    Yes. Too many found memories of Scott Downs...

    The thing is, if the Sox are really building for 2022, why wait? Their window is primarily built on Sale. So waiting too long is a bad, bad thing...

    But that’s his best selling point!!

    So? Your responses are no longer making sense and one gets the impression you’re just trying to aggravate people. Last year, Ryan Weber started the third game of the season. His status has changed. This was painfully clear in the response. It’s like someone asking “are the Mariners ok in CF?” And you’re response “yes, they have the reigning rookie of the year in Kyle Lewis.” And then the person comes back with “but they kept Braden Bishop for a reason”...

    With the Mets’ signing of Albert Almora, are they still contenders for Bradley? If not, who are his remaining suitors?
  6. notin
    Big deal. Until he crosses it, it might as well be a firm mandate. And what does “not a firm mandate” mean anyway? That it was a polite request? As in John Henry saying “Chaim, I’m not telling you how to do your job, but I want you to know that I specifically will NOT be telling you to stay under the limit, whether you think it’s good for your career or not.”

    Not sure why Casas, Downs and Duran are the three players the Sox should be tanking seasons to wait for the arrival of. Chances are they’re average at best, and it’s always possible some or all 3 just don’t pan out...
  8. notin
    Added ERod, Richards, Sale (partial), Pivetta. Subtracted Godley, Weber, Mazza, Brewer (yes he was 6th on the Sox in starts last year), Hart, etc...

    I don’t see the Sox taking a chance on Bryant, who 1) makes $18mill 2) has ONE YEAR until free agency 3) is repped by Scott Boras 4) isn’t signing an extension because this is a player/agent combination that tried to sue the Cubs over service time manipulation and 5) cannot pitch...

    Does that include some Sale and how much?
  11. notin
    Globe Life Park in Arlington (as well as Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago) is actually more home run friendly than Fenway. And a pull-hitting Mazara (28.1% the other way does not make him much of an opposite field hitter) would probably lose home runs in the cavernous RF at Fenway, especially since he is not a power hitter. He’s a league average hitter and league average fielder. He was not non-tendered by one team and traded away for a minor leaguer by another all by the age of 25 because he is loaded with talent and potential. But he is 25 and might turn it around. And the Sox could do worse...

    What about for both Trevor Rosenthal and Keone Kela?
  13. notin
    The Yanks are tops at everything? Must be Spring Training again...
  14. notin
    While technically Mazara’s .589 OPS is an upgrade over Benintendi’s .442 from last year, it’s not something worth getting excited about...
  15. notin
    League average hitter and league average fielder. Not the most exciting choice, but the Sox could do worse. His .781 OPS vs RHP is not ideal platoon material....
  16. notin
    Is it that different between going over for Price as opposed to going over for Odorizzi?
  17. notin
    Maybe the Sox should deal for Price and have LA pay a portion of what is left on the deal. Already for committed for half, so he does represent a cheap upgrade at this point...
  18. notin
    Or deal for Price, who is looking a tad too expensive to have to fight for a spot in a crowded Dodger rotation...
  19. notin
    And DD for his off-season complacency...
  20. notin
    As long as it is someone like Ryan Weber, and not Ryan Weber. If I had to guess, I think that job falls currently on Matt Andriese....
  21. notin
    Yes that’s the Yankee Off-season Thread, where all the chronically injured players magically recover simultaneously, and using their combined pure hearts and good will, come together to form a giant cohesive unstoppable baseball team. Or am I thinking of Voltron?
  22. notin
    I don’t think he read it at all...

    The Sox played in the same number of World Series with Lynn as they did with Henderson. I get the point, but too many say “this is not a championship caliber team.” Which most times simply means “this roster does not match my narrow-minded interpretation of the only winning formula.” I just want a watchable team. This is my primary form of entertainment and damnit, it needs to be entertaining. That doesn’t mean it needs to be loaded with All Star talent at 8 positions and 3 rotation spots. It doesn’t mean it needs a Hall of Famer. But can I watch this team every night knowing they have a chance? Last year’s team was overmatched, and we all knew very early on. Some understood why. But how many think this team as it stands now can be entertaining (subjective, I know) through September? Or better yet, October?

    Why do people think Bradley is coming back when every single article about him says they’re not?
  25. notin
    Ozuna to Atlanta
