  1. Price, Sale, Rodriguez, Eovaldi, Barnes, Hernandez, Taylor, Workman, Johnson, Vazquez, Chavis, Bogaerts, Devers, Benintendi, and Betts for starters.
  2. I don’t think you get much of anything for Price or Moreland and you probably have to pay enough of Price’s deal that it’s not even worth trading him. I wish the guys in the analytics department would key in on a pitcher or two that’s hit the waiver wire. I bet that you could assemble half of a staff and bullpen from waiver wire claims this year that has outperformed the Sox rotation and pen...
  3. Not really. It’s not like the Front Office did anything. And the opportunity to sell was never there. Sure we could have bulked up the farm with more Josh Tobias types. Yippy...
  4. Also they should see what Brian Johnson is. Is he worth keeping? I will say, i am a longtime Johnson detractor, but I am starting to agree with Dojii that he could be as good as Porcello. Maybe not in the way that Dojii meant, but still...
  5. Given how the Sox starters have done in the first inning, I’d be ok with giving Weber an “opener” game in front of Price or Porcello...
  6. With Sale, this is just one season. Price feels like he’s been going backwards for a while now. In four seasons in Boston (including 2019), he has posted his three highest ERA’s since 2010. And his two lowest fWAR totals, with 2019 poised to be #3 on that list. It’s just not working out...
  7. Yeah. Look at it this way. Do you really think Dombrowski would be able to get under-the-radar talent for very replaceable players Porcello or Moreland? The guy’s strength is in dealing away young talent, not in finding it...
  8. Would the fliers the Sox got for Porcello and Moreland really be any better than the waiver wire player’s Dombrowski ignores every day?
  9. Barring a trade of Betts, we didn’t miss much of an opportunity....
  10. The rotation has given up at least one run in the first inning in 5 of the last 6 games. Maybe it's time to embrace the "opener" strategy...
  11. They can’t keep trotting Price out there, can they? He’s looking like the more expensive pitching version of Carl Crawford...
  12. Oscar Tavares (#3) Tyler Skaggs (#7) Jose Fernandez (#8)
  13. Having Betts means having how much to spend on pitching?
  14. No. He doesn’t. He might get one by default because the Sox have 5 other pitchers who also don’t deserve to start...
  15. So I’m looking back at some old prospects lists. First one I looks st is the 2013 Fangraphs list, because I don’t have/want a Baseball America subscription. Creepy list. Only 6 years old and three of the top eight prospects are dead!!
  16. It’s not easy to walk Chavis
  17. That’s what I was thinking. Now if Benintendi homers...
  18. My hopes for the 2020 Sox: Hembree - non-tender Bradley - non-tender Wright - non-tender Granted Free Agency Porcello Moreland Pearce Sandoval (in absentia) Cashner Weber Smith Curletta Trades Betts (no other way to rebuild the staff quickly) Price Dalbec
  19. I’m f***ing appalled. I am very much hoping Dombrowski gets fired...
  20. And Sox fans actually don’t. The Sox weren’t expected by many to make the postseason last year. 2013 came out of nowhere. And really, 2007 felt awesome because many of us thought 2004 would be the only one would ever see...
  21. Not his defense? His offense will only be missed for a few weeks a year...
