Enlighten me on this rumor…
-
It’s a universal take for all athletes, save the rare 20-something dominating his Pop Warner league…
-
The Mariners were never going to trade Luis Castillo for any package centered around Hamilton. I could see te being interested in Hamilton after last year. But not to the point of unloading Castillo. His contract wasn’t that bad and most important, hes been remarkably durable throughout his career…
-
Why? He has options. You can get the same benefit for a lot less money by DFAing Nate Eaton. And if injuries become an issue, Yoshida is much better depth to have…
-
Of course there have been more failures than rings. To what team does that not apply?
-
Sweet deal for Anthony. He still gets to be a free agent by age 30…

I think the most overused phrase concerning minor leaguers is the phrase “blocked prospect.” I’ve seen it used on A ball players, on pitchers and occasionally on players a stage ahead of a more highly ranked prospect. I mean, can a pitcher EVER be a blocked prospect? That said, Password is about as blocked as any prospect Ive ever seen. In AAA, and even if we are not counting Refsnyder, is fifth on the OF depth charts on the 40 man alone. 6th if we extend it to include DH. And barring unforeseen trades and injuries, no one is going anywhere for at least two years. And even then it’s only Yoshida. Yes Garcia is a Top 100 prospect, but that doesn’t make him some rare Earth precious metal. There’s like, what, 100 of them every year? Sure no one wants to give say the next Bagwell, but that doesn’t mean we need to devotedly clutch every future Garin Cecchini just to make sure. Im surprised he survived the deadline. Next I will be surprised if he survives the off-season…

And what would they have accomplished at this point if they did acquire the infamous “#2 starter”?
-
To be fair, Dustin May might meet that requirement.. Buehler has been worth -1.3bWAR with a 72 ERA+. May has been worth -0.3 bWAR with an 85 ERA+…
-
I get not breaking up the roster. I’m more surprised they held Password, since unless they do deal a couple outfielders, he has no future with this team if he doesn’t move to 1b. And even then, he might be third in line to field grounders since Yoshida and Campbell are reportedly both learning 1b…
-
The Sox didn't need a Ferrari. Teams that need Ferraris are not deadline buyers. (And really, no human being ever has NEEDED a Ferrari. It’s one of those luxury items thats only deemed a necessity by the remarkably spoiled.) I’m not wild about May, but the Sox pitching isn’t exactly struggling right now. Maybe you haven’t noticed how the team is doing?
-
It’s actually a fair price. It’s a deal I’d make. Garcia isnt headlining a package for anyone significantly better…
-
Stories were all over the place. Some outlets even reported they acquired Ryan…
-
Really they should have dealt Password. BA Top 100 prospect who, if the Sox don’t trade an outfielder, finds himself peaking at fifth outfielder on the depth charts until 2029, when he can jump to 4th outfielder, assuming no one catches him from behind.. He could have been dealt for a rental better than May. Cease? Maybe?
-
I think it’s really just Zack Kelly…
-
No kidding. Only 780 humans are talented enough to suit up for MLB games on any given day, yet some folks act like half of them got there via the same process as jury duty…
-
I am ok seeing if he is better, especially since the Sox have all those options available and there will likely be enough innings to go around. With maybe even some for Sandlin, Tolle, and/or Early…

Will Roman Anthony be Jarred Kelenic or Brady Anderson?
notin commented on Charlie Hoke's blog entry in Charlie Hoke
I’m ok predicting Roman Anthony settles somewhere in the Milky Way-sized gray area in between Jarred Kelenic and Ted Williams…- 12 comments

What internal options?
-
I doubt he was a DFA candidate…
-
Oh please. Teams were giving up quality relief pitching for James Outman. I’m sure some team would give up an A ball player for Grissom. If nothing else, Grissom possesses the ability to play Major League Baseball for minimum wage, and a lot of teams value that skill…
-
Makes me wonder why they didn’t send him off in some minor trade last week. If he is as poor of a fit as you say, why waste the 40 man roster spot on him?
-
Good and Pithy was one of the worst candy ideas of all time…
-
Detroit has been all over the place recently. They’re 6-2 in their last 8, but that comes off a 1-12 stretch in the previous 13…
-
My big concern with May is they got him from a contender, and a team that clearly knows him, for a 23yo struggling in A ball. If May was such an asset, why did the Dodgers unload him for a package that will clearly not help this year and might never be worth anything?
