    I'm sorry, after Mayer and Story who is a MLB starting SS? IKF? Andruw Monasterio? Cheng? Which one of those guys are you referring to as a MLB quality every day player here in Boston for 2026 and beyond?
  2. Hugh2
    They don't have 4. They have two and a couple bench/utility guys. Your two are both injured and one you might ever be able to rely on again. You NEED 1 SS/2B guy.
  3. Hugh2
    I meant we don't need a shorts stop for the future, because we have Arias. That doesn't mean we don't need another one this year. Someone can move to 3B/2B after that.
  4. Hugh2
    Four Short Stops in house? Story injured - has had one decent year in the past 1/2 decade Mayer - Injured, and always injured. We don't have a timeline for either of those guys. Are the two bench bats the other two shorts stops you're refering too? Having a body doesn't mean a hole is filled. I consider 2B and SS analogous because they can move and any trade will have 2027 in mind as well IMO.

    I don't think it negates going all in on Neto (or another SS) at all, if they're going after someone LIKE Neto it's a move not just for this year but going forward as well and up the middle has a lot of question marks. If they make a big move, SS is a leading candidate to make that upgrade, perhaps LF/DH/C is right there too.

    At this stage of his career? His last three years he put up a 5.5, 7.7, and a 6.3 FWar.
  7. Hugh2
    Neto is certainly not my first choice.
  8. Hugh2
    He was promoted yesterday
  9. Hugh2
    4 years my bad, that’s still a lot. And if he’s opting out it’s because he was well worth it
  10. Hugh2
    I love how no one wants to give up the players they'd have to give up to get the players they want. Henry Godbout, Kyson Witherspoon and Sadbiel Dezline have equal surplus value to Anthony Eyanson but they do not make up from excluding him from a package for a premium player and they never will.
  11. Hugh2
    He could be and I would not hate that one bit at all. If he's mashing in AAA I don't know how you keep him down. Durbin/Arias/Lindor/Contreras in the infield.......I could get behind that.
  12. Hugh2
    No I get that, and when you do decide to buy people have to realize the perfect guy is not out there. There's only so many players for sale and everyone else wants them too. If you get stuck in the "well he's ok but he's left handed" "well he's ok but he should really be at this position" "well he's ok but I wish he was a few years younger" you will be stuck as the only guy at the dance without a dance partner.

    We don't need a SS, we could use a 2B though. Arias or Mayer will be the short stop next year.
  14. Hugh2
    There's a difference between wanting to hoard all your respects vs. I don't want to completely deplet the system. I also see nothing wrong in wanting to not overpay or liking a specific prospect but overall I agree, prospects are there to help the big league club and part of that is trading them away.
  15. Hugh2
    I want Lindor, I want Lindor under the notion that he's going to move to 2B at some point. Perferably when Arias comes up.
  16. Hugh2
    Here are some BTV Accepted trades for Neto: 1. Marcelo Mayer/Anthony Eyanson/Kyson Witherspoon 2. Yoeilinis Cespedes/Kyson Witherspoon/Anthony Eyanson/Justin Gonzalez 3. Anthony Eyanson/Justin Gonalez/Harold Rivas 4. Franklin Primera/ Kyson Witherspoon/Justin Gonzalez
  17. Hugh2
    Only thing I don't like about Neto is his defense. I suppose you could move him to 2nd/3rd and move up Arias to SS. Maybe not this year but certainly going forward in 2027 they can do that. He has the arm for 3rd, but the way Durbin has looked lately makes me think we have our 3rd baseman of the future now.
  18. Hugh2
    BTV ACcepts Mayer/Eyanson/Harold Rivas for one Zach Neto. Angels are getting $6 million surplus value from that trade, not sure if that's enough but it would certainly be close. I'd make that deal.
  19. Hugh2
    Witt has a surpluss value of $230 million, while Neto has surplus value of 60.1 million Witt's seems a little high, but he would still take a king ransom almost entirely not worth it. Neto may be more realistic and he offers multiple years of control.
  20. Hugh2
    He still has about 6 years of team control before he has an opt out.
  21. Hugh2
    I predict, no matter what Breslow does at the deadline 50% of people are going to complain about it.
  22. Hugh2
    Who is there to sign? free agency gets worse every year and there's very little going on the market in years to come. Lindor is not Story, and before this year he's been nothing but healthy and not only has he stayed on the field banged up but now that he's recovered he's been swinging a hot bat the past 3-4 weeks. You're also trading maybe one top prospect for him, as opposed to 3-4 if you wanted a younger guy.
  23. Hugh2
    I would be fine with Seth Lugo, I don't need a big name on the pitching side....just an innings eater. I'd save all the chips for offense.
  24. Hugh2
    I very much disagree. The pitching has been absolutely amazing this year, but it's also been decimated. The guys you have left pitching great are going to go way over their pitching limits. All of this is for nothing if we get to the post season and Tolle/Early/Bennett are useless. There's also no gurantee you get Crochet back before the playoffs. these pitchers take 4-6 weeks to ramp up in spring training and he's nowhere near even starting a rehab assignment. We really need to start thinking about him not coming back this year. JB is at 99 innings, his career high is 75 PT is at 105 innings.....this is his career high. You have two months left in the season and will need innings in the playoffs. You still have Early/Suarez on the IL and have no ideal when Crochet will be back if this year at all. This team needs a starter. It doesn't have to be anyone good but they need a starter who can give them innings.
  25. Hugh2
    Is it really so bad if there's a pitcher we don't know what to do with? I'm failing to understand how this is an issue seeing how we are already on our what is it? 10th man, 11th man? people can be traded or moved to the bullpen.
