The Ellsbury collision was 100% on Jacoby. He never even opened his mouth to call Beltre off.
-
I remember looking at AGon's spray charts with SD and thinking he'd hit 50 HRs with Boston.
-
So, HRs is your only criteria? (I happen to agree with you that AGon was a little bit of a letdown in Boston. We traded him just in time. He declined sharply after 3 decent seasons in LA --.803 to .830).

Mookie Betts and David Price have been traded to Dodgers
moonslav59 replied to Jasonbay44's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
He was great and would have been great (but not as great) without cheating. If obvious cheaters belong in the HOF, then he should go. Personally, I'd let him in on his last vote. -
Myers was never great. He's never been over .797. He hasn't really declined all that much. Here's some different breakdowns of his career: .759 first 4 years (1663 PAs) .768 last 3 years (1482 PAs) .734 first 3 years (987 PAs) .795 middle 2 year (1325 PAs) .749 last 2 years (833 PAs) Here's what Myers is a plus: vs LHPs .877 in 2019 (104 PAs) .805 in 2018 (141 PAs) .790 in 2017 (172 PAs) .814 in 2016 (163 PAs) Yes, Mike Lowell had just one bad year, but it was worse than any season Myers has had in a long time. .658 in 2005. Maybe Bloom know something about Myers and thinks he can get him to hit more like .795 than .749, but to me, it's all about his production vs LHPs and our ability to add a young player.

lol!

If he can keep up a decent OBP, his speed would do nicely in the one slot, but minor league decent OBP does not always translate to the bigs. Duran's minor league OBP: .376 (880 PAs), but it was .309 at AA, last year in 352 PAs (.456 at A+).

Let's hope he's not on the IL as much as Jake.
-
We were also penalized one year for IFA signings. I have said all along, within the context of our draft choices and penalties, DD did well with his picks. However, our farm still sucked after he left.
-
It's not. But, I guess if one team is asking for more- the other is asking for less.
-
I'm 100% behind Bloom.
-
I would not give up on the Myers-Quantril trade. Bloom is probably pushing for more cash from SD, and will wait until they realize nobody else will take Myers.
-
Sale was a horse before 2018.

Mookie Betts and David Price have been traded to Dodgers
moonslav59 replied to Jasonbay44's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
The "cap" only applies to about 4-8 teams each year. -
Well, if the Myers deal gets done, it apparently included Quantril, so we'd have our 4/5th starter.
-
I disagree. No way would we pay the tax, if he was just going to be our 4th OF'er. He might have been good enough to be a role player in MLB, but the tax issue may have prevented him for that.
-
I don't "feel sorry" for Rusney. I firmly believe he was not good enough to be anything more than a 4th OF'er, but it does seem unfair that some stupid rule prevented him for even getting a chance to do that. He's making $72M, so no sympathy here.
-
If the offer was $300M/10, it would have been insanely unreasonable for Mookie to accept, as is.
-
I'd love to see Sale, Eovaldi and ERod all get 180+ IP, this year. (That will likely not be enough, though.)
-
I agree. I will say that had the Sox been able to call him up without being taxed, I doubt he'd done well enough to prove he belongs in the bigs. That being said, he deserved a chance. By the time he gets his next chance, he'll be post-prime.
-
I never thought I'd see teams sold for what they are being sold for, but you hardly hear any complaining about that.
-
I think we can safely say the Sox SP'ers are no more injury prone than Yankee SP'ers.
-
Must be little to talk about, if Castillo is back on the front burner.
