I do enjoy watching young players improve so no matter in 2021 I don't think it'll be a complete waste. I do think the team owes it to the fans and position players alike a respectable starting pitchers in all 162 games. Bring out the young guns. Was it the year after the E Rod trade that he had a very good season? The team sucked but I made sure to watch his every start....
-
No doubt Dave would have given up couple of young players to acquire a manager, whether needed to or not. He just loves to give away players.
-
The four main players the Red Sox traded at the August 31 deadline -- Moreland, pitchers Heath Hembree and Brandon Workman and outfielder Kevin Pillar -- are all free agents. Boston acquired Potts, Rosario and pitchers Nick Pivetta, Connor Seabold and Jacob Wallace in three separate deals. Good job by Bloom.

You don't just kick off a guy that's meant so much to the organization. It's about doing it the right way. Pedey knows what's coming. We're simply giving him a courtesy call and asking his permission to get him off the active roster (we don't need his permission obviously). Nothing more. You do it out of respect. Nothing, nothing changes in terms of financial liability to Pedey and there's no impact on luxury tax implications. We own it. I don't like the way he was taken out of action. It wasn't clean. The guy who did it is an *******. I remember him trying to step on 1B's foot also intentionally. Dirty player. He took away 4 years of playing career.

Building a championship team requires patience. A group of talent must arrive at about the same time. That's the trick. Timing wise it's not working out for E Rod. Missing 2020 did not help his cause. No way I let him become a free agent on my dime. Bloom won't either.
-
After nine years, has the boy genius done enough in Chicago? I do realize he spent first three years reshuffling the deck and getting rid of inflated salaries. They look to be on the verge of rebuild. Do we expect more from Bloom? I certainly do.

I don't get the love affair with Moncada. Sox thought they had better candidate in Devers. Pedey was still in play at 2B. You're not going to get Sale's contract for NOTHING. I wished we didn't have to give up Kopech. He's the only one I regret giving up but he's also hurt.
-
Yeah, there's big market money and then there's Yankees money. Even without a ring, Hal wakes up every morning and realizes how lucky he is....
-
For me the biggest question mark is what to do with E Rod.....can we get something for him this winter? Or hope he's back to 'normal' in 2021 and trade him at deadline? If we are shooting for 2022, only way he's a Sox will cost us. Not sure if I want that with some young arms coming up by then. I'm encouraged by both the Moreland trade and the Workman/Hembree trade.
-
Officially I'm not counting on Sox being competitive until 2022. I just don't see it. It'd be like drawing an inside straight with Ace, 3, 5.
-
What does Yankees must do in 2021 to get to the World Series? Any newcomers in horizon (not FA)? How long will the Rays last? Can they repeat what they did in 2020? Did the short season help the Rays more than the Yankees? Just curious....

Looks like we have some high ceiling kids on this list....Bloom already has made some shrewd moves to bolster our farm
-
Just glad to see the Rays in the World Series. With that budget, they've done some amazing things. Glad we have one of their architects.
-
Adjusted for inflation, he was as tall as Beni...
-
Do you ever get tired of playing Monday morning quarter back?
-
I meant Beni plays like a 5'7 guy because his wingspan is -3.
-
Extending Beni makes absolutely no sense...hell his best days maybe behind him....putting on muscle was the worst thing to do on a 5' 7 body....now he's really slow.....
-
good one...
-
I stopped counting at $300....I can't comprehend that type of money.... Best quote from Ray Charles when told he lived modestly by an interviewer, paraphrasing..."No matter how much money you have, you can only eat three times a day"..I liked that...
-
I think Kimmi is right in saying the goal is to get into the playoffs then anything can happen, good or bad. You pay Betts $300M because over a course of 162 game season, cream will rise to the top. But during the season, even Betts can have series of two or three where he struggles. So how well he plays during playoffs can vary from year to year. But I think pitchers are different. I'm not sure they go into prolonged slumps as do position players. Why? Not sure but maybe thinking a hitter is good when he hits .300 has something to do with it. Pitcher is still winning 70% of the battle. Pitching and defense still wins big games. So I would take Sale at his best over Betts at his best in a 7 game series.
-
Mookie is 2 for 14 wit no extra base hits in the division championships. That just illustrates what a crap shoot the playoffs are...there are no guarantees....$300M is lot of money...
-
If the Dodgers get knocked out, then it's been a perfect playoffs. We garnered a fourth pick for playing lousy for 60 games. It would have been difficult to watch/follow this team for 162 games. It was quick. Meanwhile the Yankees' young talent got year older and more expensive. If the Dodgers swing and miss, then their World Series drought extends another year. I can't wait for this off season. Our farm system looks to be getting stronger and fuller. There are some pitching prospects on the horizon.
-
Whatever happened to Feltman.....wasn't he thought of as major league ready reliever coming out of college? LSU guy?
-
We have to grab a pitcher.....again, please stay away from high school kid...
