  1. I know some people want to put the Coke bottles back up, but what if we just put up a giant checkbook and a ledger sheet?
  2. The problem is that everyone is trying the same thing. It's not as easy to grab those guys. I feel like the game has passed Henry by.
  3. Ryan Pepiot CY incoming! Deluca will fit in well with all those other annoying Rays generic players that beat the crap out of the Sox.
  4. Wow, seems like you're already making excuses for BreSLOW! The BreSLOW Brigadier has logged on!!!
  5. 2024 Soylent Red Sox
  6. Beta male behavior.
  7. Yesterday AM:
  8. Yes, he went back to it and nailed it. However, I think he still won't be the main communicator to the players. He has other stuff to do.
  9. We'll see if they make a couple because of Ying and Yang. Werner: wants the stars for his live action baseball tv show on NESN Henry: wants to show everyone how smart he is by getting undervalued guys and succeeding
  10. And with the Dodgers being in a different time zone, a lot of their games won't conflict with Sox games.
  11. Which way FO? Bob Dylan's Desire Side A (Hurricane) Bob Dylan's Desire Side B (Joey)
  12. His first presentation for the Cubs was so detailed that it went over executives heads. My guess is he'll not be providing the communications directly to the players. I'm sure Bailey is up for it.
  13. Good thing that Henry is famously patient with his CBOs.
  14. O'Neill will hit at least as many HR's as Verdugo hit last year (9). Maybe Story can make up for some of the offensive output as well? Then you need to get another 25 HR's out of Abreu/Duran/Rafaela getting more AB's. I guess there's a chance they can do it in house. If they traded for Polanco, that would definitely get them closer.
  15. Monty is a good pitcher, but they may not value him enough to pull the trigger on a 7/8 year deal. Yesterday, I wondered if they go a tier below and grab guys on shorter deals. I still feel the same today.
  16. I think Yamamoto going to the Dodgers is better than if he went to the Yanks or Mets. One, Henry can't bitch about Cohen like last year. Two, he won't be in the AL East.
  17. I agree. It's time for them to drink from the firehose and fill out their rotation.
  18. Maybe, but it would be hilarious for the Yankees to sign him to that just a short time after dumping him thinking he wasn't good enough for their playoff roster.
  19. Red Sox and Mets have already said they are out on those two. With less bidders, the price may not be as high as those players would expect. Especially since Yamamoto took less AAV than we thought he would.
  20. Logan Allen, the 2020 Draft pick in the 2nd round that the Sox played against last year you friggin goofball.
  21. Not sure what you have against young Guardian pitchers like Logan Allen and Tanner Bibee that Bloom also passed on. The Sox have a lot of mediocre pitching prospects. None of them have a ceiling higher than 4th in a rotation. Even Perales and Wikelman are likely bullpen guys. Which guys are you high on that you believe will impact the Sox rotation someday? The only guys that are interesting to me are Monegro and Early, but I don't think they are TOTR guys. I'm not sure they even have one in the system, including Bello.
  22. 23 - Top 3 were SS 22 - Top 2 were SS 21 - Bleis only guy over 1M 20 - nothing! 19 - Liu was 2nd at 750k 18 - All OF flops 17 - Flores and SS 16 - LOL 15 - Nothing of note 14 - Anderson Espinosa 1.8M, Christopher Acosta 1.5M (SoxProspects Pod fave) 13 - Hinojosa 4M ... 08 - Tazawa 1.8M 06 - DiceK 2M They just haven't really spent big money (1M+) on IFA guys. They've certainly struck out on lots of hitters they've shelled out to in the IFA market so it's not a fear of getting burned.
  23. Bailey was key in turning around Gausman's career in SF. There could be some quick fixes in the org.
  24. If he thought he could trade for pitching, he never did so. The act of trading ANY PLAYER results in a failure far more often than not since it's a lottery ticket. Hitters flame out. Pitchers flame out. Red Sox have just chosen to punt on drafting pitchers at the top of the draft in recent years. Whether it's truly a mistake is born out in what the rotation looks like in BOS each year. So far, it's been ugly.
  25. Those guys are younger when they sign and reach the Rule 5 issues we've seen with Mata/Wikelman/Perales that you don't get as bad from drafted players. It's not a safe bet.
