    I mean….Soto is on a different island.

    They won’t get much more than that from anyone for 1.3 years of a players who’s had one elite year and aside from that is good not great. BTV, values that trade as an overpay for Boston. I figure Boston would have to slightly overpay regardless. If Toronto believes their window is closed, they won’t do much better. Sox trade away one of their best prospects, possibly there best outside the “Big 3” a kid who is a little further away and is likely a 2B anyways. Toronto doesn’t do this deal if they think they can compete in 2025.

    I’ve been wrong more times than I’ve been right. But I did speculate the Sox could easily go position player in the first round and predominantly pitcher afterwards. 6 position players. 14 pitchers drafted.

    What concerns a ton of scouts is his swing, he's putting up the numbers in the minors but some people question if it will translate into the bigs. MLB pitching might be able to expose the holes in it the minor leaguers can not. But, I'm still loving what he's doing, and I hope he proves the nay-sayers wrong.
  5. Hugh2
    Agreed, and even then he pitched for half the year then hit the other half (or maybe it was the other way around). I would like to see them truly develop a two way player.
  6. Hugh2
    I mean, Trey Ball????? But that was more of them giving up on him being a pitcher and just saying "well f*** it lets see how he looks in the field"
  7. Hugh2
    I get what you're saying here, but I think these things are astronomically different. A player missing a week here and there is so much different than the entire freaking league only playing 1/3 of games. It's not that 2020 doesn't matter, but it comes with a huge asterik. That's just the way it is.

    BTV Accepts Yoeilinis Cespeds for Vladimir Guerrero JR. He's the pefect fit for this year. He's right handed, and can play 1B if Casas has a hiccup on the way back, spell Devers and play DH.
  9. Hugh2
    You're absolutely right
  10. Hugh2
    I mean, who in here can honestly say the've never done that???? Honestly???? Besides me of course.

    Puts hands over ears "la la la la la"

    ] I agree, but develop him on the mound too, that's where he is regarded best. Don't just let him hit like they did with Dalbec, certainly don't want to make that mistake again. It's preferctly plausible that a few years down the line he ends up dropping his development on one side of the ball to focus on pitching and hitting but not now.

    Not doing it.....not getting sucked back in

    Not actual picutre, it was an actual video of him from that day. I remember seeing that look on his face when he was interviewed at the meetings briefly after Bogaerts had signed elsewhere. Damnit Notin now you're drawing me back in too. Ok I'm down talking about Bogaerts in 3.2.1 no more.
  15. Hugh2
    I suppose "bring it up" is subjective. I was being sarcastic and poking fun at Bellhorn, I also thought that was a crazy contract he signed. You didn't have to fall back down the rabbit hole of going rabbid over Bloom, which by the way the money might of not of been there because HENRY wouldn't approve of it, he was als......goddamnit now you have me talking about it again. I'm done talking about Bogaerts.
  16. Hugh2
    Yeah, I get that, like me and Bellhorn have said, there's zero need to rehash this for the 10000000000000X time.
  17. Hugh2
    no.
  18. Hugh2
    We knew what you meant, but you can't throw red meat at us like that and expect us not to joke about it.
  19. Hugh2
    HA! we pretty much said the same thing.....ok moving on.
  20. Hugh2
    I think they legit tried to resign him, and were taken by surprise by the SD offer, as apparently all of baseball was. Body language reveals a lot, Bloom was bragging about big things happening that day and after Bogaerts signed he had a look on his face like his entire family just perished in a plane crash. Don't want to rehash this, it's been debated almost as much as Mookie on here, but some would come in and say the Sox botched the Bogaerts situation by not extending him further before he got to free agency, and I would be inclined to agree.
  21. Hugh2
    Oh I was talking about this year. But yeah you're right, but I still wouldn't want that contract.
  22. Hugh2
    I mean.....haven't we all changed our tune with this team???
  23. Hugh2
    I dunno, I'd rather have $75 million on the IL than $237 million on the IL. Also, seeing how he has -.1 WAR this year and Story has 0 War, Story has actually contributed more to the Sox.
  24. Hugh2
    I'm also not so certain Cason will be developed as a pitcher only, I know his ceiling is seen higher as a pitcher than as a hitter but the Sox announced him as a two way player so I'm not sold on him only pithing just yet.
  25. Hugh2
    I suspect some underslot deals, but I expect the underslot deals to be minimal compared to all other Sox drafts. For the first time in the bonus pool cap era the Sox signed not ONE college senior. This also means, we probably won't get any big bonus babies past round 10 today. I would really like to see the Sox identify some young highschool talent that maybe takes the money and goes pro, guys who will sign in the 200-300K range. Sure, these guys have a very low chance of panning out but in a draft that was considered weak I'd rather bank on that upside rather than just sign a bunch of college seniors with no real upside. I get they have to fill out minor league rosters as well, and you still want good guys on those teams. Reality is most of these guys will never make it to the bigs, but you want good dudes playing the Marcelo Mayers of the world and not D-bags. The little things matter.
