    A guy isn't available just because you want him, some teams are just not putting certain players on the market. It's the dude who keeps asking the same girl out on facebook messenger for years......no means no dude, the Royals aren't interested.

    Romy has no options, Seigler does…it’s probably not him

    I saw that, and I don’t like it. Durbin is very good with the glove at 3B and Meade is better at 2nd than he is at 3B. they didn’t say when Durbin said that. Was the team specifically targeting a third baseman? Or did they cast a wide net and target infielder looking for the best bat/deal combo? If it’s the later Durbins comments might just be him being the opposite of Raffy Devers
  4. Hugh2
    Apparently Durbin was quoted saying he would be happy to move to 2B if the Sox acquired a 3B. would is not Will and was said before this specific trade. So maybe they put Mead at 2nd? I think they will

    Mixed emotions of this one because I was a fan of Early, but it seems like a fair trade. We traded from a position of strength to fill in a big hole. And the guy came with team control. I like the trade much better if he moves to 2B. He’s played there before and the scouting on him is that is a more natural position. I earlier advocated a SS with the thought in my mind they may play 2B, because what we really needed was another bat in the infield. This was my #1 need and it looks like the Sox agree. we kind of have to pick up another starter now, but Bennett and Tolle were clearly better than Early and healthy. good trade. more please.

    Who is the odd man out?
  7. Hugh2
    They will could (they should) move him to 2B. His defense is much better than and Durbin has been great at 3b
  8. Hugh2
    Even after getting red hot Sox bats went from worse to average. The pitching carries the team, if they want a deep playoff run they HAVE to add offense.

    Well start the duck boats and hand them 10 year contracts. I'm sorry, as Drew would say I'm being "condensending" but I think you know those guys are not long term starters. Guys like that pop up all the time, and they either never last or their skills seriously decline when they're asked to move from the utility role to the full season starter role. You need to raise the bar on this team. If Monasterio does it for you great....I'm trying to end our monopoly on last place.
  10. Hugh2
    Add, I don't think that sentence helps your argument at all. None of those guys are striking fear into anyone. EXcept maybe Arias in the Eastern league
  11. Hugh2
    So, Trevor Story and IKF are people you'd seriously rely on right? that feels par for the course with how horrible this team has been the last few years. A team looking to compete and get better should do much better than that. I like Arias, but when are we going to stop relying on young players so much. Rememeber the big THREE????? Cambell/Mayer/Anthony it's a full two years later and between underperformance and injury those guys have given us basically nothing. YOu need a SS, Story/Mayer/whoever can battle it out for the other up the middle position. If Arias hits his way onto the team GOOD, it's a good problem to have. If your other guy is Story/Mayer they're probably hurt and there is no log jam anyways.
  12. Hugh2
    I'm sorry, after Mayer and Story who is a MLB starting SS? IKF? Andruw Monasterio? Cheng? Which one of those guys are you referring to as a MLB quality every day player here in Boston for 2026 and beyond?
  13. Hugh2
    They don't have 4. They have two and a couple bench/utility guys. Your two are both injured and one you might ever be able to rely on again. You NEED 1 SS/2B guy.
  14. Hugh2
    I meant we don't need a shorts stop for the future, because we have Arias. That doesn't mean we don't need another one this year. Someone can move to 3B/2B after that.
  15. Hugh2
    Four Short Stops in house? Story injured - has had one decent year in the past 1/2 decade Mayer - Injured, and always injured. We don't have a timeline for either of those guys. Are the two bench bats the other two shorts stops you're refering too? Having a body doesn't mean a hole is filled. I consider 2B and SS analogous because they can move and any trade will have 2027 in mind as well IMO.
  16. Hugh2
    I don't think it negates going all in on Neto (or another SS) at all, if they're going after someone LIKE Neto it's a move not just for this year but going forward as well and up the middle has a lot of question marks. If they make a big move, SS is a leading candidate to make that upgrade, perhaps LF/DH/C is right there too.
  17. Hugh2
    At this stage of his career? His last three years he put up a 5.5, 7.7, and a 6.3 FWar.
  18. Hugh2
    Neto is certainly not my first choice.
  19. Hugh2
    He was promoted yesterday
  20. Hugh2
    4 years my bad, that’s still a lot. And if he’s opting out it’s because he was well worth it
  21. Hugh2
    I love how no one wants to give up the players they'd have to give up to get the players they want. Henry Godbout, Kyson Witherspoon and Sadbiel Dezline have equal surplus value to Anthony Eyanson but they do not make up from excluding him from a package for a premium player and they never will.
  22. Hugh2
    He could be and I would not hate that one bit at all. If he's mashing in AAA I don't know how you keep him down. Durbin/Arias/Lindor/Contreras in the infield.......I could get behind that.
  23. Hugh2
    No I get that, and when you do decide to buy people have to realize the perfect guy is not out there. There's only so many players for sale and everyone else wants them too. If you get stuck in the "well he's ok but he's left handed" "well he's ok but he should really be at this position" "well he's ok but I wish he was a few years younger" you will be stuck as the only guy at the dance without a dance partner.
  24. Hugh2
    We don't need a SS, we could use a 2B though. Arias or Mayer will be the short stop next year.
  25. Hugh2
    There's a difference between wanting to hoard all your respects vs. I don't want to completely deplet the system. I also see nothing wrong in wanting to not overpay or liking a specific prospect but overall I agree, prospects are there to help the big league club and part of that is trading them away.
