    Iggy was never regarded as highly as Espinoza is now, and how has Iggy performed the last couple years? We also had Drew who was good in 2013 and Xander Bogaerts MLB ready and an All star now. We traded the best pitching prospect we had since Clemens for a guy on a career high, who has never pitched more than 150 innings in a season. We have 2.5 seasons of a guy who has never pitched more than 150 innings for a guy who has a better chance than anyone in the minors to be a true ace. I get it, this is the price to pay if you're "going for it" but it's a steep price and I would have rather not paid it.

    I mean, to be fair DD has a good reputation in the trade market but it's not a perfect record. The knock on Espinoza has been his size, and that has had some concerned about his ability to go 200 innings at the MLB level. But others have said that his delivery is so smooth and controlled that they see him easily being able to handle those rigors despite his size. I hate comps, but for those reason many compared Espinoza to Pedro Martinez.

    I'm thinking it may not be 100% coincidental that Groome is signed at about the same time the trade away Espinoza.
  4. Hugh2
    I'm saying you wouldn't trade one of the top prospects in all of baseball for him
  5. Hugh2
    This is a win now trade, this is a classic give up way more future potential for the chance to win now. I hate it, I don't care if it give us a better chance to win this year.

    Brock Holt was an all star.

    I really really really like Kopech and am impressed with his velocity but without a 3rd pitch I don't think he has the same ceiling as Espinoza who generates high 90's with very smooth and easy mechanics.

    Pomeranz has pitched 102 innings this year......thats a career high for him at 27. We just traded arguably the best pitching prospect in the minors for him.

    I'm disgusted with this trade. Where is my pitch fork
  10. Hugh2
    Groome is signed.
  11. Hugh2
    He's also the youngest player in A ball by a lot and thrown more innings than he ever has. He's tired, his performance has nothing to do with his potential.

    Espinoza was my #1 untouchable, even above Moncada. I would rather of thrown Moncada+ in with Espinoza and got a true TOTRS than trade one of them for a mid rotation starter.
  13. Hugh2
    I'm shocked, I figured they'd trade Devers and Kopech but Espinoza is the best pitching prospect I can ever remember the Sox having. Pomeranz is good but he's not elite guy.
  14. Hugh2
    Espinoza
  15. Hugh2
    No word yet on who we gave up for him.
  16. Hugh2
    I wonder who headlined the deal? My guess is it's someone in the Devers, Kopech, Sam Travis range. I'm hoping it's not Devers.
  17. Hugh2
    Sox get Drew Pomeranz. A guy I was interested the past few weeks as a better option than dealing with Atlanta. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/07/padres-trade-drew-pomeranz-red-sox.html

    If I'm right on my prediction and Groome signs for a lot less than what people are speculating in the 3.7-3.8 range then I hope they are able to sign Quintana as well. It's easy to assume they will spend all the money they can but then again everyone thought they were going to make a run at Boldt or Sheffield in 2013 but neither signed and they left almost a million on the table.

    After a horrible start Devers was .313/.352/.386 in June and has been on fire in July .376/.453/.750 Lets not forget that he's 19 and in high A, and by all accounts he's been fine at 3B. While a move isn't out of the question one day the consensus seems to be he's convinced scouts he has the athleticism for 3B.
  20. Hugh2
    He's the only person to have Benintendi ahead of Moncada, also he's much higher on Devers than anyone else. Devers has been hitting really really well lately.

    I'm not 100% sure on this but from my understanding radar guns are very reliable and accurate. Sometimes stadium guns are manipulated in the minors to add a tick or two. There was no stadium gun, and it was registered on multiple guns.

    Evan Drellich ‏@EvanDrellich 19m19 minutes ago Source: Red Sox No. 12 overall pick Jason Groome is in Boston to take his physical. Deal close but not finalized.
  23. Hugh2
    I literally just came in here to post this. Now I know some guns have been known to be off, but never by more than 5 MPH and it was confirmed that 105 was registered on multiple guns. They are now saying last night Kopech threw one of the fastest pitches ever recorded.

    Alex Speier ‏@alexspeier 39m39 minutes ago As reported elsewhere (first by @KendallRogersD1), Red Sox close to finalizing deal w/5th rd RHP Mike Shawaryn. Alex Speier ‏@alexspeier 37m37 minutes ago Sources still expect a deal between the Red Sox and 1st round LHP Jason Groome, though at this point no final deal in place.

    Kendall Rogers ‏@KendallRogersD1 11h11 hours ago .@TerpsBaseball RHP Mike Shawaryn, a fifth-round pick to the @RedSox, has signed. Solid 206 season, ++ competitiveness #MLBDraft #Terps That leaves only Dalbec and Groome, with little more than 24 hours left we should expect an announcement soon.
