  1. And the reason we do not have enough starters is two of our two 5 have shown the inability to pitch a full season these past few years. So why are we forcing them into roles where they have to?
  2. Or Richards...
  3. Well, the Sox need his stellar RF and hitting abilities. The insanity just makes those skills more affordable...
  4. Puig? He’s like a combination of Dwight Evans and King George III...
  5. If “his wad” was a $7mill AAV contract, then maybe expectations need to be lowered in the face of an obvious budget crunch...
  6. Sign Puig! He’s like Ozuna, but less money and more crazy!!
  7. Robert Osuna and his torn UCL are not part of the solution. Bloom reportedly has no budget. This means he is not allowed to sign Springer or Bauer...
  8. It’s a simple site that compares future values of players based on projected performance and salary. It’s a simple model, and basically it says “the more money a player makes, the harder he is to trade.” Not sure why so many try to criticize this simple model and think they have better ones. Teams themselves undoubtedly have their own models, but I bet they don’t function all that much differently...
  9. Think Jarrod Parker, a mega-talented pitcher whose career was derailed due to requiring the surgery so many times that a case could be made for renaming it Jarrod Parker Surgery...
  10. If Taillon was “gonna be a Porcello”, he wouldn’t be recovering from an injury in the first place...
  11. Why get both Pillar and Marisnick? I could see Almora (BABIP-fueled bounce back/breakout?) over one of them. But if the Sox need a 4th OF, Arroyo or Chavis can be used to push Kike out there...
  12. I’d love to get John Means from them...
  13. I’d like to see them sign enough pitchers to push Brice and Valdez to Worcester. (Does Brice have options? If not, then DFA.)
  14. Hernandez has averaged 248 PA/fWAR over the past 3 seasons. Jurickson Profar has averaged 271PA/fWAR over the past 3 years. Both players received $7mill AAV, but Hernandez got fewer years despite performing slightly better...
  15. Porcello has averaged nearly 6 IP per start over the last 3 seasons...
  16. So add RP/CL - Colome? CF - Marisnick? Pillar? Almora? DeShields? Danny Santana? Maybin? Brian Goodwin? LHH BN - Moreland? Miller? Shaw? Jake Lamb? Santana? Derek Dietrich?
  17. Probably worth noting that soxprospects.com thinks Houck is now in the rotation at Worcester, which actually makes sense. The Sox are going to need depth starters with this rotation...
  18. I do like the idea. But the Sox also need relief pitching. Although adding Richards could help by pushing Houck to the pen. If the Sox sign Porcello, maybe Pivetta to the bullpen?
  19. So you’re saying Bloom is like that friend in high school who was on Honor Society but got half of them to try weed?
  20. Reportedly the Pirates want upside in this trade and not MLB proximity. So maybe Dominguez is headed to Pitt? (Don’t sweat it Yankee fans. In 8 years or so he will reach free agency and you can sign him back.)
  21. Taillon would be a great get for any team. While BTV gives him a relatively low value, JT’s combination of ability, years of control, and age could help a lot of other teams get involved and make him a tough acquisition. But unlike Castillo, he won’t cost Torres..
  22. Ok but the Sox still need a reliever (or two, IMHO) and a CF. Now if the $30 mill budget was accuate, that leaves $13 mill plus whatever was deferred in Hernandez’ deal...
  23. Also Price is still owed $15mill...
