I’d say the flaw explanation is the more realistic option. This is only the beginning of his third year

I like Fedde though

Colas is seven games into the beginning of his third season in the mlb system and has played less than 180 games in the minors. Sox are in no position to be dumping guys like Colas. Come on now

He wouldn’t have to when the Sox could have called up Barlow, Anderson, Touki, Kuhl, Woodford, etc

Sosa, Ramos and Montgomery would have been called up before Rodriguez imo. He would have been a possible mid season next year callup or september maybe if he had a productive year

Justin Anderson or Barlow could be as good or better than Shaw or Leone. I just don’t see how this isn’t purely bad moves

You wouldn’t have needed Rodriguez to perform at mlb level. Have Sosa perform at mlb level and get rid of Dejong or somebody, with Rodriguez at AAA. Or same with Speas. Cut Shaw and bring up one of the other AAAA pitchers at Charlotte

Yeah he’s worth preserving on the forty man roster of a stronger organization than the Sox

He needs another year of development in the minors. This is the downside of signing 17 year olds. You have to protect before them before they are actually ready

This is only the beginning of Colas’ third season in the mlb system. Maybe he just needs some more at bats? I still think he’ll be playing for the sox by July if not sooner

What rumors?

What the H?? Makes no god damned sense

I thought this team might avoid 100 losses but I’m starting to think the soxtalk prognosticators pegging them at approaching 120 might be right. Soroka managed to bulldog his way to a strong start and the Sox still got smashed.

Why would Sheets ‘peel off’ there?

If a team averaged 2 million attendance for 20 years, 2 billion would only be fifty dollars for every ticket sold. Seems reasonable

I was specifically referring to Robert, I probably should have been more clear. I’m cool with trading anyone besides him

No thanks

True. Their broadcasts are horrible.

I’ll take the over on 9.5 Braves runs

Zavala and Iriarte are both excellent high ceiling prospects. Thorpe is more of a high floor. The more I looked into that trade the more I liked it. I’d be willing to bet Zavala and Iriarte are at least top 75 mlb prospects within two years. Iriarte is straight up filthy and Zavala showed very advanced plate skills at only 18 years old. This guy could be in MLB by 21

He seems to be throwing easy, too. I think he could still be pumping them in there at 100-102 if he wanted. Mechanics seem reined in as well

My prediction is Kopech will be a member of the Dodgers rotation in two years

Well, if you think I’m being an ass hole by stating reasoned arguments backed by actual facts while responding to the comments from southsider and southside hitmen, in which I was baselessly accused of attempting “page moderation” and being an ass hat, then I would argue you don’t have a very good handle on what an ass hole is. Please identify a single rude comment I have made anywhere on this board

Answer this. Why did you just claim Clevinger was “the one guy to out perform his FIP and xERA by that much last year” when that is straight up false? Meanwhile you haven’t identified single thing I’ve stated that is false, while claiming I am ignoring facts and have an agenda. If I had an agenda wouldn’t I be the one telling lies, employing insinuation and poisoning the well instead of simply formulating arguments and calmly delivering them in the face of ad hominem attacks such as “obtuse asshat”.
