He's been around long enough to have been selected in the MiLB portion of the Rule 5 draft and nobody wanted him. He's almost post prospect stage. He's always injured. If he doesn't have a tremendous season this year, you can stick a fork in him.
-
If only he could recreate the 185 wRC+ from '22! That's the top of the order bat this lineup needs. Probably means they could move on from Anthony. They have control over him for 6 years.

Barnes/Workman/ERod 13-14 Buch/Masterson/Bard 08-09 Paplebon/Lester/Delcarmen 05-06 The Sox really haven't been able to push through much high level pitching talent at all. The best time for their system was 04-09 as it had a good balance of hitting and pitching. Players were also graduating each year at a relatively high level. After that, you had the AGon trade, Lars Andersen crashing, Westmoreland, Dodgers trade prospects that didn't pan out, Henry Owens flame out and Ben's bad drafting.

@ChrisCotillo Official from Netflix. This is something that Sam Kennedy has been interested in for a long time after the success of other projects like Drive to Survive, Full Swing, etc. A little like Baseball Hard Knocks but not in real time... all coming out long after the season is over. Get this f***er out of here!!!!!!!!!!

Offensively, no. Defensively, yes.
-
Castillo and Weiss were claimed off waivers today.
-
Oh?

It's fine. We still have the 2nd rounder from that year. https://www.milb.com/player/nick-decker-678006

DD left in '19, Crawford and Bello didn't have value to BOS until 3 years later. Hard to fault Bloom for not being able to draft or sign players prior to '19. Ben Cherington was bad at drafting and got the team to lose IFA signings. It was a large part of the reason the Sox went into a funk after 2018. Depending on how this current group of prospects turn out, Bloom may end up with a better legacy even without a ring.

@mlbtraderumors Marlins Designate Kaleb Ort For Assignment

Maybe DD shouldn't have left the cupboard bare then?
-
Murphy and Walter were ineligible to be traded by DD as they were drafted the year he was fired. Crawford barely reached AA before DD was gone and was a middling prospect at the time. Houck was an afterthought going into 2020 and had already be pushed into a bullpen role. In 2019, Bello had a 5.43 ERA in Low A and was ranked outside the team's top 20 for most of the year. It's not like DD was looking at these guys and thinking "boy, these are the pitchers I need to hold onto." The most interesting pitchers when DD was fired were Mata, Groome and Song.
-
I agree. Most likely, Perales or Gonzalez winds up in the pen and has decent value there. I'm not sure either of them will ever be as good as Bello is since their bb rates are way too high. We'll see if they can get something figured out this year, otherwise I'm just going to not be all that interest in either going forward.

The previous GM could have made deals to fill the holes rather than just shrug his shoulders.
-
DFA'd by 3 different ballclubs last year. Benchwarmer for WOO.
-
HOU lost a lot and had a better GM at the helm when the players started leaving.
-
Fine with me.
-
That's why some of the "why did they fire Bloom" stuff is easy enough for me to ignore. Bloom definitely had his faults. Even if you liked his direction, he made some big mistakes along the way.
-
I can't say I'm "excited" per se, but I think his trades so far have been competent. Wish he had done more, but seems like he's been reigned in. If he was the CBO in previous years, he may have been able to deal more of those expiring contracts that I wanted to see moved.
-
Beltran -1.2 fWAR, zero impact for HOU, bad example McCann only 2 seasons and less important than Christian Vazquez who I didn't mention Porcello was a fair comp for Keuchel who you mentioned.
-
Time seems to be running out, but there are still a few names left.
-
Let the contracts run out, offered QO's BUT OOOOPSIE WE WENT OVER THE CBT STUPIDLY SO THE COMP PICKS ARE 4TH ROUNDERS INSTEAD OF LATE 1ST ROUNDERS!!!!
-
A's don't have a single player on BTV that matches Duran's value. BTV accepts Mitch Keller for Jarren Duran
-
Last night I watched the very first episode of Black Mirror. I think this season of the Red Sox will probably be reminiscent of that.
-
Most likely it's Theo needing to tell Henry to loosen the purse strings or allow Crag to change the direction the org is headed. Right now, we're in a waiting game on prospects that may never pan out.
