  1. What does it say about the Jays' pitching that they are claiming rejects from the Red Sox?
  2. Jake Marisnick is basically Billy Hamilton. Hamilton does steal more, but Marisnick cheats...
  3. Won't be Marisnick, who just signed with the Cubs.,..
  4. The big issue with this deal is Benintendi made himself expendable. Had he continued on his 2018 pace, he was more in line for an extension than being trade bait. Cordero was always one of those guys scouts loved but was never able to put anything together, largely due to his frequent injuries. He's not the prospect Austin Meadows was with Pitt, but it's the same idea Bloom went after a guy that he should be capable of more than what he has done. Although Cordero is not as young as Meadows was when Bloom traded for him, but also had fewer at-bats...
  5. That is the plan, but it also should not necessarily mean making the team unwatchable for another year...
  6. The Sox only saved roughly $3mill, which is probably not enough to bring on Odorizzi. And they still need another outfielder...
  7. Well, they are not down the full $5mill for Benintendi, but if it leads to Odorizzi, this is a clever move. But if not, it was a definite low sell on Benintendi...
  8. And his MLB debut was in Petco, which can suppress some hitting stats...
  9. Cordero is a major leaguer. He's actually a pretty good player. That said, I would not like a deal of just him and Winckowski - whom I never heard of but does not appearto be much statisticaly - for Benintendi, as it is a definite low sell...
  10. From MLBTR 8:35pm: It seems there are still some moving pieces to this arrangement. The Sox stand to acquire several additional players in addition to those already reported, Chad Jennings of The Athletic tweets.
  11. Cordero can play CF...
  12. The article on MLBTR refers to Cordero as “part of the return.”
  13. For those wondering about Cordero Big time power. Big time speed. Big time throwing arm. Big time strikeouts...
  14. No pitching? And what are the Mets sending where?
  15. Well, I guess Bloom wasn’t done...
  16. He's like the Spanish Inquisition. (Waits patiently)....
  17. Worse than 1986? One out away?
  18. Also this poll is straight up popular vote. There is no mucking about with made up things like the Electoral College, which is what they use to steal the elections. And this vote had no attack adds. I don't remember seeing any commercial in which 84-86 wins told me if I vote for 64-69 wins, I will lose my rights, my guns will be taken away, and the entire season will devolve into Socialism. Or was that nepotism?
  19. And the ramifications are greater...
  20. A second attempt at the Travis Shaw experiment? The remaining 2B FA do not thrill me more than just trying Chavis/Arroyo/Munoz
  21. I've been saying that for months!!
  22. No more so than Kluber, Richards, Yates, Wainwright, Desclafini, Smyly and a slew of other signed pitchers...
  23. Available free agents high on my list for the Sox: Keone Kela - who has expressed interest via Instagram in playing for Alex Cora. (He might not run his own account) Brandon Workman Yasiel Puig - OK, there is definite baggage, Kevin Pillar - Hey, Bloom has signed him before. Jake Odorizzi - but I think he is by far the most unlikely. Still if you;re building for 2022, getting a mid-rotation All Star starter for 3 years is an excellent step.
  24. February 10th and Jake Odorizzi, James Paxton and Taijuan Walker are still without jobs....
  25. Ryan Weber, who I am definitely not a fan of, is better option than Kyle Hart. Hart is simply not an MLB pitcher. At least Weber is one every now and then..
