  1. Also worth noting, both Cannon and Castellanos would be more famous with the first name “Nick”…
  2. It could only be for Berrios…
  3. Minor leaguers get pulled from the starting lineup every day. But in July, this suddenly becomes big news.. One tip - if it’s Marcus Wilson being pulled, don’t get too worked up. Any trade involving him is not likely to be a blockbuster…
  4. The problem with acting now is it takes turn teams to trade. Tans in selling mode often like to wait out best offers. So if a team wants to act early, they often have to overpay…
  5. Greinke? Verlander?
  6. I only called for his demotion, not DFA. But if he didn’t have options, then, yes I would have called for his DFA in April…
  7. He’s high on their prospect list but he isn’t so much of a prospect that they would completely forego everyone else who played the position. The Tigers do understand that prospects bust, and the ONLY protection against that is more prospects. You’re right he’s 22, but he turns 23 in like 7 weeks…
  8. Who? Catching is actually a massive void in their system. Unless you were referring to Dillon Dingler, the only catcher BA had in their top 30 prospects as of May. However, the 23yo former Ohio State Buckeye is struggling in AA and is considered to be at least 2 years away. Or were you referring to 2021 #1 overall draft pick Henry Davis? Probably worth noting 1) he hasn’t signed yet and 2) he was drafted by the Pirates, not the Tigers.
  9. If I was an MLB GM (please!!!), I’d take Groome in a trade over Ward right now. And I am far from a Groome fan…
  10. Ward is coming off TJ and has never pitched above A ball. It’s very unlikely anyone picks him. We focus on Ward because he looks like a good pitching talent. But every organization has some A ball pitcher equivalent to Ward. He hasn’t done anything so special yet to deserve being picked in the rule 5 draft…
  11. Garrett Cooper and Jon Gray.
  12. The Marlins haven’t even been around 50 years and they’ve developed and traded away Miguel Cabrera Josh Beckett Giancarlo Stanton Christian Yelich I think a lot of teams could have equally impressive lists over a 50 year stretch (You also left out Schilling.)
  13. When you openly voice that the only way to win is by spending, it feels a tad hypercritical to hold against those not allowed to spend for the lack of winning…
  14. Potts alone can get that…
  15. With only 2 runs scored!! He’s dragging everyone down!!
  16. Well, “afford” in baseball often means “doesn’t want to pay.” ..
  17. Impressive players, but I think a lot of teams can find 5 equally impressive players dealt away in a 50 year stretch…
  18. The price is higher if injuries set in….
  19. And why is “5 tool guys” so important? I’d take Tony Gwynn over Shaun Green every opportunity…
  20. Bagwell, too, since he only mentioned organization and made no reference to playing in Boston…
  21. And why Fred Lynn in the first place? Do people think Lynn was better than Betts?
  22. No one will give Rodon anywhere near $200 million. The guy is a walking Injured List. He has 230 IP in the previous 4 years combined. If you want to argue his current performance will lead to a massive overpayment, that’s one thing. But his health issues will hold him back. Eovaldi was under 30 when he reached free agency and a World Series hero to boot and he didn’t come anywhere near $200 mill. Or even $100mill…
  23. Are the Sox facing any pitchers who throw beach balls?
  24. The Sox just spent 2 1/2 years making Duran learn the OF. Not likely they switch him back to IF so quickly. Especially if they moved him off 2b in the first place because they didn’t like his defense there…
  25. . Schiraldi was actually very effective in the role…
