  1. That’s more than I thought he’d get. Hopefully the Sox are not sticking to staying under the tax limit. They still need a SP, RP (CL?) and a CF...
  2. Maybe Benintendi will not be in Boston...
  3. Why? The Sox are loaded with lesser arms already...
  4. Ozuna will cut much deeper into the pitching budget than Kike Hernandez...
  5. The issue of course is what team would want Downs and be willig to ive up a SP for him. Per BTV, he has a similar trade value to Aaron Civale (Cle), Trevor Rogers (Mia), Justus Sheffield (Sea), Dylan Cease (Tex), Brady Singer (KC), Brad Keller (KC), and Lance McCullers. Now how many of these teams would make the named pitcher available for a minor league 2B prospect? You might be able to get McCullers, as he has only one year left on his deal...
  6. Plenty of options still exist...
  7. That late season BABIP really paid off for him, I guess...
  8. Chavis and Arroyo are equal levels of crapshoot. I only give Arroyo the advantage due to defense...
  9. Exactly. I'm not sure what all the uproar is about. We knew Sale was a second half candidate at best almost a year ago...
  10. I just got this alert on my phone. RIP Hammerin' Hank...
  11. I think Dalbec is perfectly capable of an equal swoon. Even with his hot start, he has shown he has a lot more swing and miss in his game than Chavis had. And as pitchers make some adjustments to Dalbec, such a swoon is certainly a possibility. Like I said, I am not wild about Chavis, but his swoon consists of 480 PA spread out over 2 seasons. I think it's a bit early to say he cannot and will not ever adjust to anything...
  12. Hopefully opening day is not the deadline. Pitchers and catchers re[port in 3 weeks. So maybe having a few pitchers on board by then would be a good idea...
  13. Not really news. They should use a conservative approach...
  14. Signed him to a one year deal...
  15. So... players get one season to adjust? And then why are people so high on Dalbec? After 92 PA, Dalbec had .959 OPS, 8 HR, 39K/10BB After 91 PA, Chavis had .999 OPS, 7 HR, 24K/14BB
  16. I think he could be the starting 1B in Pittsburgh, but I think the strategy for the Sox boils down to not trading away younger players for established veterans...
  17. I'm as down on Chavis as anyone, but at some point we should probably acknowledge his career consists of just 540 plate appearances. That's just one season's worth of PA...
  18. And then all he will need is a position...
  19. The whole "all in" tyhing basically means they are not unloading the farm for missing pieces. There are still plenty of free agent players thy can bring on board, either long term or for short/flip deals.
  20. Morton maybe. Smyly rarely even lasts to the break, so he is a poor option there. Worth pointing out they did do that with Perez...
  21. He’s the type of pitcher you’re better off having and not needing instead of needing and not having...
  22. Of those four, Pivetta is the guy with the highest ceiling. It’s just a matter of him reaching it. Happ is 38 and is trending like a 38yo. He could easily finish with the worst season of those four...
  23. Based on anything besides pinstripes?
  24. That “depth guy” was worth 3.2 fWAR in 2018...
