A's interested in Andrew Vaughn/Sox in Montas

This team is a contender because of the Sale, Eaton, Quintana trades -
A's interested in Andrew Vaughn/Sox in Montas
gogosox1959 replied to southsider2k5's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I don't know about the return but I've also been thinking about who could you trade that would get a good return. I eliminated AV-on potential; TA-obviously; and not breaking up the Cubans- (Abreu, Robert, Moncado, Grandal). That leaves Eloy. -
last 10 seasons: different starting 2nd basement every year (per Jay Cuda on Twitter): Harrison, Madrigal, Garcia, Sanchez, Moncada, Saladino, Lawrie, Johnson, Semien, Beckham

Right or wrong, one of TLR's beliefs is wrapping around the bottom of the order to get to top of line-up have potential of getting up with man on base. Recall he experimented with pitcher batting 8th so that he could get a real bat 9th

Moncada IL, Burger up; Burr IL, Foster up

GAMES PLAYED LAST 3 YEARS, % of possible games 162+60+162= 384: Abreu: 159/60/152 = 371 (96%) Moncada: 132/52/144 = 328 (85%) Anderson: 123/49/123 = 295 (76%) Grandal: 153-mke/46/93 = 295 (76%) Garcia: 140/16/126 = 282 (73%) --included Leury for "sh*ts and giggles" So I guess when we dump Moncada for not being reliable enough, Anderson also needs to go as he "showed up" less than Moncada each and every year. /s -
If O's want him, they may feel need to make a trade to circumvent another team getting him via trade and Micker never making the waiver wire.

Maybe 120 regular season + 20 in post-season. o:)

Kelly was signed knowing that he wasn't going to be ready for April. This is not a new injury.
-
I don't understand these posts which imply that signing Rodon for one year was an option. Rodon/Boros were clear that wasn't an option for them. (The issue about failing to get the draft pick is a separate issue) btw. When they signed Kelly, it was with the full knowledge that he wasn't going to be ready for April. All we've heard is that he's on schedule.

Rosenthal also reports it, (minor league contract)
-
Rodon was never going to sign for $18mm as he would have certainly rejected the QO. He was gone. He signed for $44mm over 2 years.

ST Cuts: Romy optioned to AAA along with Severino
gogosox1959 replied to bmags's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Mendick has been working out to be the emergency #3 catcher so he has added value. With Severino being optioned, Sousa looks like a lock as the other lefty in the pen. -

Kimbrell today with Dodgers: .1IP; 4H; 4R; 1K; 2HR

There's a 10 day deadline for accepting or rejecting qualifying offers after receiving offer. Even if lockout stopped the clock, that time has passed

2nd injury to same shoulder. Had surgery on it 2018. Might be a red flag.

Offseason Part 3 - Because Part 2 Was a Dud
gogosox1959 replied to CentralChamps21's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Second time hurting the same shoulder. Could be a red flag on him being a long term outfield choice. The Sox have plenty of offensive potential. The biggest need is a solid #4 starting pitcher -
Conforto has been hurt since January. Per Boros team talks with teams restarted last week. It was a strain. Article up on mlbtr.com. sorry for lack of details but getting on train

TV was Jack Brickhouse as WGN did both Sox and Cubs in 50's and into early 60's (?). Radio was Bob "hit like a bullet" Elston and the radio color was Milo Hamilton who was just starting out. Turning on a game in progress on the radio was brutal as they never told you the score .. maybe every 2 or 3 innings. On off days Hamilton would "announce" games from the tape with sound effects to make seem like a real life broadcast.

Recap of how the world sees the team. I would guess much higher than what seems to be soxtalk consensus: odds to win world series: 4th shortest at 11:1 or 12:1 (borgata, draftkings, usatoday) power rankings in MLB: 2*, 2*, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 7 (mlb.com is 2 as is bleacher report but they are both 2-3 weeks old; others are whatever current misc websites I could find-- current consensus is 4th projected wins: #4 in AL; #7 in MLB (fangraphs) bullpen: #2 in MLB (mlb.com) rotation: #4 in MLB (mlb.com) lineup: #3 in MLB (mlb.com) I'd go with 3rd in AL behind Tampa and Toronto and #5 in MLB also behind LAD, SF

Once there's robo-umps, then the defensive profile for a catcher changes from "framing" to "throwing"
