    I made a post a while back comparing Fangraphs Future Values to Sox prospects of equal FV and one iteration of an equivalent package was Casas and Houck. Now as the FV values are not really all that definitive, I can’t for certain say that was the only way to get Rizzo, but what became obvious was that deal would have put a major dent in the Sox farm for two months of a first baseman whose OPS was under .800 at the time…
  2. notin
    Scherzer alone might have cost us Casas plus. But what probably hurt was not having any MLB ready pitching prospects…
  3. notin
    It was somewhat understanding in the off-season, since they had no idea of or when Sale would return. I can see holding back with the ace still in question. At the deadline, it made zero sense. Unless Henry just plans to stay under for a long time…
  4. notin
    Agreed. Especially now…
  5. notin
    Who? Seth Green? I will admit he only got to read for the part because he has the same initials…
  6. notin
    Exactly. Casas is very likely no Bagwell, but should he have been dealt for the 2021 version of Larry Andersen?

    Check out the strength of schedule since, and factor in two lucky wins off Barnes. My point is that the “morale” thing is a myth. Some players might care, but there are very few broad brushes that can be applied to everyone. Not to mention, the losing started a couple days earlier…

    Or … he said “the mediocre players that were the best we could get for our best prospects just weren’t worth it.” It really depends on how you read into it.
  9. notin
    He did read for Swihart’s Ghost. But we’re writing that part out..
  10. notin
    Exactly. But you need to dish some out. Remember it’s “Both. Si-moo-tay-knee-us-Lee”…
  11. notin
    Yeah it really lit a fire under the Blue Jays…
  12. notin
    Sorry. We had to include your character, mostly because Rob Schneider already signed on to work for scale. And by scale, I mean he just wanted a trailer to sleep under…

    Andrew Velazquez..

    No. When they finally make the Talk Sox miniseries, I will NOT be portrayed by Chris Conner. My people are in talks with Kit Harrington and, if that falls through, Tony Shaloub…

    Speaking of Devers, his 1 for 10 in the Bronx is a something this team cannot afford right now.
  16. notin
    Yes, but Schwarber would have allowed them to move Verdugo to CF permanently, which was important with Arroyo out and Kike needed at 2b It also gave them a Plan B (Schwarber to 1b) if no satisfying trade for Duran could be found…
  17. notin
    Both. Preferably simultaneously..
  18. notin
    I was wondering that day if the acquisition of Schwarber was done so because the Sox wanted to see what they d could get for Duran.
  19. notin
    Can’t speak for everyone but I come here for the torture…
  20. notin
    I think that’s because of his weird diet. Apparently he eats nothing but Takis…
  21. notin
    Well, we did acquire a hitter who is still among the top ten in NL home runs despite not playing for an NL team for the last 7 weeks…
  22. notin
    He’s made one start in the past 23 months. I think we know what he is capable of…
  23. notin
    The Blue Jays went in pretty heavy at the deadline and have only gone 11-8 since, which means they are potentially just 2 Matt Barnes meltdowns away from having a losing record over that stretch. And this has been against a lot of really soft teams…
  24. notin
    If the Sox make the postseason, one advantage they have is they might be able to use Chris Sale twice in a short series. Really no their team in the AL has a pitcher like that. Cole could be in the argument, but he hasn’t been the same since Spider Tack Gate (a name that sounds suspiciously close to a legendary haunted cemetery in Worcester)…
  25. notin
    But then we’d have missed that painful reminder that ended the game about how important defense is. Also, game 1 showed us the Sox baserunning failures as well…
