That's why it was in green.
-
For someone who complains about the many trade proposals Sox fans make, here, that one of his was about as lame as can be.
-
I've often wondered, if you two were the same poster.
-
He might agree to a trade, if he knows he will be on the bench, or we might just DFA him, as notin wants us to do.
-
The Sox aren't trading their starting OF'er for a shaky catcher, either.
-
I really like Rafaela, but the 5 years of Cabrera and 3 of Berti look pretty good, too.
-
And, maybe the "miss" doesn't look as bad as it did when we had him. Bloom was not wrong about the guy having talent.
-
Ask Old "last year was last year" Red.
-
Would you give Rafaela for Cabrera & Berti? How about Yorke and Jimenez or Chris Murphy for the same two?
-
I actually got the idea from you.
-
I'm thinking BTV's end of year reevaluations will lower Duran under 2.0.
-
Funny how all Kike's clutch hits were quickly forgotten.

w CWS 3.38 McGuire (399) 4.01 Zavala (449Z) 4.21 Grandal (554) 4.30 C Perez (46)
-
Nobody wants Duran, and BTV is grossly wrong on the value they gave him.
-
Vaz was a back-up, too (in HOU.)
-
I'm not sure I'd make this trade. I was just offering a different view. I will say that Lopez and cabrera gives us 7 years of some pretty damn good pitching and Berti could be a nice fit in RF. Cooper-Hosmer at 1B would be the big step down vs Casas.
-
Low? He got Ronaldo Hernandez for him! Certainly, he is better than Sam Travis! My point is, Bloom saw something in Perez and Springs to think maybe he'd get a gem in the rough. He wasn't totally wrong about that. He just missed by a year or two. One could argue that had Ben gotten they 2016 seasons from HRam and Porcello in 2015, he'd have been the GM at least a year longer. Sometimes, timing is everything.
-
This could be the only way we go "all out," this year.
-
Eventually, it's going to go to 8 teams making it from each league. No byes. No one game play-ins. Whether they shorten the regular season or not, is the bigger question. To me, the 162 game season is what weeds out the bad or worse teams. Letting 16 out 30 teams in diminishes the value of such a long season, but it's all about money. Had there been a 16 team playoffs, this year, the Sox would have been in the race much longer, and finished just 3 GB the CWS. The first round match-ups: AL CWS v HOU TOR v SEA BAL v NYY TBR v CLE NL SFG v LAD SDP v STL MIL v ATL PHI v NYM
-
No. I think Bloom had the right instincts on these guys, but just missed on the timing. I guess that's bad luck, but maybe not "blind."
-
I doubt they get a FT catcher, either. I think they roll the dice with McGuire & Wong with RHern in AAA as uninspiring depth. ' With the high priority placed on the farm and a likely limited winter spending budget, I see other much greater needs than Catcher, 1B and maybe even DH. SP RP SS SP/RP RF RP
-
I would not go that far. Giving up Duran is one thing, but not something of value like that!
-
I'm blaming this on "crybaby fans," too. (LOL) Can you imagine the relentless and hysterical crying had we brought these two back for another year?
-
It certainly could be just "timing." (BTW, I used the word "maybe" twice to emphasize how speculative my point was.) It could be coaching-related, too.
-
It's better than one game play-ins, but I dislike the other teams getting such a long rest.
