    Don't assume -- it's almost guaranteed that it any of those had . one. more. top quality impact pitcher
  2. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    No, Bloom will actually make $50K if he takes him back. I'm not sure how much the Sox have sunk into the three young pitchers selected in the Rule V, but the guess is it would be worth it to them to only make an additional $150K on the trio and welcome them all back into the system.
  3. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Ok, but this narrative just shifted from a Luis Castillo type blockbuster -- which would include trading several top prospects -- which Bloom has never made in Boston.

    A lot of tombstones of Sox fans from last century that never saw one championship...
  5. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but the drafting team has to pay the losers $100K, and then if they decide they don't want the guy, can offer him back to his original club for $50K? Peanuts to a guy like Dombro, but not to someone hired to pinch every penny...
  6. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    This is entirely the point. All those advanced college degrees in that office, and nobody knew what apparently Dombrowski did? And my point has always been it's reasonable to question losing any young pitchers for this franchise and its constantly stated goal of looking ahead. I'm happy and surprised someone decided to sign Devers, and intrigued to see which of Ward, Song or Politi winds up back in Boston's system. But if Braiser and Ort become the Beastie Boys and close out the World Series, I'll start an Extend Bloom thread.
  7. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Do you honestly think Bloom will still be around when the Sox are just one player from another title? Will even we be?
  8. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Guess we have some unreasonable fans on the forum. The rest of Red Sox Nation must just care about protecting replacement players who won't even last the year on the back end of the 40.
  9. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    I'm not sure what top-of-the-rotation ace the Sox can land for bullpen pieces, Aldo Ramirez and past-their-prime vets on expiring one-year contracts.
  10. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    You either work for the front office and have inside insight or haven't been paying attention to Chaim Bloom in the Chaim Bloom Era.
  11. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    As a fan of a last-place team with crappy pitching that espouses building for the future -- and then loses young pitching to other teams -- it's unreasonable to be concerned?
  12. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    If you're in the box, it's batter up, no excuses. What's the first thing you learn when you bat? Watch the pitcher... No ump's going to save you from wearing one in the ear.
  13. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Snap, crackle, pop... (those were not the sounds of pitches hitting catcher's mitts).
  14. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    If that's true, the Sox would be acquiring foundational starting pitching this year. If not, the shades may be drawn, but no sash is raised.
  15. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    I'm ok with umps setting the example in ST, but disagree with automatic called strikes if a batter is in the box but not looking at the pitcher. That's the hitter's problem, ready or not -- if he's in the box, he's fair game for the pitcher to pitch to. Come on, young people's brains are just wired differently growing up scrolling devices every day. Any Little League coach knows we can't even get kids to look at us for more than two seconds in practice, when we're actually trying to give tips on how to improve...
  16. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Soto would be great, but not the Red Sox without legitimate starting pitching the next two years. If I'm trading my top prospects, then I have to get top starters -- like Beckett for Hanley, or Sale for Moncada/Kopech. Then try to sign Soto when he's a free agent; you're going to have to, anyway, if you're willing to trade your future for him...
  17. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Of today's four pitchers in the Sunday game -- Wink, Murphy, Mata, Walter -- the latter looked the most impossible to hit. Kind of a live, dangerous version of Sale, Walter has the delivery of a death-to-lefties reliever.
  18. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    That's what... ahhhh
  19. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Can't really remember Felix... was he the cartoon cat who made all that money in animated porn?
  20. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Why would we trade all those pro spects, when we already have Juan Soto (according to Adam Jones).
  21. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Bobby DEEEEEEEEE: two blasts to Right, double and 2-run tater. He's hitting 2,000!
  22. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    One thing Song has going for him -- compared to most pitchers with long layoffs -- is that he's not coming off an injury or surgery. Being in the military might also mean he kept himself physically fit. Unless he hurt himself arm-wrestling at a pub or something, he's still young and strong... unlike old man Kluber, who just had his first full season since 2018. Kluber may have finally adjusted to Father Pitch-Clock -- or the Rays used up what he had left and said Thanks, seeya... similar to what we assume Bloom did with Wacha.
  23. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Sox are undefeated. Scored all their runs in the first to beat the Huskies, 5-3. Big hit was a bases-loaded double by Valdez, who drilled a liner to right-center with very quick hands. He also turned a DP on a feed by Kike. Alfaro had a nice oppo hit, Koss pulled a double, Rafaela stole a pizza, Hamilton played short most of the game.
  24. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    The biggest worry about Song is he makes it as a fulltime pitcher, then a few years from now the Navy needs him back behind the controls, but the closest he's been to a cockpit has been an aisle seat on a charter to a rival ballpark.

    Second night in a row on Report From The Fort that TC has called Whitlock the Sox' best reliever last season. 1) did he watch Schreiber or see his stats? 2) did he mean two years ago?
