    So Houston trades 3 players to get back a player they traded to us??
  2. Larry Cook
    This is an incredible triple a staff right here! Best I can remember for Boston in a long time!! I applaud bres-slow on this
  3. Larry Cook
    I think it was reported that we signed 20 international free agents today! Let’s hope for a gem or two from this class!!!!
  4. Larry Cook
    The dodgers have tried to trade for abreau all offseason!! I applaud bres-slow for not trading any of our outfielders. with the Suarez signing, someone from our 40 man roster has to leave!! Goodbye Jovani??
  5. Larry Cook
    Let’s look at the crochet trade for all 3 gm’s 1.) desperate Dave could not have made the crochet trade because his farm system was a barren waste land!!! 2.) hang’em Chaim would not have made that trade because he overvalues prospects and has something against high end pitching!!! 3.) only bres-slow had the guts to risk such quality and quantity on a pitcher. I believe that because bres-slow was a former pitcher, he saw something in crochet that told him this guy was special!!

    Crochet, Suarez and bello are all signed through at least 2029! gray is signed through 2026. Maybe he is replaced in 2027 by houck? Or maybe early! oviedo signed through 2027. Maybe he replaced by whoever is left over from houck or early. Or maybe Tolle or Harrison! either way, our rotation is very deep and very talented! game 1 - crochet game 2 - Suarez Game 3 - gray i really like our chances in the post season
  7. Larry Cook
    I just heard from wfan that Crawford’s wrist injury is really serious and he probably starts the year on the DL!
  8. Larry Cook
    Someone recommended Duran and Tolle for Marte and an Arizona top 15 prospect !!! I cannot see it. What do you think???
  9. Larry Cook
    Who are your bottom 5 on the 40 man roster?
  10. Larry Cook
    40 man roster now stands at 41! goodbye Jovani?? or a trade?? The dodgers really like abreau and have tons of prospects
  11. Larry Cook
    Realistically, how much demand could there be for bello??
  12. Larry Cook
    This is a much better use of our money than a position player! slide him in behind crochet and now our rotation is much stronger!!
  13. Larry Cook
    The dodgers pick a lane! Build a superior scouting and minor league developmental juggernaut
  14. Larry Cook
    The dodgers win because they have the best scouting and league development system in baseball!!! the money allows them to retain the players they want, sign players they want in order to fill development holes! I truly felt hang’em Chaim was building that for us! But his strategy and vision were narrow. He over drafted middle infielders and he totally ignored pitchers, unless they went through waivers first!! bres-slow is even harder to figure out. He never truly picks a lane! Is he a total salary dump guy? No. Is he a development guy? No! why does bres-slow trade dobbins and fitts for gray (1 year of control) and Contreras (2 years of control)! Short term strategy and a waste of assets!! Bres-slow appears to be playing whack a mole (being reactionary) when he should be demonstrating and sticking with a long term strategy and vision designed to deliver consistent annual results!!!
  15. Larry Cook
    Arenado traded to Arizona! is something brewing on the dessert!
  16. Larry Cook
    Catcher is still a woefully thin position group for us! the dodgers really want abreau from us! They have dalton and tons of pitching
  17. Larry Cook
    Yes! Filling the Grand Canyon size hole at the number 2 spot in the rotation should be our first priority!! the sox were willing to go up to 165 million for Bregman, we have budget for gallen or framber! If bres-slow deems them good enough for the number 2 spot in the rotation! in addition: Moving Sandoval (provider he is healthy) to the bullpen solves our need yo acquire another lefty reliever!! Keeping Harrison in the bullpen also eliminates the need for us to keep Jovani on the 40 man!
  18. Larry Cook
    What do we do if narveaz is not ready for the start of the regular season? His surgery is such that he is not allowed to participate in the wbc! Do we have another catcher on the 40 man beside wong? (Who also has wrist surgery this offseason!)
  19. Larry Cook
    If we assume the Phillies sign bichete, does that open an opportunity for us to trade with desperate Dave?? I would be willing to take painter and brohm off his hands!!!
  20. Larry Cook
    Agreed. The biggest problem is the Grand Canyon sized hole at the number 2 spot in our rotation! and we should consider signing another lefty reliever. Although Harrison could be a lefty swing man
  21. Larry Cook
    I think that Cora uses at least 125 different lineups in 2026 and at the end of the year everybody contributes, but Anthony, Mayer and Duran carry this team to the playoffs!! And story, Contreras, yoshida, abreau and Wong have decent supporting numbers
  22. Larry Cook
    Wow! And still crochet beat fried last year in the playoffs
  23. Larry Cook
    I think the war you provide is how teams do against the whole league. And that is great for figuring who gets into the playoffs. but the playoffs are about individual matchups! Boston vs New York for example. I know Boston struggles against left handed pitching! If fried is pitching against any Boston pitcher (other than crochet). We lose that game, Rodon probably sucks against most teams, but he is left handed so he is probably going to have a solid to good game against us! I do expect shitlister to have regression against us once we see him again. And definitely come playoff time. If I am new York. I start Cole in game 1. Then let the lefties win the series in game 2 and 3!
  24. Larry Cook
    I have proof that crochet can beat fried in game 1! but can gray and bello beat cole and shitlister (or rodon)in game 2 and 3?? I seriously doubt it!
  25. Larry Cook
    We really do not have much control over what the enemy does! But if we had a true number 2 starter, I would feel very good about our World Series chances
