If Bumgarner can maintain his recent velocity uptick then he's much more attractive. I'd still bet on a dude like him to be productive albeit overpaid.

that's probably more positive comments than actually good sox prospects.

I wanted to see his krate get to at least 28% so if he can make it 25% legitimately I don't see why he can't reach all of the potential people saw in him.

Man Kodi Medeiros is pitching horribly,

The smokescreen stuff is so weird for the mlb draft. You can't trade picks so who cares if people know your board?

My point wasn't to demand calling up Robert it's to show that it wouldn't preclude declining on Eaton. But no I'm on Cordell over Palka now. Palka's defensive value was too low and he didn't show improvement in any respect in obp so he lost his chance.

from Kiley's Chat: Time Baby 12:30 Is Greg Jones a possibility for the Sox at #45? Kiley McDaniel 12:30 yeah, if they take Vaughn at 3, I could see them going for more upside with the 2nd pick And Jones may get there ++++ Greg Jones: "Draft eligible sophomore was an athlete-to-watch in high school, still is somewhat unrefined but has huge tools: 7 speed, power from both sides, fits somewhere up the middle." SS, UNC-Wilmington http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/profile.asp?ID=209973 Turned 21 in March Slashing .331/.486/.512 with a 18% walk rate and 13% k rate

I mean, bring up Robert. C- McCann/Roidington 1b/DH - Abreu/Yonder 2b - Leury SS - Anderson 3b - Yoan LF - Eloy CF - Robert RF - Eaton Bench - Yolmer/Cordell/(RIPJay)/Tilson/Rondon That's legitimate offense at each position and adds a .350 obp guy ahead of Moncada, allows Anderson to drop, and lets leury play in the 7-9.

i unfortunately missed the "not" in my post.

yeah robert is not going to be better than BOTH soto and robles. Troll post?

Absent salary coming back I'm not sure that's enough.

Yeah the whole rotation is a tough question, as it is the main driver of their salary commitments.

These are the types of deals that are very hard to grasp what the value would be. If we could leverage our depleted salary to dampen the return then its attractive. At full price, not attractive. But the nats also have a core of young players, they could realistically shed a lot of salary and re-tool. Players like Ryan Zimmerman aren't longterm issues, but he saves them 18 million this year. Eaton would save 20 million off books. They have Soto/Robles/Taylor. Kieboom to replace Rendon. So if we are a part of just shedding to allow younger prospects to form a new core, give them flexibility to assign money to bullpen, they are probably better than they are now.

Yeah I sorta like Bleday more as a 1 year phenom since there was such a pronounced change that led to the success.

Uh, yeah the nate jones and rodon roster spots are not the points of the roster I'd take issue with. Adam Eaton was 2 WAR for 95 games, for 10 million. Still pretty good.

You wrote those dollar amounts as if they are bad when in fact they are very good.

Like if we took back anibal sanchez...that should cut some prospect cost.

They had a scene on Cersei's prophecy.

Though I do wonder if acquiring salary would be enough.

I don't hate this. Hahn will get killed going up against Rizzo again though.

Definitely an el duque nod

just want to say again that this start time sucks.

I like them a lot.

Eh, I wouldn't expect that his first few years.

You see guys, Anderson is a righty. While Tilson is a lefty. It's unstoppable if you put them back to back.
