Look at Ray Ray Run

This is just batshit. Pitching prospects are great and all, and it's been cool to see Giolito pan out, but pitchers are so risky. Lynn is a proven horse and veteran who will give you 1+ years of damn good outings. Even when Lynn wasn't dominant he was a very nice MLB starter.

Jack you're overthinking this man. Lynn has been absolutely dominant for like 18 months. Dylan Bundy has had 38 nice innings.

I worry about moving Vaughn as well. He's really the only young guy I worry about moving. All the pitchers may be something but they're pitchers. Vaughn could be Miguel Cabrera.

WTF

Now Robert and his shitty .898 is the disappointing jerk on this team!

He pitched well when he had to - he wasn't lucky in those spots - but I agree that he should be done here tonight. No way should he see the top of the order again.

Coop just needs to go out there and scream at him every inning it seems.

At the time, I thought the Sox had traded Int Money from next period. When I realized that wasn't the case, I quickly realized they basically just bought Dyson for free to be a late inning guy. Summary: I read more, learned more, and realized exactly why they made the move. I forgot playoff rosters are even a little bigger too; which means you can literally carry him and Engel despite them serving a similar role.

Yeah, I love outfield defense and speed so Dyson always been a me guy. Dyson has been worth 13.6 fWAR in 2679 AB's; good for a fWAR/600 over 3. He's been an above average MLB player in his career despite having a career wRC+ of 78. That's.... remarkable.

No one. If you're not hitting a 10-25% catch probability, you're not getting a hit, and I'd guess even a lot of the 10-25% balls would be caught by that group. You can shade engel and Dyson towards the corners and shallow because Robert is so damn explosive going back and into the gaps. Take away the entire outfield.

He's also still a very good defender; although his defense won't play up as much in LF because his arm is a noodle.

It's not.

Yeah, Gore has more raw speed than Dyson but he's not quite as good of a baserunner or base stealer as Dyson.

Jarrod Dyson was the original Terrance Gore; no idea how Sox fans don't remember this. It just turned out that Dyson ended up being a great defender too so he got starting spots as a below average bat.

Read the poor lead scout who signed Gregory Polanco today in the Athletic state that he feels bad because he thinks the Pirates ruined Polanco and destroyed his elite game.

Almost think that would hurt his value if it was, because his value is his ability to get you second base so it's a good thing that's not a post season rule. If he's already there, there's plenty of guys who can go 2nd to home on a good jump. His ability is to get 2nd base for you no matter what. Will never forget the Royals calling up Jarrod to just be a pinch runner and it ended up getting them a huge run.

Yeah, I thought that much because I knew for a fact you cannot trade pool money for the next two classes. I just found it odd it was traded from this years class, when I assumed this years class was already completed.

To put into perspective how good of a baserunner Dyson is; since he entered the league, he is the 4th most valuable baserunner in baseball. Impressive... but even more absurd is that he's the 4th most valuable but he has HALF as many PA's as the guy in 1st and 3rd. He has 600 fewer PA's than Billy Hamilton who ranks second. On a rate basis, Dyson is the 3rd best base runner in baseball in the last 60 years. He's one of the only base runners you'd ever trade for.

Has to be it.

One of the best base runners in mlb history. Thats not an exaggeration. Hes a guy that goes and gets you a run late in a playoff game.

this has nothing to do with next signing period.

You 100% cannot trade dollars for next period or the one following. They had to have traded dollars from the current period that I thought was already over.

You cant trade those dollars which is why none of this makes sense.

I don't think we can. The period already ended. No idea what is happening here.
