    You're absolutely right
  2. 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.

    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.
  8. Hugh2
    Yeah, I get that, like me and Bellhorn have said, there's zero need to rehash this for the 10000000000000X time.
  9. Hugh2
    no.
  10. 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.
  11. Hugh2
    HA! we pretty much said the same thing.....ok moving on.
  12. 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.

    Oh I was talking about this year. But yeah you're right, but I still wouldn't want that contract.
  14. Hugh2
    I mean.....haven't we all changed our tune with this team???
  15. 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.
  16. 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.

    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.

    First time in the bonus pool era the Sox did NOT draft a college senior either.
  19. Hugh2
    Dude is such a stud he’s going to get ranked twice
  20. Hugh2
    4 of the 7 draftees have been pitchers so far.
  21. Hugh2
    Yup, which is why you're right and I'am wrong. TODAY But in two weeks from now? We shall see. I'll say this, to reiterate my point from before that I think are debate here highlights beautifully....this is exactly why teams don't sell early, and wait until up at the deadline.
  22. Hugh2
    I don't know either, and I can't think of a player drafted ever being a PTBNL, but then again I don't follow other teams prospects that get traded that much AND you'd think a player just drafted is going to hold a lot more value to the drafting team. Not really the kind of guy you trade.
  23. Hugh2
    Sometimes I try to think of things worked out differently. For example, Jeter Downs at SS/2B and a premium bat would look pretty damn good right now. Bloom at least had the right ideal in mind, it just didn’t work out. What does this team need the most right now? A starting pitcher and RHH bat up the middle. What if Grissom was healthy and playing like a lot of the experts thought he could? And what if Gio was healthy and pitching like a middle of the rotation starter? This doesn’t make it a good trade or justify it in anyway. And many years of team control allow the capacity for it to work out but right now you certainly have to put it in the loss column for Breslow. Point is, you can see the line of thinking in why those moves were made.
  24. Hugh2
    By this logic most teams are in it and most teams will be buyers or at least not sellers. I’m not saying you’re wrong and I am right, but if you have the 8th worse record in baseball, then unless things turn around in the next two weeks you have to at least consider selling. Regardless, this conversation highlights a very important point. This is EXACTLY why trade deadline deals typically happen closer to the deadline. Most teams in Texas like territory are still trying to figure out if they’re buyers or sellers. People often are critical of trades not being swung in June, the first week of July or sooner. Well this is why…….teams that are sellers aren’t sellers yet.

    I was being sarcastic, but while we are on the topic could a draft pick hypothetically be a PTBNL?
