    It appears the Yankees top SS prospects - Peraza and Volpe - are more likely to stick at SS than the Twins top SS prospects, so a non-superstar stop-gap might very well be what they need/want.

    "one year of Gray in a non-competitive situation and another where they *might* contend does very little for me." I acknowledged that it's two years.

    Hence why I said one year of non-competitive (2022) and another (2023) where they might be able to depending on the development of the in-house arms.

    I dislike this move as much as I liked yesterday's. Sonny Gray, a likely 3 (or 2 if you squint really hard), is a guy a contender picks up to get them over the hump. I don't think this team is built to win this year and next year depends mostly on how the in-house going starters develop. A young, potential high impact arm for one year of Gray in a non-competitive situation and another where they *might* contend does very little for me. Now, if they go get an actual #1 and a few bullpen arms so they can actually content this year, then I can be convinced to not hate this move.

    I'm also on team "Kepler Doesn't Belong on This List." Not a superstar, but provides positive value and top-notch defense. I'll agree with most other names people have thrown out in the comments - Adam Johnson was the first name that came to mind with me. One I won't agree is JT Chargois. True, didn't pan out for the Twins, although he didn't get a huge opportunity, but he was pretty good with the Dodgers in 2018 and was outstanding last year with Seattle and Tampa.

    The dozen games he misses? That's a good one.

    So who wants to tell me I was right all along first? We can start a line if it makes it easier for everyone. I was mocked when I questioned the offseason. I was laughed at when I said the Sox were the clear division favorites. I was questioned when I said to bet the under on the 88.5 wins Vegas predicted. People thought me crazy when I said this team had 2011 written all over it. I'll wait ...

    Explain this versatility to me. He can't actually play ANY position at a big league level. Occupying space in the vicinity of a position is not being versatile.
  9. jud6312
    It's a joke that Rooker isn't on this team but Astudillo is. Might as well just give TC Bear a glove and call it a day.
  10. jud6312
    13 deep? Really?
  11. jud6312
    Honestly, I'm more concerned about Buxton and his inability to stay on the field than I am with Max.
  12. jud6312
    Here's the real question though: Does Shoemaker make a handful of starts and then go on the IL? OR He starts the season on the IL - probably lingering shoulder issues from last fall - and debuts in July so it's "just like trading for an impact arm"? So many choices.
  13. jud6312
    If he stays healthy you very well could be wrong. However, his history shows that isn't at all likely.
  14. jud6312
    Hopefully he doesn't tear something signing the contract.

    And any and everyone is free to root root root for their favorite characters and feel-good stories. I'm not stopping them. But in the last 30 years there's a whole lot of fun characters and/or great stories. What hasn't there been? A World Series. Personally, I'll take the latter 100% of the time.
  16. jud6312
    The problem is that Rocco can't be trusted to not use him - Tortuga is to him what Punto was to Gardy. (Except Punto was useful in the field.) I joked about it last year until he sent him up to PH in the playoffs. It was then that I realized my jokes had manifested themselves into reality.
  17. jud6312
    OK, so you're making statements that you have no interest in backing up. Got it.
  18. jud6312
    I don't even like him as a meme.
  19. jud6312
    Having the ability to occupy space in the vicinity of a baseball position and defensive versatility are NOT the same thing.
  20. jud6312
    Oh, do tell which 4 players from both '87 and '91 he is better than.
  21. jud6312
    And Vegas has the Sox at anywhere from +105 to -135 and the Twins ranging between +155 and +210. I'm taking Vegas over Fangraphs every time. Hopefully it changes before Opening Day.
  22. jud6312
    They're definitely making moves and changes that will hopefully lead to something, but until they do something that actually gets this team over the playoff hump, it's the same thing in a shinier package. Is it better to get swept every year playing "new school" or get swept every year playing "old school"? Or is it basically the same thing?
  23. jud6312
    They have more pitching (both in the rotation and bullpen) and the offenses are basically a wash ... assuming Cruz doesn't regress at all, Donaldson and Buxton stay healthy, and that last year was the anomaly for the guys that took a step back from 2019. Yeah, they'll have some hiccups adjusting to LaRussa, but look how quickly they closed the gap from '19 to '20. Too many people on this site LOVE to write off what other teams accomplish while greatly overstating what this team accomplishes.
  24. jud6312
    My bad. I forgot it's wrong to question any move this front office makes.
  25. jud6312
    With 7 BBs per 9, I'd take Jim Hoey 2.0 to start. He can work his way up to New Wisler.
