  1. I think the idea is their mismanagement title might help us dupe them. We have a boat load of everyday prospects. It should not go against our long term plan to build for the future by trading young everyday players/prospects for a young pitcher.
  2. I'm not convinced he will never spend again, either, but I'm not counting on it, ever again.
  3. Lifetime burger and shake coupon?
  4. I'm not sure why we only get a low ranked prospect for Pivetta, unless he struggles between now and the deadline. Since May 25th, 2023 (over a year ago) only 10 pitchers have an ERA- better than Nick's 72 (102 pitchers with 130+ IP) For the FIP fans, this might blow you away: xFIP- leaders since 5/28/23: 62 Skubal 63 Glasnow 71 Pivetta 71 Webb 72 Strider SIERA 2.72 Skubal 2.83 Pivetta 2.88 Glasnow 3.04 Strider His 2.7 fWAR in this time is equal to Houck's. I think you guys are undervaluing this guy.
  5. At some point, we might see Mayer, Anthony an Teel promoted to AAA. Yoshida & Heineman to MLB (Dalbec & Westbrook to AAA) Meidroth back to 3B Romero to SS at AAA Rosario to C at AA or just go with Marrero & Donlan at C Jh Garcia to OF in AA (Bleis just moved up to GRE) Maybe Zanetello to GRE McElveny to co-C at GRE Cespedes to SS at SAL
  6. Yorke Nick Yorke settling in offensively at Triple-A WWW.MLB.COM This story was excerpted from Ian Browne’s Red Sox Beat newsletter. To read the full newsletter, click here. And subscribe to get it regularly in your inbox.
  7. How many times were we pretty close to the Yanks, and not only did we not get the big prize FA, the Yanks did, and pulled 2 stars ahead.
  8. Players have gone unpaid?
  9. It was treated like a business before JH, too. Maybe more so, at times. They never made that one key big purchase to get us over the top. They chose to stay just good enough to keep fan interest.
  10. The notification of the trade was indeed a fiasco. We traded him at the right time. He was about to decline. His numbers with pitchers, when compared to his back-up, were worrisome, to say the least.
  11. Expect all you want, but expectations should be tied to reality, and the reality is, JH ain't spending. Wish for it, want it, pray for it, believe we can and should do it, but expecting it is denying the reality.
  12. Then what does your 15-20 mean?
  13. Those 108 included 8 PAs as a PH and 4 as a DH. GMs wishes aside, he was not really the starting Catcher.
  14. I think Duran and Devers deserve to be subs. Houck is a lock, as of now.
  15. I suggested 2 or 3 players for a prospect or two. I'm not seeing how that suggests Pivetta for 2 prospects. My post: What can we realistically get for Pivetta & Jansen? We could maybe add O'Neill and Martin, if they are showing value, or even McGuire, if a team needs a catcher or back-up catcher. Maybe a package of Pivetta, Jansen and McGuire can get us a decent ML ready prospect or two. You replied on Pivetta only as a 15-20 prospect "maybe." Sounds low to me.
  16. Pivetta: minor league arms, 15-20 on a team's prospect list maybe
  17. Those Garcia brothers could be poised for big jumps, next season, assuming healthy.
  18. He's been better on D. Better than sucky is not saying he's good. He's already at over 2/3 of the innings as 2023. dWAR o.o v -0.5 in '23 (B-R) DRS: -1 vs -6 in '23 UZR/150: +5.1 v -7.4 in '23 OAA (fangraphs): -1 v -4 in '23 Looks considerably better but still not good,
  19. I coulda sworn the numbers I gave was what B-R had over his last 18 IP, but you are right. Take away Pivetta's worst game and he has a 2.54 ERA- worth only low prospect, according to MVP.
  20. He's always had major BB issues, and I think the 48 IP in AA, last year got everyone overly excited, despite the 28 BBs. I guess guys from 15-30 are not far apart, anyway.
  21. I heard that podcast. Very worrisome, if he ever makes the bigs.
  22. Top 7 prospects on many contenders is not all that good. BTW, BA had Valdez 12 and Abreu 21, but some felt Abreu was the better prospect. (I'm not asking for 2 prospects.) BTW, Vaz was not their starting catcher after the trade.
  23. He's getting 2 days extra rest, next start, but I do think they might want to limit these 7 IP starts, going forward. All we need is a Houck injury.
  24. I'd say.... 95% Houck 85% Devers 50% Duran 20% Wong 10% Slaten 5% Crawford 1% Abreu & Jansen
