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.
-
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.
-
I agree. It's time for them to drink from the firehose and fill out their rotation.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

Craig Breslow hired as Head Of Baseball Operations

Bailey was key in turning around Gausman's career in SF. There could be some quick fixes in the org. -
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Roger Clemens - 1st round Bruce Hurst - 1st round Aaron Sele - 1st round Curt Schilling - 2nd round Jon Lester - 2nd round Clay Buchholz - 1st round If they want the next homegrown starter, it may have to come from the top of the draft. You'll miss on a pick or two, but it would be worth it in the end.
-
Draft a college pitcher? Other teams are able to develop pitching. The Sox are not able to develop pitching and part of that reason may be that they have punted pitching at the top of the draft.
-
Highest drafted pitcher each draft: 23: 4th Duffy 22: 3rd Rogers 21: 4th Rodriguez Cruz 20: 4th Wu Yellend 19: 3rd Zeferjahn 18: 3rd Feltman 17: 1st Houck 16: 1st Groome (Anderson drafted in 3rd Round) 15: 6th Lakins 14: 3rd Cosart Only two pitchers drafted in the first two rounds of the draft over the past decade. Only 7 drafted in the first 3 rounds. Where are the high octane arms going to come from then? Just the DSL?

The hobby horses must be ridden damnit....

Don't care.

He was killed by the CIA for exposing these myths about beauty.
-
Pivetta and Winckowski have about the same trade value. I'd deal Winck first. He's an expendable bullpen arm IMO.
-
Jimmy Soul would disagree with you... If you want to be happy for the rest of your life Never make a pretty woman your wife So for my personal point of view Get an ugly girl to marry you Say man! Hey baby! I saw your wife the other day! Yeah? Yeah, an' she's ugly! Yeah, she's ugly, but she sure can cook, baby! Yeah, alright!
-
Beauty is secondary though! Shouldn't come first!
-
He's wheelin' and dealin' like a madman.
-
I don't know why you'd trade Pivetta or what you'd actually get back. He's good for what he is for one more year. I think you could just deal Winckowski for Polanco and be done with it. I don't know if they need an upgrade at C with Teel coming. Wong is fine for now.
