In reality, Hanley's contract is no different than Pedey's. They are both more valuable to the Sox than to anyone else. What team would be willing to trade for Pedey? Will the White Sox trade Sales for Pedey even up? I seriously doubt it. They are not going anywhere at this stage of their careers.

wow...thanks...I became a Red Sox fan in 1967...I was eleven at the time. Rico Petrocelli (sp?) was my guy. I played SS. lol
-
Dalbec definitely is interesting guy. 3B who is a former college pitcher throwing 92's. 6' 4" with power if he can connect. To me, he's more interesting than say Ockimey.
-
I believe Yaz was the only player to hit over .300 in 1968. Second place was something like .293. Bob Gibson's ERA was 1.12 or something crazy. They lowered the mounds shortly after, no? Also was it Mickey Lolitch or Denny McClain that won 30 games or something?

Beni should get plenty of opportunities vs the Orioles. We may face four right handers. He's as solid as they come at his young age. He's a professional offensively and defensively. His low bar is Shaw's performance this year. His upside I think is higher than Xander's.
-
Hill has been a disappointment. I thought he would hit some extra bases in Fenway. I hate his swing. He's late and does not go opposite field with authority. Lazy fly balls and pop ups.
-
Worst Case C Sandy 1B Hanley 2B Pedey 3B Shaw SS Xander LF Beni CF Bradley RF Betts DH Young....throw in Sandy to DH when not catching, Swihart and Holt Solid lineup, definitely a notch or two down from this year.
-
I'm with you. I'm thinking OK, we can only be down by 1 game to the Orioles if we lose all 4. I can't help myself. Ugh.
-
Little concerning what Clay, Ed and Pomey has given us lately.
-
Throw in that Ortiz is retiring, on what planet does it make sense to get rid of him? You are correct, not sure what we'll get in return. He'll finish out his contract as a Sox (3 more years. Last year is vesting based on plate appearances.)
-
Hanley is on fire.....
-
Yep, we don't need to do anything....but Wright is hurt, Pomeranz again struggling, we need to kick tires this off season. I'm all for picking up a top of rotation starter.
-
I knew it was a long night when Pomeranz refused to pitch to butterball with runner on 2nd base in the first inning. He's such a f***ing pussy. Note to the management. Pussies can't play in Boston. Give these f***ers a pussy test. Pomeranz is a f***ing pussy. Got it?
-
Why even play this f***ing game? Oritiz not playing. Sandy on the bench. It made more sense to play Sandy tonight and rest him after a night game, ie Saturday. Pomeranz is a big f***ing pussy but JF didn't give him a chance to win. JF needs to be canned. He's a horrible manager.
-
But we will be trading from strength....we don't really have to do anything. There's some chirping on White Sox end to rebuild. It's also better for them to make a trade with some team control years left on their aces. Otherwise, at some point, teams will wait out for free agency and White Sox get nothing.
-
Will Moncada, E Rod and Kopech entice White Sox for Sales?
-
I don't like to bring guys back that we parted with for whatever reason, thus my staunch opposition to signing Napoli. Trumbo is definitely an option we should pursue. We will need a power bat to replace Ortiz. AL East is made up of bangers. We can't completely ignore it. And if we do win the whole thing, Sox should pursue White Sox starting pitching. They will be rebuilding in my opinion.
-
Blue Jays lose. Every game matter until October 2nd. Get the damn Yankees.
-
I believe Papi is not playing. That puts Hanley as DH or maybe Young. Keep Beni in left field. Hill at 3B and Hanley 1B. Young DH. Or Young in LF. Hanley DH. Hill at 3B and Shaw at 1B.
-
Or his cavalier attitude about the 'new' strike zone. He was sticking to his principle, damn the team so what if I'm striking out looking. For that, he can stay in Cleveland forever where Tito is willing to kiss his ass every day. No f***ing thanks.
-
Any idea how soon in 2017 Smith will be ready?
-
DD if nothing else is programmatic. He's methodical when addressing needs. #1 off season issue = lining up the bullpen #2 off season issue = additional depth/upgrade at starting pitching #3 off season issue = dealing with not having Ortiz Koji, Ziegler and Tazawa are all free agents. I have a bad feeling JF is high on Tazawa. I will scream if he says Tazawa struggled because he was overworked. On paper, we look to be strong with our five, assuming Wright returns to norm. What to do with Clay....good grief, it's never easy with the guy. It maybe that we go next year with what we have, plug in Hanley and Young at DH, move around Shaw and Moncada. It should be a fun winter. White Sox may be ready to go young. What are we willing to give up?
-
Pass on Napoli.....why the love affair with the guy that was big part of Sox trending downward? Move on, quit romanticizing the past. Hell he's definitely past his prime. Spend the money more wisely. I don't want to see a 180 strike out guy in this dynamic lineup.
-
I get it that Beni is technically a rookie, but everyone else should be moved up one. He ain't coming back to the minors. I'm intrigued by power bats, Bobby Dalbec and Josh Ockimey. I think Dalbec will always strike out much like Orioles Davis but looks to have legit power. It will be interesting to see if the Sox will reshuffle the deck and trade for a top of the line SP. You've mentioned that White Sox maybe rebuilding. Obviously we'll have to give up some players. Will the Sox be willing to clean out the farm system? Price, Porcello, Sales, E Rod, Pomeranz, Wright looks formidable.
-
Very good point. Other teams have 2 less games to make up ground. We don't have to gain ground, although that would be helpful, but we just need not to lose ground.
