yeah, trade all the s***** motherf***ers on this team that aren't producing - Casas, Story, Yoshida, hell...everybody but Devers, Houk, Crawford and Duran. And maybe O'Neill.
and to get those guys, you'd have to do what DD was always accused of but never really did -"destroy the farm". i guess we'll see how smart Brez really is the next 10 days.
i'd rather buy a FA this winter than deal part of the future. of those listed, i could part with Mayer. but that's it, unless it was a lesser prospect.
yeah, i agree. after the top 20 or so, the difference in skill level and the ability to determine such diminishes and equals out at the same time, with exceptions of course.
i damn sure don't. i don't know if they drafted well or not but i am glad they only drafted a couple of HS kids. IDGAF what any board or expert says, i just think -with a few very obvious exceptions- that it is insane to pick HS kids over college kids, unless its the later rounds of the draft where, like notin mentioned, there probably isn't that much separation. high school kids have only proved that they are good against other high school players.
i'm a little confused with everyone saying the Sox are taking the BPA. with the 50th pick, they took the 87th best player. with the 86th pick of the draft, they took the 193rd best player. and so on. so....clearly they aren't taking "the best player available" or the BPA is like everything else: just someone's opinion. or i'm confused. wouldn't be the first time.
speaking of not making a serious effort at a reasonable extension....i wonder why Lowball Johnny hasn't made one to AC yet? because he's Lowball JOhnny and doesn't respect the talents of guys like Mookie, Lester, Bogey and Cora?
