    Idk man, I work with paper….some of those paper cuts can be brutal
  2. Hugh2
    I’m not claiming to know much about him either way, is he trending up or down? Idk….but the tigers liked him enough
  3. Hugh2
    Not every guy who is Injured is a broken man with no value, almost everyone gets injured at some point in their career. He’s young, throws 100 mph with elite spin, if the team saw him rehab and really likes him they don’t care if he’s been united this year he’s a secondary piece and still ranked top 100 for a reason, his stuff is on a whole different level than Uberstine. we are talking about the secondary piece for a two month rental of a guy, albeit, a really good guy but still just two months.
  4. Hugh2
    Correct, and having a top 100 prospect as your secondary piece ain’t too shabby
  5. Hugh2
    Ok, but no one ever valued Uberstine that highly, I’m confused are we comparing him to Uberstine now or Mayer? Idk how people value Mayer but obviously the Tigers valued Ryan to trade the best pitcher in baseball for him
  6. Hugh2
    If that’s the case why would you trade your Skubal?
  7. Hugh2
    Keith law also had him ranked as a top 50 prospect back in 2024 or 2025 idk
  8. Hugh2
    I’d like Ryan a lot better than Uberstine.
  9. Hugh2
    He’s literally ranked #68 by pipeline right now. When was Uberstine ever ranked?
  10. Hugh2
    Ryan was a top 100 guy with a 1.14 era in his first MLB starts before getting hurt. uberstine isn’t anywhere close to having that pedigree. a top 100 as the second piece for a rental is a pretty nice piece

    I was going to say that he's not the same player as he once was an reference his OPS vs RHP the last several years but Springer has reverse splits. He's better vs. RHP than he is against LHP. Or at least the last several years he has been. Except for this season, he has a .687 vs RHP and a .804 vs. LHP.

    Heres a trade that might work for Zach Neto Marcelo Mayer/Anthony Eyanson/Harold Rivas to LA for Zach Neto
  13. Hugh2
    True, but Narvaez has literally only played something like 5 games more than Wong, they’ve been splitting time 50/50. Unless you’re DHing him a lot then hypothetically you’re playing a lot more in the field. If that’s the case it’s not so lateral. If Wong stays then it’s certainly not lateral

    I'm in zero way against Goodman, but people should just be prepared for the upgrade in the bat to be slightly offset by a big hit to the defense behind the plate.
  15. Hugh2
    Realistically anyone with 30 HR power is someone who is sitting at 20 right, that's roughly 32 guys in MLB right now. A lot of those guys are not for sale, but a few of them will be. Goodman, Soto, Neto are names who have been thrown out on that list who have all had trade rumors surrounding them (some more than others). But I'd be perfectly happy with a high slugging 20 HR guy too who can also get on base and play a position of need with above average defense to better. That casts a much wider net and makes the probability of aqcuiring said player higher.

    If they take 2/3 from LA I'm further on board with this 2026 team, 1/3 has me cautiously optimistic, getting swept has me hopeful still, sweeping the Dodgers would fill my head full of grandeur dreams for the 2026 post season.
  17. Hugh2
    This series is going to be a test of how good this team really is, and to see if they can keep the momentum going. Just please don't get swept.
  18. Hugh2
    I don't care about Duran, do with him as they will. Stick with him or cut him lose. The essence of my question was how people generally felt about the team as a whole. When people refer to teams as "Buyers" or "Sellers" they're not thinking about a specific player but whether or not the team is going to sell off assets because they don't deem the team worthy of post season play or are they going to make a run at winning in October and they add pieces. I was just curious, as a month ago being buyers seemed unfathonable but here we are, I wonder if anyone is still in full sell mode????
  19. Hugh2
    Isn't every trade deadline buyer always selling a guy too? I want to know who thinks the 2026 Boston Red Sox should still be deadline sellers. Because they seem to be in a position where you should buy and try to win some playoff games.....perferably 13 of them.
  20. Hugh2
    Is there anyone who still thinks we should sell?
  21. Hugh2
    I mean, who in this draft class has a chance?
  22. Hugh2
    I think if they get both a SS and a Catcher at least one of them might be a big time play for more than just 2026, kind of like they did with Mead.
  23. Hugh2
    they were reportedly still going after a SS after the Mead trade, I think they will continue to do so with a higher degree of importance placed upon the position with Mead down.
  24. Hugh2
    I got that afterwards, that makes a lot more sense. In seems the Sox have a tendency of getting position players into games the same year they're drafted but usually not the pitchers. Here are when other recent position players drafted in the first two rounds made their debut on the Sox. Henry Godbout - August 8th 2025 Kyle Teel - August 3rd 2023 Nazan Zanatello - August 3rd 2023 Mikey Romero - August 9th 2022 Cutter Coffey - August 10th 2022 Roman Anthony - August 9th 2022 Marcelo Mayer - August 5th 2021 The only guy missing from this list is Braden Montgomery who didn't debut until the next year. I left him off the list because he was injured. So, if recent history is any precedent we should see these guys start to debut over the next week or two.

    I know right. I was in total sell mode a month ago but now I'm looking at keeping Contreras for another year, excited about Durbin, who I was very skeptical one but now it looks like they have found a gem in. Saurez will still be around after this year and they have it coupled with a nice youth movement too (Tolle/Bennett). Losing Anthony and Crochet and still being this good is a real testament to the depth built. Hats off to the team that never gave up and played their way back. I gave up on them, and never expected this.
