  1. Porcello has averaged nearly 6 IP per start over the last 3 seasons...
  2. 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?
  3. 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...
  4. 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?
  5. 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?
  6. 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.)
  7. 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..
  8. 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...
  9. Also Price is still owed $15mill...
  10. During that first off-season when Theo used the phrase “bridge year”, he also signed John Lackey. But a lot of people got caught up in the phrase itself and made it a much bigger deal than it ever should have been..
  11. Not me. Now if they signed him for 6 years $150 mill, I’d call Bloom on it....
  12. The conundrum is that good players can get so expensive, teams can only afford so many. A team with a good farm system can afford more of them as they would have more minimum wage players. But the Sox do not have that luxury. So have they reached their current limit of $20mill+ players? I think they have 3 in Bogaerts, Martinez and Sale...
  13. I started one, but it got injured...
  14. Maybe they will go over? Also we don’t know what was deferred on Kike’s deal...
  15. I’m ok with that, too.
  16. Including a 3 HR game in the postseason against the Cubs...
  17. So if Bloom: 1. Signs Odorizzi 2. Deals Benintendi for Inciarte and, say, Kyle Wright Is that enough? Inciarte CF Verdugo RF Bogaerts SS Devers 3b Martinez DH Dalbec 1b Renfroe LF Vazquez C Hernandez 2b ERod, Odorizzi, Eovaldi, Perez, Pivetta Barnes, Brasier, Hernandez, Taylor, Houck, Andriese, Whitlock, Wright?/Brice?/Valdez? BN: Plawecki,Arroyo, LHH bat (Miller? Moreland?),4th OF?
  18. Extra $12 mil? The deal only counts as $7mill AAV towards the tax limit, which is what matters. And that will drop more depending on how much is deferred.
  19. Ohhhhhh ... Hernandez was the third CF. Ok. Honestly Verdugo is the only internal option on the 40 man roster...
  20. I’m more on board with a quarter than 10 times. But will Holt do as well and at what point is the savings worth it? It’s not like the difference between the two would be enough to sign Ozuna...
  21. I also think his versatility makes him a fit in 2022 if Downs takes over 2b...
  22. If the Sox move Benintendi, an OF of Ozuna-Verdugo-Renfroe works for me. It does seem odd that the Sox would acquire a platoon bat for Benintendi and then trade Benintendi anyway...
  23. The only guy on the Sox who might be a CF is Verdugo. I don’t like Benintendi in CF, and not sure who h the he third CF is. I’d love to add Ozuna. Per MLBTR, the Sox are “interested” in him. But that doesn’t mean much...
  24. I am assuming they are already up. Eovaldi and Richards could take down TWO rotation spots at once very easily...
  25. I don’t think Bradley is anymore, but maybe someone like Marisnick or Almora might be...
