    And he will make many say “maybe Yoshida really wasn’t so bad…”
  2. notin
    I think of him as our Littlefinger…
  3. notin
    He was fighting above his weight class!! Didn’t Tyene Sand literally die on the bench?
  4. notin
    In keeping with the GOT theme, I am the Talksox poster equivalent of Beric Donderrion. I will die many times but I keep coming back anyway…
  5. notin
    I was thinking Oberyn “The Mandalorian” Martell. More of a high contact guy than a true power hitter. But he can get it done. Thoroughly fearless approach…

    Depth is essential. Keep Crawford even if it means Early spends April in Worcester. There will be enough starts for everyone…

    Hey who was the last player thr Red Sox got from the Lesser Sox that didn’t work out?
  8. notin
    More Game of Thrones references? When do we suggest Sandor Clegane as our new RHH power bat?
  9. notin
    You drank a whole round?

    Exactly how many pitchers are in the Top 5? Greene, Crochet, 2 Dodgers, and I’m assuming the last guy is named Skenes Skubal Sanchez?
  11. notin
    Agreed. He’s fine as a bench player. It’s probably worth remembering that at one point, he wasn’t even good enough to be rostered on arguably the worst team in MLB history…

    Fine! You call Breslow…
  13. notin
    You call Krall. I’ll call Breslow…

    THE Matt McShane? Or just some random Matt McShane you met at a pub?
  15. notin
    Is Ohtani really a #2 starter? 14 starts and 47 IP? We need someone either a bit more durability, dude…

    No award for “Craziest Entry That Turned Out To Be Wrong in the Least Expected Way”? My nominee is: Romy wound up with a slash line of .305/343/.483 for a 826 OPS (128 OPS+). Vientos finished with a .233/.289/.413 for a .702OPS (97 OPS+) Next year’s follow up? “Can Mark Vientos be the next Romy Gonzalez?”

    The Dodgers have $59mill coming off the books, headlined by Conforto ($17mill) and Kirby Yates ($13mill). They have 6 potential arbitration cases, none for anyone “essential”, totaling about another $17mill. The biggest arbs are Evan Phillips ($6.1mill this year) and Tony Gonsolin ($5.4mill). Any or all could realistically be non-tendered, giving them up to about $76mill freed up…

    Wasn’t that the logic behind Greene for Duran, Abreu, Perales, Tolle, and Romero or whatever it was that was proposed earlier?
  19. notin
    Agreed, and for Greene, I doubt Abreu moves thr needle nearly as much as Duran does. Lodolo for Abreu doesn’t seem unrealistic, or at least seems more realistic that Duran for Greene…

    Krusty postulated earlier that the Reds hold “all the cards.” But they are team with the specific needs. They need an outfielder that 1) can provide offense 2) remain affordable and 3) potentially play CF if they need to move Friedl to LF. Duran is on a very short list here. Especially since none of Roman Anthony, Jackson Chourio and Wyatt Langford figure to be available any time soon. Not sure why the Sox are expected to overpay by so much. Sure the Reds have the option of looking elsewhere, but is there a better fit for them that is available?
  21. notin
    I doubt it, too. They need outfielders that can hit. Neither Rafaela nor Campbell have shown that ability yet…
  22. notin
    Not sure why you keep bringing up Crochet. His career doesn’t change that Hunter Greene has very obvious durability issues. And citing “only started less than 22 games one time in 4 years” really isn’t the evidence against this that you appear to have presented it as. Greene has talent. No one questions that. I would overpay for him. But not to the level many seem to think it would require. It’s all moot anyway because if the Reds are trading him, they know something. They’re not moving their ace to get outfield offense. The Sox need hitting, too, but you don’t hear rumors about trading Crochet. Greene will be a Red next year. I feel much more confident about that statement than I do about saying the same for Lodolo, and especially for Singer…

    It doesn’t help that Boston is saddled with media that lives pushing conspiracy theories. This past year, I kept seeing stories about Devers being traded solely so Liverpool could afford their new star. This story was concocted because bad news sells, unlike good news. And it ignored that 1) Liverpool FC is far wealthier than the Sox and 2) that star (Florian Wirtz, who apparently was not Arya’s fencing instructor) made peanuts compared to Devers.

    Didn’t you cite WAR as a deterrent for Hoskins and Bell? That was exactly why I brought it up…

    Milwaukee has an $8mill team option and is coming off a season in which they made the NLCS. Is Peralta even available?
