Like I have said many times prospects, are suspects, and useless until they show up in Boston in a Red Sox uniform, and produce, or a traded for someone like Sale, or CK who does.What are Winckowski, Bello, or Sebold’s Red Sox stats?
My first priority in a plan would be to lock up Bogey, and Raffy, and then go from there. If that doesn’t happen then I don’t really care at this point.
Wouldn’t you want to know what the rest of the team is going to look like next year, before you offered Evol anything? And once again do you trust Bloom to build a team for next year, and beyond?
I don’t have an answer for why the Sox can’t grow a starter on the farm? Well I guess you have to start for bad drafts. Ball, and Groome are two I can think of. Houck is a work in progress, but it’s a fact the Red Sox have had trouble in that area. You could even go back to Bard, and Barnes who were drafted as starters.
Moon, no one knows what the 2023 will even remotely look like, so no I would not offer him $20M/1 for 2023. Do you know what the team will look like next year, and do you trust Bloom to put it together?
Wrong assumptions. I would not pay any pitcher $300M +, and I wasn’t basing Cole on 1 postseason appearance, but only to point out the Yankees have not won anything with Cole, and his many millions.
I’ll pass on them all, and Even ERod who I said I would have resigned at the time. Starting pitchers to me aren’t worth what they used to be, and if you can’t grow some on the farm, which the Red Sox are having trouble doing then it gets real expensive to go out, and get one, and then you have to be lucky to get a good one. I keep repeating that Evol is a career 62-66 record in other words a losing pitcher for his career that I don’t think is worth $20+M for any length of time.
Give me a list. It’s not what I think is worth it, but what Bloom thinks, and he sees like what Hill, and Wacha are doing for little money, and short time, and I just can’t see him going big on a 33 yr old pitcher with a career 62-66 record.
Just to much of a big bill to me, and I think Bloom too. I like Evol, but the fact that he hasn’t been offered an extension yet like Bogey, and Raffy for what they were I think tells something.
But what does Bloom see with the Red Sox? His bargain basement starters like Hill, and Wacha are doing the job, and the high priced Sale is not. I don’t believe Evol will get a big extension with the Sox. The Yankees haven’t won anything with Cole, and won’t, because of him.
Quite a bit of money, and length for a pitcher with a career 62-66 WL record, and a career 4.15 ERA. Not to mention has only won in double figures(14, 11) twice.
