    An absolute no brainer if you ask me. kid dominated the minors. They aren’t losing a year of control. You have a month left in the season and you’re 3.5 games out of first place. you gotta roll with your best 13 pitchers. Tolle is where he belongs

    How many rookies have played their first mlb game this year? 7?

    also cake is good.....I want cake.
  7. Hugh2
    Well I'd say it's quite the opposite of cake, because you're going to have your Klubers and your Buehlers, but whatever it's one year. A market like Boston SHOULD be able to stomach those bad one year deals to get the good ones. My problem with the Kluber signing wasn't the move itself, it was the fact that was ALL THEY DID. This year, CB2 didn't just go out and sign Buehler, he also traded for Crochett, AND extended him. To me that makes all the difference in the world.

    I mean to me this is just a semantics battle. Corey Kluber is a fine example, because yeah......it could have been much worse. I'm all for the low low risk one year deal. Even if 50% of them are Corey Klubers you get the upside on the other guys, offer the QO, and get the draft pick and keep the pipeline pumping.
  9. Hugh2
    That's essentially my take. If I end up overpaying for one year.....whatever. At Chapmans age, if he signs a 3 year deal he could be an all star closer again next year and completely fall off a cliff. I think theres more risk with a multi year deal than a 1 year. A lot of it depends on what the Sox want to do. If they don't have any plans to reset the LT, then it's a no brainer to me. The other day people were making a strong argument against giving Giolito the Q.O. but even I found any validity in their arguments I still offer it for the same reason "no such thing as a bad 1 year deal" We've seen time and time again how the pitching market surprises. Almost no one would have guessed Pivetta would get and reject a Q.O. last year and yet here we are.
  10. Hugh2
    considering his age and the fact that he could return negative to little return in a multi year deal if he falls off a cliff, I would have zero problem paying more for a 1 year deal. I would offer a multi year contract, but I would have no problem with the QO.
  11. Hugh2
    After tonight, Giolito should get 5 more starts and if he averages 4 1/3 an inning per start he will trigger the mutual option. its highly, highly likely he opts out. I think the question we should be asking now is if we should QO him. If so we have two QOs this offseason, Giolito and Chapman
  12. Hugh2
    Well, let me rephrase. I'm sure the Red Sox fans in here all feel very good about beating the Yankees.
  13. Hugh2
    One thing everyone can agree on, is it feels really really really good to beat the Stankees
  14. Hugh2
    Another thing I've tried to start doing this year is agree with people I have often disagreed with. And what I have found is that.....sometimes I actually agree with them alot. Try it sometime, try to agree with someone you've argued with a lot here. Find something you agree with them on and talk about it. It will make you feel better I promise.

    The problem with putting posters on ignore, is that anytime you start reading this forum without being logged in you see what that person says anyways. Also, you still see what they write when other quote them. The last year, I've tried to just literally ignore all the dumb crap, that's not to say If I don't ever respond to people I think your point is dumb. You step away from this forum for a day or two, or even just a few hours and stuff gets buried. I don't always got time to go back and get caught up. Also, most of the conversation in here is often the same thing being said over and over and over again. And over. and over. and over again.
  16. Hugh2
    Well, then look at his body of work prior. Regardless. His best stat this season is his w-l. None of his stats are elite or overly impressive. 3 BB/9 7.2 SO/9 8.2 H/9 and a 4.21 whip suggests he’s been helped by good defense and playing in Milwaukee. im not trying to poo poo Preister, but it’s not like he’s been this godly pitcher this year. It’s unlikely he receives any CY-Young votes, unlike someone like….Nick Pivetta
  17. Hugh2
    The fact of the matter is you have to trade one of Rafaela/Duran/Abreu this offseason. you have to make room for Anthony out there. its not like you’re not going to get a haul for some of those guys. And be well off with Anthony in there everyday
  18. Hugh2
    May looked stellar in his last outing, wonder if the Sox are able to unlock something here. I wouldn’t hate extending him if they have.
  19. Hugh2
    Toro served his purpose and did his job, but his tenure has last way too long. originally against acquiring a 1b I had changed my tune, due to Toros continued struggles but also Mayer going down. Very surprised in hindsight the Sox didn’t get a 1B rental. Password may be the answer. I think his stats could take a big dive at the MLB level and he is going to struggle against against MLB pitching, but he’s got some pop and I think he’s going attack mistake pitches and get his shots in. I suspect he might struggle against righties which is not what you wanna see with a guy with platoon concerns. still, he may be a better option than Toro.
  20. Hugh2
    You have no idea Preister would be this good with the Sox. The only evidence we have up to this point was the fact that he wasn’t.
  21. Hugh2
    I’ll take my victory laps on Giolito and Story now. I knew if healthy and kind right those two would produce, and they have.
  22. Hugh2
    I understand that, but by all accounts he will be fine to pitch in 2027. Why wouldn’t you want to see what he can do? If he’s down performance was due to an injury this year and he’s anything close to what he was last year that’s lot of value. there’s almost zero risk and all upside in keeping him for 2027
  23. Hugh2
    Permanently? He’s 27, has 4 more years of team control left and 2 option years. He’s absolutely fine as a depth option. Permanently seems a bit extreme
  24. Hugh2
    They have two years of team control left with Tanner

    lol, I’d have better luck shopping my pocket lint on eBay.
