    I'll take the over, but I'm always going to be optimistic. This group does seem special though.
  2. Hugh2
    I thought the contract was premature, but I won't freak out. Bello is the 4th youngest player to play for this team this year out of 43 mlbers. He's having a bad year, a really bad year, hopefully he can learn from it. I wouldn't even mind seeing if he can ramp it up in the bullpen come playoff time if the Team can add a starter at the deadline.

    If I had to bet on who has the highest chance of having MVP seasons, I'd put my money on Anthony.
  4. Hugh2
    I mean, my money is still on Mayer/Anthony but yes....that permutation of the future certainly exists.
  5. Hugh2
    Did you guys know that facts are indisputable.
  6. Hugh2
    Well, this really goes beyond my point, which is no one really knows. Including me, you, and the Red Sox. If I was going by the Soxprospects scouting reports, and I DO, I’d 100% agree with your statement. But they’d be the first ones to tell you that they can get it wrong. You can’t predict a humans future.
  7. Hugh2
    Well, you have fail with your Middlebrooks and your Swiharts to get to your Bogaerts and Betts. Maybe Mayer is a complete bust but Campbell ends up being a perennial allstar along with Teel. Who knows.
  8. Hugh2
    Yoan Moncada, Casey Kelly, Lars Anderson, Anthony Ranaudo, Anderson Espinoza, Will Middlebrooks, Jay Groome, Michael Chavis. Prospects will break your hearts guys.

    I forgot, thats how pro scouts do it working for these multimillion/billion-dollar franchises. They look at box scores and determine how good players are.
  10. Hugh2
    Why do people assume based on a few good weeks that teams (who literally are the experts doing this for a living) would even overinflate a guys value MORE and pay a big premium for them?
  11. Hugh2
    MVP? say it ain't so. See comment above, I'm never fully off any train but Duran is starting to become a favorite, and given this teams recent track record with fan favorites it would be an awful look trading him.
  12. Hugh2
    I agree, and that was my take as well, but more recently there had been people talking about trading Duran now that his value is sky high. I mean, everyone should be tradeable hypothetically for the right price. But Duran is a keeper, when you finish last place 3 out of 4 years and you have to operate within the confines of a budget, you NEED young cost-controlled talent to build a winner. We need more Durans.
  13. Hugh2
    We are literally about a year removed from “if he can just be more consistent with the bat he might be passable in left field” with Jaren Duran.
  14. Hugh2
    Yes, when teams are in last place. People talk about selling off expiring assets. When a team is (checks notes) in the playoffs, people talk about buying. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

    Step one: remove stick from butt Step two: enjoy a win for once
  16. Hugh2
    I’ll drive
  17. Hugh2
    Can’t remember who had a hardo for trading Duran but you still want to “maximize his value”?????
  18. Hugh2
    Every poster who I’ve seen suggesting Jansen as a trade chip on this forum, myself included, has done so under the condition we are sellers. We are not sellers.
  19. Hugh2
    Hottest team in baseball
  20. Hugh2
    Well this is embarrassing, posting in a game thread from a week ago. What a win
  21. Hugh2
    Are we sellers again?
  22. Hugh2
    At that time it wasn't looking great, and players usually don't improve like he did on defense. I'm totally ok not taking a chance to get some more years of him in his 30's. His best skill is still his speed, and that is the first skill to decline.
  23. Hugh2
    Given that it's shaping up to be a robust sellers market, you might have to pay a little bit more than that to wiggle Alonso away from another team.
  24. Hugh2
    Duran is turning into one of my favorite players on this team. But isn't he controlled through his age 31 season? No need go the extension route there.
  25. Hugh2
    But he can really hit lefties, which we badly need. He should be dirt cheap as well. I haven't given up on Vaughn Grissom, but I have for this year, and he's probably best served to be groomed into a utility role. Buy Rodgers/Alonso and DFA Dalbec/Smith. Smith has actually been playing much better lately, so perhaps you can trade him, but he's redundant when Casas comes back, and Alonso can DH or split time with Tristan when he does.
