There is still a couple weeks left to the minor league season, but certainly some feeling for how good (or bad) some of our prospects has been gained. Yes, some injuries have kept us from knowing much more about Yorke and a few others. As many prospects have jumped in the rankings, many others have fallen, some more out of attrition & graduating prospects than poor production. Duran (#4 to start '22) graduated and lost value. Winckowski (#12) graduated and didn't show much promise in the bigs. Crawford (16) graduated and has shown he may stick as a swingman or long RP'er. I think the end of year rankings will show some huge jumps by Rafaela , Paulino, Wong, Lugo, Perales, Hickey, Kavadas, German, Drohan and Rodriguez-Crus. We also have added some top prospects by draft, IFA and trades. Here are a few- ranked, currently: 9. Romero (draft) 11. Anthony (draft) 14. E Valdez (trade) 21. Coffey (draft) 22. Wilyer "Mr. Walk" Abreu (trade) 30. Brannon (draft)

Let’s help knock the Yanks out of first place!

But you can replace them with machines.

Go on pretending you don’t know what I mean.

You know what I find amusing? How some posters think fans that are into stats can't enjoy the game like not stat fans can or do. This pretty much sums it up and make me chuckle.. Mikey Metsguy: " Hey Ferdie, did you catch the end of the Mets' game last night ? Diaz entrance to trumpets blaring , then he struck out the side to end it. Very exciting. " Ferdie Nerdwell: " No , I was on fangraphs , checking all the fWAR ratings . Then I was on BTV , seeing if they would accept my trade proposals. " Mikey : " You missed all the fun again. Diaz picked up his 29th save." Ferdie: " No, I had fun. Besides, saves are overrated. " Mikey: " Okay. See you around, Ferdie.

Sale did great for us. The trade worked well. The extension has not.
-
I thought we overpaid for Kimbrel, at the time, because he was making close to FA salary, but soon after the trade, the cost of good closers went through the roof. It was a good move, but let's not pretend Margot could not be helping the team this year. He's 10 times better than JBJ. I'm fine with trading prospects. I started my "Chris Freakin' Sale" thing the day of the trade. I just don't want to empty the farm to win in 2023. Moderation is the key. When Theo left the Sox, he spoke of how he got away from that balance.

I loved the Sale trade. I have no beef with DD, at all. We went all in, and it was great. Now, we pay the price.

Probably the next 3-4 might not be missed either.

Kike Hernandez signs 1 year extension
moonslav59 replied to Jasonbay44's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
No, but it kind of counters the point about his home field inflating his stats. -
Maybe he thinks he was the only guy we need. I've always wondered who these guys are in other teams' organizations that keep finding/developing stud pitchers, year-after-year.
-
I think Bloom might be pushed into trading a prospect or two. I'd really like to keep Mayer, Bello, Bleis and Rafaela, if possible. I like Casas, a lot, but if he could get us an ace, I'd do it. I know trading Yorke when his stock has dipped a little may not be a great idea, but I have him behind the 5 I just listed. We can't get an ace by trading 3 from Mata, Walter, Paulino and Wikelman, IMO.
-
He was already DFA'd.
-
That class did not perform like expected, but that doesn't mean this one is the same. That being said, I wish we had Kopech, Margot, Moncada (when healthy) and maybe a couple others I can't think of. The budget might still be near the same. The only difference is we lose so much salary, this winter, it will seem like we are spending much more. (We have some good shoes to fill, too.)
-
It seems like ND beat Michigan more than they lost, so maybe that's why I don't really dislike them, and hey, The Wolverines is one of the coolest names for a team, right?

Woody Hayes was a big dick. For me, it goes back that far. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=304338050205426

There was no guarantee on Devers, Bogey, Betts, JBJ, either. It's awfully hard to win a ring with no top homegrown talent and a somewhat restrictive budget. Like I said, I'm fine with making a big splash prospect trade. I just don't want to empty the farm for the here and now. We all should all see that that is a big part of what got us here in the first place.
-
My season has boiled down to rooting for whoever is facing Alabama and Ohio St.
-
I'd be fine waiting it our for all our prospects to mature. Look what the 2011 draft class (and IFA signings around then) did for us. I just don't think Sox Nation can handle another down year, as we wait it out. I think we will make one big splash trade of prospects for a young, controllable star.
-
There are plenty of facts gotten wrong, here, too.
-
I don't think GMs drop stock prices as much as we think, but point well taken. Rafaela and Mata, then.
-
I doubt they have a Joe Montana listed 3rd on their depth chart, this year- like they did in '77.
-
UConn is not on national TV, every week, exposing their ineptitude.
-
I went over this with you during the summer. I think it was Vaz. They kept saying why trade Vaz when he has another year of team control. Repeated it over and over. That was just one example. I don't want to relitigate this.

If Angel Hernandez could not get fired, I rest my case...
