    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?

    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!
  9. mvp 78
    Beauty is secondary though! Shouldn't come first!

    He's wheelin' and dealin' like a madman.
  11. mvp 78
    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.

    Age.

    In a perfect world, we'd still rather have Yamamoto instead. I think it's just looking like the Sox need to switch to plan B, C, D...

    It's definitely a better rotation than 2022 in theory/on paper. I'm a lot higher on Crawford than I was 12 months ago. I don't think he has an amazing ceiling, but he's a fine 4/5 starter for now. Bello is still more of a mid-rotation arm unless he can reach that next level. Giolito and Montas could be swayed by shorter contracts and the newly revamped Sox pitching program.
  15. mvp 78
    I was only looking at available FA starters, not trade acquisitions preferred by TalkSox posters.
  16. mvp 78
    Sign Chapman and trade Baty?
  17. mvp 78
    FanGraphs projects Stroman 3/66 and Giolito 2/30. If those are the contracts, I'd lean towards Giolito. Why not Stroman, Giolito AND Montas though? We know Sale will miss time and will be gone next year anyway. Stroman Bello Sale Giolito Montas Pivetta to pen. Crawford to AAA to keep innings up until someone gets hurt.

    They have the money and the CBT room. They just might not have the WILL to spend anymore.
  19. mvp 78
    When you take Mazz away from Felger, he is no longer in rage mode. He's halfway tolerant. I think they treat their afternoon drive show like a WWE episode everyday.
  20. mvp 78
    Sox may be in the same boat then? If that's the case, then the price for Snell and Monty could actually go down if bidders aren't that thrilled about them.
  21. mvp 78
    Please, sir, I want some more gruel?
  22. mvp 78
    I'd go: Mets 60% LA 20% Yanks 15% Sox 5% I think that's where I'd rank it. Sox take up the final spot as I believe they have some more financial flexibility and might than SF or TOR.
  23. mvp 78
    For me, price tag. Stroman is solid though. I wouldn't do more than a 3 year deal though.
  24. mvp 78
    Aside from the big 3 the unsigned guys are: Stroman - maybe Kershaw - no Clevinger - maybe Lorenzen - no Woodruff - Paxton type deal? Urias - jail time, pass Manaea - no Greinke - would be fun to watch, but no Paxton - no Giolito - sure German - no Boyd - no Hill - retire please Junis - relief profile, no Wood - no Ryu - medicals? maybe Montas - bounce back candidate with upside, sure Imanaga - midrotation guy, price tag? Bauer - PR hit? Carrasco - no YRodriguez - relief profile, no I guess it depends on which of the bargain basement guys Crag likes? Would he take Giolito and Montas thinking that he can put life back into them? Both had TOTR upside in recent years.
  25. mvp 78
    Why wouldn't he blow everyone away? He's not going to show up and say "I'll give you what the Yankees do plus 1M." He's going to put 50M more on the table so that Yamamoto doesn't walk away.
