  1. Totally agree. I feel like we underappreciated Rosario here at TD overall, but quite simply his cost is quickly surpassing his production while Larnach will likely have a VERY NICE cost/production ratio come 2021!
  2. Yikes....I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.... Nice idea though and great article!
  3. Beat me to it..... Barring some chronic injury that we are not aware of, I feel like Romero just has waaaaay to much talent to go away this quickly.... That being said, players with waaaaay too much talent have gone away quickly many, many, many times before....
  4. I think the trade is a referendum on Graterol's change up. I believe the FO was not confident in the long term development of the third pitch and hense his ability to start. If they believe the in his ability to develop the third pitch, no way is he traded
  5. I think May further develops as an elite bullpen arm while there is regression for all the others (or not even pitching like Hill). We'll end up missing May the most if we don't keep him.
  6. He is my #1...premium player who looks to stick at a premium position. Absolutely think Kirilloff is the real deal too but SP is just sooooo important. I remain very concerned about Lewis
  7. High floor and I can't even see the ceiling.... This is what happens when hard work and intelligence meet innate talent... Good on him!
  8. I'm signing back in at 11:16 PM tonight SQUIRREL just to read what promises to be a brilliant post
  9. Kudos to the to FO from a previous critic My issues previously had been that they would not sign a high price free agent nor take risks by trading high level prospects for current MLB talent. They have now done both. Maybe it works, and maybe it doesn't.... but I very much applaud them for taking calculated risk to get better!
  10. As I predicted.....another throw in of a prospect outside of our top 20 to get it done. I did miss the additional wrinkle of the Dodgers separating the deals to allow the Sox to save face and the Twins to add a piece without looking like they were capitulating to the Sox demand.
  11. All posturing..... The Twins (or Dodgers) will end up adding a throw away prospect outside of our/their top 20 to get it done while giving the Red Sox the appearance of saving face (when in reality they will have gotten nothing more of value). No question that it is absolute amateur hour going on in the Red Sox organization and that this could have a negative impact on their future dealings.
  12. Great post. I would highlight that bullpen depth in AAA could become essential when/if the rotation strings together too many outings of 5 inning pitched or less....which is a a definite concern with the rotation as currently constructed (eh, cough...Odo and two rookies... eh cough).
  13. I think that this is more a referendum on his change up than a 'win now' philosophy. If his change up was MLB ready, there is no question in my mind that he would begin the season as a starter and then perhaps transition to the bullpen when Pineda and/or Hill were ready (to conserve innings at that point). The coaches clearly don't think the change up is MLB ready. Therefore providing value in the bullpen as one of the organizations 13 best pitchers is the way to go! Hopefully our pitching whisperers will work their magic during practice throughout the season... because it is pitch development and not innings progression that will ultimately determine his fate.
  14. Kudos to the FO! (from someone who was hyper critical of their FA performance previously) They still need to pull a rabbit out of the hat to solidify our SP rotation which will now realistically need to be developed by our elite internal coaching. Could happen, but either way, that line up is going to be CRAZY fun to watch. Fingers Crossed
  15. I'm worried that Odorizzi is going to have a major regression.... very worried. And we just don't have any buffer worked into our 2 pitcher + prospects plan for our starting rotation breaking out of camp. I just seems like a big risk right now. But, even if the SP rotation implodes, boy o boy o boy that line up will be FUN to watch every-single-night
  16. Nice Post....Could not agree more with the optics of haggling over $375,000 with the player you hope to be the face of the team for years to come. Even if this is posturing in the greater picture of extension negotiations, it is still crazy. Just @#$%-ing crazy!
  17. Disagree. Gibby's colitis will be just fine on immunosuppression. And he is more talented than Bailey..and 10mil per year is pretty cheap for potentially a #3 SP
  18. We needed more than "maybe, just maybe" for starting pitching his off season and did not get it. You can spin me in circles and the truth remains the same
  19. This....uh...This.....and what a minute....THIS!!!!!!
  20. Except any one of them would have been the 4th pitcher or worse on the WS teams last year
  21. The Nationals had elite starting pitching which we do not....so that is comparing apples and woopie cushions
  22. Good deal for both sides....happy team, happy player...hopefully happy fans at the end of the year
  23. Yes....because they know a little secret.....that 40 year olds with a history of torn tendons in their throwing elbow who recently had a fairly new surgical procedure....are not so much a risk as an inevitable disaster. Good on him to squeeze an extra 3 mil out of his career though!
  24. Yaaaaaaawwwwwwwwnnnnnn.....(sigh).....(slow head shake)..... sign off.....
