  1. Aldo Ramirez is a pretty good prospect, but is 20 and pretty far away. He was ranked 8th on soxprospects.com, just behind Bello and ahead of Yorke, Groome & Mata. What kinda sucks about it is that Ramirez is not a Rule 5 guy, this winter, so we don't really make room for anybody else, next year, but more deals are likely. Stay tuned.
  2. Since 2019, Schwarber has averaged this per 650 PAs: .238 42 96 60 XBHs .333 OBP .515 SLG .848 OPS 176 Ks (27% K rate) If we trade for Santana and a pitcher like Boyd or Gray, will that be enough to quiet the restless?
  3. Nice call! Wonder what we gave up.
  4. MLBTR just reported Schwarber to Red Sox! (He does not play 1B.)
  5. Shwaber had one of the hottest streaks known to mankind before going on the IL.
  6. It can be more than minor and still not upset the future. We have some decent players that cannot fit on next year's roster assume we sign 4-5 free agents and protect 5-6 Rule 5 prospects. If we are going to lose some goodplayers,anyway, it's not trading away the future by trading some of them, now.
  7. They looked better on paper before the trades. I think we can get close enough to compete with them, with 2 good trades, but I don't want Bloom giving too much. Bloom made this season fun. I'm not asking him to blow up the future for a long shot arrow.
  8. That and what can and will he do with a fat wallet. 2022 we become top contenders. 2023 we are in the cream, of the cream.
  9. After these Yankee trades and the Sox draft, our farm may have passed yours, today.
  10. There is still a lot of talent left out there. I doubt we go as high as Berrios, but we can get something useful, and hopeful more than just a rental.
  11. In short, this was not the time to go all in.
  12. They will likely extend Scherzer to longer than Turner. It was about both and going for 3 rings in row. Then reset and make room for the Sox in 2023.
  13. Why repeat what made us like 2020? Some memories are very short.
  14. I've said all along, something like Gray and Santana or Boyd and Schoop. (a rental and a 1 more year guy) That makes us better than NYY, TOR, TBR and about even with HOU & CWS while retaining our future goals intact. Disagree, if you want, but my position is logical and valid.
  15. I'd be fine trading or DFA'ing Richards, but I do think he's better than Workman & Andriese.
  16. You obviously don't know my position. The deadline is tomorrow. We were never going to trade enough to becoem faves over the Dodgers and Padres. Never. We will make a move(s) to improve without hurting the future. We will go for broke in a year or two, and look to surprise this October. Sit back and enjoy the rest season we are having. Why bust a nut over nothing? Did you really want us to outbid the Dodgers and piss away our future? We just drafted a whizz and lose a bunch of salary, this winter.
  17. Potts wont even be on our 40 man, next year.
  18. The deadline is tomorrow.
  19. So, Gray's been lucky three straight years. Got it. Look, I'm not saying he's great. He's better than what we have. That was my point. He's no Scherzer or Berrios. I never said he was.
  20. Our pen is fine. Plus, if we add a SP'er, we'll move Richards to the pen.
  21. It's all about timing. That's why this is not the year to go all in and try to top teams like LAD and SDP. Had we gotten Rizzo and Berrios, we'd still fall way short of LAD,
  22. Jon Gray would not be a minor upgrade or sideways move... Out of 180 SP'ers ERA- Leaders June 5th> ERA- 9. Jon Gray 55 26. Eovaldi 68 88. ERod 105 104. Pivetta 120 112. Perez 131 130. Richards 159 2021 Season Eovaldi 77 Jon Gray 78 Perez 92 Pivetta 100 Richards 114 ERod 116 2020-2021 78 Eovaldi 93 Jon Gray 94 Perez 95 Pivetta 114 Richards 116 ERod 2019-2021 85 Jon Gray 90 Eovaldi 91 ERod 94 Perez 95 Pivetta 114 Richards
  23. Rizzo's OPS+ trend: OPS+ in 2 year increments 149 2014-2015 137 2016-2017 132 2018-2019 111 2020-2021
  24. Yes, it's always about SP'ing. The Dodgers and Padres know this. The Yanks go bats. Silly Yanks! Dumb Cashman.
