Craig Breslow hired as Head Of Baseball Operations
notin replied to Tedballgame's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Last week you refused to answer my question because you were sure I’d use your opinion against you. Nice to see your views on that behavior have changed. -

I turned down my meeting with Moto. He wanted to meet over unagi. And I hate unagi… -
Brandon Walter for Drury at half price seems like a BTV-acceptable trade that works for both sides…
-
Yes, Sandoval is better than Crawford. But outside of Detmers and maybe Trout, is there a less available member of the pitching-bereft Angels?
-
Almost verbatim of how Steve Stone explains it…
-
They reportedly did offer $300mill for Yamamoto. They are setting that pace…
-
By “capable”, I meant “he knows where right field is located in most ballparks.”
-
Right. Going next level with the sarcasm really supplies that missing perspective. After all, the AL West is clearly top to bottom the toughest division. In the past two years, that division has two World Series titles despite playing the A’s (110-214) and Angels (148-176). These teams provide no relief for that grueling schedule. Even the Rangers (158-166) were just potential stumbling blocks…

Well, one depends heavily on the other. It’s impossible to have command without having control. Wikelman’s walk rates are astronomical. And that’s been against minor league hitters. If he can’t find the strike zone, he won’t be of much use as a major leaguer in any capacity…
-
This is why Brandon Drury checks every box. 1. Plays decent 2b. 2. Right-handed bat with some pop 3. One year of control (at $8.5mill) 4. Can play 1b and 3b, negating any need to keep Dalbec.

Someone like Merrifield is capable of other positions. Given the possibility of two rookies in the outfield, Yorke might end up replacing one of them through some rearrangement as well…

I’m not dismiss the postseason. I’m dismissing the Sox last place finish. We all knew that year was a white flag. And if every time I refer to the 2022 and 2023 teams as 78 win teams, I get corrected by someone who saying “you mean last place teams”, then I’m allowed to do that because maybe just maybe some of us don’t need to live in a world where we get to talk about even bad Sox seasons without over-emphasizing the negativity. As if failing to underscore every failure in the worst possible light is construed as not understanding the situation…
-
Yeah but we knew going in it was going to be a bad year. Mookie was traded. Sale was out. And Ryan Weber started the third game of the season. None are good signs. No one is saying it was just a two month slump. After all, that season was actually 9 weeks long…
-
Actually I don’t mind crediting the Dodgers the ring. But the last place finish is presumptuous. There’s no guarantee that in last place if that season goes a full 162, especially since they only finished one game behind Baltimore…
-
I make mistakes, but 2020 doesn’t count. They were in last place but it was only 60 games. That’s not a season. If Maris has to die with an asterisk because of an 8 game difference, then 2020 deserves 12.75 asterisks…
-
I assume we will also be sending the photo negatives of whatever blackmail evidence we also need to make that trade…
-
That include the two last place finishes?
-
Can I take the over?
-
Why 2023? There’s less than 2 weeks left in it…
-
You prefer Tom Berenger and Charlie Sheen?!? Costner as an actor has shown an uncanny ability to fail to convince me in any role. But he was somehow - likely by accident - actually ok in Bull Durham…
-
It’s overrated. I’m pretty sure the movie was pitched by someone saying “I’m thinking ‘Bull Durham,’ but, and here’s the twist, in the majors!”
-
Maybe not, but this time some of them are pitchers…
-
It would have to be Bart since the Sox already lost out on Tom “Bleeding Gums” Murphy…
-
Or surrender to the possible conclusion that injuries are part of the norm…
-
And not Major League?
