It's stupid I know but we just score more runs than opposing team night after night. When pitching sucks, we outfit the other team. When we don't hit, we pitch even better.
-
Right. We'll spend $200M+ going forward. No reason we're not competing for playoff spot.
-
We decided Shaw was not the long term solution at 3B when we traded him.
-
Real Magic # is 4. With each win or Houston loss totaling 4, we'll have the home field advantage throughout.
-
We have Sale for another year at $13.5 (club option)
-
I think we need to take chance in couple of areas. Shore up the team at trade deadline. Let all FA go this year if we win it all.
-
Thank you for that. Moon thinks Dalbec is old?
-
Is Brasier good enough to be a closer?
-
If that's the case we better quit drafting college kids. Aren't they 21 usually when drafted after junior year? How many position players jump right into majors? Case can be made it's better because at 28 they may still be under team control.
-
Interesting that Dalbec was both Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year. Devers, Chavis and Dalbec our future DH/1B/3B combo?
-
Qulity starting pitching is a must. Can we add depth at around $10M? 2019 Sale, Price, E Rod, Porcello, Wright, Vector, Johnson solid 2020 Sale, Price, E Rod, Wright, Vector, Johnson....no way we let Sale go. 2021 Sale, Price, E Rod (final yr of arb), Vector, Johnson
-
I just think Dustin abused his body by giving 200% on a body that couldn't give 100%. It's pretty amazing what he's accomplished.
-
I don't think we re-sign Porcello at $20M plus and sign Sale and Xander. Something has to give. After 2018 for 2019 season Sox pick up approximately $56M (22+8.5+13+3.8+9=Hanley+Pom+Kimbrel+Kelly+additinal cap space) Basically we have $56M to cover arb raises ($20M?) and Kimbrel if we want. We'll be good again in 2019 After 2019 for 2020 season, Sox will pick up $19M on Pablo, $20M on Porcello and $6.5M on Mitch for total of $45M. Do we have enough money to sign Sale (additonal $17M), Xander (additional 10M) and re work JD's contract while covering arb raises? We should be competitive in 2020. Whats obvious is that Sox hasn't developed in house starting pitching talent. Can we do another Miller to Baltimore trade? Or do something really drastic and trade one of our best players for cost controlled proven talent.

JBJ is a 4 year arb guy....he becomes FA with Betts
-
http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/red_sox/2018/09/mlb_notes_red_sox_have_been_cornered_without_jose_abreu Great read on what could have been with Abreu
-
quite honestly, he should just retire. We're going to win 105+ without him. Let that sink in.
-
He has value on this Red Sox team. No more, no less. What can you get for him in a trade? Not much.
-
We keep using him.
-
Can we just stick a fork in Pomeranz?
-
Only Kimmi approves. Did I just say that?
-
He's a closer, not a reliever, Moon. Closers have their own union and PR department, didn't you know?
-
That's why if we win the Big One this year, this organization needs to do some soul searching. How to set up for success over next several years and not just 2019. At some point, we'll have to reset our payroll structure. Soon to be expensive players coming due for free agency while we have high sticker price players already under long term contracts.
-
Or Tampa Bay?
-
Rank relievers for the playoffs as of today. I don't want Kelly. 2nd coming of Clay B. Brasier, Thornburg, Barnes, Hembree, Johnson, Vector, Poyner, Wright, Workman, Scott, Eavoldi. Who is 1-7?
-
Basically anyone can see the talent in Kimbrel two years ago. It's just money and players to get him. Can we identify next great closer? Isn't that what good baseball people are able to do? Who saw Brasier coming this year after spending several years away from MLB? Bonus to the scout that saw him overseas.
