    1. You clearly don’t read your own posts. I suppose I shouldn’t blame you; I feel dumber and get into stupid arguments when I read them. 2. The entire point was about trading away prospects that pan out - does the return make it acceptable? Utah thought so, but I have had back and forth about how the Sox shouldn’t have traded Meidroth and Montgomery. We got Garret Crochet!! Of course we should have!! You don’t let a pitcher like that get away because you don’t want to trade Chase Meidroth! That was the point. Not sure why comparing Crochet to Sale due to injuries was a factor. And yes, WE ALL KNEW USING CROCHET THAT MANY INNINGS WAS RISKY! There were posts about his IP workload all throughout last year, and possibly even in spring training….

    Very much not for trading Mayer. To me the trade candidates are Chapman, Gray, IKF (although I’d love him back next year), Guerrero, and Duran. I’d add Story and Yoshida, but neither is going anywhere, unless Yoshida is heading to the waiver wire if he doesn’t start hitting soon…

    You went out of your way to compare him to Sale and his injuries, which cost Sale nearly 4 seasons of his career. You were specifically comparing them as injured players and did so in a conversation about trading prospects/young players that had NOTHING TO DO with pitching injuries or Chris Sale…

    Was it a bad trade or a good trade? Also it’s a but early to write Crochet off for the next 3 seasons due to a lat strain…

    Especially since college baseball pales in comparison to college football and basketball. The latter two sports have dedicated network air time, while college baseball is limited to occasional appearances on ESPN, and even then gets pre-empted if the network finds a more exciting poker tournament or spelling bee to broadcast…

    Well if they’re heading towards FA anyway…

    LOL. No it doesn’t. We had people complaining about giving up Chase Meidroth and Braden Montgomery (after one game no less), and we traded them for a Cy Young runner up.

    To tender of to non-tender? If soxprospects.com is right and Casas still has three options left, no brainer to tender him…

    I say go all the way to 2040. Not like we have any hitting lined up before then!

    Us as small portion of a few hundred thousand Sox fans? Sure. He’s aware the team has fans. Us as contributors to Talksox.com? Not a chance…

    Only 132 innings at shortstop. Hard to exceed league average in runs and outs with 75% less innings…

    Yes and they should. It’s still Breslow’s call to trade Mayer and he probably doesn’t know this forum exists, let alone care what we say. And he certainly doesn’t want our advice…

    After 312 career at bats and at 23 years old?

    If traded, I won’t miss Weissert. And neither will the swings of opposing hitters…

    That could be as well. Do the Sox call theirs “FenWAR”? But the BTV bottom line of projected production vs salary/projected salary is probably very common…
  16. notin
    While it’s unlikely any teams use BTV itself, they all do something similar - projected production vs projected salary. The biggest variable is what site(s) each uses for projections…

    What about insomniacs?

    If David Halberstam is ever afflicted with whatever starts the Zombie Apocalypse, I fully expect him to consume your brain first. Side note: Spell check tried to write “Zombie Apologist” instead and now I’m working on how to pitch that to HBO Max…

    I questioned Priester when it was made, because we traded immediate MLB-ready/experienced pitching deoth for minor leaguers that were seasons away, and for no reason. It immediately burned Boston as well, as there were injuries (notably Giolito) that created openings in the rotation. I admit not minding Harrison because 1) we needed another INF and Durbin was coming off a good rookie year, 2) the Sox had already dealt several other young pitchers, notably Dobbins that I had more faith in, and 3) while Harrison got very little opportunities in Boston, it’s not like his SF numbers made anyone think he was special…

    The Sale trade was unscripted. Hill knows how his movies are going to end before he even starts berating craft services workers…

    I can hear your belly button puckering and unpuckering from here. Best you get some sedatitives and cuddle up with a stranger’s teddy bear for a few weeks…

    The Sox most frequently started 2b in 2024 was Enmanuel Valdez. Disagree on not needing another middle infielder…

    So you prefer the decision-making ability of a guy who said “yes” to Get Him To The Greek?

    A MORE EXCITING MLB DRAFT? Have they gone mad??!! It’s already far too exciting for most people to watch that many networks won’t even broadcast it for fear of flooding the nation’s cardiac units!!! Leave it to MLB to try to make the draft more exciting while still maintaining outdated blackout rules that prevent people from actually watching games…

    Sale hadn’t pitched a full season since 2019 and hadn’t been Elite Chris Sale since 2017. If the Sox were counting on Chris Sale to return to elite form at age 35 after a prolonged stretch of not pitching that included not only TJ, but also a broken rib from throwing a pitch, what would you have honestly thought of that plan? In 2017, Sale lost out on the Cy Young to Corey Kluber, who then declined and retired including going down in flames in Boston, all between Sale’s last elite season and his resurgence in Atlanta. It didn’t work out, but I still don’t fault Breslow there. I don’t think people get how improbable that comeback really was….
