  1. A lot of times it seems like when a player says "I want to stay with this team: he means "I want to stay with this team if they can meet my price." Porcello might be willing to take whatever the Sox offer, but he does have an agent who will tell him what he is worth and what he would be leaving on the table. And no one hires an agent so that they can take a hometown discount...
  2. Except Atlanta
  3. So scratch Shaw off the list...
  4. Sure. But first give me a list of major league starting players ready to step in?
  5. Eh. One year. We’ve also seen him give a Cy Young caliber performance, but that’s not who he is either. We have a good idea who Rick Porcello is by now...
  6. Gorkys put a curse on my goldfish!
  7. And Greg Bird, too, right?
  8. Well the problem is that they have to be better than the bottom of the 25 man roster, which really isn’t likely. Unless Bloom uses the Rule 5 draft as a precursor to making a trade or two..,
  9. Are you talking about Mookie Betts here? It gets confusing because the Buckner groundball was hit by Mookie Wilson...
  10. In his entire time with the Rays, Bloom selected one player in the Rule 5 draft. I’m more interested in him making deals for the players other teams want to protect but can’t. Like how Dombrowski did last year for Colten Brewer...
  11. A more sensible use of Andujar would be the centerpiece of a trade for Jon Gray...
  12. But I’m hurt you didn’t use WAFL...
  13. But they added him to the 40 man roster after A ball. You said you didn’t understand why they added. I suspect that 9.38 K/BB ratio played a big part...
  14. That can be accomplished with a better grade of bench player than Gorkys Hernandez...
  15. Sure he was. In those days, the Sox rotation was really called “Clemens and Hurst and expect the worst.”
  16. A 9.38 K/BB ratio, I suspect...
  17. Come out and play!!
  18. With 9 hours until the deadline, only Atlanta has added any names to the 40 man roster...
  19. I’d protect Ockimey over Weber...
  20. What was wrong with Bruce Hurst in 1986? He was a passed ball and a groundball away from being World Series MVP...
  21. There is no reason to bring Gorkys Hernandez back. None whatsoever
  22. Why is Weber still here?
  23. I remember when the BABIP-fueled Ciriaco was the Shortstop Of The Future. Turns out in this case, the future meant "the next 6 days."...
  24. If the Sox protect 6 players, they cannot make a selection. They might leave spot open if there is a player Bloom likes. No one wanted Ockimey last year. He did improve a bit this year by taking a lot more walks and showed more power (aided by the Manfred Missile), but I am not so sure how many team want him on the MLB roster all season. Although they could select him and work something out...
  25. So 8am Tokyo time?
