If the price for Peralta was more than Smith and Wolkow, that seems really light for Detmers.

Unless he is writing a check for half a billion to him, that would be a genuinely terrible idea.

Look, if the Sox are already looking to put him into a deal like this, it probably means they see something limiting his ceiling at the major league level. If they saw him as a top end catcher, this deal doesn't get traction. Could they be wrong, sure.

To be frank, I am more worried that Colson is hurt than I am anything else.

Apparently Chris Getz doesn't agree with you.

I mean I get the prospect hugging that happens during a deadline, but can we not act like he is the next coming of a sure thing? Even if his bat is for real, we have no idea if he can be a catcher or not.

Sure, which puts him firmly into a deal like this. It's like when the Sox draft the guy throwing 100 in college, but can't find the strike zone to save his life. Sure IF he puts it together he could be something, and he will get looks because of his loud tool, but the runway for him is much longer than others to get there.

If is doing some heavy lifting here. Realistically, he's got a better chance of being out of baseball in 3 years than he does being a major league contributor. There's nothing wrong with a guy like this, but he has a LOT of work to do, that he probably won't be able to do.

Charles and Jerry would have a lot in common.

If you want to bicker over 8th, 10th, 12th feel free, but the point remains. It isn't a big return.

This isn't that big of a price. It's two guys outside of the org's top 10 in a middle tier system.

I mean he's not dead or anything, but because of the type of stuff he has his window for success is much more narrow than most. His stuff has to be more perfect, and he has less room for loss within it.

Development isn't linear for sure, and it definitely isn't certain. But I will say that the most important thing here should be putting the players in the best position to succeed, and not the team in the best position to win. Those two things might not be the same things at the same time.

If they are talking about moving Adley

First game will be in Rome

Guess who got his 10 million dollar check

That seems too good to be true, but I would love it.

I guess that makes you a follower since you are here bickering about roles.

It seems about the time he got injured is when his numbers started tailing off. I wonder if there is a connection more than they are telling us.

No, bringing people's family into discussions is really weird. Honestly it is a shitty thing to do. Leave family out of it. I promise you Noah is a big boy who can answer for himself. The rest is creepy.

I really hope they sit on him, because he is worth an absolute HAUL and we don't want Detroit re-arming in the short term.

Quintana was signed to a dirt cheap extension with a longer track record.

I mean it seems obvious to me. If he was a Dbag, he wouldn't be around.

Predictable thing is predictable.
