He's definitely ahead of Yorke. Bleis isn't a top 100 prospect after his lost season due to injury. He had a longer stretch of MiLB offensive production than Rafaela, but doesn't have the 80 defense. Teel was a 1st round talent who hasn't slowed down since joining the Sox. If he's ahead of Teel, it's only because of sample size. I'd put him 4th just barely ahead of Rafaela. I think his bat will play at the MLB level and that he'll be ok at 2B. Rafaela will play a GG CF, but I have loads of questions about his hit tool.

Like I've said before, Felger & Mazz version of Mazz is the bad version. When you get him away from that gimmick, he is a decent baseball guy.

The Interest Kings!

Probably 3rd or 4th.

I think Breslow has been shown to be more of a wheeler dealer than Bloom. I think if the Sox aren't in contention at the deadline, a lot of guys including Pivetta and Giolito will be on the block.
-
We're just leaning on Bailey to fix whatever is going wrong with current day Giolito. Maybe it works? When Giolito is bad, he's Pivetta. When he's good, he's much better for sure.
-
You got mad when he said that they were out on Yamamoto and wouldn't spend on the Monty/Snell tier either. Now all the reports are saying that's the case.
-
Skill issue. Yamamoto. -
Sox have no problem letting leaks that seem to favor them get out. Funny that the leaks that don't favor them mysteriously stay hidden.
-
It's not treason, Henry has just shown that he's not willing to pay players and field a competitive team since 2020. Why give ownership the benefit of the doubt here? Mookie went out and got his 300M FMV elsewhere.
-
One left.
-
Dalbec is 5.5 years older than Grissom. Grissom may not work out, but he needs to be given a longer rope than he was given in ATL. Good thing in BOS only Pablo Reyes and Enmanuel Valdez play the same position as him. The knock on Grissom's bat was that he hasn't shown in game power yet. His contact skills are good, but chases out of the zone a little too much.
-
It's a short term deal for a guy that is a near guarantee to give innings. The bullpen fell apart last season because of overuse. Having a guy like Giolito instead of Sale helps in that respect. There's a little more certainty going forward. I'd like to see Crawford and Pivetta stick in the rotation too. Acquisition Bello Giolito Crawford Pivetta

Secret budget? How much did you guys drink this holiday season?
-
None of us know what their budget it. Many of us projected a big splurge last offseason. Nada. Then they were going go up to the 2nd line this offseason. Now it looks like payroll may be lower than '23? Until pitchers and catchers report, I'm not sure we have a good handle on what the budget is. Anything else is us just projecting our personal biases onto the budget and where it is currently at. If ownership continues on the next few years with a Colorado Rockies budget, but LA Dodgers ticket prices, I think they will be doing a great long term disservice to the fanbase. Red Sox fans have long memories.
-
But who are you to judge posts like "Craig Breslow has been hitting singles and doubles all free agency and has not missed: He hasn't hit the big home run like signing Yamamoto but has hit on every move. We added some relief depth. Traded Verdugo for prospect and added O'Neil to replace him. Now the Lucas Giolito and Vaughn Grissom we are doing good. Just because we haven't hit a home run yet doesn't mean we have failed this offseason. Breslow is doing big things and getting the wheels moving." Crag "Punch and Judy" Breslow

Oh no! Say it ain't so Joe! Is that what the 1919 Black Sox scandal was really about? Not answering reporters' questions in the right manner? Mookie should have been paid. Henry should be flayed.

7 on the MLB list (behind Strider, Harris, Waters, Muller, Elder and Shoemake). At the time of his callup in August of '22, he was probably their best prospect. He was named their MiLB Player of the Year in '22.

As a fan, if I'm choosing between billionaire owners that treat teams another investment in their portfolio or players that treat this game as their livelihood, I'll err on the side of the players 100% of the time.

I read through his comments and didn't see any other prognostications. The Snell post is his only post. All his comments are under other posts and don't offer anything new. IDK.
-
@PatSullivan05 Red Sox have signed RP Max Castillo Slider Stuff+ 101 Changeup Stuff+ 100 Location + 101 ~ Has a nice changeup, 16° Gyro Degree, 1585 RPM, 14.4 HB”. ~ Changeup also sits at 87 MPH Yay.
-
I went through the redditor's posting history and the Snell rumor is the only inside info he's ever claimed to have. His account is less than a month old. Fake AF.
-
IDK, smells Rotten.com to me.
-
Not sure anyone was going to pay Sale's full salary and give back anything worthwhile. We all know his limitations health wise.
