    yeah, he could if he wants to pay the price of admission.

    https://prospectsavant.com/player/807713 His milb numbers look much better. He was a newbie, he's young. I'd be much more concerned if it continues.
  3. Hugh2
    I mean, I get it, but is that worth having a black hole in the infield?
  4. Hugh2
    That's pretty close in value, a slight underpay according to BTV. But I wouldn't hate that.
  5. Hugh2
    Of course

    For years we always heard and regurgitated the Mantra "we can trade hitting for pitching, we can trade hitting for pitching" And I believed in that. So shouldn't it also be true that we can trade pitching for hitting? If it takes one of Tolle/Early to get a solid infielder then so be it. We will still have one of those guys + Harrison, Crawford, Bennett, Witherspoon, Valera, Phillips, Eyanson + The pitching in the organization will be fine, go out and get a guy. The big league club desperately needs it.

    I really really like Early a lot, but if the Sox open the season with IKF as the starting 2nd baseman it' comes to light that Sox were unwilling to give up Early.....he better turn into a solid #2 or higher.

    I mean.....trying to F**K your bosses wife is going to get you fired from most places.

    If Rodgers was signed to be the starting 2Bman, why didn't they sign him to a MLB contract?
  10. Hugh2
    $6 million is bench bat money, Rogers is playing in AAA.

    You seem like a cool dude Drewski. i love your take on Christmas present giving 😂😂😂
  12. Hugh2
    Is this in the apple store?
  13. Hugh2
    If they all hit their ceilings that would be rather unprecedented, but it is fun to dream.

    That A+ rotation looks like a future A+ rotation. Now, lots can happen with young pitchers but lots of upside there.

    It's all the internet. These types of moves never really got reported on back in the 90's but they happened. Today, everything is front and center and in your face with how quickly information spreads with Twitter, the internet, etc. So people see that story posted about the Sox adding a guy in the minor league rule 5 that years ago they never even would have heard of. I mean, I get it, but it's a little frustrating to see people undermine such moves. You have to field a minor league roster. Franklin Arias has to throw the ball to someone at 1B down in Portland, Payton Tolle has to pitch the ball to someone in AAA, etc etc etc. Someone might call them suspects, but we all know that some of those "suspects" are going to bloom into studs.....and I think it's important to have good people around them while these kids are developing. I just never get worked up over such moves. IKF is fair game, because at this point we just don't know what he is. Starting second baseman? or infield utility guy?
  16. Hugh2
    I wonder if people would look at this deal differently if the Sox signed or traded for a better 2B first and then signed IKF? If he was perceived as the utility type that he should be (hopefully is) then it's actually a great signing.
  17. Hugh2
    I think if you acquire Paredes you gotta bring that grade up to an A- Sure, I can see a B for the offense alone, but they aced the pitching staff this offseason. They drastically improved their defense at 1B and Contreras is an offensive weapon (albeit, not Schwarber) and IKF drastically improves the defense as a backup SS/2B/3B player. But if he's your starting 2B the offense has the capacity to look very ugly. If more goes wrong than right you're easily a bottom 1/3 for runs scored in all of MLB.
  18. Hugh2
    When?
  19. Hugh2
    While I still think adding offense up the middle is a concern that has gone unaddressed I think people are underselling the 2026 offense. I don't think it's going to be as bad as people think it is.
  20. Hugh2
    Maybe the Sox plan on moving IKF back to catcher. 😁
  21. Hugh2
    Yup, all day long. The Sox could make me like this move a whole lot better if they add an upgrade to the infield. This move also puts them back over the 2nd luxury tax line threshold.
  22. Hugh2
    Fwar last several years has average 1.3 Fwar thats worth about $10 million in FA. if its a bench bat/glove its a cheap deal. If hes a starter it’s disappointing
  23. Hugh2
    I like this move, as long as this isn’t the main move to fix the infield. typing those words, I’m immediately reminded of how convinced I was when the Sox re-acquired JBJ that he would be their defensive 4th outfielder and another move was coming. It did not. Sox are saying they’re not done here, if Breslow wants to avoid the Bloom comparisons he will make good on those words
  24. Hugh2
    Fair enough haha
  25. Hugh2
    At this point in the offseason "other options" are pretty thin. No free agents left, teams are fairly settled, and the Sox are certainly not going to add more payroll. If they are swinging a trade, their #1 priority should be to fix the infield.
