2016 Trade and Roster Move Speculation thread
Bellhorn04 replied to Dojji's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
As Theo Epstein just reminded us, when you're shooting for a ring you may have to overpay quite a bit. -
Also, if you get 2 manager-bashers together, there's a good chance they will frequently disagree with each other on what the right moves are or were.

2016 Trade and Roster Move Speculation thread

Under this particular scenario I would say no. Because getting King Felix and then having his career end like that would be a colossal downer. Plus we'd have to pay him 80 million after 2016. -
Seriously, a Wild Card game would be kind of fun - especially if we win.
-
Showalter does seem to do that. Yet in 17 seasons he has no trips to the Series and an overall postseason record of 9-13.
-
No question.
-
I see no difference between the gorilla suit and some of the stunts Manny pulled. Yes, they were lapses in judgement or behavior, but they don't trump the overall performance. Not for me anyway.
-
Well that's a kick in the teeth...
-
That just might come down to luck of the draw.
-
Also, I'll never understand how Farrell can be knocked for favoring Gomes over Nava that postseason. Neither of them did much, but Gomes's 3-run homer in Game 4 of the Series was huge. And it came off a RH pitcher.

Man, ain't that the truth. The haul for Chapman is a mind-blower. Makes the Pomeranz trade look pretty good. -
I know it's a little early to be talking like this, but I'll be happy if we make it to the Wild Card game this year.
-
That gorilla suit stuff means nothing to me. All I care about is his overall record. And his overall record with the Sox was sensational. 2 championships, 4 trips to the ALCS, worst season 86 wins.
-
I'm not sure why you mentioned Drew's bat here. He had an excellent season. He slumped badly in the postseason (as did most of our hitters), but his defence was outstanding.
-
And yet there are so many in game decisions that can have an impact in close ones like last night. -Did he remove Pomeranz too early? -Were Kelly and Buchholz the right choices? -Should Hill have pinch-hit in the 8th?
-
Crazy s*** happens in this game...we had just gone 2-0 against one of the best teams.
-
If I'm a Cubs fan I'm pretty happy with the job he's doing. It's been a while since they've had this much excitement.

It was a hothead move by Sale but not really that big of a deal IMO. Big Papi has lost his marbles a few times too. -
I accept the bet with the caveat.
-
I'll give you the first one. The rest is just standard second-guessing.

Correction - one series of 3 games. -
Buch has been bumped out of the rotation, they traded for a guy to replace him, he's hardly pitched in July. I highly doubt he's in their plans for next year. Sig bet on them exercising the option or not?
-
I don't remember a ton of weird moves. Name a couple.
-
I agree with you.
-
No doubt the Sox FO was given the all-clear on Buch's health by our crack medical staff.
