  1. Be a little fair to DD. He did draft Shawaryn. He also drafted Houck, who is climbing through the system. And also Groome, whose issues have not been his fault. He’s only been drafting since 2016, and not many players in drafted in that timeframe are in the majors right now...
  2. The big question with the bullpen will be how much the Sox think they can rely on Wright and Thornburg. Yes, Thornburg. Tyler Thornburg has done nothing in 3 years except get hurt. However he did see his velocity return this season to where it was in Milwaukee. This might be giving some false hope that he’s back. But so far he has failed on the failed to back up this hope...
  3. Their window isn’t even close to closing. Bergman is locked up. Alvarez is the real deal. We haven’t even seen Tucker yet or a decent stretch of Fisher. (Consider Springer replaces.) McCullers might be out but he isn’t dead. They still have Josh James. And Whitley might be a disappointment but I bet they don’t give up on him...
  4. The Astros are typically very stingy with prospects. It’s not unheard of them to stand pat at the deadline. Stroman could also wind up in the NL. With Rich Hill going down recently, the Dodgers might be actively seeking a starter. Oakland, if they decide to stay in the hunt, now has the biggest need...
  5. You’d think this team didn’t win 119 games one year ago...
  6. The Sox plan to activate Steven Wright this week. And the. Nationals just released Trevor Rosenthal. Rose th has been awful this year but he is very much the type of reliever DD loves ...
  7. The 2012 Red Sox also had a massive fire-sale in August...
  8. But you need to get to the postseason before that becomes a factor...
  9. Which are both the bet chances at repeating in all of MLB...
  10. I’ve been on the bullpen bandwagon since November. The only reason I think they get a starter it’s easier to use a starter for a reliever than it is to use a reliever as a starter...
  11. Apparently Belicheck is better at baseball strategy than baseball managers?
  12. In 2014, the Tigers started Verlander-Sherzer-Price in a postseason series vs the Orioles and lost all three games...
  13. Well you left Barnes off his list. Beni or Frazier? Gotta go Beni there Casas or Garcia? Casas is ranked mid-90s or so. Garcia? Unranked. Point - Casas That leaves Estrada vs Barnes. Is Estrada more valuable yhan Barnes at all?
  14. Only 3 of those 15 were in the ninth inning. Having a closer wouldn’t make this big of a difference...
  15. Ok tell me why Renfroe’s teammates think he’s a good teammate. Tell me about his clutch performances. Plural...
  16. So you’re saying you’d rather draft 10 spots better than win the World Series?!?! You must HATE the Yankees this year. Their draft position looks like it could be horrible!!
  17. Not as much as you think. A lot of games have had multiple blown saves...
  18. The argument loses something when you start making stuff up about the guy...
  19. So you’re saying they DON’T pay attention to it?
  20. Ketel Marte has 20 home runs. He’s like 5’9 160 lbs, and on his career, had only 22 home runs in the majors and minors combined!! So yeah, ball is juiced...
  21. Well, you also guaranteed the Sox would add a closer and Steve Pearce would get 4 years $36mill. The Sox will cross the final barrier if it is the best overall move. They crossed all the other barriers. Why stop now?
  22. Are you suggesting trading Benintendi for Renfroe? Renfroe is two years older, a weak defensive outfielder whose only trick is hitting home runs during a season where EVERYONE is hitting home runs. Maybe the Sox move Benintendi for a pitcher and pursue Renfroe. But not until November...
  23. To play where? Unless the Sox are dealing Benintendi, they don’t need Renfroe right now...
  24. Maybe the Rays could represent a return of MLB to Brooklyn. They could slightly change their nickname from Rays to Famous Original Rays...
  25. If it lead to the Rays making more money and then spending more on players, the Union might change that position...
