Big hope on NOT!
-
Some wild games
-
Close. I would, if he agreed to an extension. BTV accepted this: Mayer, Wikelman, Walter & Hosmer for Rogers, Garrett & Berti
-
Then I do t trade Mayer just now.
-
Certainly posters did use the word "decimate." My point was I have not heard it in a long time. The term "strawman" is easy to understand, and may not apply to this case, since there were real posters who said DD decimated the farm. No doubt, Bloom has a long way to go to reach the peak DD met, and he's been handed a different situation and set of priorities, so it's understandable the end results are not equal.
-
I don't necessarily disagree, but Mayer is the only consensus best draft pick of a draft the Sox have ever had. We better get 4+ years of control for him.
-
Not anymore. You are right.
-
Maybe. Maybe we trade Bogey in 2-3 years, but he will likely want a no-trade clause.
-
Sox want to sign Bogey... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/10/red-sox-notes-devers-hosmer-casas-catcher-coaching-staff.html

I have not heard anyone say that word in a long time. Strawman is arguing against someone or something that does not even exist. It would be like saying, "All those posters who predicted Dalbec would hit 50 HRs were totally wrong!"
-
I'm not saying he'll be worth it but most of the biggest contracts given out have been to players over 30-31. This guy will sell tickets, cable viewerships and jerseys like no other player in memory. All it takes is one desperate GM to make an absurd offer. I think one will. I doubt it reaches my example number, but I just put that out there to show that there likely is a number the Yanks will not match.
-
Well, they were the main reason we did not reset.
-
Besides the 15 players listed as 2023 arrivals, many of which may be inconsequential, here is the soxprospects.com list of 2024 arrivals: 1. Mayer (late '24) 5. York (mid) 17. Lugo (mid) 18. TWard (opening day) 22. Kavadas (late) 26. Abreu (opening day) 28. Drohan (late) 32. R Hernandez 33. Binelas 37. Ryan Fernandez 38. C Koss 44. D Hamilton 49. AJ Politi 50. J Wallace 56. Granberg D Feltman

Don't forget the crybaby fans' failures, too!
-
No doubt. I'm not for spending big on the DH and bench. If he hit lefty and played better RF, I'd see it differently.
-
What did Matz do to get $44M/4? Alex Wood and Alex Cobb had some previous success, but $25M/2 and $20M/2? DeSclafini got 3 years and $36M for having a 2021 season with 40 more IP than Wacha got, this year and nearly the same ERA+. Tell me how Kikuchi got $36M/3without ever having an ERA+ above 93. Wacha will be paid more than what you think. Maybe less than my projections, but a QO for one year is not a bad risk.
-
Mancini might draw some Sox interest. He can be a back-up/insurance 1B and corner OF, as well as a DH. We could then trade Dalbec or Hosmer, but I'm not sure the idea of Refsnyder as our near FT RF'er will be the plan. (Mancini bats RH'd like Ref, so not a great fit for a RF platoon. If we sign Nimmo, we will likely go with a DH rotation that could include a mix of players (some won't be on the 26 man): Ref, Arroyo, Dalbec, Hosmer, EValdez, Wong and the very unlikely $12M man, Pham.
-
The opening day roster did not include ERod or Sale. It also had JBJ in CF and Pillar as the 4th OF'er. https://www.soxprospects.com/2020SB.htm Plus, I said roster, not opening day roster and neither did Old Red in the post I responded to.
-
Others blame Cora. Others Bloom. Others JH. Others various combinations of each.
-
Wacha may think $18M/1 is better than $28M/2, if he can have a good 2023 season, he'd set himself up for a longer term and better deal. I admit, $28M/2 would probably get Wacha to turn down a QO, assuming he's certain he'd get it. With inflation and the recency effect, I think Hill will get $6M/1 in 2023.
-
Why not tell me why Wacha won't get $12-13M/1 and Hill $5-6M/1? I think Wacha may be offered $28/2 or $36M/3. I've seen higher offers for less than what Wacha did in 2022. Hill pitched better than $5M/1.
-
That roster was horrible. 26 man or 40 man. It was horrific beyond 4-5 good players and 5-10 decent role players.
-
I think the Astros win it all vs the Mets.
-
I thought you meant Wacha + Hill vs Nate. I doubt Wacha takes $12M/1 + Hill $6M/1, so I'm not sure the comp is realistic.
-
I said I'm against offering Nate a QO, many times. I'm not sure why you persist. He may get a $33M/3 offer, so $18M/1 is not absurd. I would not like it, but it is understandable- barely.
