mvp 78

If pitching is 75% of baseball, prospect team rankings should weigh pitchers more heavily than hitters.

I can see their point. If the Sox have a top 3 offensive group, but bottom 3 pitching group their rating should drop. They probably shouldn't have been 5th or whatever.

Teoscar > Soler > Duvall > Cooper > Pham > PUIG

Me either. Just fun to post.

Rutschman 100%. I think he's the O's franchise going forward.

Casas, yes. Bello, no.

I'll be honest and say there is something endearing about SBF's posts when taken in small batches. Too bad he had to be a real one and post some insane s*** at thunder.

I was jonesing for a good missive this AM.

PECOTA currently projects the Sox at 80 wins. AL East: NYY 94 TOR 88 BAL 87 TBR 86 BOS 80 (1.5% chance to win division, 16.2% chance to make playoffs)

I'm not saying I support signing Pham!

Apparently John Henry and his pack of flunkies running the show think they can get away with turning our team into another s*** show this coming season......and you know what??? They can get away with it if the pink hats and boot lickers pack the park in a show of loyalty to an organization that is selling them down the river. The only answer we have to this flagrant destruction of our team is to stay away, don't go to Fenway, don't tune in to NESN or follow their games on TV, refuse to buy any Red Sox gear whether jerseys, tee shirts, hats, etc. JUST BOYCOTT!!!!. I know it will hurt to do that but what choice to we have? We have finished last three of the last four seasons, looks like it will be four of five in 2024, and that would make it seven times in 13 seasons going back to 2012. Our team doesn't give a rip about winning, only making money for future investments in other sports while their main business is on hold thinking they can keep expanding elsewhere and we'll just go along with what they're doing. We need to make it hurt bad for them to wake up and understand that we have a right to see our team compete for a playoff sport EVERY @#$%&?! YEAR. Sorry for the rant but I think some of you out there agree with me.

In FL, we have these monstrous avocados that look amazing, but when you go to eat them just taste like unflavored instant mashed potatoes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choquette_(avocado) I'm partial to other varieties.

Well... bye, Gee notin, Romy Gonzales, a White Sox reject. Wow, that should whet our appetites for the season to start. I have a word for Breslow.....YOU NEED TO RESIGN AND TAKE UP SOME OTHER LINE OF WORK. You have become nothing more than an errand boy for the front office, no power, no ability to sign anyone of significance, and nothing much to show for your flailing around since you became head of BO. I don't think Sawxheads exists anymore. You have to go to a different site now.

There is no difference between POBO and CBO. Bloom and Crag just don't have the rizz to trick Henry into spending.

He's a platoon in LF for Duran? His glove is as good if not better? IDK. Trying to look on the bright side of this FA they also won't sign.

He had a 103 tOPS+ at Fenway when he played for the Sox in '22. That's all I got.

You get a 1 year deal. And you get a 1 year deal. And you get a 1 year deal.

Also, thanks Bloom!

BA noted, “Boston’s system is a little hitter-heavy at this point.” They have four positional prospects ranked on Baseball America’s Top 100 list. Shortstop Marcelo Mayer is No. 14, center fielder Roman Anthony is No. 21, catcher Kyle Teel is No. 62 and center fielder/shortstop Ceddanne Rafaela is No. 94. It has just four pitchers ranked among its system’s top 20 prospects: righties Wikelman Gonzalez (No. 7), Luis Perales (No. 9), Richard Fitts (No. 11) and Yordanny Monegro (No. 18).

And that dang QO!

If you could go back in time, wouldn't you do something about baby Hitler? Maybe Clevinger rode in a TARDIS, saw what the baby was going to do in 35 years and decided to do something about it?

Sometimes babies are just born bad.

Snell doesn't make sense. Montgomery makes some sense. I think the Sox are vaguely interested in him, but don't want to spend right now because they don't know how long it will take for their prospects to ripen.

Sign Woodruff to a Paxton deal. Ryu Kershaw Clevinger Lorenzen German Junis Syndergaard Keuchel Odorizzi - health? Chirinos Lauer Boyd Keller Velasquez Anderson Turnbull The question is, which of these guys is worse in the rotation than Houck? Where's the cutoff point for just not adding a guy to add a guy? Ryu is interesting. Clevinger seems the only one on that list to be a good bet to beat out Houck for a rotation spot (Kershaw isn't coming here, I'm not high on Lorenzen).

Sam has done enough PR damage this offseason that nobody will care about Clevinger. The vibes are already in the toilet.
