    Like by adding a lottery? First of all, ranking draft csndidates by talent is far from an exact science, which is why no two mock drafts are the same. Not to mention, picking which high school player has the brightest future 4 years from now is an even more difficult task. Houston had the number one overall pick 3 years in a row and only selected one major leaguer who had an actual career….

    Not really. Unless there is a Bryce Harper or Paul Skenes available - a clear top talent - the MLB draft is largely a crapshoot. Most years have plenty of good players in the later rounds. Not to mention, it’s the slowest possible way to rebuild a franchise and gives the Sox more excuses to stay cheap..,

    Story and Mayer are both back next year. So no Arias until Story breaks a rib or strains an. Intercostal of lets his arches fall or…

    Colorado isn’t trading the cheap and controllable Goodman. In fact, they rarely trade anyone, unless it’s to dump Mr. Arenado’s salary.

    They seem to be hesitant on the long term free agent front, although they did sign Suarez. Not holding my breath for another. .So either deal some minor league talent or short term free agents. Maybe Chisholm, Torres or Lowe? Chisholm clearly gets the longest deal there. Could also trade a young pitcher (Early?) for a bat and sign a replacement SP…

    Even if he did, there were no outs and Chapman wasn’t Chapman.. Dropping Judge’s line drive last year was much, much worse…

    I think Arias is the better defensive SS, but I like that you’re not writing Mayer off just yet...

    Breslow isn’t getting fired. It took too long just to get him hired. Tracy is a clear interim manager brought in to help some of the younger players that he knew from the minors. After the season, he goes back to Worcester and the real manager gets hired. No idea who. Maybe David Ross? Just a guess based on him having MLB managerial experience and ties to Breslow…

    You clearly don’t if you’re responding “but that would never happen”. Ser, hypotheticals are “what if” scenarios that wouldn’t necessarily happen but are thrown out to illustrate a point. If you say “that wouldn’t happen”, you clearly DO NOT understand hypothetical situations and logic. If you want to refute one, you are supposed to attack the point being illustrated. There, now maybe you actually understand hypothetical situations. Probably not…

    You clearly don’t get how hypothetical situations work. Also, if you add in that particular dose of reality, it makes Fred’s whole attendance gripe even stupider…

    Does it? Rank these picks. 2021 draft 1. Henry Davis 2. Jack Leiter 3. Jackson Jobe 4. Marcelo Mayer 22. Colson Montgomery 23. Gavin Williams 27. Jackson Merrill

    His 2025 was arguably better. Better FIP, better K/9, better WHIP. And half the years between those two were tainted by repeatedly trying to force him into the rotation…

    Let’s say it dipped significantly enough the rest of this season. Which course of action is more likely? A. “Attendance is falling. We need to invest more heavily in team payroll and gain back public interest by improving the team.” B. “Attendance is falling. We need to slash payroll, raise ticket prices, and purchase a Taiwanese badminton with the money we save.”

    Duran?
  15. notin
    Within reach? It might be unavoidable…
  16. notin
    Duran has an OPS of .451 in June with 1 extra base hit since June 1. Case for trading Duran? What team is going to want him over any other available corner OF?
  17. notin
    More disappointed in how quickly he gave up on Vaughn Grissom..

    6 BB/9. Thats how..

    Devers’ stats were usually the reason to keep him. But it’s Devers the Human that I’m glad is gone…

    He also thinks if fans don’t go to Fenway, Henry will start spending again. As opposed to, you know, using low attendance as a reason not to spend…

    Fun Schwarber facts from Saturday. So I’m listening to the Phillies pummel the Mets 15-3 on Saturday. Schwarber has a heckuva day in which he 1. Launched two 450+ home runs in the third inning, making him the first player in the StatCast Era to hit over 900 feet of home runs in one inning, and 2. hit another home run in the 7th inning, tying Mike Schmidt for the club record for most games with 3 home runs. Tying Mike Schmidt. Schmidt was one of the best home run hitters in MLB history with 548 home run, all for the Phillies in his 18 year career. Schwarber tied him for a Phillies home run record in 4 1/2 seasons…

    They might have gotten him for much less. Don’t forget he was just months past being non-tendered and settling for a one year cheap deal on a s***** team…

    CC Sabathia was traded in June. He wasn’t disgruntled. In fact, many the pundit commented on exactly how gruntled he was…
  24. notin
    Had they extended Schwarber during the season, he might have been cheaper…

    Good point. I think May of 1984 might be too early to consider him a 1986 trade deadline acquisition. But that‘s me…
