Bloom is this you? Pham can play quality 4th OF Hosmer is a Beer Leaguer, it was good move only if you could have flipped him for a prospect during deadline or the thinking is he will opt in and cheap money nets you a prospect in off-season. At the moment the beer leaguer is blocking Casas who deserves a call up and that is the bigger ? If Casas is the future why this clown? 2 rising prospects for Vazquez? Abreu caught my attention but the other stiff was to old for the level and can’t play D Playoff or no playoff Evoldi and Martinez should have been dealt! Now if reports were correct and Bloom was asking for to much then He made a mistake. The return on trades is mind boggling since it’s always an older prospect to old for the level the player is in It’s a f###ing train wreck since DD was let go and Betts was traded You cannot deny that fact!

Again, enough of the payroll cutting bullish!t! If you think for a second Boston has a budget your delusional! Yes, Ownership might set a budget but when your making an estimated $500 million plus gross since 2015 (excluding 2020) I’m sure Henry isn’t worried about paying his light bill! The bottom line is this, Orlando is an incompetent GM or whatever his title was or is this week All the guy had to do was find a 1B and Closer for 22 and roll with it! Jansen was available that should have been the #1 target not Storyland ! Injuries are part of the game. When injury occurred to CF 2B and SP that’s when you start looking at your ML system and the trade market for help Orlando put this team behind the 8 ball before the season ever started and should be fired because of it! Those are the facts and the facts are undisputed!

Orlando the Dumpster Diver continues with 2 more beer league pitchers signed! A 33 year old and a 27 year old garbage arm, priceless! Orlando needs to grab his b@lls and release Dalbec call up Casas who has hit well after injury Release a bullpen arm and see what German has? Phantom DL a SP and give Mata a shot see what you got The Circus continues over at Frankie Valli drive!

Remember the Valentine fiasco pink hats? Ole Bobby boy was an embarrassment to the bottom line, he gone! Orlando will follow before the winter meetings, Take it to the bank! Epstein on speed dial Get the finances in order cuz when 25 comes, Derby champ says New York or Boston is the preferred destination, bet on it!

Henry has done this before with the Sox. It’s a roller coaster ride some years pay some years he cry’s poverty but like I said he always had a competent GM to ride the wave. He did the same thing in England with that soccer team and fans went nuts and look at the hockey club, go read a penguins forum Henry is no dummy, he might come across as one but after this train wreck I don’t see Orlando surviving this off-season Rumor has it Epstein was in Town for almost a week? Make the f##king call John, Larry left long ago

Like I said, moneyball or whatever ball these front office nerds are playing hasn’t won a championship

Your best prospects are always in lower levels, AAA full of beer leaguers Casas not included Mayer looks as if he is the real deal, Yorke has struggled in high A but was injured, BJordan has been looking very good All 3 attack the pitch aggressive hitters with power Pitching is suspect? Plenty of low level arms but again I believe the ML development system needs an overhaul I spoke with a Scout years ago for Angels I remember he said Boston’s AA Team was in a terrible location weather wise, just to damn cold April May early June for players to get acclimated He was right. I spoke with former prospect Nick Longhi and he said the same thing when talking to his teammates who started the season up there

Since Moon has me on ignore JBJ out right released. Im assuming he was bought out for 8 mill which was the 23 clause?

22 is in the books You needed a sweep of KC this weekend to stand a chance with a very tough week coming up After the bullpen blowing yet another game here Thursday vs kc, time for management to bring up the Prospects and see what you have going forward Casas German Mata Abreu I’d love to see Mayer for a week in September, kid has a sweet stroke, sweet!

Stork is that you ?

Team started 10 20 with 8 blown saves No closer but you have a Coors field 2B until age 34 at 20 plus Jansen (1 yr 16) should have been the target he signed late if Orlando offered him 20 you don’t think he would have signed here? What part of this don’t you understand?

Any NSong news for 23?

Amen Clint! At the moment Bloom is two steps back and one step forward From what I’ve heard from a distance relative of mine who was a backup OF for the Mets in the mid to late 70’s and worked within the Mets Scouting department in the early to mid 80’s his take on Tampa over the years was that of the moneyball philosophy which in fact is all statistical driven without more times than not “physically scouting a player” Moneyball’s other philosophy was never draft a high school player, draft college players and when making trades your always looking for older prospects with emphasis on on OBpct and slugging not taking into account the other offensive metrics Now Bloom did draft a high schooler first round in 21 and again in 22 which does question his philosophy and overall outlook of what his plan might be? Look at Blooms deals, most of the prospects traded for are in the 22 to 24 year old range playing at a lower level than where they should be. More times than not you can trade for those players with ease in hopes of landing a legit moneyball player which takes the Arb years into the players late 20’s which in moneyball terms is the players peak years Moral of my story, moneyball never won a World Series. Far as Bloom goes, I can’t figure out the direction he is trying to go in which in fact st the moment has not been trending upward

I agree, I give Bloom a B+ on the deal. The prospect Abreu is a legit RF with a great arm and has turned into a power bat at a power bat position He is a little older but I would get him up and start him in RF see what you got?

I’ll give 1B a pass since I think the plan was for Casas to eventually take over but he was injured and the plan went out the window Story signing money wise is a head scratcher. It’s a bad deal for a Coors field player but again I’ll give Bloom a pass here since Boston is a major market team Sale Evoldi well it’s the risk you take Injuries are a risk Again Renfro trade started the downfall

2021 was a great year! Bloom didn’t take what he already had in place and add. He started subtracting and it snow balled Just like you stated, there was zero reason to trade Renfro , zero. You could justify the AB deal because ultimately he landed Renfro 30 100 players do not grow on trees. Second mistake was not signing Jansen! Again, the first 30 35 games into 22 you had double digit blown saves

Hosmer for most of his contract paid for and I mean 90% or better is a good move The 2 prospects are to old for the level there at. Age 23 in A ball don’t cut it Again if Hosmer can hit a little flip him in the off-season for another chip

I heard weight issues were a concern

Is SD absorbs 90% of Hosmer’s deal it’s a very good move Again only if Boston is on the hook for very little I still move Martinez! Casas looks like the real deal here since returning to AAA Free up the DH for both Casas and hosmer JD was great but to old to warrant any extension with Devers and XB looming Make a deal Bloom I’m gaining confidence by the minute

You cannot predict injuries Again, all this GM had to do was bring back the 21 OF

Again, if your rebuilding then rebuild! Don’t acquire a 34 year old bear leaguer with a 2 million buyout in 23 for what, to win 72 games instead of 70? F##king joke!

Justify this Vazquez trade then? go ahead let me hear it Organization has no catching, you deal your #1 guy for again, Orlando loves the 23 to 25 year old prospects in AA Valdez has no position defensive liability Abreu although might have value and can play RF but .250 career hitter thus far It’s not about the prospects it’s about dealing your #1 C at cheap money

Power bat great 21 season. 4 million more in Arb you pencil him in RF another season Just think AB Renfro were traded for beer leaguers and JBJ whose salary 9.5 and say he’s bought out at 8, 17.5 tied up with a player who is 34 and cannot hit You could have had 2 productive players for less money than your paying Bradley!! It makes zero sense

Lmao It won’t be long Red, after today’s incompetence by Orlando, Henry will have no choice but to can this clown like he did Valentine in 12 Bye bye

Read my post Hugo, I state facts and the facts are undisputed Again, put your finger in one ear and listen, if AB and Renfro were not traded you have 2 legit OF’s, Hernandez in CF gets hurt you only have to replace 1 player not 3 referring to this season There is no logic in any of the moves Orlando has made , zero If you believe he’s the next Epstein ( 3 titles) your mistaken
