    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.
  6. mvp 78
    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

    And with the Dodgers being in a different time zone, a lot of their games won't conflict with Sox games.

    Which way FO? Bob Dylan's Desire Side A (Hurricane) Bob Dylan's Desire Side B (Joey)

    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.

    Good thing that Henry is famously patient with his CBOs.

    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.

    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.
  13. mvp 78
    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.
  14. mvp 78
    I agree. It's time for them to drink from the firehose and fill out their rotation.
  15. mvp 78
    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.
  16. mvp 78
    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.

    Logan Allen, the 2020 Draft pick in the 2nd round that the Sox played against last year you friggin goofball.
  18. mvp 78
    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.

    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.

    Bailey was key in turning around Gausman's career in SF. There could be some quick fixes in the org.
  21. mvp 78
    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.
  22. mvp 78
    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.
  23. mvp 78
    All I'm saying is that Bloom's approach of punting on pitching during the draft was not helping the lack of pitching in the farm system. It made the problem a lot worse. If the top of your board is always position players, they will always need to acquire high octane arms by other means. However, they have no really concrete plan to do so. We've seen the rotation teardown since Dombrowski left. There is no cohesive plan year to year.
  24. mvp 78
    Ranaudo reached the bigs. Owens reached the bigs. Brian Johnson reached the bigs. Pat Light reached the bigs. That's more than you can say for a lot of the hitters they drafted. Each pitcher they drafted aside from the stupid Trey Ball pick actually did something meaningful with their career in that time period.
  25. mvp 78
    Many? It really doesn't seem like it when you go draft to draft. They also take a s*** ton a hitters that they have gotten noting from the Cam Cannons, the Kolbrin Viteks, the Deven Marreros, the Jason Places. It doesn't mean you stop drafting pitchers because a few don't work out like Teddy Stankiewicz or whatever.
