    And if I did, given your history wuth me, you should shut up and accept it. Like I said, you kept saying Fred was right about everything while Fred was calling for the Sox to tank and sell. You repeatedly insisted the Sox were only as good as their record anytime anyone was slightly optimistic (which was me as I was the sole voice of optimism). But in the last 3 days, you e leapt on the bandwagon finally and keep trying to pretend you have been on it all along. You’re a complete fraud, which is just stupid in an anonymous forum…

    Tracy and Breslow have had a bit of a Midas Touch lately…

    And actually, I have NEVER said this team isn’t good enough to win, unlike you. I said it was risky to push their young pitchers too deep into the postseason. Not remotely the same at all. But hey, misrepresenting what other people say was always your strong suit…

    Are you f***ing serious? What on Earth does telling the Sox about my views matter? Do you think they would listen to anyone here? Would you have told them that you wanted them to tank 3 weeks ago? You have leapt to the front of the hypocrisy charge. All year long, you told us “Fred was right about everything” while Fred was begging the team to tank and lose. But the team wins a few and now you’ve adopted this new stance that thinking the team should sell is so wrong and cowardly. On the bright side, all it takes is one 5 game losing streak and you’ll reverse your position again. And then once again claim you never did…

    Not worried about middle infield. It’s not just Seigler, Cheng and Monasterio. The Sox also have Story, Mayer, Sogard, and Romy on the 40 man roster. And Arias, Romero and Mason White all yet to be rostered. But I think Eyanson and Witherspoon is a solid first offer. Can the Yankees top it? I think so. I think Lombard and LaGrange is better. But will the Yankees offer it and do the A’s agree with me? TBD. The Yankees could just as easily pivot and offer something much lesser for Ryan Jeffers, who makes more sense since they probably shouldn’t replace Austin Wells at this stage of the season…

    Six man rotation Gray Suarez Tolle Bello (Rivera?) Sandoval Bennett And at some point it might be nice to get some IP from Crochet, Houck, Crawford, Early, etc. Or maybe at least from Wehunt, Uberstine, Holobetz, whoever on the farm…

    You spent all year saying tjis team wasn’t good enough to those of us (me) that said it was better…
  8. notin
    I get that. I go with two but with great reluctance. I much prefer Eyanson plus Witherspoon…
  9. notin
    Or the Athletics can hold Arias and De Vries until November and deal with 29 other teams…
  10. notin
    What do the Yankees have to offer? Lombard? Older and worse than Arias. LaGrange? Is he better than Eyanson? Jasson/Spencer Jones? Neither is horrible but neither has lived up either. Volpe? Doubtful the A’s care Ok my knowledge of Yankee prospects is officially exhausted. Anyone know who else they have?
  11. notin
    Obviously better, but worst case I trade the better combo. Langeliers is such a perfect fit for this team. Arias isn’t any more proven than Mayer, either…
  12. notin
    SS’s can’t pitch? Guess what position Trevor Hoffman, Joe Nathan and Matt Bush began their career as. Also Bret Saberhagen was drafted as a shortstop…
  13. notin
    Eyanson and Early? Done. Don’t fear 2027. MLB hasn’t let CBA negotiations affect a season since 1994-95, over 30 years ago. The game is healthier than ever. They don’t want to lose it..
  14. notin
    Me too. I think they hold out for Arias. Arguing they wouldn’t take Arias because they have De Vries and Wilson is like saying “I know you owe me $50, but I need a $10bill, so just pay me that instead.”
  15. notin
    I mentioned him by name. Again, why couldn’t they just trade Arias for pitching? I’d love it if they took Early and Witherspoon. But if they ask for Arias, would you be in or out?
  16. notin
    Your entire post was berating people for wanting to sell. So what? As the rare fan who spent the majority of the season still excited by this team, I do understand their disappointment. Prospects are all about hope. When the team isn’t good, they give fans something to look forward to. Now you’re against hope too?
  17. notin
    Early ($31.2mill) and Witherspoon ($11.8mill) is actually a perfect match on BTV. Id just be shocked if the Athletics settled for it…
  18. notin
    Again, they can trade Arias (or DeVries) for pitching. Having De Vries doesn’t change this. I’d rather do Mayer/Witherspoon plus. But the A’s have almost 2 1/2 years to get a better offer…
  19. notin
    De Vries will have no impact on wanting Arias. Just like already having (and extending) Jacob Wilson didn’t temper their interest in Dr Vries. They can trade Arias for even better pitching, and therefore not limit themselves to options within the Boston system. A good matchup on BTV is Mayer ($29.7mill) and Witherspoon ($11.8mill) plus some lesser prospect. Sure I prefer the latter, but I assume it takes Arias Would you deal Arias for Langeliers?
  20. notin
    Langeliers is an excellent fit. BTV gives Langeliers (with 2.4 yrs of control) a surplus value of $44.2 mill. BTV gives Franklin Arias a surplus value of $69 million. It’s not a match, but I don’t see the Athletics doing this deal without Arias. And acquiring de Vries last year will most definitely NOT have them looking at other prospects instead…

    Way to tell people they have no right to an opinion! Geez, it’s almost as bad as the enthusiasm!
  22. notin
    So now were wondering why Jones ISN’T playing?
  23. notin
    Riley is unlikely to move, and those Astros are buyers per MLBTR. And Josh Bell really is an underrated hitter. I prefer Ty France, Steer, or Ward, but we could do worse.
  24. notin
    Hopefully. Just get a LF/DH and an RP. That’s all…

    Not really…
