He fits very well in Boston. We have needed someone with his strengths and and we seem to have people that can cover his weaknesses. So far so good.
-
I don't look at trades that way. The needs of each team need to be taken into consideration. From a Boston perspective it represents a great trade right now. We have pitchers that look like they can give us what he gave us. I like him and all but that still is the bottom line. We need bullpen help and in the process of a rebuild Smith looks really really good. If Seattle needed a starter who was dependable although average then they got their man. Among Owens, Johnson, Wright, Porcello, and Kelly, we have Miley pretty well covered. Johnson being my sleeper pick. If Seattle has Smith covered well good job to both teams.

Sparky Lyle for Danny Cater - remember that one!
-
If Brian Johnson is healthy, his name will part of this mix. He doesn't have the power arm of Kelly, but he knows how to pitch. I think that if healthy he will become a better option ultimately than Owens.I think that he is a better "pitcher" right now than either Kelly or Owens.

This is really just your opinion. I am sure you can find people who will agree with you. I am not biased against Hanley, Panda, Porcello, or Buchholz. Words like bias and hypocrite don't really sound good to me. Disagreeing with you does not make me biased nor does it make me a hypocrite.
-
My feelings about Buchholz are based on years of watching him. Sandoval did not earn the money he was paid last year. I am not hypocritical for sure. I'm not arguing with you over this. Not worth it. Truth - I do care how John Henry spends his money. They are all overpays. I am looking ahead. We have a GM who is making what seem to me to be rational decisions. I am excited about this year.
-
I'm really not into the comparison mode. I just like people like Dombrowski. He saw needs, he told everyone what he felt the needs were, he has addressed them. Will all of the moves work out well - maybe. He gets an A form me but I probably was an easy grader. Hopefully, he has a few more moves to make.
-
Having a lot of Miley type guys I imagine is a very good thing. You get a lot of average possibly better than average innings. They are needed. Not many teams have an abundance of them. As for Espinoza, honestly who knows? My point here is that I have heard numerous times from many posters on talksox how solid our farm system is. If they are right, 3 of our top 6 prospects are now starting pitchers. That trends toward good things.
-
There is a chance now that Vazquez may be ready earlier than previously expected.
-
We will get a chance to see - Espinoza, Kopech, Johnson, I would even throw Owens in here.
-
I think that he will be competing for a bullpen job as well.
-
Miley is replaceable from within. We needed a player like Carson Smith. Elias just provides another possible option. Dombrowski is filling obvious gaps that we had no one ready to fill. Great job.
-
It would be hypocritical if it just had to do with the amount of the contract. I might be a hypocrite. The Price contract makes sense to me. Number one it is isn't my money. Number two, he represents the ace that we need. Both Sandoval's and Buchholz's contract may make sense if they are able to perform. I hope that they both will but I am not confident of that happening. Personally, it is more about who you have playing the game day to day as opposed to the monopoly money that is being spent.
-
I don't think that it is amazing. I think that it is a job well done!
-
Interesting take and I hope that you are right. Just wonder if they think that Owens, Johnson, and Wright will basically give them Miley like production. I like Miley but I think the he is backed up here pretty well. Another deal that moves us forward.
-
Once again, it looks like a move that attempts to address a real need. Hate to see Miley go, but we have arms enough to give us we we got from him. Maybe not just one, but a combination for sure.
-
I like Miley but am thinking that the Sox feel that they can replace what he gives through Owens or a combination of Owens plus others. If Johnson is healthy, he will be interesting to watch. Even though it looks as though we know what we got in Miley - good consistent innings eater and not a bad pitcher overall as well, I still think that the potential that buchholtz,and Kelly have are intriguing to the Sox.
-
We don't know whether any of the contracts that players sign are going to be worth it or not until they actually begin and then it is still open to opinion. The Price and Kimbrel deals could wind up looking good down the road as could Porcello's, Ramirez's, and Sandoval's. You have to roll the dice. I hope our dice are still rolling.
-
Moncada and Benintendi will be moving on up I think. Espinoza is a promising young arm but his age keeps him a long way away. Really just a kid. I like Deevers, Chavis, and Travis. I like the fact that we have 2 potential third baseman ranked that high. It could be an area of need. I also like Kopech's potential. He has made some mistakes along the way. has a live arm.
-
Cleveland looking for hitters. Lets go! Teams are interested in some of Boston's starters - (forever potential) Buchholz - Kelly - Miley-- Hope they hang on to Miley. The other 2 might help to bring us that other starting pitcher that we need or help to strengthen the bullpen.
-
Is shutting people up for wanting an ace the same as shutting up the people who honestly believe that we weren't awinnin without one? has to be that the front office just crumbled to talk sox pressure once again.
-
I like Salazar in a trade with the Guardians and wouldn't be surprised to see it happen at all.
-
I think that a Cespedes signing makes a package that includes JBJ and Swihart plus a very real possibility. I think that personally I would prefer Castillo in that package as opposed to JBJ but I think that Castillo's contract would make that difficult to do. Now the tough part. Who would we match up with and how much would it take. What about Cleveland? A couple of good young arms up there for sure.
-
You are paying Buchholtz for a half season potentially for number 1 through 4 work. 26 million for a whole year of him says that we are paying for nothing. We know that they all are satisfactorily rewarded for their work and even their non-work. I happen to like buchholtz for the work he does. He really isn't worth more than he is getting and I am sure that he is one happy guy. If someone thought they were getting a bargain, I would trade him in a heartbeat but I would not give him away. It may be his on year now that we have someone who can lead the way.
-
I very much like the fact that we have a GM with a solid track who is experienced. I know that it is very selfish and personal but when I see moves made that I think should have been made and need to be made, I like it. I think that that is natural enough. I believe that he will address needs that we have without sacrificing the future. I really like what he has done so far.
