump him for a guy who just learned a cutter and is running high on it and the book hasn't gotten around on him yet.

    KC and PITT could be more competitive, the owners choose not to spend.
  13. mvp 78
    Yeah, the NFL model doesn't work for players and only works for owners. No way should the players go for it. Would be the biggest blunder ever.

    I care about the Red Sox, not the Reds.

    I would just say that once Eyanson was traded away and Tolle was added to the BOS roster, the rest of the pitchers drafted in Breslow's era haven't really done anything exciting. Maybe Dylan Brown, but he's not at the level of those kind of guys.

    If Adley performs well or Sox win WS, I don’t care what the prospects do in BAL.
  17. mvp 78
    The NFL model would be worse for the Sox. We should be advocating for no cap since the Sox are a rich team.
  18. mvp 78
    Hey, I wasn’t the one who rushed Adley back from injury, that was a Sox decision.
  19. mvp 78
    Sorry about missing this. It’s XCountry season for my oldest which means lots of travel and softball season for my youngest which means lots of nights coaching.

    The Polar Bear has been ice cold against Ranger so far.

    In my head, I'm swapping Valera with Delzine and Valera is now taking the Luis Perales role (oft injured phenom who will run out of time).

    It's interesting because I was higher on Early than most people when he was a prospect. When he got to the bigs and everyone thought he was a top of the rotation guy, I just didn't see it that way. To me, he is a 4th starter. The Sox haven't been able to develop impact bats. Mead was an impact bat the first half of this season. They have control over him for several years. I'm fine with the trade.

    He needs to today. Baz has a history of dominating the Sox (7 GS, 522 OPS). Aside from the O's, who he now pitches for, we are his favorite opponent. That doesn't mean the Sox should consider trading for him! Put him against the Yankees and Baz shrinks (8 GS, 943 OPS, 12 HR).

    Running out of time for big roster decisions like that IMO. At some point, you just have to set the roster.
