And yet the Red Sox took Josh Rutledge that way...
-
Technically we don’t lose anybody until the Rule 5 draft…
-
Whether or not Kike is the “best Sox centerfielder of all time” is a moot point. He’s the best centerfielder they have today…
-
Well, didn’t that depends who else is unprotected? A lot of teams have roster crunches this time of year and leave good prospects exposed…
-
That was my post. And I’m context, I only said Downs would be promoted over non-40 man player Ryan Fitzgerald. It had nothing to do with Bogaerts and Devers…
-
Fans do that with any player. “Players A and b were up at 20.” Or “ That other team promoted their prospects. Why don’t the Sox?” Because it’s not all equal everywhere!!
-
IThe last two offseasons have moved along at glacial paces. I fully expect this one to as well, but so far, even the small amount of activity to date has been surprising...
-
Think he still gets to play OF?
-
I mistook the dates. The bottom line is it took him a long time to get going, but he did get going...
-
Those situations were completely different. Taillon was frequently injured and eligible for arbitration for the second time, and was getting more and more expensive, and had missed all of 2020 with his second TJ surgery. And was only controlled for 2 years. Reynolds shows up for work every day and still makes minimum wage for another year, and is not eligible for free agency for 4 more years. If the Yankees want Reynolds, the price will definitely include at least one player you don't want to give up...
-
I doubt he comes back, but if he does, it won't be as a DH for 2022. He'll need a glove for at least one year...
-
Agreed. I am still waiting for the Sox to be linked to Cesar Hernandez, who makes more sense than Taylor for a slew of reasons....
-
Still listing Gettys as an outfielder, I see ...
-
And a lot of guys had massive setbacks in 2021 as well. Just because not everyone was affected doesn't mean no one was. Even you pointed out Downs didn't get going until July, and has been doing very well in the AFL lately...
-
Schwarber in LF, Verdugo to CF, Hernandez to 2B. They could fit him in, but it's not exactly a stellar defensive outfield...
-
Neither Bogaerts nor Devers ever had a missed minor league season due to a pandemic...
-
Lopez might not even be with the Sox organization come March...
-
From the same year? No, those Rule 5 guys get returned all the time.
-
Kelly over Feltman? They had very similar years, but Kelly was an unknown and Feltman has been a disappointment since draft day. Still, just because Feltman never lived up to the hype doesn't make his Zack Kelly-esque numbers last year worse than Kelly's...
-
I also put Plawecki up there, because if the Sox keep Cottam, that's just too many catchers on the 40 man roster. Plawecki is a fine backup catcher, but so are a lot of players. And I think Connor Wong could easily be among them...
-
Well, yes, but there was no 2020 in between the two season he played there. I am all for giving Jeter Downs a do-over for how missing 2020 clearly affected him (among other factors). Therefore I am extending that same courtesy to Potts. For one more season only. And maybe not a full one...
-
Sure but what if Downs is still batting .370 in July and Arroyo injures himself, probably by brushing his teeth too aggressively. He might get a call, but that was not my point. My point was Downs, call-up or not, is ahead of Fitzgerald in Bloom's cyber-Rolodex. And also in the alphabet. The thing about Arauz is he cna go back and forth between Boston and Worcester. Iglesias is not a replacement for Arauz; he would be a replacement for Arroyo...
-
Would you DFA Potts over Austin Davis? While having an open spot on the 40 man is necessary to make a rule 5 pick, you also have to have an open spot on the 26 man roster to keep him...
-
One thing we all seem to agree on is that if any minor leaguer gets DFA'd off the 40 man roster, it should be Potts. I certainly hope Bloom is also in agreement with us as well. I do think however, Potts might get a mulligan because missing 2020 might not have helped him out much. There will be some players who simply fell behind due to the pandemic and they might get one more chance.
-
THe thing is, whether or not Fitzgerald is ahead of Munoz or the reverse, both are behind Arroyo and Arauz on the utility infielder depth charts. And after today, we might even put the name Jeter Downs on that list, because he will be more likely to get a short-term call-up than Fitzgerald simply by being on the 40 man roster...
