He also sucked at SS.
-
That’s why the Braves were trying him in the OF.
-
For a guy who couldn’t hit his weight.
-
Tek in?
-
What about the report that said Grissom was 68 out of 74 in 2B with 350 innings played on some D stat?
-
Pooh, poohing a HOF? Wow!
-
Especially if he had a chance to trade Sale, and his full salary, and didn’t do it.
-
Grissom wasn’t in their plans anyway. Maybe, maybe, maybe, and if, if, if.
-
I was talking more about D, but good stat.
-
I think to many took Tom saying full throttle as going out, and signing any combination of Yam Man, Snell, or Monty. It’s always speculative on here the Red Sox are going to spend up to the CBT. I know they got up there at the end of 2022, but probably more accidental than anything, and definitely not productive.
-
Saying the Red Sox paid in my opinion to much money to the Braves shouldn’t have ignited anything in the first place, but on here it did. It didn’t anywhere else.
-
Since the Braves extended him already they must have wanted him pretty bad, so maybe the $17M could have been negotiated down. I would have felt better if it was the other way around, and the Red Sox paid only $10M.
-
So you are thinking the $10M freed up could have been added to some other money toward a FA signing? $17M more money would have helped even more, which some doesn’t think it would.
-
We’ve beaten this subject to death, and no one is changing their opinion. I said in the beginning I liked the trade, but I just didn’t like having to pay the Braves $17M. Yes I can like one part of the trade, and not like another, which I was told I couldn’t do. I’m not discounting at all that the Red Sox picked up a young RHB with potential. 2B was a need, but not as big as starting pitching.
-
It’s a win, win for the Braves. It’s a minor risk for $10M, and IF Sale stays healthy the Braves get a decent pitcher added to a good ball club, and gave up someone who was not in their plans. Grissom has potential, and is not a stud prospect like 1 said yesterday. He’ll hopefully turn out to be good, but he’s not a Bill Maz, or Robbie Alomar at this point.
-
$17M on its own might not get you much, but why just stick on the $17M? That $17M could have been added to some other money to get something better. $27M could have even been added to other money to even get something better. Yes the Red Sox needed an improvement at 2B, but not as much as they need starting pitching, so to just frame the $17M isn’t an accurate picture, but to say the $17M the Red Sox are paying the Braves doesn’t count, or matter with what sounds like a strict budget that Bres is working under all adds up, and takes away from what can be spent.
-
I don’t think it’s appeasing anyone.
-
Wow! Name calling! I bet JH would disagree with you on the money.
-
Still thinking that the $17M they will be paying Sale to pitch for Atlanta this year couldn’t be put to good use for this year?🙈🤭🙈.
-
Heyman says complicated deal of around $30M guaranteed that could go up to $80M.
-
Yes, but how many fans on here, and everywhere bought in to the full throttle statement like the Red Sox were going to go out, and land the Yam Man, or a Snell, and or Monty? I never did, and I’m still waiting for some trades that might not happen either' and then I’ll be with you, but not quite yet.
-
There were 10+ people who declined to interview for Bloom’s job. That’s not an assumption, but a fact, and not a good look no matter how you want to slice it, and dice it. You made more sense when you were in hibernation.
-
I’m guessing Breslow’s name wasn’t at the top of the big board in the Red Sox War Room when they were starting the process of who they wanted for the HOBO job, but had to cross off so many names who wouldn’t even interview. That’s pretty sad in itself, and definitely didn’t line up with Sam’s way of thinking that Boston is the place that everyone would want to be.
-
And the funny part is it bothers the rest on HERE.🙈 Next they’ll tell us a team’s WL record doesn’t matter either.
-
If it takes a so called trained eye to notice something, and a fan doesn’t have that so called trained eye it probably doesn’t matter to them anyway that only a trained would notice something that they didn’t. How many fans who go to a ballpark do you think all see the same thing, or care about the same thing?
