    Honestly, if I thought Breslow was going to try and save his job by winning more games in a season that is obviously lost and trade the future away for just a few more wins now I'd fire him before the deadline.

    When is the last time the Sox had a legit fire sale? They've done this hug the line crap for years but have never really comitted to a "fire sale" It's not like they've traded away a lot of guys with value the last several years. They have chips this year that could really bring back players who have potential.

    But just why? I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if Devers bounces back a little next year but lets say his decline is real. He has a .729 OPS. Let's say that's is real and that is who he is. How is a .729 OPS guy who can't run, can't field, and is a pain in the butt teammate going to help this team? I think there may be a sense of nostalgia surrounding a player like Devers. But again, I think that ship has sailed.

    I mean we don't HAVE to trade him......but it makes no sense to hold onto him.
  5. Hugh2
    I'd be more excited about the extra money....it's a consolation prize for sucking.
  6. Hugh2
    surprisingly? or unsurprisingly

    Sir, that hole in the bottom of the ship.....it just got bigger.
  8. Hugh2
    We are Three months in and the Sox have gone from last place to first place!!!! The White Sox that is.

    The thing about Devers is if he IS declining, why even take him back at a reduced salary? It's not like he has other tools to carry him if the bat falls off a bit E.G. defense, speed on the bases, leadership etc. etc. I would have been fine with them keeping him, but at this point I believe the ship has sailed.

    I promise to be on point next summer. lol

    I usually pay closer attention in the month leading up to the draft. There is so much more fluidity between what a kid will be between 17/18 and 20/21 than there is when they're 10 years older. Someone who may be a top 10 pick in next years draft might be unheard of right now. Next year, because the pick is likely going to be high, I'm probably going to pay attention a little bit sooner.

    Obviously no one wants a high draft pick, but with the way this season is going I'm going to have to really start paying attention to the 2027 Draft class.

    I mean, he's been outperforming that contract. I believe me and Moon really really wanted him a few years back. But the no spenders had all their dreams come true with a Kike Hernandez & Christian Arroyo infield.

    It's also such an unfair argument to make. ANyone can claim almost anything, and we can work it in reverse too but you notice how they never do that? they never say "Chris Sale wouldn't have done that here" or "Kyle Harrison never would have pitched like that here" When Red Sox players go elsewere and perform well it's a wrong on the organization for letting them go. When Red Sox players go elsewhere and perform bad, they would have been doing better here and it's a wrong on the organization. Although I can see the virtue in such an argument, anything I want to be true can always be hypothetically true.

    IDK, his body language screams annoyed and he's walking away with his helmet up saying things into it. I thought I read somewhere that he slammed his helmet when he got into the dugout too. I don't think it was a language issue, Devers also understands English well, much better than he speaks it. I think this is just his behavior.
  16. Hugh2
    Unless my memory fails me I thought he was a polarizing prospect. Some had serious concerns about the swing while others thought he was going to great
  17. Hugh2
    Considering it's June 22nd that's a very interesting choice.
  18. Hugh2
    Agreed, there are plenty of teams who use Driveline who have had a ton of success. But something is very wrong in Boston right now.
  19. Hugh2
    That's fair, but it's still a part of him and tells a story. He's not some magic man with a crystal ball who will never trade away good prospects. He made some ballsy trades and the guys from Bostons system didn't pan out.
  20. Hugh2
    You can't go out and pitch for them. Dustin May, Walker Buehler, and Sean Newcomb have all been a TON better this year than they were last year in Boston. If they had pitched like that last year, those trades look a ton better. Just realizing Sean Newcomb was not a trade.
  21. Hugh2
    Campbell was a very polarizing prospect. There were many who believed his swing had a huge hole in it, and while he breezed through the minors it would be exposed at the MLB level. In hindsight, really feels like maybe they should have seen how it looked first. Also, if they were going to completely recreate his swing, maybe they should have demoted him a few levels and face off against worse pitching. If you're going to completely rebuild someone, do it from the beginning.

    I'm not trying to knock Dave D, his record speaks for itself but his affinity of trading away prospects that don't hit is pure luck. That's certainly how we see it through the lens of a Sox fan.....it's easy to forget that he worked elsewhere before Boston and traded away top prospects who turned into. Randy Johnson Trevor Hoffman Mike Piazza Johan Santana and others. When you trade heavy in volume you're going to have good names go in and out. Sox caught a good run in him for a brief period of time. He didn't truly know who was going to pan out and who wasn't, he just had the balls to pull off big trades and won them.
  23. Hugh2
    And Bobby Dalbec can hit them 500 feet too. Power is useless if you don't have the hit tool to tap into it. If Jordan becomes a regular MLBer I'll be happy for him, it's a nice story. But he can't hit velocity and he can't hit righties, he was ranked low and still only 25th in STLC system. That's about on par with what you give up for a middle reliever. Jordan has hit righties better this year, in AAA who knows what he becomes but he's very far down on the list of guys I wish we'd have back.
  24. Hugh2
    Not a good look for Devers at all.
  25. Hugh2
    All this, to distract us from the point that 31 at bats is a small sample size
