That Eaton trade is starting to seem pretty wise on RH's part.

McCann & Anderson deserve the honor but probably lose out to guys better known. I don't really see Abreu, Colome or Gio being overlooked.

IMO the decisions are coming soon (next couple weeks) weather or not to trade Abreu and Colome. If FO doesn't trade either guy they are going to bring up Robert & Cease and make an attempt to compete this year. Maybe just my wishful thinking but no point hanging on to them otherwise. Their trade value will never be higher.

Just the same situation as Moncada & Anderson. Takes a while to get comfy...then look out.

In some ways that's why I want them up sooner than later. No matter how you do it...there is an adjustment period for almost everyone. They come up...take their lumps and work it out. In theory they are working with the best coaches, trainers and facilities. IMO playing against the best help develop their talent faster.

These honors are really big deals. Not long now boys.

If Jay replaces anyone on the current roster... Sox fans have every right to question that move.

Big league club?

I believe there is a rule that only New York teams are entitled to over three selections.

Why yes...I believe it was me.

Optimist have more fun.

The draft is more than one round. There are calls with both agents and prospects going throughout those days. I would think it take all hand on deck.

I should have said...once teams get past tomorrows draft they will start refocusing on where they are going now. I presume all teams are in lets get all hands on deck for the next big thing.

Gio sure has me believing he's the real deal. Nice guy as well.

Once past the draft things will start shaking.

After the week we have had...FO is for sure bringing up Cease. Hope they have another idea or two for finding another starter. We are ready to come roaring out of rebuild mode.

That Cordell play was really big with the game on the line. Avi doesn't sniff that one.

Well said. Direct and to the point.

I agree!

I'd keep him before I trade him for Happ. Happ really is a dime a dozen type of player. No thanks.

Hope Gio sets it on cruise control today.

Moncada is playing a really good third base and 2nd is still being held down by Yolmer until the Madrigal arrival. We still have those saved million to spend on needs which will most likely be TOR starter and depth. For my money we dodged a bullet. Ten year contracts almost surely will bite you in the ass every time.

We all had HOPE that the team would show improvement while we wait on the reinforcements from Cease, Madrigal, Roberts, Kopech, Rodon, Dunning, etc.. Those improvements came in the improved play of Moncada, Anderson, Tilson, Gio, Abreu & Garcia and the additions of McCann, Jimenez and Colome. Others like Bummer & Marshall have also helped. Now I HOPE we catch lightening in a bottle and find a way to improve the starting pitching. Cease & Keuchel seem the easiest place to find reinforcements. If there are others we should be considering I am very open to hear about them. Having HOPE is far more fun than is it's just HOPELESS. The negative vibe from some posters is taking the easy way out. Saying "it won't work" is taking the easy way out IMO.

What he wants and what he gets aren't always the same. If I were Rick I wouldn't overpay for this or any other FA. Boras has worn out his welcome and hasn't been the best agent for many of his clients lately.

Not everyone wants to play for the Yankees. Some people like to be the big deal in a little town and some people like to be just one of the guys in a big town. Depends on the guys.
