    If the season begins to look lost, we could trade Workman, assuming he's still doing well, for a young pitcher. I doubt anyone gives a good young pitcher for Chavis or Dalbec, but who knows how much some GM values one of them. We could try trading Chavis and Houck for a better pitcher, but what team is looking to trade good young pitchers? (Hint: none.)

    Did Andrews recommend surgery?

    His "similar" offense over the last 2 years was boosted by hitting more HRs (80 to 61) although the double totals were close to flipped. I think Betts's power numbers are hurt by playing in Fenway, although his career SLG% is better at home. On defense, Yelich is a minus while Betts is the best. Does that equate to 25% or more in money? I'd say it's close, but remember, Yelich did not test Free agency to sign this deal. I'd rather have Yelich at $215/9 than Betts at $350/10 or $400/12.)

    Half would be nice, but maybe they'd take JBJ in lieu of all cash. We could add Workman to sweeten the return. We could give Chavis or Dalbec.

    A century? I realize this was probably hyperbole, and 80-90 years would be closer to accurate, as the teams of the early 20's to 30's really sucked. We never won more than 67 games from 1922-1933. We were pretty bad right before the WS trip in 1946. We were pretty bad for 6 or 7 years before the 1967 miracle season. We were 54-61 in the shortened 1994 season. We won 69 games in 2012 but very few expected less than 79 or 89 wins that season in March.

    Close to 0% chance we trade those prospects. I still think the Myers trade might be our best shot at getting a good young pitcher without losing any youth.

    I'm not sure "survived" is the word I'd choose, but we'd have been decent with Sale healthy. This is not looking good, but nothing has been confirmed, yet.

    I'm not sure I've ever been called that before.

    We may get #17, this year, if the league doesn't take it away. That's not high, but it's better than we've had since 2016 (Groome at #12). We might get a top 14 pick next year.
  10. moonslav59
    I voted 76-80, but I'm thinking more like 78-82. That wasn't a choice.
  11. moonslav59
    We should look to trade all free-agents-to-be at the deadline: Workman, JBJ & Pillar. We may even look to trade (or extend) those with 1 year remaining after 2020: Barnes, ERod (extend), Hembree, Moreland & Perez.

    Sometimes, there can be a thin line. I'd kind of lean towards using DHern as the starter/opener, but I admit I'm no expert of the matter.
  13. moonslav59
    I've suggested several trade to Matz and D. Smith. I even suggested one where we take Familai's contract to lessen the return needed. I'd give JBJ, Chavis and Houck for Matz, Smith & Marisnik.

    I read somewhere that other teams are adopting the start em slow philosophy.

    Sometimes arm injuries do heal.

    Good to see Eovaldi look good, today and all spring.

    Sale throws.... Chris Sale throws live BP session WWW.MLB.COM FORT MYERS, Fla. -- As the ball towered off the bat of Red Sox prospect Josh Ockimey and crashed off the netting beyond the right-field fence, ace Chris Sale dead-panned, “I guess we’ll end on that one.” Behind the batting cage, where just about the entire Boston pitching staff huddled

    With all due respect... hogwash.
  19. moonslav59
    I'm thinking lower. Downs is our #1 or 2 and Wong is #12-20th.
  20. moonslav59
    I wonder what it would have been without Downs & Wong.
  21. moonslav59
    I agree. He has always been a fierce competitor, and this added incentive to show greatness can't hurt.
  22. moonslav59
    I can't believe it's March already. We are just weeks from opening day! Despite all our troubles and and high need areas, I'm excited about watching the Sox this coming year.

    MLBTR... Martin Perez was courted this offseason by both the Rays and Red Sox, ultimately signing with the Red Sox on a one-year, $6MM deal just before Christmas. Perez, a client of OL Baseball Group LLC, felt strongly about joining the Red Sox, even going so far as to tell his agent that even if the Rays offered more money, he preferred signing in Boston, per The Athletic’s Chad Jennings. Perez’s most recent body of work hardly suggest he’s worthy of a bidding war – bidding skirmish, say – but Jennings provides an insightful quote from Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom, who says of Perez, “Basically, we felt two things. One, the stuff and the underlying way in which he pitched deserved better results than he got. And two, that there were further tweaks we could help him make to his repertoire to make him even more effective.”

    I'd rather trade Chavis than Dalbec.
