    Groome is signed.
  2. 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.
  3. Hugh2
    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.
  4. 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.
  5. Hugh2
    Espinoza
  6. Hugh2
    No word yet on who we gave up for him.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  11. 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.
  14. 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.
  16. Hugh2
    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.
  17. Hugh2
    He reportedly had that deal, I'm skeptical based on what they gave their #1 pick because the math doesn't work out. You have to offer your picks at least 40% of slot otherwise you risk losing the pick if they refuse to sign. Also it wasn't completley 100% unrealistic that he would drop that far, once you drop a certain amount teams might not have the draft pool to sign you if your price tag is too high and team that has multiple picks can afford you later on. Example: Daz Cameron was a consensus top 10 pick last year but fell all the way down to the 37th pick. Yet....he had the 4th highest bonus in the entire draft.
  18. Hugh2
    Every once in a while it seems like a team gets two little for an asset or they grossly overpay. So the example is always there to support crazy trade proposals (semi crazy at least). But more often than not, as in almost always a trade has to hurt a little for both sides. Both teams need to feel like they won the trade for it to work.
  19. Hugh2
    Perhaps redundant is a bit excessive, but between Shaw and Hanley it's really not an area of need. I'd trade him in a package for a good pitcher any day.
  20. Hugh2
    No way they'd trade Devers for Hill, no team would, that's a huge overpay. Travis & TBall is more realistic, I'd give up Ball in heartbeat but Travis would be a little bit harder but he might be redundant in this system and he's more of a higher floor guy anyways.
  21. Hugh2
    ‏@alexspeier Source: Red Sox deal w/1st-rounder Jason Groome 'getting closer,' 'should get done,' though final bonus figure still being discussed.
  22. Hugh2
    No, but I wouldn't call it an "extreme overpay" either. Your points on Dice-K however seem more fair.
  23. Hugh2
    The overpay for Dice-K supposedly had a lot to do with developing a market and building a reputation, although that doesn't seem to have paid any dividends but what did Lugo get??? 3 years 26 million for a guy who was average to better for an offensive SS with above average defense? While not the deal of the century that wasn't exactly a gross overpay either.
  24. Hugh2
    To revisit this proposal. Julio Teheran is ranked #45 on fangraphs trad value rankings. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2016-trade-value-41-to-50/ Meanwhile Andrew Benintendi is ranked 38th http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2016-trade-value-31-to-40/ Not sure were Anderson Espinoza would rank, but Julio Urias is ranked ahead of him as well at 36th and the consensus is building among scouts that Anderson Espinoza has a higher ceiling. I would concede his value might be a touch lower due to the fact that he's further away. But Benintendi + Espinoza for Teheran + an aging declinging sub .700 opsing outfielder the Sox don't need seems a bit ridiculous to me. Most around baseball feel Teheran is having a good year but does not have the stuff to be better than a mid rotation starter.
  25. Hugh2
    It will be very exciting to see a system that has Groome, Espinoza, and Kopech in it. I understand the Sox have a poor track records with pitchers in recent years but to be fair it's been over a decade since they had a trio that talented.
