I’ll play for $2mill if it helps…
-
There are no more Spacemen…
-
The Rays have made RHH Harold Ramirez available. He’s spent a lot of time at DH, but his defensive numbers don’t have any red flags in limited action. He’s has a 121 OPS+ over the last 2 years in Tampa. Also has 2 years left. And he fits Henry’s budget!
-
Media coverage is fueled by clicks and hits. The long shot story apparently didn’t generate enough of them, so they are trying a new angle…
-
f*** Soler. Bring back Duvall. Soler is a hitter, but Duvall is a player…
-
Cabrera isn’t a wish list; he’s a prediction. Assuming Breslow’s love affair with radar gun readings is as accurate as we are lead to believe. Cabrera is one of the hardest throwing SPs out there.
-
See, I think he’s only looking for players willing to pitch for what he carries in cash…
-
That’s because Steamer is projecting Duran as a CF and Raley as a LF. If Duran was projected as a LF, his defensive contributions would improve noticeably…
-
Nationals made it work with Soto. The Angels Way is actually to sign a player to a nine figure deal and then immediately cripple him…
-
You can get by with cheaper SP if you excel with the bullpen and defense. The Sox bullpen is good but too heavy with 2 unknowns at the back end. The defense with Story and Grissom is a lesser grade of atrocious. Throw in Rafaela (if he starts) and it might upgrade to “almost acceptable.” But not enough to overcome the rotation…

I wonder if this whole “ruining a player’s confidence” is even a real consideration. First of all, I haven’t met many ball players, but the ones I have met are not short on confidence. I’m not saying they are all arrogant *******s (but some definitely are), but I am saying I’ve never met one I believe would even be temporarily questioning himself after a failing for a few at bars or IP. Not to mention, if such an issue did exist, why would teams want to avoid it by burying him in the minors longer? Do teams really want to build more confident (re:arrogant) ball players? “Not wanting to ruin a player’s confidence” strikes me as team-speak for “we don’t want to rush him and see him eligible for arbitration at age 23 and free agency at 27.” I think more decisions are made around money than actual baseball. The guys who pays these bills have gotten very successful keeping financial decisions financial…

I could see a Duran trade. Duran is more valuable on BTV right now, but both he and Cabrera have had wild fluctuations on that site…
-
I’ve named one repeatedly whose been available to Boston in the past…
-
Clevinger isn’t horrible…
-
That can change rapidly…
-
Don’t trade Mayer. If Story gets hurt again, he might be needed by July. 1. Sign one SP. Imanaga? Stroman? Snell? Montgomery? All still out there. 2. Trade Duran for a SP. Miami and Cleveland are the logical partners. 3. Sign Duvall for RF. I suppose Duran might be movable for a catcher if need be. I like Wong, but is he a 130 game starter?
-
Verdugo did have a good defensive season last year. Players have good and bad seasons with the glove as well as with the bat…
-
The Sox won 78 games last year with no regular 2b, no one capable of playing CF, the worst SS in the league, and no starting pitchers anyone thinks rate higher than a #3. All while playing in a division where no rival team was even at .500, let alone below. If they bump up that starting pitching, they may have addressed a vast number of these flaws. And yet the consensus is still that they got worse…
-
That was a good take. Now can you say it again, but with more panic?
-
I was just thinking the same thing…
-
That’s why I put O’Neill in RF and call up Abreu if/when he gets hurt…
-
O’Neill-Rafaela-Duvall and nothing touches grass all year…
-
O’Neill is a multiple Gold Glove winner and Rafaela is an elite defender in CF. Defensively, it’s absolutely miles better than a Yankee outfield that appears ready to bench their best defensive player…
-
I’m more on board with Duran (LF), Rafaela (CF) and O’Neill (RF). Not wild about the dual rookies as starters coupled with the depleted depth. There will be chances for Abreu…
-
Luckily teams aren’t awarded bonus runs for “best outfield” any more…
