    How? He has one more home run and worse defense. How, given what he’s done this year (here and now) has he done that gives credit to your claim that he’d make a difference. he certainly makes a difference, but no more than Contreras has to date. And I’d argue the defense is the big separator between the two right now

    Calling your plays out loud while you move the goal posts I see???

    Ranger is just the money spent. The “Con man” has been good. contreras is .286 with 16 home runs. Alonso is .245 with 17 home runs. So, what basis do you have that Alonso would make a big difference? I mean, don’t use last years stats here and now here and now. And let’s not talk about defense, which easily tips the scales to Wilson. here and now, Sox are better with Contreras than they would be with Alonso…here and now
  4. Hugh2
    If we sign Alonso we likely don’t sign Suarez and we don’t trade for Contreras and we are even worse right now.
  5. Hugh2
    Well If thats the case I’d trust him to sell them…..just not to turn around and flip them.
  6. Hugh2
    But here and now here and now….unless it’s here and then then it’s here and then.

    Ryan Braiser played for the Dodgers after the Sox DFA’d him that made him a big league pitcher for the best team….so what?
  8. Hugh2
    Contreras has played better than Alonso too, but the here and now doesn’t matter here and now but rather the here in now back in early December. I suppose that would be the here and then?

    he replied to your SSS comment with his “here and now” comment. I then baited him in with a completely different example and he took the bait and switched the goalposts. Here and now. When Jordan was traded the “here and now” was he was a lower ranked prospect who was seen as a right handed platoon at 1b with no speed and struggled against velocity. “The here and now” is he’s still only ranked 25th in the Cardinals system with the same profile but a decent batting line in only 31 at bats. somehow a different SSS reverses the logic. What a guy is doing now doesn’t change the history when it doesn’t make one’s point I suppose. I suppose some people just can’t appreciate the here and now of Caleb Durbin.

    You don’t see the irony in this do you?
  11. Hugh2
    Contreras has been one of the best hitters in the AL but it’s a settle because of how he was perceived in the past? Does the same apply to a prospect who many scouts didn’t think would pan out and looks ok on just 30 at bats? im confused, is it a settle or a here and now?
  12. Hugh2
    A settle? Here and now he’s great. Not a settle
  13. Hugh2
    Here and now, he’s 5 for his last 8. He’s an elite middle of the order bat. Here and now
  14. Hugh2
    Tracey is doing fine with what he’s been given. you can’t make Chicken soup from chicken s***.
  15. Hugh2
    Caleb Durbin is playing like an MVP and proving this to be the best trade ever
  16. Hugh2
    Tolle was a Breslow draftee. So was Brandon Clark
  17. Hugh2
    Idk, I feel like it could go either way with Duran. I wouldn't be surprised if a trade really got in his head and he has a very hard time adjusting to a new home. I would be equally unsurprised if he started playing at an elite level again.

    I think BTV losses a lot of value around the trade deadline. Someone like Chapman has very little trade value a surplus value of 3.5 But we know that someone like him is going to go for way over his "book value" for lack of a better term at the dealine. Whatever Chapman brings back, I suspect BTV could reject that trade at the moment.
  19. Hugh2
    Agreed. So practically, we are just waiting for more buyers to step into the fold to start selling.
  20. Hugh2
    It's June 18th, there's still a lot of "are we buyers or are we sellers" out there and I'm not just talking about Boston. But if a month from now things look as grim as they do now, it's sell time.
  21. Hugh2
    I can't tell you how many times I've responded to a post then continue reading to see it was addressed.
  22. Hugh2
    Reportedly Sandovals stuff hasn't looked half bad in his rehab, if he gets some innings up.....I actually think he might surpise people and he has value.
  23. Hugh2
    Yup, we went through all that. I was wrong
  24. Hugh2
    a building where no one wants to put any money into?
  25. Hugh2
    IDK, I'd certainly love some of the Mariners suspects right now.
