    Correct, he was a ninth round pick (which means the tigers passed on him in rd 8). Lot of that is luck

    well said, lost in this year is how much broke right for us
  3. drewski6
    They wont, they never sell. They'll wait until its fruitless to buy, make a very weak attempt at buying and then blame the long odds for another fizzle year.

    I agree with enough of these mediocre band-aids. I agree with you that the biggest problem with Red Sox over last 4 years is pure complacency. Everyone happy to have a team of 2-3 WARs but you need superstars to win. A solid player is an upgradeable position. Like you, I want to be greedy. That being said, your targets (Kurtz and Raleigh) may be too greedy. Not saying we shouldnt make offers/kick-tires but you cant send a package that is impossible to say no to. That doesnt exist. I literally think that for Cal Raleigh, they say no to every package. Roman Anthony + Wilyer Abreu + our top 3 prospects = no. Kurtz , I honestly think youd have to throw in Roman Anthony and then some.

    Skubal was drafted in 2018 and had .4 ERA in 2018. Moving up to AA for 2019, he had a .168 batting average against and rocketed up everyones prospect chart. They didnt develop anything. Skubal was going to be an all-star regardless of who was telling him stuff he didnt need to hear. The most important thing in a baseball player making/breaking is his talent level. You can have the best developers in the world, and you arent turning Bello into Skubal.

    Im expecting them to trade 2 of the big 3 prospects next. Its just knee-jerk reaction followed by knee-jerk reaction in the opposite direction

    Im not sure he knows this, as he seemed quite confident that our win total will be higher via addition by subtraction. Unless you think hes lying or spinning, to which i say : what else is new w these guys
  8. drewski6
    yup, build your team through your bats first
  9. drewski6
    Kind of a lot to gamble

    Fortunately (or unfortunately) things keep happening that leap frog upgrading Story in order of fires that need to be put out first. As of right now, its not super high on my personal list.

    I didnt ignore anything that you said. I wanted to let you know because we had been conversing, that some of your arguments, specifically the ones from a relevance standpoint (the pitching is going to make/break us anyways) and from a historical standpoint (we havent gone very far with Devers as a focal point) werent hitting with me I do think that you have a good argument when you say that Im overboard to consider Devers a carrier of the lineup when Bregman has been just as good + theres been complimentary production (Toro, Abreu, Nav) + can expect improvements from rooks and platoons.

    But I maintain, there is no package within a football field of reasonable that Seattle entertains for Cal Raleigh. Thats nuts
  13. drewski6
    Yeah, my hunch was Cal was a top 5 asset in baseball, which is why I through it out there to the forum if they could name 5 better values, and it turns out BTV has Cal 5th, and I disagree with 2 in front of him. I dont think he's this good, though. As in #2 value in the league only behind Bobby Witt. But I may be biased towards a few guys who I like because I like playing as them in MLB the show (xbox)
  14. drewski6
    I did mean which Chris Young. The pitcher, I like his fight (against Derek Lee)
  15. drewski6
    I agree, and Devers is a blockhead. He said so himself, when he confessed that he can be stubborn. My issue is that I cant separate the setback from the context. We were told to wait , wait, wait and finally it looked like we were ready to compete, and poof step back. Im not there that he had to be traded or that it made us better or that he was a bad contract. But he was a blockhead, and does deserve some irk.
  16. drewski6
    yikes, what happened to matt mclain.
  17. drewski6
    I like where your head is at. If we didnt trade Devers to free up money but it was because attitude, we should be willing to take on a player back who is good but maybe slightly overpaid and a sweetner to make it BTV neurtal because we shouldnt have to take negative value contract just cuz we can. Theres a few players on Cincy I would love to have. But Im not sure that team is willing to move em (and not talking about Elly)

    not trying to pile on, max

    Wally: I like the renovations to the condo inside the monster but why did you not paint over the manny piss stain? Realtor: Thats , um, popcorn butter to fit the retro movie theater theme.

    What about Jeremy Renner in character as Clint Barton? He was in the town.
  21. drewski6
    Which one?
  22. drewski6
    And was a righty
  23. drewski6
    Not trying to be confrontational, but honestly - pointing to lack of recent team success as evidence that Devers falls deaf on my ears. Too many variables in the recent era of disappointment. By that logic, the Celtics would have been justified trading Pierce.
  24. drewski6
    As long as we are not paying a premium because hes played 1b.
  25. drewski6
    is "popcorn butter" code for "Manny piss"
