    Hard to stress how much I'd rather watch Tim Elko at 1st base over vaughn. I don't care that he'd almost certainly K at 45%.

    I now agree.

    Maybe the swing adjustments are working?

    or, it could just be 2 at bats.

    Is there a position player worth taking at 5? 

    I think the Sox have pretty good depth in the pitching dept, they really need help at the position player level. 

    yes.

    Guess Trade Values of Sox Starters

    I’ve asked this question in a few other threads but thought it deserved it’s own. What are your guesses on the trade value of Sox starting pitchers as we approach the trade deadline? Of course this assumes good health, which is a big assumption for any pitcher these days, but for the sake of discussion let’s assume that. Here are my guesses:

    Crochet - one 55 FV prospect + two 45/50 FV prospects

    Crochet’s trade value might be the biggest mystery of all as I could easily see him returning a Cease type package given his young age, incredible stuff, and cheap team control thru 2026. There are obvious risks though, primarily his health, but if he maintains his current dominant form and stays healthy the sky is the limit. I can see a team like the Dodgers being very interested in Crochet this July.

    Fedde - one 45/50 FV prospect + a flier prospect

    So far, Fedde’s new and improved repertoire has translated from KBO to MLB. It’s still very early but if he maintains a mid 3’s ERA into July I think a 2023 Lorenzen type return for him is reasonable. I can see a team like the Orioles being interested because I think their rotation will need outside reinforcements this summer but they’re too stingy to pursue high end pitching and unload any of their top prospects.

    Soroka - a couple flier prospects

    He isn’t the pitcher he once was due to injury but he has value as a 5th starter and/or long relief arm especially for the cost (both in dollars and prospect value for acquiring team)

    Flexen / Clevinger - no trade value (if lucky, traded for cash considerations)

    What are your thoughts?

    Crochet - one 50FV and one 45FV. That would be like an Ramos and Wolcow type deal (seems high still). I think you are wayyy over on him right now.  Your Crochet deal is practically what we just got for Cease.

    The rest are nothing burgers or fliers (right now)

     

    Welp, Time for the thread about 2024-2025 FA’s we won’t sign…

    With the Sox fans desire for the season already at mathematical elimination,  let us start the offseason thread and ponder the FA’s we will “try to sign”, by making this a place free agents “want to play” (in anyway that they can try that isn’t the one thing the free agent is looking for….money).

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/04/2024-25-mlb-free-agents.html
     

    And after a quick perusal….it turns out…there is no hope.  Better luck next…er…in 5 years.

    Prediction: the $100 million contract will once again be avoided by the Sox.

    At this rate (all other clubs than the A’s) will cross $150 million contracts before the Sox think about $100 million).

     

    Yikes.. That's a real bad position player group
