  1. We did trade Agon (with CC and Beckett) for basically De la Rosa & Webster. BTW, if fans were upset, they didn't stay mad for long. We won a ring the very next year.
  2. David Wells for George Kottarus More recently..., Jake Peavy for Edwin Escobar and Heath Hembree Felix Doubront for Marco Hernandez I'm sure there are others.
  3. TB had no untouchables for a reason- money. Bloom may not treat Devers the same as Longoria.
  4. It looks that way.I just really hate Ohio State. I think LSU had a tougher schedule, but OSU deserves to be the fave. LSU-Clemson could be a great one.
  5. Some here seems to be okay with getting close every year without ever winning over winning it all but not getting close in between. I lived that for over 3 decades. I like the rings, even if it means sucking a few years here and there, and besides, we should never really suck bad as long as we keep spending neat the Lux line.
  6. Seems like a lot of options. If we take some salary back, maybe we could get a better prospect. Here are the "trade values" of some players that might be part of a possible trade: Prospects: $Millions/Position/Player 50.6 C Ruiz 50.1 OF Verdugo 43.3 C Smith (MLB last year) 21.9 2B Downs 19.9 SP Gonsolin (MLB last year) 18.3 SP J Gray Salary returned? -41.3 OF Pollock (maybe, if we get them to take Price or Eovaldi) ($51M/3- Lux Tax 12.0) 12.7 OF Pederson (~$9M arb/1- Lux Tax- 9.0) 12.2 SP Maeda ($12.5M/4- Lux Tax 3.125) -4.9 RP Jansen ($38M/2- Lux Tax 16.0) -12.7 RP Joe Kelly ($17.7/2- Lux Tax 8.3)
  7. Looks like Ohio State and LSU are in- win or lose, next week. Clemson might be in, if they lose, but with a weaker schedule than Baylor & Oklahoma, it's hard to argue they stay home. Clemson could lose and still get tghe 4th slot, if Georgia loses to LSU. Georgia losing really opens things up. The Baylor-Oklahoma winner would surely take their spot, but if Georgia and Clemson lose, does a winning Utah squeeze in over Clemson?
  8. At times, even the Dodgers trade off vets for prospects- something some Sox fans seem firmly against, in theory.
  9. The Sox are 29th and less than 1/3 the total value of the Rays or Padres. 11 teams have double our value. (The Cubs are 28th.) So much for the mantra, "We will rebuild the farm in no time."
  10. I agree, but I hope, unlike the Dodgers, we win ring.
  11. The extension was not part of the trade. I still love the trade, now, because we won a ring. Sure, I wish we still had Moncada & Kopech, but a ring is a ring.
  12. I'm not sure it was even a choice, at the time. We needed Beni for the "window." It's interesting to see that Moncada + Kopech have a "trade value" of over $150M. One wonders what sort of numbers these two will put up, but I loved the trade, and still do. After all, we got... Chris Freakin' Sale!
  13. Should be a fun playoff, this year.
  14. Here's how I see the top 15 going into the final week: 1. Ohio St. 12-0 2. LSU 12-0 3. Clemson 12-0 4. Georgia 11-1 5. Oklahoma 11-1 6. Utah 11-1 7. Baylor 11-1 8. Alabama 10-2 9. Penn St. 10-2 10. Florida 10-2 11. Wisconsin 10-2 12. Auburn 9-3 13. Notre Dame 10-2 14. Oregon 10-2 15. Memphis 11-1 Next week: Georgia vs LSU (If LSU wins, Oklahoma can squeeze in. LSU should be in, even if they lose.) Ohio St. vs Wisconsin (OSU is in- win or lose.) Virginia vs Clemson (Clemson might be squeezed out with a loss.) Oklahoma vs Baylor (The winner of OKL v Baylor could make it if Clemson loses and will make it if DA loses.) Utah vs Oregon (I can't see Utah making it, even if GA and OK lose.) Memphis vs Cincy (No chance- just playing for a better bowl.)
  15. Glad to see Alabama out of the playoffs, for once!
  16. This Alabama-Auburn game is a classic! The rest of today was a bit of a drag.
  17. At least there's college football to watch while we wait for some fresh, hot stove news.
  18. Not unless we see some "outgoing" along with the "incoming."
  19. Being tight-lipped might be an advantage.
  20. I'd trade Beni for Moncada in a heartbeat.
  21. Betts has one year of team control: Devers has 4, including 1 more pre-arb! No way I trade Ra-fay!
  22. Trade simulator values the Sox top players as such: $Millions 127.2 Devers 90.6 Bogaerts 50.0 Betts 35.9 Beni 28.0 ERod 24.6 Barnes 24.5 Casas 22.9 Vazquez 18.8 Dalbec 17.7 Chavis 14.0 Duran 13.7 Mata 10.6 D Hernandez 6.6 Jimenez 6.0 JD Martinez 5.8 Taylor 5.8 Walden 5.3 Song 5.3 Workman 4.6 Lugo 4.4 Ward 4.3 Groome 3.6 Decker 3.3 Houck & Cannon 2.9 Flores 2.5 Gonzalez 2.3 Diaz & Howlett 2.2 Lopez 2.1 Northcut 2.0 JBJ
  23. While Bogey's deal was no where near 10 years, he still has a net plus value of $90.6.
  24. I kind of expected some feedback from this post, so here it is again. Value wise, this site says Dalbec, Chavis and Duran would be the same trade value needed to trade for Betts ($50M).
