    So you’re a Philly fan now? I thought you were down on Desperate Dave?
  2. notin
    His defensive skills will help him maintain his value…

    I’m sure Cora has some input, but isnt Breslow ultimately responsible for callling players up?
  4. notin
    Yeah time to move on from Old Man Mayer…

    No better way to slow down Boston’s future than trade a 34yo first baseman for some part of Boston’s future. Plus with three wild cards, the division doesn’t mean what it used to…

    Why? Will it change their record over the previous 7 games?
  7. notin
    Sell because they went 2-5 against three first place teams? Yeah I bet no World Series Champion ever went 2-5 over a 7 game stretch before…

    Nick Kurtz

    notin posted a topic in Other Baseball

    Nick Kurtz became the only player in MLB history with all of the following 1. A game with 4 HRs 2. A game with 6 hits 3. A game with 6 runs scored 4. A game with 8 RBI 5. And a game with 5 extra base hits And he did it all in the same game yesterday…

    Agreed. Grissom had an .854 OPS in June and has a .992 OPS in July. What does he need to do to get a call up? Kill the Wicked Witch of the West?

    Isn't that what you did?

    So Twins fans don’t like it either? That doesn’t change that the Phillies clearly dominate this deal. In BTV, Philly gains over $50mil in surplus value, Minnesota about $10mill in surplus value and Boston loses over $40mill. Minnesota comes closest to breaking even. Boston gets destroyed in their model…

    So the Phillies trade away MLB prospects #93 and #97 and get back Jarren Duran AND Johan Duran? Meanwhile thr Red Sox trade prospects #54, #72 and #100 PLUS 3 years of Jarren Duran for the marginally better package of Ryan, Jax, and the rights to pay Christian Vazquez’ salary? The goal of this trade appears to be to funnel as many prospects as possible to Minnesota regardless of which team they come from. Philly fans would love this deal. Twins fans think it’s fair. Red Sox fans would see their team get sodomized. Want to make it more fair? Boston keeps Tolle and Philly includes Aiden Miller. Probably not enough but at least Philly pays something…

    7 out of 162 is not a significant number. We get caught up in the parity of MLB to think that it is, and don’t want to recognize it because it can cost hundreds of millions for teams to improve minimally…

    Myself and Guardians GM Stephen Vogt still disagree. Yoshida, even free, does nothing for the Guardians except block CJ Krayfus. Arias is nice. Password is probably overrated by Sox fans. Soxprospects. calls him a “potential platoon outfielder”. So essentially - Arias for Clase? I doubt it comes close..
  15. notin
    Zero chance the Sox get Clase for Yoshida, Romero, Arias, and Password…

    …. while the Star Man was waiting in the sky.

    Those numbers are out of 162…
  18. notin
    Aren’t the Sox 13-3 against the Rays and Yankees?
  19. notin
    I think I pegged Clase’s value pretty well in the Cubs trade - two BA Top 100 prospects and a controllable (but possibly fungible) MLB pitcher…

    Hearing whispers that with the Dodgers in town, the two teams have had a conversation about a swap involving Franklin Arias and Brandon Clarke for Dalton Rushing…
  21. notin
    It is situational. And risky for the team loading the bases…

    The Montauk Monster is a dead raccoon, so the fight was presumably very easy. Probably even easier than taking down that toy submarine that’s been terrorizing Loch Ness for decades…

    Makes sense. I mean, why pass on a chance to dine at Barnacle Bill’s? Pass on the clam chowder, as it is made with tomatoes (which is illegal in Massachusetts and a violation worthy of inclusion in the Ten Commandments), but the Arctic Char and the wood grilled salmon are proof of the existence of God…

    Still only reading one line of posts, I see…

    Almost 10 years ago and not really the norm. Last year Tanner Scott was the best closer dealt, and he did net Miami a solid return headlined by Robby Snelling, who was a BA Top 100 prospect. But the other 3 players were fairly nondescript, with the best being Graham Pauley, who profiles as a Romy Gonzalez type. Carlos Estevez was the second best, and he was worth two unranked pitching prospects. Clase is better than either of them, but I am not so sure he is worth much more than 3+ years of Duran. It likely comes down to whether or not Cleveland wants MLB talent or high end prospects. I don’t think he’s worth both if the talent in question is Duran. Minnesota has been asking for multiple Top 100 prospects for either Jhoan Duran (no relation) or Griffin Jax, but that’s served no purpose except ending conversations quickly. And reportedly they didn’t ask for controllable MLB talent along with prospects, let alone MLB All Star talent like Duran…
