    So wait… are you accusing him of shopping for reprobates at a discount?!?. I mean, do people want a better grade of reprobate?!?

    Buchholz stole Jay Groome’s dad?!?!

    And Mayer will be gone by 2030..

    Back in post 2355, there was some dope who said Bloom did. Unless of course that dope was implying Sale should have been traded, which is even funnier. Pitchers about to have TJ surgery and owed $145mill over the next 5 years might not be in the highest of demand…

    Bloom inherited and injured and expensive Sale. Paxton’s contract is dirt cheap in comparison

    Don’t forget Julio Valdez…

    Fair point about the diction. But my point was players prior to free agency had no choice in teams and pay…

    But the Sox got back to the postseason in 2016. Really, that’s the goal, because any team can go on a run, like Philly did last year. Now the Sox did get back to the postseason 3 years after 2018. But they failed to sustain that run like they were able to 6-7 years ago…

    I prefer him at 2b and Andrus at SS. The Miguel Rojas buzz tells me Bloom is a big fan of DRS. Jacob Stallings lead MLB at catcher in that same defensive metric in 2021…

    So? 26%? If they are “galaxies apart,” it’s not good. Might as well shop Devers and NOT turn down the return pitching prospects because you prefer they fill a different role. Unless you can get another one that does instead. And ONLY in that case…

    It was sarcasm. I don’t do green fonts. Heck I barely escape without typos…
  12. notin
    Agree with all points. Or maybe the master plan is to DH Devers full time so as to undercut his appeal and value around MLB, maybe just a little but enough that it will make him harder to trade and easier to re-sign…
  13. notin
    It might be, but he only played 66 games at 3b last year as opposed to 62 games at DH…

    The loyalty that you want back was servitude. Ted Williams and Carl Yastrzemski and all those other players you grew up idolizing didn’t stay with the Sox out of loyalty; they had no choice to join the team and no option to leave. Some fans might romanticize relegation a bit too much…

    That ship has sailed. Houck is the new pitcher with a role in question…
  16. notin
    I think RF is settled. SS maybe, too, if they move Story. SP might be if they move Houck. So that means backfilling RP and 2b…

    So you’re saying it was a mistake to try and make the postseason last year? If they ran up the white flag, ups have supported that move? It worked out that it was the wrong move, but they didn’tknow Eovaldi and Devers would both get hurt and Sale can’t ride a bike…

    Can he outhit Dalbec and the departed Eric Hosmer? Case closed…
  19. notin
    Certainly he was younger then, but his power numbers were down in 2018 and he bounced back. Plus, .350 OBP never hurts. He won’t hit like he used to, but he can certainly put hot Dalbec and Hosmer…
  20. notin
    Also, do you mean the Sox front office didn’t learn from past mistakes?
  21. notin
    So if the Sox are in contention - fire sale anyway!!
  22. notin
    The Sox are up on Seth Lugo apparently. Which is good because I prefer they not sign him. Also,is it just me, or is Lugo getting far, far more press than should be dedicated to a pitcher of his meh caliber?
  23. notin
    Henry has sent that message loudly and clearly…
  24. notin
    Clearly the goal here is a Reduced Cost Red Sox team. The easiest way to reduce costs while not totally killing your team is build a better defense. Teams pay heavily for pitching. Teams pay heavily for hitting. No one pays heavily for defense. That’s why the Sox tried to get Jacob Stallings last year and made inquiries into Miguel Rojas this year. They were both elite defenders using DRS as the method of evaluating, and both don’t command a lot of money. So expect gloves over bats…

    Sign Andrus. Sign Fulmer. (Houck to rotation - ugh.) Either sign Anderson for RF or Brantley for DH…
