    Flaherty was a high school teammate of Lucas Giolito. Also of Max Fried. It’s actually a bit scary to think Westlake High School in LA had a better rotation than many MLB teams…

    I’ve always thought the worst way to evaluate a pitcher was by how funny his name was, which is probably why I never appreciated Doug Fister…
  3. notin
    And how does Flaherty NOT fit into the Sox age group? He’s 6 months older than Kutter Crawford and 8 months older than Tanner Houck…

    They need IP for this year, and need it badly. The Sox don’t really even have a full five man rotation. Acquiring multiple starters probably wouldn’t be a bad idea. A cost-controlled starter would be nice, but any starter would be an improvement…

    Perhaps Randy was referring to a hygiene issue?

    I assume I have 10/5 rights. (Those kick in if you’ve made 10,000 posts, with 5,000 of them being stupid.)
  7. notin
    Agreed, even if he sells off a few pieces this year…

    If the plan is to move O’Neill because he isn’t hitting, what team would be interested? The Sox need a RH bat. Either O’Neill is part of the solution or he’s a problem no one else would want. Romy is a utility infielder whose trade value is fairly minimal. There are dozens of utility infielders available…

    So you’re not disputing that dispute? I rest my case…
  10. notin
    Buying or selling, he has an option with Eovaldi…
  11. notin
    And the disputes are indisputable!
  12. notin
    Texas GM Chris Young recently stated he wants Texas in position to be buyers, which puts Eovaldi’s availability in question. Eovaldi has a $20mill option that vests if he pitches 62 more IP this year, so they may be prepared to exercise that even if he comes up short…

    Dakota Hudson had similar home/away splits and Colorado flat out DFAd him…

    That’s not a question I can answer. Without checking, they’re probably fair on BTV. But that also depends on who the other teams like as prospects and a desire to take quality over quantity…

    I can see keeping Anthony. I just don’t see trading for Crochet without including him. And there are pros and cons. Crochet is absolutely among the best starters in all of MLB this year and pitching is important. And let’s face it, the Sox trotted Ted Williams, Yastrzemski and Jim Rice - Hall of Famers all of them - out into left field from 1939 to 1989 and didn’t win a single title. So is OF a top priority over pitching?

    Lugo could move as well. I like Yorke because he has the first round pedigree and he’s crushing in AAA in a limited sample. He might be too much for the Anderson/Kikuchi/Eflin crowd I’ve been plugging, but I expect Breslow to acquire a more appropriate target(s)…
  17. notin
    I’m thinking Yorke is part of another minor league system come August…

    I doubt the Reds have any interest in marketing Greene. But if they do, the Sox have a pitching philosophy about avoiding 4 seam fastballs. That’s Greene’s best pitch…

    At the front end, it was obvious that was what they did. But as you go further down the rankings, I’m not so sure how much separates two players ranked widely apart. Or how the Sox ranked them…
  20. notin
    Breslow did take the best player available. In fact, numerous pundits called their pick the steal of the first round…
  21. notin
    But it’s not like those salaries are in a Gaussian distribution. $325mill is a bit isolated…
  22. notin
    So sometimes it does get you much. And when it doesn’t, hopefully it’s over in a year..
  23. notin
    “Legit prospects” doesn’t necessarily mean a BA Top 100 prospect. Could the Sox land Kikuchi or Eflin or Anderson for, say, Yorke? Or Zanatello?
  24. notin
    Reynaldo Lopez, Erik Fedde, Mike Lorenzen…

    I’ve been shilling for Canha from Detroit. Pros and cons to both, I suppose…
