Yes, there are several reasons not to. His MiLB track record. His subpar defense. Etc., etc. Should service time really be one? (I know it is, but should it be?)
-
That's so Seattle Mariners baseball. The Sox do have a good argument for holding Duran back a few weeks since his MiLB numbers above A ball were weak and his MiLB numbers in A ball were carried by a very high BABIP...
-
Well, the implication was that it was Kris Bryant. But you have to remember we’re talking about the PTBNL for Josh Osich...
-
Sox acquire Bryant from Cubs!!! https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/02/red-sox-acquire-zach-bryant-from-cubs.html
-
That was the point. That the decline started before Bloom even got here...
-
Mata will probably have to not suck in AA before he makes it. I have seen some lists than have Jarren Duran as an Honorable Mention. But not Mata...
-
Also, he DID ACQUIRE one year guys. Richard, Perez, Ottavino. Just because he did not acquire them all doesn’t mean he didn’t do it. And was 38yo Charlie Morton really going to sign with a rebuilding team?
-
I question how much of it is slowing development vs burning a year of service time. It’s one thing to promote a 19yo or 20yo, but once players reach an age and physical development slows or stops, maybe they’re in a spot where the only way we can know if they can hit MLB pitching is to have them actually face MLB pitching. And as this team is a borderline contender at best, it’s not like a struggling Duran will rank the season...
-
Ok so Bellhorn is in for $1.09. Who else?
-
The Yankees might be the team to beat in the AL, but the White Sox are perfectly capable of doing so...
-
Let’s pass the hat...
-
Agreed on both counts...
-
The more I think about (which is admittedly not much), I would be OK with Duran opening the season in CF. He might flop, but CF is one of their deepest positions throughout the organization. If they wait too long on Duran, at some point Rosario and/or Jimenez could be knocking on the door as well. This could be a good problem to have, but if they start experimenting now it’s not necessarily a bad thing...
-
Well, we don’t really know what DD was allowed to spend after 2018, but I do think he did some unwise spending (Eovaldi). Bloom it appears was not allowed any increase in net spending and was charged with reducing payroll...
-
In fact, the Red Sox took a bigger step down (.148 point drop on winning pct.) from 2018 to 2019 than they did from 2019 to 2020 (.119 point drop in winning percentage)...
-
It still doesn’t mean the Sox have a better chance at the postseason with Duran over Bradley. Duran might be the more likely player at this point, but that’s only because he’s already here...
-
There is no truth that a younger untried player increases the Sox chances of making the post-season more than adding Bradley does. Even if said younger player, whom I presume is Duran, has a true breakout season, which is the strawman portion of the point...
-
And at least one complete surprise nobody will put up stellar numbers throughout spring training in an attempt to make an impression, and many fans will claim he needs to be on the team. Any guesses about who? I'll nominate Michael Gettys...
-
You also thought they were the clear best in the AL last year after they signed Cole...
-
And yet he is still playing. I'd have thought he would have quit baseball to eat full time by now...
-
Rice did play up until 1989, and he was third in MVP balloting as late as 1986.
-
But how many of those incentives will Paxton reach if he has a 2.7 fWAR season?
-
As much as I would like to see the Sox add someone like Odorizzi, at what point does signing someone like him just make trading Price look like a bad move? Odorizzi might cost a $14mill AAV, but with the Sox already committing $15mill to Price, I have to wonder if simply holding on to Price (which then costs the Sox only $2 mill more) would have been the right move. Is Odorizzi going to be better than Price over the next couple seasons? If not, you're essentially paying the same thing for a lesser pitcher...
-
German is the Yasiel Puig of the pitching world. So far, teams aren’t lining up to sign Puig...
-
Maybe they can trade him to Tampa for another prospect...
