I thought Pom and Kimbrel would both be good, but I still felt we gave up too much. We traded for 3 playoff cycles of Pom. He didn't do much last year at the end of the year. He had a great season this year. He's got one year left. Kimbrel was not that great last year, but he was the best this year. He's got one year left. DD certainly looks good on these two trades, but if these two fall off next year, and we don't win a ring, I think the results of the players we traded away will be looked at much more closely going forward.
-
Even budget hawks think DD can spend close to $40M (per year) this winter.
-
Thanks. I was hoping for pitch counts, but SO 543 in 85 games (6.4 IP /game) DK 1424 in 209 games (6.8 IP/game)
-
Yes, I expect he starts for the DWS this summer. Maybe 1.5 years.
-
Kopech wasn't far from ML ready.
-
One big concern with Dice-K was how many pitched he had thrown in Japan before coming here. What's the scoop on S. O. in that area?
-
If I had to bet the west coast field vs the Yanks, I'd take the west coast.
-
Well, Hosmer or More(-of-the-same-)land. e
-
Yes. I read on soxprospects.com it was just a minor injury. No guns involved.
-
And vice versa.
-
Plus, we're not even sure his poor recent performance is related to pitcher adjustments or injury. The last time he was 100% healthy, he was hitting pretty well.
-
You could be right. Most big signings like this fail- several from year 1. I wasn't thrilled when we signed him, but I understood why we did it. We did need an ace, and trading prospects for one just causes future issues.
-
Agreed. The risk is not that high. The rewards could be very nice.
-
Most good teams, even high paying teams, sign a few low cost players they hope will be bargains. They try not to rely on one to fill a key role, but sometimes it ends up working out that way.

Yes, Smith and Elias for Miley. Elias had some success in Seattle (ML club) before the trade.
-
I've barely seen him play, but his defensive numbers lookpretty good. UZR/150 +9.5 (+3.1 career) +1 DRS (career 14 DRS)
-
Agreed, and he's younger. His defense is better as well.
-
My list of top Sox DFA candidates: 1. Owens 2. Jerez 3. Elias 4. Holt ($2M arb projectred) or Marrero (out of options) 5. Taylor/Buttrey/Shepherd (Trade Swihart, Hembree or Lin?)
-
Those are pretty good numbers vs RHPs. He'll be 29 next year. Maybe he can platoon some with Travis and some with HRam. They're talking about him maybe being non-tendered, so he might not coast much in trade.
-
Not me. I'd have DFA'd Owens already and protected someone else on rule 5.
-
2017 per 650 PAs: vs RHPs: .295 36 113 (.342/.554/.896) vs LHPs: .180 30 116 (.206/.377/.583) Looks like a good platoon player. (Career vs RHPs: 287 27 96 with an .828 OPS)
-
I agree- maybe right below Owens on the DFA list.
-
soxprospects.com had a podcast that stated the Sox were planning on using Elias out of the pen.
-
The talk was he was going to be in the pen next season.
