    I agree. Any upgrade in the staff will come via a trade. Do you keep three lefties in your starting rotation or do you move Miley.
  2. Behindenemylines
    Sox have some good young arms in the lower minors that could move in to the rotation when Price opts out after three years. Both Espinosa and Kopech look promising.
  3. Behindenemylines
    The back up OFs on the rooster are Holt, and Shaw has played some LF. They are both lefties, thus the need for a righty hitting OF. Good power and still plays a decent corner OF.
  4. Behindenemylines
    The search is complete. They get a top five pitcher in all of baseball with Price. They had to over pay, but they had to get a top of the order starter.
  5. Behindenemylines
    Relax! Any other SP coming to Boston would come via trade. I think the Sox will look at the Winter Meetings to upgrade their SP, but if they don't I can see them going to Florida with what they got. A huge upgrade from last spring.
  6. Behindenemylines
    Probably be the idea situation for the Sox. Price has three outstanding seasons and then opts out. Sox wouldn't have to worry about the back end of the contract and by then some of the young arms (Espinosa and Kopech) would be ready.
  7. Behindenemylines
    Both those prospects are behind players that are 22 and 23 years old. Margot would be stuck behind Betts, and Guerra stuck behind Xander. At some point you have to use your prospects to fill current team needs. Sox needed to upgrade bullpen. Kimbrel is easily a top three closer in baseball. The Royals have gone to two straight WS based on their dominant 7-8-9 inning bullpen guys. This puts us closer to that. You have give up something to get something. Margot and Guerra are 2 to 3 years away from being in the show. If anyone thinks that teams are going to give us top players to fill the Sox needs without getting something back you are dreaming. Finally, you would only have Chapman for a year, while Kimbrel the Sox could have control of for the next three seasons.

    I like the deal. Sox got one of the top power armed closers without giving up Moncada - Benintendi - Espinosa. If Betts ends up in center Margot would be blocked by him. Bogaerts blocks Guerra at short. Carlos Asuaje and Logan Allen are the other two pieces. Asuaje is behind Moncada at 2B on the depth chart and Allen is behind Kopech and Espinosa on the depth chart of young pitchers that are in the low minors. We gave up quality minor leaguers, but no one that is rated tops at their position. If anyone thinks we are going to fix the bullpen and get a number 1 starter and not give up anything they are dreaming.

    The question is: To we spend $$$$ to get a FA ace or do we trade for one?
  10. Behindenemylines
    He gave up way to many HRs. He will become a FA.
  11. Behindenemylines
    Yes, but the Dodgers and the Astros offered them the qualifying offer. Those qualifying offers are hurting lower tier FA who do not accept them to. MLB has to take a look at this.
  12. Behindenemylines
    Some where Bill Buckner was smiling last night when the ball rolled past Murphy and the Mets would eventually loss. Come back Royals did it again.
  13. Behindenemylines
    Greinke and Cueto I would stay clear of. One would not do well under the scrutiny of the Boston Press and fandom, and the other did not pitch well against AL hitters the second half of the season and had some injury issues. Price would be the first choice, and Zimmermann probably would be a second option if the Price numbers get crazy. Trading for an ace is hard to say, we don't know who is on the market yet. If Sale was made available you would have to make a run at him.
  14. Behindenemylines
    It seems pitchers have made adjustments to JBJ the last week or so. It is his turn to do the same. There was no way he could keep the same pace, but he has gone ice cold again.
  15. Behindenemylines
    No. Trying to build a winning culture with the young Sox. Plus their successes the last few months will allow them to gain confidence that will carry over to 2016. Play hard and the right way.
  16. Behindenemylines
    To move both the Sox would have to eat a lot of $$$$$ or take some ones bad contracts. I can see one being moved, but it would be a miracle if both where.
  17. Behindenemylines
    All I want for Christmas this year is a true ace without giving up the farm.
  18. Behindenemylines
    Lets hope the Sox learned their lesson from the failed attempt last off season in getting a true number 1. I kind of think the trade route, over throwing big $$$$$ at a FA is the way to go for the Sox.
  19. Behindenemylines
    Is this a guy who has finally found something, or is it a pitcher who is doing something for a team out of contention in September? It has been a special September for him.
  20. Behindenemylines
    He would be a good #5 who eats innings. Unless he is needed as a piece to get top of the rotation pitching you can't go wrong with him as your 5.
  21. Behindenemylines
    I agree. BC didn't leave the cupboard empty. Fix the pitching this off season and the Sox will be competitive next year. At minimum a number one starter and three or four arms for the bullpen. Hopefully, the Porcello and others better showing means they have figures things out.
  22. Behindenemylines
    I agree. Based on the current rooster and minor league rankings player development is something the Sox have done right over the last few years. Hopefully, this keeps that going. I think it works for what DD wants as a GM.
  23. Behindenemylines
    Moncada and Espinosa are two that I would put in that class. Then only move Devers or Benintendi if it brought back a true #1 starter.
  24. Behindenemylines
    Castillo looks pretty good so far in left.
  25. Behindenemylines
    Of the pitchers on the 2015 Sox I think Porcello and Rodriguez are the only two sure bets to be in the 2016 rotation. Buchholz is a big question because of the health issue. Owens will start 2016 in AAA unless he is traded. Barnes will be tried again in the bullpen. Not sold on Kelly yet, and could be a piece to get a true number 1 back. Miley could be a 5 or he could get traded.
