I'm not saying they won't be .450 to .500, but they have the potential to make the playoffs, especially since the the AL has gotten worse, except for Toronto.

MLBTR Free-agent righty Masahiro Tanaka could be nearing a return to his native Japan

Here is our current pitching depth chart: SP Sale ERod Richards Eovaldi Perez Pivetta Houck Whitlock Mazza Seabold Mata Hart Gossett Kent Ward RP Barnes Ottavino Brasier D Hern Taylor Brice Andriese Valdez Brewer Weber Walden Springs Payamps Bazardo Gonsalves Hall Shawaryn Grotz Maybe 8 capable, when healthy, SP'ers can and will be enough. If a lot goes right, maybe one can help the pen and a long guy or "opener." Maybe even one can be our closer.

Gotcha. I went back and fixed it.

Sox sign Garrett Richards, pending physical
moonslav59 replied to illinoisredsox's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Agreed, but as soon as ERod or Sale return, I can see Houck being sent down. His innings need to be limited anyways, so the main reason is not to extend his years of team control, but if this kid does very well, one more year can be golden. -
I think you underestimate the Sox chances at being much better than .450. (Maybe you overestimate how good the rest of the AL is.) Many of our players had good to great season just 1-2 years ago- others 3 years ago, and very few are so far past prime that high expectations are unrealistic.
-
I am, too, but my point was about this deal being pretty close to a zero risk deal. You have so many good prospects and your 40 man roster is deep. You'd likely have had to DFA or trade away equals to the guys you gave PIT for Taillon. Frankly, I was shocked at how little they took back. I wish the Sox had offered more. I do think Taillon will do very well, but if never throws a pitch for the Yanks, you barely lost anything. Your SP'er depth is so deep, it's not like you structured your team around Taillon's success.
-
We may wait and decide to go over at the deadline, or not, if we look to be out of it.
-
If we trade Beni for low cost players, we can maybe add a CF'er & pitcher w/o going over.
-
Agreed, but I have Andriese in the pen and Mata as a SP'er. Some can be moved to the other list.
-
Makes me wonder who will be his first large and long deal. (Will it be next winter?)

-
Could still be a high priority, and only a great deal would create a situation where they decide to go over.
-
We may just sign Pillar & Marisnick, if we trade Beni. We may also just trade Beni for a CF'er.

Speaking of the future, here are our most recent stars we acquired and/or decided to keep for an extended time: 2021: none 2020: none 2019: Sale extended for 5 years (20-24) Bogey extended for 6 years (20-25- opt out after '22) 2018: JD Martinez signed for 5 years Eovaldi via trade & re-signed for 4 years (19-22) Vaz extended for 3 years (19-21) 2016: Price signed for 7 years (16-22) NOT WANTED to KEEP Sale via trade 2015: Pablo signed to 5 years (15-19 w option 6th yr) NOT KEPT HRam signed for 4 years (15-18 w option 5th yr) NOT KEPT Kimbrel via trade (3 years 16-18) 2014: Porcello via trade and extended for 4 years (16-19) ERod via trade and re-signed/arbs (15-21) 2013: Pedey extended for 8 years (14-21) Victorino signed for 3 years (13-15) 2012: Buchholz extended for 4 years w 2 option yrs (12-15/17) Did I miss anyone?

Actually, they don't need Taillon to throw one pitch, this year, so I don't see them structuring their team around him. Yes, if one of these long shot prospects comes through, they could lose something, but the Yanks have a much stronger and deeper farm than us, so losing these 4 are hardly a blip on their screen. I can see your point, but I don't see much of a "risk" at all. I'd have given much more than what the Yanks gave up, and that might have been a "risk," so maybe that's why I'm viewing it this way.
-
9 SP'ers, a solid pen, a solid offense and decent defense- all while re-setting. As much as I hate the Yanks, it's hard to find fault.
-
Yes, same as Richards and maybe others.

Marcel Ozuna is the only thing that can save me as a fan
moonslav59 replied to Swiharts Ghost's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I liked the Sale extension for this reason. I did not like the Eovaldi extension. -
Chavis hits righties better than lefties, but maybe we add a LH'd bat that's cheaper than Beni and can play CF (or RF better than Renfroe).
-
Agreed. Trading or DFA'ing Payamps, Springs or Brice makes more sense.
-
Even if we don't sign JBJ, we may trade Beni to add $6M to our winter spending budget. We have some guys who can play LF but not CF, too well. Renfroe Chavis Puello
-
Only $850K paid by the Yanks.

Let's not go back to Sparky Lyle for Danny Cater.
