Nova has no chance of being part of a 2 hour game. Ain't going to happen.

Agreed! Trading McCann is not what we should be doing.

This sounds condescending. That isn't how you meant it was it?

ASG is a popularity contest. It has lost all attraction to me.

You are correct and your wish will be granted.

Contenders overpay for guys they view will put them into the playoff picture. Q was one of those times.

Jose is fine at a price. How much does he want to stay for 2 or 3 years vs what's he worth on the open market. Hahn will have the answers to those questions and make an appropriate decision. Hahn does fine in deals where he is the seller. Not quite as good as the buyer IMO. I'll live with his decision on this. Same with Colome but odds are a little higher on a trade I think.

What we need is a good baseball team.

Rick Hahn is really something.

This is why the time is now to trade Abreu & Colome if we're going to. Teams overpay when they view a player through the eyes of improving their playoff chances. Everyone is more rational in the off season.

They will have a good amount of company.

Always prefer to trade a year to early rather than a year to late.

I expect next season to be the Sox version of 2015 Cubs. The first winning season since start of the rebuild. Might be just a bit short of championship caliber but you can see the talent all around. Win total in low to mid 90's would be my today guess. Free agents and trades can of course help move the needle forward. Bring up Robert, Cease & Madrigal...find two decent starting pitchers...and lets roll.

Broke his belt.

Be nice if they could join him there.

Believe what you like...it's a free country.

Another win. Easy Peezy.?

Madrigal is untouchable. Moncada goes to RF.

Maybe we'll get to see him a lot in the future.

I have faith in RH in this regard. He is good at maximizing return when he has something to sell.

50-50...need to get something good or no point in trading him.

Well...that added some excitement to the game. The bad kind.

At 30 mill. per year they are entitled to look at everything.

Doesn't sound like that would be worth 30 mil. per.

Well...this was a bummer for Bummer.
