    They could load up on prospects and make moves at the deadline. Looking ahead, I'd want target pitchers with more than .5 years of control. Get a guy to help you down the stretch this year and next.

    They also started working KC out at 1B before Bregman went down. Between that and Story laying an egg I don't think any can definitively say the plan hasn't either changed or other options are being explored.
  3. Hugh2
    So what. You going to roll with Mayer/Story/Hamilton up the middle all year? I'd rather let Campbell work thru it at 2nd and get Anthony into the lineup somehow. The youth can either get the team going, or get experience to be better suited to get going next year. But at this point you're wasting free time from Anthony in AAA.

    Rafaela's value is mostly tied into his defense. I think you have to keep him in CF. There's only a few ways the Sox could really fit Anthony in. If Devers would move to 1B it would open up the lineup to bring up Anthony and rotate him with Abreu/Duran in the outfield and at DH. A trade. They would have to trade Duran, Abreu, or Rafaela. It's not trading seasons right now, so it might be hard to move a player at this moment. Lastly, the Sox could just move Anthony to 1B. Which is overall a horrible ideal, but it might be their best option for 2025. They might have to sit him down and tell him he is in their long term plans for the OF but for 2025 or at least the next few months they want him to learn some 1B to break him into the majors quicker. I wonder how well Mayer/Campbell/Anthony play off of each other once they're all in the majors at the same time.

    Eventually he will be CF/RF. Sometime between now and the start of 2026. rafaela or Abreu will be out. Either by trade or reduced role
  6. Hugh2
    75% k rate. Can you say bust?

    Of course it has range, that’s why it’s called the “range rover”
  8. Hugh2
    Mayer has a 1.000% fielding percentage in the majors. He’s obviously the greatest 3B of all time. Maybe we should move him to SS can’t argue against that
  9. Hugh2
    Unfortunately there’s no much to be done this time of year. It’s like being mad you can’t go to the store to pick up milk. They open at 6 and it’s 4 am. teams that will stop at the deadline aren’t selling yet. This is why teams typically go with in house solutions. Like Toro or Devers….or you know Toro.

    Hopefully the kid goes 5/5 and plays stellar defense. he doesn’t hit as well against lefties, it’s one of his few knocks. Not a finished product but he’s ready. Obviously I want to see him play well, but I’ll get a chuckle if he makes an error and people lose their minds. Let’s remember it’s his first big league start. i never would have guessed Anthony would have been the last one up of the big three but here we are.
  11. Hugh2
    I don’t think all your posts are lame. I just disagree with that one you made
  12. Hugh2
    If it was a fake injury the players association would be up in arms over the Sox FO. at this point.
  13. Hugh2
    You take the best player available. Everytime all the time. you can always trade for pitching e.g. Crochet/Sale
  14. Hugh2
    Come on man. 1. it’s a mock draft, not the Sox board. 2. By the time this guy reaches the majors the team needs could be completely different. You have no idea what the roster could look like in 4 years. 3. Said player could be traded. Just like Montgomery was traded for Crochet. It’s why you go BPA.

    On People stating that others don’t know the nature of things. I learned a long time ago that no one goes online and argues with the “I used to do this I know what I’m doing you’ve obviously not” it makes someone, anyone who would hypothetically do this sound arrogant, and it comes off as being very condescending. And to say such things that go against the fabric of what we hear from everyone else on planet earth who has played at the top level is just hysterically ironic. I think anyone who makes a habit of insulting everyone who disagrees with their minority opinion as never achieving anything in a condescending way is teetering on the edge of being a troll. those are the facts….and the facts are indisputable

    No team on earth has great back ups. Back ups are back ups for a reason. Every team in the universe has an AAA roster that either has a top prospect OR a guy who isn’t good enough to be an MLB starter. Toro/Sogard isn’t bad roster construction. And nobody would be talking about that if Story, Cambell, or Rafaela were hitting.
  17. Hugh2
    lol, not really. Bregman WAS looking like an MVP candidate and Mayer/Campbell were waiting in the waiting in the wings. i would challenge people to say how they’d have better constructed the roster. now if you’d be willing to critique your stance to “bad roster management” I’d be inclined to agree.
  18. Hugh2
    Our infield is literally. AAAA guy, a guy who has fallen off a cliff, AAA guy and an AAAA guy. Devers at 1B and calling up Mayer would solve a whole lot.
  19. Hugh2
    When you go to woo tell us what you see.
  20. Hugh2
    Back in April I put the over/under on an Anthony promotion at may 28th....I think. Anthony strikes me as the type of guy who is going to catch on quick.
  21. Hugh2
    At this time of year no one is selling yet, he had one and he went down for injury. Most G.M.s in this position would ask their Raffy Devers equivalent to move. As I said earlier I'm not going to berate him, people are who they are and he certainly makes up with it with the bat. Buts' it's disappointing, I think If Devers truly understood the nature of things and wanted him and his team mates to win he'd give 1B a shot. But I just don't think Devers is very interested, he's kind of just a let me get up go to work and I'll do my job leave me alone kind of guy.
  22. Hugh2
    Does Cora really not want Raffy at 1B? If Devers was open and willing to move to 1B would Alex Cora be against that? I don't think he would have a problem with it. Also the whole "brez do his job" well he did his job, Sox had a young player regarded with a lot of potential in Casas but he got hurt. Most teams in Brez's position would either call next man up (Toro), trade for a guy, or move someone on the roster to 1B. Can he really trade for a guy? we seem to go through this EVERY YEAR, not me and you just the fanbase in general, but we always want trades to happen in May and they just almost never do. Most teams are still trying to figure out if they're buyers or sellers and will likely wait until July to do so. I'm not really sure what more Brez could do other than grossly overpay for someone, and even then who knows what is out there.
  23. Hugh2
    No he's not, I'm sure if the Sox could predict the future they would have traded him and moved Devers to 1B. He might of put up the same stink but I think he'd do it and make the adjustment and settle in like he did at DH.
  24. Hugh2
    Yeah but that's just the thing, they have him under control until his age 30 season, or thru his age 29. As good as he is, is he going to age into his 30's? I just don't see any real value in extending, the Sox already have him for another 4.5 years. Sometimes I think you just take the team control. I'd rather roll the dice on guys like Campbell.
  25. Hugh2
    Well Casas is (or at least was) their long term plan at 1B. He went down this year. No MLB team has a good player in AAA ready to take over, unless that guy is a prospect working his way up. THey have Toros' like us. Usually teams have a guy veteran who is willing to slide into 1B.
