Yes, they have certainly been accumulating a stockpile of prospects.
-
Statements like that from Farrell seem a little comical to me. Somebody should ask John how he plans to deploy all those outfielders.
-
Yes, I think that's what the history shows. Like I say, I understand it. It's a business and Red Sox fans are not the most patient constituency.
-
What I mean is, I don't think they've ever really had a 'consistent philosophy' under this ownership - not for very long anyway.
-
It's a conflicted philosophy, because no matter what they say, they always have an eye on attendance and ratings too. Personally the lack of consistency doesn't bother me too much. I expect it.

Latest rumors on Lester: Cubs offer is 6 years 144 million Red Sox offer is 6 years 138 million
-
No way in hell does that happen.
-
I think the 3-4-5 would more likely be Ortiz-Hanley-Panda. Positions for Bogaerts and Castillo would depend on performance. I'd really love to see Napoli in that 6 slot.
-
Nava's defence also had a big improvement according to the metrics.
-
Nava is not a 'rather crappy starter' at all. In 113 games last year he had a 3.3 WAR per B-R and 2.6 per FanGraphs. Well above average.
-
Ha...Nava will be with the Sox or some other MLB team...when will you learn not to write him off.
-
FWIW this Jake Wesley kid is now tweeting some promising stuff about Lester...this kid apparently knows someone with the Red Sox.
-
Maybe they trade Napoli and Hanley goes to 1B. There are enough scenarios to make your head spin. I'm sure they have a master plan all laid out.
-
They gave him a starting price, sure, but it's been widely expected that he would get 130-150 million.
-
Not necessarily. Pujols and Cano got $240 million. It all depends on his numbers and whether salaries ever do stabilize or if they climb some more. Right now the money is flowing in.
-
He is. It's the team options for 2016 and 2017 that are at $10 million per.
-
The chatter seems to be more like 8 million a year for Miller.
-
5 @ 19 doesn't strike me as nuts anymore, the way contracts are going.
-
You might be a little too demanding. Only 8 pitchers in all MLB reached 220 IP this year.
-
Hopefully you're right. I was about to say that we don't know enough to judge whether the offer they made Lester was dumb or smart. If it was 5/100, that's dumb. If it was 6/150, that's also dumb. But if it was 6/126, that seems about right - and as you say, that wouldn't be their final number. We also don't know what else was said when they met, about where things go from there.
-
What approach do you think they should have used?
-
Hey UN, welcome back. I agree about Castillo not being expensive, but I'd be pretty surprised to see them sign him and trade him right away.
-
Price is a perfect example. The package you get in return depends a lot on circumstances.
-
And the Marlins would have him for 5 years for 125 million (depending on the structure) so it makes sense for them too. Of course they're carrying a ton of risk those 5 years (which could be mitigated by insurance?)
-
It also seems like it's what the Marlins had to do.
