The big deadline foundational questions are: What is the meaning of "still in it?" (Contender or not) For a ring or a play-in WC shot? Is 4, 6 or 8 games behind the last WC slot "out of it?" Does how we are playing the 7-14 days before the deadline play a major role? One has to think with the "magic" this team has shown and their ability to fight back, come back and streak, at times, maybe the "crap shoot" nature of the playoffs is just what this team would be good at. If we are tied for first place, I can't see us trading Barnes & Ottavino. Maybe, if Sale looks good, we trade ERod, but for what? Maybe we'll be buyers and sellers.
-
They really aren't known for great drafting. It is more about development, so your point is spot on.
-
That was the only one we thought of. I also remembered the Sox trading David Wells, when many felt we still had a shot.
-
I'm not sure how many teams want ERod, as of now. Trading Barnes is certainly something they must be thinking about. Ottavino, too. This isn't Tampa, anymore, but I'm sure Bloom still sees the value of such moves. I'm not sure the fans would.
-
True, especially if we never spend the buffer between us and the tax line. One could alsoview the "savings" as allowing us to sign Marwin or Andriese, which doesn't seem all that great.
-
Why does KC want high priced rentals? Downs, yes. Maybe a three-way trade.
-
If we add a 1Bman, it will e a cheap 2 month rental. (Moreland type)
-
A position he's never played? I think he plays CF and Kike platoons with Dalbec at 1B and plays some 2B until Arroyo returns.
-
Marwin sucks at hitting. If we call Duran up, Kike can play 1B
-
It’s not “definite” we’d be better. The money saved afforded us Renfroe or Sawamura.
-
I've been wrong on a few roster move ideas, like... Sending Dalbec down right before he got hot. Sending Taylor down. Calling up Santana. So, here I go... (moves to be made, soon, or when players are healthy) DFA Santana Add Duran 40 and promote him to CF/leadoff DFA Andriese Add Kaleb Ort and promote him to Boston Put Richards on the IL (phantom or otherwise) Call up who ever is healthy and ready from this list (in order) 1. Houck 2. Valdez 3. Bazardo 4. Gonsalves When Arroyo is ready, demote Chavis When Plawecki is ready, demote Wong When Brasier is ready, DFA Workman or demote Rios (see below) When Sale is ready, demote Rios or DFA Workman
-
Some have been "ready" since opening day. Why one week and not tomorrow?
-
Who gets sent down from the rotation once Sale is back?

We should do better than T Ball. We may get Davis. I like our chances at getting Jobe, Leiter or Rocker, if we don't get the catcher, Davis -

moonslav59 replied to TylerD's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Because I saw what the Rays did for over a decade under his control and influence. There have been many changes in the scouting and development areas in the Sox systam. -
I had to look it up, and yes, they moved the trade deadline to 4pm on July 30th to avoid trades during games. We play TBR the night of the 30th and then 12 more times.
-
This could be a sign of a rotation turn-around: Most recent start(s) IP H ER BB K Pivetta 6.2 0 0 2 8 5.0 6 3 3 6 (3 HRs in the 5th) ERod 6.0 7 3 1 7 (2 runs on infield hits) Nate last 2 starts combined 10.2 10 3 2 8 (2.53 ERA) 3 starts before June 9th implosion: 16.2 17 3 3 18 (1.62 ERA) (3.00 ERA in his last 6 games.) Martin Perez was at 3.09 on June 7th. He had 2 bad starts, then... 5.0 3 1 2 3 Richards: forget about it.
-
We have to hope 700 keeps bashing Pivetta. Every time he bad mouths him, boom! Pivetta turns into our ace.
-
No error by Vaz, and maybe we aren't complaining. The run tonight was unearned.
-
I'd think Duran is ready, but I'm not an expert. I don't think we are imploding. I see 3 of our SP'ers starting to show signs of coming out of their 3-5 start funks. Sure, I hope they DFA Santana and call up Duran, tomorrow, but if they wait another day, week or month, I'll trust they have the right reasons. I'm also not sure how the Olympic commitment plays into the timing, but I sure wish they'd call him up. I won't criticize them, if they don't right away.
-
Maybe the only way we can win this game is to get to the silly rules, extra innings.
-
Especially to players new at using it, but yes, I agree.
-
I guess that's the best Chavis magic we can expect.
-
Chavis magic time.
-
Or, giving into what they want.
-
It's also 0-0 and we need runs. Marwin is anti-runs.
