  1. DESPERATE DAVE f***ed us over!
  2. Or Bloom just brushed off the media convo.
  3. They need a 2B better than Valdez/Reyes. That shouldn't be hard to do. They need SP better than Bello/Sale/Crawford/Houck/Pivetta. Some of the names throw around (tier 4 and lower), are NOT better than these guys. What's the point in adding if they aren't higher quality!?!?!?
  4. What's the budget? We don't know!
  5. He brought "gas" but NOBODY would say he has elite velo. C'mon.....
  6. I'm not saying you were reporting rumors, just that Manaea may not even be interesting to Crag.
  7. That was a big time fracture to me in how I saw this ownership.
  8. That's solely based on the min IP requirement you put. If you put it to 200, he falls to 55 behind elite velo guys like NICK PIVETTA. If you put it to 150, he falls to 112 behind elite JOSH WINCKOWSKI.
  9. He was with Bailey last year and they didn't keep him in the rotation. We haven't heard anything about them being linked. I think that probably says a lot about Bailey's thought on Manaea's talent level.
  10. Fujinami could be an interesting arm, but they've already added a Rule 5 guy and have a fairly decent pen. They need help in the rotation with Fujinami doesn't provide.
  11. Like with the Snell conversation, not lights out then just lucky?
  12. Urena is one of the worst pitchers in the league. Could he get better at some point? Maybe. He hasn't had an ERA below 5 since 2018!
  13. Also, Keller's fastball is in the 34th percentile. Is that topflight velo now? WTH?
  14. The sheer amount of blue on Keller's statcast page should keep notin awake at night, but I'm not worried about the Sox signing him since he's awful at generating whiffs. 8th percentile xwOBA! Yuck!
  15. Huh? Manaea had 4.89 ERA/3.81 xFIP in 81 innings. That's not lights out numbers for a bulk relief role. That dude stinks and is not an effective starter. If he couldn't pitch with SDP's defense behind him, he shouldn't pitch at Fenway.
  16. A lottery only makes punting pointless if you had the #1 pick in the prior draft.
  17. Those names are rotten.
  18. I don't believe Henry and Werner are a unified front and see eye to eye on everything.
  19. Price was thrown in at the end to seal the deal.
  20. It's a completely different trade market and trading partner. Again, what deals at the time were better than what they got? There weren't a lot of pitching heavy deals being floated back then. I'm sure Bloom would have loved one.
  21. Probably because they were waiting on the best deal available because they were trading a franchise player!
  22. It all goes into the voting stew buddy.
  23. I'll be patient with the changes Crag makes in that regard. Bloom had his ways of handling the pipeline, Crag will do things differently.
