    Good summary.
  2. Old Red
    Well they signed Harper, and Schwaber the last few years, but didn’t seem to be going anywhere.castellanos too.
  3. Old Red
    It’s just a theory of mine, and nothing else. Either way it was a ridiculous offer, and I don’t think it warranted a counter off, which some have suggested on here.
  4. Old Red
    He was given the assignment of trading Mookie. Do you think John Henry told Bloom to just offer Bogey a one yr contract ext for $30M? John Henry admitted they bungled the John Lester negotiating, so I think this was all on Bloom. Now I’m not saying JH gave Bloom a blank checkbook, but I think the offer was Bloom’s bungling.
  5. Old Red
    Even at 13 innings he’s looked better than some in the bullpen. We’ll take what we can get at this point.
  6. Old Red
    Yes looks good so far, and these are the lower level moves that Bloom can hit on, but it’s the big moves that worry me.
  7. Old Red
    I already gave Bloom an A for Whitlock, and Pivetta was a good steal too, and if the Seaman turns out it will be even better.
  8. Old Red
    Yes they can sign a FA DH, but will it replace JD’s bat? Evol is an innings eater if nothing else. I have said before that Story will never replace Bogey on, or off the field. I think the jury is still out on Story’s value, and some days Story Land is open, and some days Story Land is closed. He did have quite a May, but we’ll just have to see how he ends up. It would be pretty near impossible to replace Raffy’s value, and if you could at what cost. Dugy certainly is nowhere near Mookie’s value.

    What to heck does getting Pivetta for two rag arms got to do with replacing mega talent like Bogey, Raffy, Mookie, and JD’s bat?? I heard this from someone else yesterday, and it’s not even a close comparison.
  10. Old Red
    That’s not what I’m saying. Plain, and simple if the Red Sox lose Betts, Bogey, JD, Evol, and Raffy I have NO CONFIDENCE that Bloom can replace these players with anything close to equal value, and the Red Sox will be worse off than they were before. That’s all.
  11. Old Red
    I’m talking talent, and production that you would have gotten if Betts would have stayed, and talent, and production you would Get from Bogey, JD, and Raffy if they stayed, and what you would get from their replacements.
  12. Old Red
    I can’t see Bloom having Thanksgiving dinner with someone like Theo did with Schilling to get him to come to Boston.
  13. Old Red
    Hey I thought Theo did a good job, and also did a good job with the Cubs.
  14. Old Red
    I remember years ago on the old CBS message boards there was a big debate, and poll if Theo was Boy Wonder, or Boy Blunder.
  15. Old Red
    How about Lugo?
  16. Old Red
    Theo had a hard time with SS.
  17. Old Red
    I do too, but his contract gets bigger everyday.
  18. Old Red
    Because I don’t believe nerds, and clones (not my words) running the Red Sox are a good thing.
  19. Old Red
    I’ll give him an A for that.
  20. Old Red
    Judge to the Red Sox, and Raffy to the Yankees? Quite a blockbuster!
  21. Old Red
    Now if Bloom gets someone on a list like this I’ll say he did a good job, and the farm produced a good crop.
  22. Old Red
    You think the fans would put up with losing Mookie, Bogey, and Raffy in a few short years? Tampa doesn’t have much of a fan base, so it’s no big deal to them. Attendance is already down in Boston, and I believe would go down even more if that were to happen, and the same for NESN ratings. John Henry would not like that.
  23. Old Red
    We’ve already gone over this many times over, and I have said many times how far I would go for Bogey.
  24. Old Red
    My opinion on the farm is well known. Woo Sox uniform, and Red Sox uniform are two different things. What counts in Worcester doesn’t count in Boston. Prospects are on the farm, and players are in Boston, so when Cases puts on that Red Sox uniform then it matters what he does until then doesn’t matter to me, so at this point we don’t know how good Bloom has done. Good for the farm doesn’t mean it will translate to good for the Red Sox. Now who drafted Mookie, Bogey, and Raffy just to name a few did a great job.
  25. Old Red
    I agree we fans don’t know what else we could have gotten for Betts, but the point being we did not get back equal value, and what are the chances we get back any kind of equal value for Bogey, JD, Evol, and Raffy if it comes to that. That’s a lot of value if not replaced close to equal then you end up worse off than you were before. I understand that getting something back is better than just letting them walk out the door, but to me it all shouldn’t have all come to this.
