Where did it originate that Bloom has any baseball smarts at all? I think it’s obvious by now that Bloom got the credit for the work of all the other nerds in Tampa. Did Bloom look so smart at the trade deadline last year? Did Bloom look smart staying over the dreaded tax line last year, and ending up in last place?
-
Only if Bloom will get blamed apparently.
-
You are the #1 worrier in Red Sox Nation if Bloom is going to be blamed for something. At least you are good at one thing.
-
Wrong once again! I don’t even know what those two are, and nor do I NEED to, or want to. Go back to worrying if Bloom will be blamed if Song turns out to be a good ML pitcher.
-
Only because he’s a Navy guy yes! Otherwise than that I could give a rat’s ass who’s on the tail end of the 40 man roster, or who’s the 26th man for that matter.
-
Wow! Worrying about Bloom getting blamed for something. How cute!
-
Like I said before Song is a fellow Navy Man. That’s all I got.
-
Point being that suspects on any list are a dime a dozen top ten, or not. I’m not much for minor league rankings.
-
I never said Song wasn’t a suspect, but I’ll go with him.
-
A top ten suspect! Wow, and a dime a dozen.
-
Wow! You are just taking this for granted that Song won’t work out just the way it is, and he’ll just stick with no trade, or anything else involved.
-
I Don’t think DD is worrying about getting $100K back like I said a win if it works out, and No BIG deal if it doesn’t.
-
Either way DD has nothing to lose by taking the gamble on Song. If it works a great move by him, and if it doesn’t no big loss.
-
The Red Sox stole Whitlock from the Yankees, and my prediction is that when all is said, and done the final outcome will be that the Phillies, and DD stole one from the Red Sox, and Bloom.
-
When Song was drafted back in 2019 the Red Sox knew it could, and would be a long time, before he would get the chance to appear in a Red Sox uniform. The Red Sox waited this long so they should have just finished the job.
-
I agree totally. Ort is just one of these guys who hangs around the minor leagues, and that’s all he is, and will ever be, so Song definitely over Ort, and it’s not even close to me.
-
Agree, and we’ll find out who is right. DD, or Bloom.
-
Bottom line is the Red Sox knew it was going to be a long journey to get Song on the mound in a Red Sox uniform, and when it got near the end they got rid of him. Baseball sense? I don’t think so, and I hope Song turns out to be a good pitcher elsewhere.
-
Bello hasn’t established anything yet, and neither has Casas, but call them what ever you want. No, no, and no on your last question, but they haven’t established anything in the ML either. Hype does not help in the standings, but if, and when it does it will be great.
-
T-Ball was correct, but to say I think all prospects are suspects is incorrect. I think Casas, and Bello are prospects, and like I said I’m hoping they both live up to the hype. I just don’t get giddy like some do every time someone comes back in a trade like the Beni, Renfroe, or Vaz trades like the Red Sox have struck gold, or something.Not much has panned out yet.
-
I wouldn’t do that to a fellow Navy man.
-
The only thing I have tried to stress over, and over is that not all playing in the minor leagues are prospects, and even then not all prospects turn out, and produce in the ML, and turn out to be nothing more than suspects. Like I have also stressed I don’t get excited until they produce in a Red Sox uniform, or are traded for someone who does. That’s just me. Hopefully for right now Casas, and Bello live up to the hype. Lots is riding on that.
-
One word. SUSPECT!
-
I know I’m going out on a limb, but I’ll take that, and run with it.
-
If Casas, and Bello break out this year that will be exciting, but Whitlock, and Houck not so much. Losing breeds, and brings negativity. If you want it to stop like I keep saying get better, and win more games, and get into the postseason. If they don’t the negativity will not only continue, but get even worse.
