Lol this board

It wasn’t even an outlier season for Bradley, it was a gangbusters September.

Welcome to the offseason. All baseball news is fair game in PHT.

Guys I’m hearing the Sox are weighing their options this offseason and are going feel little the market before making decisions.

Seems right to me. In 2019 I think he gets 10 mill (see Porcello). 20% off is my expected bench mark this offseason.

I’d be happy with this, but I have a feeling getting a Hobbs would be an issue as candidates probably realize the story from Hahn and TLR are not the same.

With 12/22 agreed on, draft coming up, it’s going to be a really fun few weeks of nba news

will take the other side of that bet.

More upset about this than Larussa. Sox had all the pieces set and then Reinsdorf took a piss. But I'm glad all the worst people in the org are happy.

I’ll take that bet.

Would be a good second baseman.

Cool so then lets get another catcher.

I think Yadi would be worse for the #changethegame culture than Larussa by a lot.

My worst nightmare.

Yeah one scenario was going big with Bauer Stroman springer the other was Quintana ...something forgot rest. Basically the tweet equivalent of *makes jerkoff motion with hands*

Springer seems right price wise, I'd honestly take 15% off the rest. I think these numbers are too high for this offseason. Specifically see no way Realmuto hits that (and I think he'd hit 150 if he was a FA last year)

Another hire I'd be very pumped about.

I don't mind both perspectives, just don't like when it becomes a crossfire act where everytime exit velocity is mentioned DJ needs to complain about how we already can tell whether a ball is hit hard or not.

Same, he'd be perfect. Fe[tt]er has had a lot of interest recently, but I think the poster Orlando mentioned the state of college athletics. Baseball programs are going to be in a lot worse shape than football or basketball, and add to that it's a big ten program and not SEC and you are multiplying that pressure. Even if the TLR pairing isn't ideal, I could see it actually being an opportune time to pry him from college program. edit: and it's clear I'll never get his name right. FETTER. FETTER. It's better to be FETTER

I like Masur but really didn't like the pairing. Without Farmer, suddenly DJ seemed like the cranky one, and honestly came off as condescending to Masur a lot. I think Masur tried to bring in some newer analytics and things like benetti and DJ would just go on long dismissive diatribes. Disappointing since I generally liked DJ on his own, but they had zero chemistry.

I really liked the crew WGN gave to the sox. Sad to see that go. The constantly changing pre and post crews is a bummer, but then again, I listen to maybe 4-5 pre or post games a year

Yesss we need another nba fan on the forum. What an insanely long stretch to try and entertain ourselves with bench coach rumors and version 223 of a mock draft. But that said once they clear up the schedule the condensed FA/draft period is going to be insanely fun.

I'm not even sure there is a good option yet, but there will definitely be an opportunity in next few years, I just hope we can take advantage. The Greinke/Verlander type availability are the perfect pieces for up and coming contenders. Sox need to build depth now and be patient for a big, reliable vet like that.

As someone who wants 2 SPs this year, I'm starting to think hard about Minor as SP #2. Open questions are whether the weird schedule last year made his fastball so much worse, as his velo was down and a lot even though that has been the trend post surgery in 2015. That said, that guy gets you innings, and I'm worried about what happens to this rotation in a 162 game schedule with an injury up front.
