    I actually haven't watched either of them this season. I think I'm too scarred by the last college 2B the Sox took early. They just don't seem like high impact players and I would prefer other options currently.

    Agreed.  Bazzana and Wetherholt are both limited players because they're below avg athletes.  They would be the same in a long line of recent college position players the Sox have drafted. Collins, Berger, Madrigal, Vaughn, Gonzalez.  All these guys are limited players because they're not good athletes.  They have to move away from drafting this type of player and draft plus athletes with tools and high ceilings.  One or even both of Wetherholt and Bazzana may end up being fine players but I don't want them to draft a fine player.  I want them to draft a high impact difference maker.

    It’s a solid B in my opinion. I’d much rather have this package than risk Cease pitching in the first half. 

    I think it's an A+ when you factor in what other the teams were offering.  The Padres offer blew away all the other offers.

    I like when people selectively listen to Reinsdorf based on whatever fits their narrative.

    He's an 88 year old fat guy. Your relief will arrive soon. 

    and the relief will be....his son!

    Funniest post I’ve maybe ever seen on here.  I hope its greatness doesn’t just get lost in a 45000 page thread.  

    My Hey hey post from yesterday was the funniest post in the history of this message board.

    No indication Arias, Hampton or Lombard are available

    I have no idea what Cashman is thinking.  He should easily be the most aggressive GM for Cease and he's still playing games.  Maybe Hal gave him a lifetime contract.

    I get the sense the Yankees interest was a leak to Bob to try and get the Rangers/Padres to budge.  It doesn’t sound like NY is interested.

    The Yankees made an offer but it didn't include any of their high impact players.  For some reason they think they can acquire Cease with a collection of their low tier guys.

    I'd take Leiter in a minute.  They tried to change the shape of his fastball and fucked him up.  Then they tried damage control and fucked him up even more. I'd let him to go back to how he was in college and let him throw the s%*# out of it again.

    The Rangers don't have multiple top 100 guys. Outside of Carter and Langford it's just Walcott. The package mentioned by Rosenthal is super underwhelming. 

    Would you do straight up for Langford?

    Speaking of the Rangers, I don't love that system outside of Carter/Langford/Walcott. And there's no chance Carter and Langford are on the table.

    I think the Sox match up much better with NY.

    It's not the Rangers.
