    Pitchfork time for me. I'd need to know who the decision maker was and there'd be some tar and feathering going on.
  2. mvp 78
    That'd probably be worse for Devers.
  3. mvp 78
    I wonder who the "they" was. My guess is that it wasn't DD.
  4. mvp 78
    It's not that the players are better or worse, it's that there is remaining theoretical value left on the contract/control. Whether the trades makes sense in reality is up to the respective FO's.

    The tough part with Gambrell's age is that he missed 2020, was injured during '21 and missed all of '22. That's basically 3 years of lost development. He still has catching up to do so I wouldn't necessarily say he's reached his ceiling yet.

    My trade proposal works according to our Lord and Savior BTV. If you add in Alvarez, the Sox need to throw in Anthony, Devers, Mayer and Bleis to make it work out.
  7. mvp 78
    It was when they decided to make the boneheaded move of ditching Mookie.

    Gambrell really is another 5th starter at best. If he gets taken it's not really a big deal. He's most likely just an up and down guy. Penrod has such a SSS that nobody really knows what he can do. I can't fault the Sox for not protecting him especially with his control issues. Sox took a chance on a indy ball guy and he looked good for a few months, hard to see another team thinking that means he's MLB ready when he's only thrown 20 Innings in High A (4.96 xFIP). Both would be interesting to watch in '24 if they stay in the system, but if they are drafted I'm not concerned. Penrod would probably be returned. Gambrell just doesn't have a high ceiling so if he is gone for good it's no big loss.

    Yeah, it was brought up before. High variance with him. Probably a guy a new GM wouldn't draft. It's just a Rule 5 pick, so no harm in bringing someone in for Spring Training.

    I'm not sure if Bastardo is eligible for the MiLB portion, but if he's taken in the MLB portion he'll be returned 100%. I don't know why he's projected to be taken. Drohan at least is left handed and pitched well in AA. Aside from Drohan, I'm not really concerned about who is taken, even if it's Scott/Paulino/Castro.
  11. mvp 78
    Hit well in AA, but OPS'd under 800 in A+ this year and seems to be more DH than anything else. He was moved off of 1B/3B because he was pretty bad there. Was OF only in '23.
  12. mvp 78
    I'll take Henry over Jim Crane any day.
  13. mvp 78
    A second baseman to potentially replace Altuve and a reliever coming off an injury for Bregman and two starting pitchers. They'll take that, no cap.

    @tylermilliken_ Diamond Baseball Holdings has reached an agreement to buy the Worcester Red Sox, per @MikeSilvermanBB. Nothing will change with the WooSox’ 35-year lease to play at Polar Park. 32 years remain on that deal. DBH already owns @salemredsox and @PortlandSeaDogs.

    While looking for something else, I came across this post from 5 years ago. The Espinosa deal was a bad idea at the time. Pomeranz was having a career year and getting lots of luck out of his new cutter. Using the highly ranked Espinosa to obtain him was an overpay. Pomeranz fell back to earth but was serviceable. In hindsight, Espinoza had major injury issues and only appeared in MLB recently in a bullpen role. His ceiling now isn't what we once thought. HOWEVER, it was a bad trade, but not as bad as we thought at the time. They should have used the highly ranked Espinoza on a better pitcher IMO.
  16. mvp 78
    At some point, not getting a return is going to come back and bite them.
  17. mvp 78
    I guess you prefer last DAMN place.

    Prior to last season, he was ranked in the 40's (FanGraphs) for the Guardians, whereas Whitlock was in the top 20 for the Yanks. He walks a lot of guys and doesn't have a third pitch apparently. Not sure the Sox need another bullpen guy to stash. If there's a Rule 5 guy that could make sense it would be Carlos De La Cruz (PHI) a RHB who plays OF/1B. I mentioned a some others a few days ago like Kristian Robinson, another RHB OFer.

    Wong has a nice arm, but sucks at framing and blocking. Reese has a bad arm, but is ok at framing and blocking. Vaz did all of the above at a relatively proficient level. He's just a good all around catcher. There's nobody on the current MLB squad blocking the prospects from taking over a fulltime role at that position.
  21. mvp 78
    I'd take '22 Wendle for 2M to be the starting 2B and clear up some of the clutter at 2B the Sox currently have. Hindsight of course.
  22. mvp 78
    Maybe they should have had some sort of deadline fire sale in '22 then?
  23. mvp 78
    Depends on if Wendle is going to hit as bad as he did in '23.
