    Agreed. I think management has solid expectations for them, as well as for some of the position players bouncing back or improving. I still think Bloom has a few more moves coming as well. By the time we are ready to start the season, the team will be in very good shape.
  2. Kimmi
    To be fair, many did think that when he first came up and hit all those home runs.
  3. Kimmi
    Woohoo! The Red Sox are the winners of the AL East offseason so far! Good points.
  4. Kimmi
    I know how badly we need pitching, but that seems like an awful lot to give up for Castillo. I'm thinking more along the lines of Verdugo straight up for Castillo, though I'm guessing the Reds would not be on board with that.
  5. Kimmi
    Speier's article is a good read and spot on, IMO.
  6. Kimmi
    Perhaps. To date. This offseason is kind of like what Cherington did in 2013. The main focus is on rebuilding and maintaining the farm system, while trying to contend at the same time. It takes time to rebuild the farm. Once the farm system is where we need it to be, those 'difference maker' moves will be made. The time is just not right for those moves yet. Think about what Theo had to do when he first went to the Cubs. He didn't make those significant moves until the team was ready.
  7. Kimmi
    Speier is right. The Sox aren't at the point where they want to make 'big moves'. However, smaller moves for lesser known players does not mean we can't get really good players.
  8. Kimmi
    I agree with everything in this post, except I think we can contend in 2021. We won't be the division favorites, but we can get into the playoffs.
  9. Kimmi
    No doubt. Putting together a contending team for 2021 while also building for the future takes patience, not rash decisions. That's why things are moving so slowly.

    As I posted before, if you're looking for that splashy signing this year, you're probably going to be disappointed. Bloom will get the job done, but it's not going to be in the same way that Dombrowski did it. I know this off season has moved agonizingly slow.

    According to Speier, the Sox were looking at a different type of deal for Kluber, one that was similar to what they gave Perez. Kluber was apparently looking for a straight forward, one year deal.
  12. Kimmi
    In a sense, we also add ERod and eventually Sale.
  13. Kimmi
    Speier's take is pretty accurate, IMO. We, as Red Sox (and Mariners) fans, just have to hang in there.
  14. Kimmi
    Yikes! No thanks.
  15. Kimmi
    I really think that ownership realizes how bad last year was in terms of fan support. I really don't think they're going to allow 2021 to be another year like that.
  16. Kimmi
    I think Henry will continue to spend. For one, he realizes that his fan base expects him to spend, even though that shouldn't be a consideration for him. But he doesn't want to lose fans. More importantly, he likes to win. This is why he lost patience with Ben so quickly. He is going to spend in order to put a winning product on the field. We have to keep in mind that the season still has a lot of uncertainty surrounding it, especially in terms of whether fans will be allowed. This is making most owners hesitant about spending.
  17. Kimmi
    I know it's been a frustrating offseason so far. Really all I can say is to remain patient and see what unfolds over the next month.
  18. Kimmi
    Yes, I agree. If Perez is all we're getting in terms of starting pitching, then I will not be happy. If Perez is more of a depth type move, which is what I think he is, then Bloom is right on track.
  19. Kimmi
    24-25? Stop. Just stop.
  20. Kimmi
    I would have too. You have to wonder what kind of deal Porcello is looking for and if he even has any interest in coming back.
  21. Kimmi
    Ha. Sure, why not? As much as I love Lester, though, I would take Porcello over him.
  22. Kimmi
    Bloom is the anti-Dombrowski. Anyone expecting a bunch of Dombrowski type moves is likely going to be disappointed. That's not to say that Bloom won't eventually make a big free agent signing or a big trade, but now is not the time for either of those, for many reasons.
  23. Kimmi
    We should bring Buchholz back. And Porcello.
  24. Kimmi
    I get the feeling that Bloom is going to pull off a few trades in the near future, the first involving Beni, whose trade I'm not particularly on board with. What trades will follow, I have no clue. I don't think we will have any 'wow' moments this offseason, but we will do enough to have a competitive team.
  25. Kimmi
    I am extremely confident that we will add another starting pitcher, perhaps two.
