Yes, David Haugh.

Padres won a World Series?

I don't blame the Sox for their draft approach the last 5 years during the rebuild. They were trying to rebuild for a competitor come 2020-2024. That's the reason for drafting College players. Now that the bulk of the ML positions are filled, they can move towards this long term approach.

I'll take Quintana's track record 100 times over Musgrove "turning the corner last year."

You're very weak if this "burns the heart." The Sox were never rumored for Musgrove. Don't have the prospects to make a trade like this. There are similar level pitchers in Free Agency right now.

Who cares

Name their 7-8 starting pitchers? They go 1-5 and then have dig into their farm like everyone else.

Again, this is the case for all teams contending. No team is going 7-8 deep for starting pitchers.

This would apply to all the teams contending.

Not sure how he would have the scoop on any of those unless he ran into them in Punta Cana.

I rather have the guy who can hit both LH and RH pitchers, at an offensive MVP level.

He's a platoon player.

If you can't differentiate the qualify of hitter Cruz is vs Encarnacion, then maybe you need to stop watching baseball.

None of the above are "LH Mashers."

This. Who the fuck cares what side you hit from as long as you hit well.

Who? Who is this "lefty masher" available you want them to get?

This leads me to Quintana.

What would we have done with this Tweet full of nothing from Cishek

He's gonna cost at least $10 million. You don't make a move like this for the Jeff Blauser factor or because he's a good clubhouse guy. He better hit.

Ozuna

Except in this case there is no sign Cruz is on the downtrend. I'd love Cruz in the middle of this lineup for one season.

Quintana is the guy to go get. Outside of his freak injury last year, the guy is still dependable for 180 innings and strikes out close to 1 per inning.

Here we go again with people wanting to trade away the farm.

The Sox have limited bullets to spend. Need to be sure those bullets are used on guys who are 100% ready to contribute. A 30 pitch showcase by Klubber is a very risky proposition.
