Would you do Moncada for Urias trade?
cp176 replied to seannybboi's topic in Red Sox Minor League Talk
Yes - yesterday even -
I can see why you might hesitate to spell out his name but I agree. You just never know. There are some questions that will need to be answered and he still might be in the mix. If you take the high road here - he literally works his ass off and comes back better than ever and he plays third base with Shaw moving over to first if Papi retires. Just like with these prospects, you never know. None of the predictors using everything they had to use would have predicted the upside we have seen in Shaw and Betts for sure. I assume that you know that by saying anything loosely interpreted as being positive about PS, you have waded into troubled waters.

I've watched Hernandez play since he came to the Sox organization. Very few people have known much about him very similar to Shaw in that respect. I'm not nuts about him being at third base. He is a shortstop/second baseman. People who think that he winds up simply being a utility player I think are wrong. Unlike some of those that you have listed ahead of him, he is major league ready. He could wind up being included in a trade or he could someday wind up playing second base in Boston. I tend to get more excited about the Hernandez's, Shaw's, Travis's, and Bett's simply because they don't come carrying the baggage of being a can't miss prospect. They can all miss.
-
He was very close to playing at the major league level. Possibly even being a special player. He will be back and if he stays in the Sox organization, I think that he will force himself into their lineup.

Clay Buchholz - Is he worth the 2016 option?
cp176 replied to Slasher9's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I'm no advocate of players wasting bullets in the minors but I would not have been surprised if they had wanted to give E-Rod and his knee brace one more look before the call up. -
Dojji - come on - you have been giving me the impression that you were alive during the 60's. Boston Celtics!!! End - early 70's - all Bruins. We just love our winners.

Clay Buchholz - Is he worth the 2016 option?
cp176 replied to Slasher9's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
i'm impressed. it may seem so simple and common logic but it takes nuts to make the moves that have been made this year. I thought for sure that he would get one more start. -
Slow start last night you think? He knows he hasn't pitched well and that he needs to hike em hike and get it done. I don't think he is quite done yet.

zero

Isn't that the way with prospects. Sometimes it just isn't the ones that collectively have the stats saying they are going to make it who actually make it. Mookie Betts, Travis Shaw and the beat goes on. I'm beating on a tired drum I know but unless they go big in a trade, I hope they keep the kids.
-
It isn't really something I would worry about but I would hope that they would be very careful before they give up any type of young power arm if it isn't for something that is really worthwhile in return. I'm not saying Light will be anything special but 101 on the gun doesn't come along everyday. As for Hernandez, I'm ok with being his booster. Rutledge, Marrero, etc. etc. etc. long before him.
-
Lower end prospects? Hernandez and Light - really. Both of these two guys are too young to give up for a rent a player. there would be quite a list of guys that are older and not really in a position to help the big club who could be moved before either of them. I also think that a trade is apt to come but it will be for a real player - maybe a pitcher and maybe not- and it will be costly in terms of good young prospects.
-
I'd trade Holt before Hernandez.

ty - old guy humor!

Maybe if he could just spread it out a little bit! Fast forward to inning number 2 possibly.
-
Last year, i was on the Shaw/Hernandez kick. This year, I am betting on Hernandez once again. He is going to be a starting infielder for someone some day. It might be us. Like all the kids, he just needs to get his shot. Ultimately, he won't be just a utility player.
-
Watching Swihart move in left has made me realize once again that if a player is athletic and wants to do it and has baseball instincts they can do it. Given the choice, I think that our best bet is to leave Swihart out there until we know what we have. He knows how to play baseball at the ml level. No need to waste time with Castillo in Fenway Park at least until he learns how to play.
-
Tonight is a big night for bastard number 1. The Buckster needs to get it done or he is going back into hibernation until the next option is activated.
-
I like Rich Hill and wish they had signed him but i sure as hell would not give up much of a young prospect for him. One thing that I am learning from this is that all of the experts sometimes get it wrong. I like the kids and I don't think I would mess with this team at all right now.
-
I could not be happier for Swihart here Spud. I'm all in on him in left (particularly if he hits!).
-
He is the type of player that this team is filled with. He was a great contributor.

hanigan's got a little knuckle ball flu

Swihart -

i doubt seriously that buchholz will ever go to the pen. It is possible for sure that rodriguez stays in Pawtucket a little longer. They will go to a 6 man rotation before buck goes to the pen. Someone I suspect will get injured (wink wink) if they decide to stick with a 5 man.

thanks Ted - I think that I was. I was 9 and i remember crying when I figured out for sure that he wasn't coming back. i became a fairly big fan of Pete Runnels after that and then of course along came the Captain - Carl!!!
