This is egg on the face of all Sox fans who dared actually leave a little open room on the face that didnt already have egg on it

Harold just curious but what were your Miguel Vargas notes , if any, the last several years

data being so leaguewide and predictive now - i am wondering... what are the circumstances where a star hitting prospect even gets traded? the traits are so visible to the team's own people, if those people have the right power allotted to them, and trust. you may not be able to predict exactly which prospects become stars but you can probably correctly rope off a group of star-eligible prospects and not miss one. and keep those hands-off from teams. That landscape..is why we got Quero. that was a rash decision made by Arte Moreno at the deadline, and part of it was to try to give Ohtani a ring and a reason to stay. Ohtani = $$ and Angels GM feeling pressures, not just using his thought process.

Robert will be like a Kikuchi situation. The swing data and defense/speed metrics looks good, so teams these days are so high tech they wont be bothered by the lack of production. last year Fedde was production and Kikuchi was data, and we saw what won. On top of that Robert is a position player. Those dont become available. So i could see a (low) Top 100 prospect coming this way. Once there are a few bidders.

Cubs fans though were saying that he had some horrific miscues defensively. I think something has changed there, i dont know if it's the physical issues or what

here is another- cmon just let me have my fun

They want Amaya to play because their big goal is trading some pitching at the deadline. I think they feel last year the arms wouldve been worth a little more if we werent such a clown show, and Amaya (on defense) helps that some. Not saying i agree but also Workman probably is just some guy.

The old Jerry would have done this; you dont have to battle an agent but he has no interest in a rising payroll atm

everyone do a shot

i dont buy Vaughn is lacking any effort anyone else has. Could very well be he did workouts separately from the Osik group. the main takeaway here is MLB is super difficult and high draft picks bust all the time. during Vaughn's career MLB pitching underwent a total sea change and there was no adaptation made to that

If you have 5 years in the league i dont think you can be sent down without consent though. Does 2020 count as a full year of that?

Colas hasn't even shown extended ability to hit at the minors, let alone his mlb opportunities

Heyman said on 670 that at the deadline the Dodgers offered Ryan River and Gavin Lux for Crochet

The Sox will get a good haul but two 55s don't get traded at once, that's doesn't happen anymore

Does passan's latest have anything of note?

anyone see if Kiley McDaniel changed anything re the Sox a half hour ago?

Twitter is messed up. I am back wishing to be part of a community again

scherzer will settle for less than 120m....he's 37 and didnt entirely finish last season 100%

I come to Soxtalk expecting to see the post from some beer-swilling sloth of a man here say "Robert shouldve had it" and of course the forum does not disappoint

Whenever we are bad again, lets do full rebuild again. it becomes worth it. Maybe 43-yr old Ryan Cordell can come back.

it's amazing how Yolmer has almost been this 2 WAR type of guy, while being an automatic out at the plate. Amazing defense.

the hype was all earned
