i would agree with all of this post
-
I give up. Can't have discussions with people who already have their minds made up. BTW the list you gave is hardly stellar. You are already counting Bernadino as a great find?
-
I will give you Sale but Beckett was a long time ago too. Why can't people see how Tampa and LA are doing it. Tampa hs thrived by drafting and developing their own top young cost controlled P and then after getting several years out of them they deal them for more young P. It has worked pretty well for them for quite a while now. As for the LAD how is it that they can have made the post season for 11 straight years and still have one of the very best farm systems in MLB?? Their GM Friedman was the real mastermind in Tampa IMO.
-
I am not obsessed with tearing it down but simply stating it is over-rated in my opinion.
-
yet being able to draft Jordan seemed to be the selling point for drafting Yorke about 100 spots above where he was ranked.
-
then why can't the Sox trade for any top SP. Curt Schilling was the last real top SP they were able to trade for. Teams don't trade those guys very often.
-
we have 4 last place finishes in the last 10 years so I am not sure how much of a winning strategy it has been.
-
with all due respect i have already said Mayer and Rafaela are top prospects. Some of the P like Walter and Murphy are nothing but BP arms IMO. I have already stated my views on Yorke and Jordan. Where do they REALLY fit for us going forward?? How many of these guys you have mentioned are top 100 prospects?? Listen I am not saying that Bloom has not improved the overall depth of our farm system because he has. But this team needs more top cost controlled young SP prospects like we have in Bello. The Red Sox have NEVER put a focus on this for MANY years even before Bloom. You can always add hitters and OF guys in FA but top pitching is so hard to acquire other than in the draft. Pitchers available in FA at 28-30 yrs old are simply TJ guys in waiting.
-
We have no REAL pitching prospects close to MLB ready and not even any real TOP pitching prospects at any level as far as I can see. That is not to say there are not P that can toss MLB innings but no real high end P prospects. Once Mayer takes over SS then I assume Story moves to 2B.. Where does that leave Yorke?? Devers signed long term. Where does that leave Jordan?? In my view they don't bring much real trade value either. Bloom needs to add young COST CONTROLLED TOP P prospects.
-
[bloom needs to add a young cost controlled SP like Sheehan from the LAD. Never mind rentals. QUOTE=moonslav59;1548815]Like Stroman, Giolito or ____?
-
just NO NO NO to Stroman. NO NO NO
-
I typed MAYER but my stupid spellcheck said Mayo and I didn't catch it before clicking
-
i saw an article on MLB about a prospect from each team that could be traded. For the LAD it was a RHP named Sheehan. Wonder what it would take to pry him from the Dodgers?
-
so?? he's terrible
-
personally I think our farm system is over-rated at least those at the older level. other than Mayo who likely will be the SS by 2025 and maybe Raffeala i don't see that much close to MLB ready.
-
and where do you see Yorke fitting in with the Sox when/if he gets to Boston?
-
yeah and almost all of them are DD guys
-
why?? we just lost 2 of 3 to the mighty A's.
-
one that Blooms seems to like doing. I expect more of the sam this deadline
-
and you know that how ? {mclain}

A Realistic View of 2023: Part II
Randy Red Sox replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
What low cost SP are available from teams out of contention is the question. -
ONE top prospect list has Yorke ranked around #96 and the others don't have him as a top 100 prospect. That is hardly glowing in my view given where he was drafted. Mayer was the #1 ranked guy in last yr's draft so you can hardly say that Bloom out did himself taking him at #4. This Anthony I am not all that familiar with but unless I'm mistaken he's not a top 100 prospect either.
-
exactly
-
Yeah Bloom has been a genius
-
These guys were all brought in by DD
