    heaven forbid we actually draft a few pitchers and then develop them. Much better to sign guys like Richards, Hill, Kluber etc.
  2. Randy Red Sox
    it is obvious the route Henry has directed Bloom to follow. Build the farm system, reduce the payroll by signing veteran guys to 1-2 yr deals.
  3. Randy Red Sox
    I don't know about that but I do that the Royal's 2 starters for games 1 and 2 have a combined record of 3-22. Shouldn't get much easier than that
  4. Randy Red Sox
    Wacha despite his injury history would have been a much better signing than Klubber. that is not even debatable
  5. Randy Red Sox
    i actually think that once the Sox are truly out of it they will go a run of victories to lower their draft position and Bloom will select another HS with our first rd pick
  6. Randy Red Sox
    you raise a very good point. I am pretty sure Henry will choose option 1 as Bloom has filled his mandate of lowering the payroll while remaining competitive.
  7. Randy Red Sox
    Wacha was still out there I believe
  8. Randy Red Sox
    This is exactly what I have been saying all along. There is VERY LITTLE pitching talent in our system.
  9. Randy Red Sox
    no matter how you spin it with your post none of these guys are going to get us the quality P help we so desperately ned.
  10. Randy Red Sox
    would not hesitate to move him for a bag of good used practice balls
  11. Randy Red Sox
    thanks for signing him Bloom
  12. Randy Red Sox
    I want young Pitchers who fit our the age range of the team Bloom is trying to build. Yamamoto fits. Castillo's best yrs are behind him.
  13. Randy Red Sox
    I am hoping we can get Yamamoto but agree there will be lots of teams after him. Will Henry actually open his wallet?? As for Nola I would not be going 5 years at big number which he is likely to get. The guy is 30 yrs old and a TJ candidate.
  14. Randy Red Sox
    right in the mushy middle. perfect spot for Bloom to select another HS SS with our 1st rd pick
  15. Randy Red Sox
    A number of points here. 1] i love Justin Verlander but the time to get him passed 3-4 years ago. 2} Mayer is UNTOUCHABLE. 3} Yorke is NOT a valuable trade chip. You can sign FA 2B's every offseason. Not saying he might not turn into a decent MLB player just saying that 2B are reasonably easy to acquire. 4} I don't see any impending FA SP that I would be in on. Blake Snell and Aaron Nola are probably the 2 best available but will want big $$ and likely long contracts and I stay WAY AWAY from that. 5} I just dont see teams trading away top young cost controlled SP tht the Sox need. A real pickle for your favourite GM.
  16. Randy Red Sox
    Owens was a total flop. Espinoza could have been a stud if not for TJ. Pedro was real high on him.. bottom line is no one’s is giving up a top pitching prospect without a HUGE return.
  17. Randy Red Sox
    Yorke and Duran are not getting a TOP young SP. Yorke is a dime a dozen on the market.
  18. Randy Red Sox
    Are you kidding me ?
  19. Randy Red Sox
    We would need to include another good prospect with Duran to get a quality SP. he’s not really that young anymore
  20. Randy Red Sox
    Neither of those. The first name in each group should be pretty much untouchable unless we are getting a young Pedro is return. Draft and develop our own like we are doing with Bello. 4 yrs of Chaim and we don’t have a single guy like that in the system
  21. Randy Red Sox
    I am pretty sure that all teams have had similar type schedules throughout the season. They just got off a cushy schedule a while back and now they face the mighty KC Royals for 3 after a day off. Not buying this excuse.
  22. Randy Red Sox
    That was my actually. None of Bloom’s prospects are MLB ready. He must be pumped though going through the waiver wire to see what he can add for Pennie’s on the dollar.
  23. Randy Red Sox
    I think I posted correctly here didn't I?? Maybe Bloom could find a way to qualify for a playoff berth in an expanded format more than once every 4 years??
  24. Randy Red Sox
    Are you telling me that is not going to happen?? Turner and Duvall will both likely want more than a 1 yr deal. Bloom may decide simply to replace them with one of his prospects or he may bring in a veteran on another 1 yr deal. That has been his modus oper endi
  25. Randy Red Sox
    2024 will be status quo. Duvall and Turner will be gone replaced by a couple more to be named veterans on 1 yr deals while we wait for Bloom's prized prospects to arrive and save us.
