  1. I’ll take that wager. I think Dipoto has done a good job for that organization and a lot of his team’s issues start with the struggles of JRod. I don’t think his job is in danger unless he does something insane like trade one of his young starters in Miller or Woo plus a reliever for Tyler O’Neill and Romy Gonzalez. But if they do want to deal a starter for some bats, I could see Bryan Woo (37.5) to Baltimore for Heston Kjerstad (34) as making a ton of sense for both teams…
  2. Baltimore is a much better matchup than Boston. If Seattle is willing to deal one of their young starters, dealing Miller for someone like Colby Mayo or Sam Bassallo…
  3. The Sox could at least give France a week-ish long tryout and DFA him on August 1 if something better does come along…
  4. I would imagine DiPoto would turn that down almost immediately, as his job definitely involves building next year’s team as well and he has to keep an eye on the future. I don’t think Abreu gets you any of the Seattle starters. O’Neill just isn’t worth enough. Gonzalez add nothing to the trade package. ..
  5. Do we really need more outfielders? Just get Canha from Detroit and platoon him at 1b with Smith…
  6. Fair point. If the Sox have faith in Bleis, it would be selling him low…
  7. With Campbell and Montgomery, the Sox OF depth feels semi-secure. SS feels exposed, although I’m confident Romero can fill Story’s shoes on the Injured List. Not sure who lines up between second and third next year…
  8. I was thinking no on Crochet due to the injury history and lesser control. What don’t you like about Bryce? Also, any other decent candidates? I’m drawing a blank…
  9. According to BTV’s system, Kirby (106.5) would cost Roman Anthony (53.2) and Marcelo Mayer (54.2)…
  10. I like the idea of trading Abreu for an arm if the Sox do acquire a shortstop. Move Rafaela where he belongs and clear up the OF logjam while improving the infield defense? Count me in…
  11. More random demands? You greedy demon!!!!
  12. I don’t think Roman Anthony could get George Kirby in a trade unless Breslow kidnapped Jerry Dipoto’s kids and made that trade his sole ransom demand. And even then, DiPoto might negotiate down, asking for one kid and he’ll deal Bryan Woo…
  13. Garret Crochet? Bryce Miller? Bryan Woo?
  14. The price for any of their younger arms could easily be Roman Anthony…
  15. The Mariners are still in the AL West picture, but getting farther away from even the third Wild Card. Still, I think they add bats using sources besides the young pitching because that young pitching makes them contenders for a few years in the immediate future. They can find other trade chips to get some bats. And also hope JRod breaks out of his season-long slump sometime soon…
  16. I think we might find by next year, one or more of Houck, Crawford or Bello (yes, Bello) might step up and come closer to filling that void than people realize. I’m still very high on that trio…
  17. I will never know how anyone sees Bleis. If I had Breslow’s job, I’d hold off another year and see if he can bounce back. He’s a former Top 100 prospect across three lists as recently as last year, so some potential might exist. But I could see other teams preferring Bleis over Lugo, Kavadas, Jordan, Sandlin, Meidroth, Espino and possibly even Fitts…
  18. He could be. He’s obviously not the most valuable gem in the system, and has earned his removal from three top 100 lists since the beginning of last year. But I still think a rival GM would prefer a long term project like Bleis over a AAA LHH DH/1b type like Kavadas who was left in the minors by his current organization in favor of journeyman Dom Smith. Kavadas might even be dealt, but as the returns get bigger, more GMs would ask for Bleis over Kavadas, Sandlin, Jordan, and Lugo. The Sox, OTOH, might prefer to hold Bleis, hoping a bounce back thrusts him back into the upper echelon of all prospects. Basically, they might not want to sell him low right now…
  19. Number 3 feels like a pipe dream, and usually one we repeat to ourselves every November…
  20. I’m citing other sources, not me. And I’m saying that I agree with them that he has more trade value than a bunch of those Future AAAA players you listed…
  21. Again, talk to SoxProspects.com. But if you want to know where Bleis is, I can tell you that he’s closer to those Top 100 lists than Matt Lugo and Nick Kavadas are…
  22. SoxProspects.com disagrees with you, ranking him ahead of even Campbell. BTV disagrees as well, giving him a greater surplus value than your entire list except for Abreu and Hamilton… BTV gives him a surplus value of $13mill,
  23. Bleis?
  24. Say it with me!! Tyler !! Tyler!! Ander-sun!! Ander-sun!! Ok I didn’t hear any of you…
  25. Miguel Bleis might be their best. I know he’s struggling, but that’s not so uncommon for those toolsy guys who are never evaluated on their stats anyway…
