And also - no pitching-related injuries in the past 3 years!! I remember when Trey Ball had age and talent on his side. Henry Owens, too. Both of them, unlike Song, were BA Top 100 prospects…
-
Why? For not predicting a pitcher would be selected after a 3 year hiatus? At any rate, Rotoworld agrees with Notin on this one. https://www.nbcsportsedge.com/baseball/mlb/player/52810/noah-song
-
But what people are saying is pitching in low A ball, taking 4 years off, and then pitching in MLB is an insane career trajectory that never happens for a reason…
-
No waivers. If the Phillies or Nats no longer want their respective pitchers, they become property of the Red Sox again. Ditto the oft-forgotten Politi. You know, the only pitcher the Sox lost whose thrown more than 60 IP since 2019…
-
If they do anything beyond simply trading for/buying Song, than Dombrowski is a moron. If he still has faith in Song after 4 years but gives up after a couple bad innings, he’s a moron. If he keeps Song through his struggles and lets him take beatings in the bullpen that cost Philly games (either through losing his outings or making the rest of the pen work harder), then Dombrowski is a moron. DD spent what $400 or $500 mill this off-season. Is he really going to keep a pitcher with 0 IP in 4 years stick on his bullpen? He has no one more capable in the entire organization? DD will make a trade. Or he’s a moron…
-
Probably worth noting that hasn’t happened yet. And Song stands a good chance to be more of an obstacle than an aid in defending that pennant. I seriously doubt Dombrowski is going to risk his season after shelling out several hundred million on hoping Song isn’t too rocky at the back of the bullpen. What you’re missing is that if Dombrowski keeps Song, it’s a bad move. Like an idiot move. Unless he completes a trade so Song can be optioned…
-
Song’s entire professional career consists of 17 innings in Lowell in 2019. Its a bit of a stretch to think of him as a “young MLB arm”. And while his 3.80 K/BB that year was impressive, it was less than the 3.94 of Aldo Ramirez (in 61 IP!!). You know, the nobody we dealt for Schwarber who peaked in A ball and didn’t even pitch last year…
-
The Phillies will swing a deal for Song. No way they keep a pitcher whose only professional experience is 17 innings of low A ball 4 years ago on their MLB roster all year while trying to defend the NL pennant. If no deal can be reached, expect Song to be returned…
-
Not even sure where that taunt was going. For 3 years, he’s been picking on Bloom and now he’s taunting us that the Sox are going to fire him? From his perspective, that’s like laughing at us because our flu is getting cured…
-
The Sox payroll isn’t one of the top 6 in MLB for the first time in a long time, including the largely ineffective 2020 roster. One year with a mid-range payroll isn’t necessarily a white flag. Especially with the two biggest free agents in MLB history potentially hitting the market in the next two years…
-
Getting a new owner is more likely to be a step or several back. There are more Bob Nutting’s and Bob Castellini’s than there are Steve Cohen’s out there..
-
Verdugo will have his best year this coming season. Book it…
-
Does anyone know where Marco Scutaro lives?
notin replied to StephenCurry30's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
We’re fans but not stalkers… -
Guys like Drew Smyly and Michael Pineda have made a pretty good living off of those “Pay Me Now and I’ll Be Healthy Later” contracts…
-
Maybe because Verdugo is 4 years younger and there is hope he will tap into some more potential…
-
EVERYBODY drops Renfroe after one year. He hasn’t returned to the same locker room since 2019. This season will be his fifth team in 5 years…
-
But he also foreclosed on a home for wayward puppies…
-
So their projections aren’t in tune with the current state of the Patriots?
-
I imagine, like every FO, the Sox have their own projections. And it’s not like ZiPS or Steamer have any sort of outstanding track record that they shouldn’t be ignored in favor of alternative methods. I mean, it’s not like their blowing off WAPM…
-
Hopefully Mondesi will be ready soon to get back on the field so he can injure himself again…
-
And one injury…
-
And Turner can as well…
-
Very possible. Most of Bloom’s acquisitions do seem to fare pretty well with Defensive Runs Saved…
-
I actually think Cora is pretty fond of him as well. Arroyo’s issue isn’t talent…
-
Maybe they do. Arroyo could certainly be better than Andrus, but his history has a lot of risks. I’m surprised they didn’t try harder for Andrus, who certainly wasn’t looking for big money or long years. At least not at this point…
