Just keeping score here since I came across this while searching for something else 1. Nelson - Good! 13.8 K/9, excellent bullpen pitcher. Sox should have listened to me. Don't read the rest! Stop reading! 2. Folty - hoo boy, -1 WAR, 6 ERA 3. Matt Moore - 6.5 ERA out of the bullpen...oof, okay, okay. Not great! but preetty bad. 4. Trevor Williams - 5 ERA, but, he had a good month? I'd say Trevor williams was about as bad as I expected. But probably worse in the AL. 5. Anibal Sanchez - Never came back, so I'll chalk him up as a win 6. Chase Anderson - By far the worst. I think the lesson is don't swim in the same ponds as the Phillies. 7 ERA, only twice as many Ks as BBs. Just absolutely awful. 7. Tommy Milone - 6.5 ERA, also just f***ing brutally terrible. So 1/7 or 2/7 if you give me that the retired guy wasn't actually hurting a team like the other guys on this list. the sox chose Rodon instead, wise choice.

Gavin really rounds out the lineup much better, and I think that should hopefully push FO to believe in getting a real backup catcher knowing that we have some LH power on bench already.

I could really just go for some national writer validating that some of these guys are legit interesting. I feel like when I had no idea and was just looking at box scores thinking Ruddy Yan was going to be incredible (guy had like 70 steals in single-A in the early 2000s). I've seen enough prospects crash and burn in kanny that seeing the mixture of players capable of hitting for average (rodriguez, polanco, mieses, mendoza) or power (rodriguez, mieses, krogman, ramos) or obp (krogman, ramos) that it feels like one or two could be capable of putting it all together. But I'd like some damn validation there. how many bryan ramos' are there in Tampa? 10? 20? who knows. edit: more on this, basically zero of these guys have any prospect pedigree. Ramos had the biggest bonus I believe? The high school guys like Krogman were not even in top 500 of BA I think? Rodriguez and Polanco just kinda showed up in DSL. Mieses had a real bonus, but none of these guys were top 30 international guys, or top 500 players. Soooo they all seem like wait and see but...I guess that means AA? or if they make noise in A+ together?

I think this is overly harsh. I'm not going to hold it against dipoto that they were way more competitive than expected this year. He has made some great trades and them developing Crawford was really impressive. I don't know if they have enough, but this trade definitely helps. It's not like the bulk of their rebuild is up yet, it's still coming with Kelenic and Rodriguez.

For the record, he was talking about in free agency.

Yeah that’s why I responded. He definitely said he tore his UCL and I never saw anything new. Weird if he’s pitching with it.

I don’t think so? And he would have pitched the ninth. I wonder if they are doing a Tanaka

I’m so confused. He’s in the box score tonight.

Well

No way, he did it to win first and foremost. They are leading wild card

Boooooooo. No removing players except for trades

Shocked by dipoto honestly

Man damn i saw this happening in June let’s see what suckass team pulled it off

oh uh

The rest of their draft should be okay right since they planned on him being overslot?

only 270k got it done. Oh to have comp picks and some extra budget.

Still funny to me. While an opponent getting a big hit you can easily be indifferent about. But when you see amazing catches its always a surge of awe. I recreated the calderon catch maybe 1000 times on my back deck, the bo jackson wall climber too.

man that announcer could not have cared less

Guillermo Cuevas, a 22 year old so mehr, continues to dominate DSL with another 6 IP of shutout ball, 2 H and 8 Ks with 0 walks. It's his second great start, for the year he's I think 11 IP 17K:1BB ratio, 7 H, and just 1 ER. Pretty good! Something interesting to me is Alvaro Aguero played CF today and hit a homer. He's 18, but I guess signed when he was 16 and was never assigned? Just like hanging out in the DR facility like tom hanks in terminal?

There is no lolmets to this. It just sucks. I hope he can get repaired via surgery and dominate.

?

Probably not. I would be hugely relieved if we got Kimbrel though. Life certainly would be easier with Kopech+Kimbrel+Hendriks.

it's about $70 mill over 4 years at this point. What'd we go all in for robert on, 56 mill?
