That is his real name, isn’t it?
-
So they declared Houston the winner of the trade?
-
This year Bloom has a couple small wins on trades that were panned previously. That grades change over time defeats the purpose of grading them, especially when it’s known that they will change…
-
I’m not so sure. I think a lot of fans made a bigger deal than Vazquez did…
-
Exactly. It’s 4 games. Why those 4 are more relevant sample size than the previous 95 is a mystery to me…
-
But why not use some of the arms you have? Horn and Anderson each day unused for more than 10 days. Alex Speas hasn’t been touched since he was claimed. What’s the deal with Keller and Walter still taking up 40 man roster spots? And then there’s Mata…
-
I like that sentiment. But they do need help…
-
We did get rid of the guy who refused to put his finger anywhere near the trigger and who oversold Eric Hosmer to us. ( I suppose any selling of Hosmer was overselling.) I’m giving Breslow a chance and not holding Bloom against him…
-
What was your grade for Vazquez for Abreu/Valdez at the time? I recall that trade drawing more ire than praise. But how about now?
-
It’s not time just yet to run up the white flag…
-
So still pretty beefy…
-
They still project his ceiling as potential backend starter. I think he has a great shot at being the best MLB pitcher ever named Jedixson…
-
I don’t get this obsession fans have with grading trades and declaring a winner for each trade, a subject that covers 90% of the comments on any MLBTR article about a trade. But it’s especially confusing when they clearly know that it could change depending on the younger players/prospects…
-
Was it Pablo himself?
-
That makes sense. Soxprospects definitely likes him, but doesn’t hide that he is a wild card and a long way off…
-
Hey, if the Dodgers are handing out free gifts, I have no problem standing in line. Of course, Breslow seems to ignore these free gifts when others hand them out. Maybe for good reason?
-
No, that was the Pablo Sandoval. Or maybe it was Grimace with a baseball glove. (I went there, and I will again. I’m not above body-shaming Pablo Sandoval and never will be.)
-
They should be…
-
Ben’s vision was Middlebrooks at 3b, Bogaerts at SS and Pedroia at 2b. Devers was 16 at the time and presumably not in any plans…
-
In keeping with the theme, Ragans was never a ranked prospect by anyone. Acuna was ranked 73 by MLB at the time and ignored by BA and BP…
-
Ragans was dealt early. Common belief is if you buy too far before the deadline, you pay more. The Rangers also traded Ronald Acuna Jr’s baby brother for Max
-
Even at the time, I would have preferred dealing Middlebrooks. His stay there was brief, but Iglesias might have been the best defensive 3b in Sox history. Bogaerts proved uncomfortable at 3b and needed to be at SS. But Iglesias didn’t…
-
The Rangers dealt two players who would get ranked by BA the following season for Montgomery and Stratton. The Astros also dealt their top prospect for the then-reigning Cy Young winner..
-
Iglesias was ranked #96 by MLB that season, and ignored by BA and BP. The Sox were using him as a 3b prior to the trade, as they had a veteran SS in Stephen Drew. Once they dealt Iglesias, they did eventually call up another SS prospect to play 3b, but this one was ranked #20 by MLB, and also ranked by BA (#8) and BP (#12)…
-
This is the third season of 3 wild cards and third season of expanded buyers at the deadline. Have we seen that many top prospects get dealt in deadline deals? (Have we seen any?)
