QUOTE (Reddy @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 12:21 PM) Statistically speaking, RV was the best in baseball at bullpen management last year. He's a good manager. I'd be curious to see the supporting data there.

@MaineSkin Viciedo was 2nd to only Stanton in oppo fld HRs '14. BABIP .030 blw avg, if he gets FBs up, it's 30+ anywhere

QUOTE (oldsox @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 11:24 AM) Ravelo would have helped the Sox in a year or two at the most. LaRoche gone after 2016. Ravelo was ticketed for AAA this year and probably major league ready in 2016. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a solid big league career. I still like the trade, just wish we could have kept him. Do we get two draft picks if Shark goes away? One from Oakland and one compensation pick? Where would he play?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 11:13 AM) I am the only one who's not worried about KC at all? Everything went their way last year and they shouldn't have made it past the WC game. They lose their best pitcher and one of their best hitters. Yes, their young pitching is great but I'll take the top of our rotation over theirs any day of the week. I think Cleveland is the second best team in the division right now. Unless they do something big, they are going to take a huge hit next season.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 11:07 AM) Young dooens't mean better and young really talented players cost more in money and talent if there is a trade. If longoria was 5 years younger he would cost a lot more. so this young player will cost alot to obtain. And that .720 screams outlier to me. He hadn't been below .845 ever.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 10:28 AM) Yeah...we'll see what they get. If they get something of extremely minimal value, then i'd say it wasn't worth the risk of being stuck paying him 4+M. $4 million isn't even really that much today. It won't even get you a decent middle reliever anymore.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 10:24 AM) I still don't get why we didn't non-tender Dayan. If they are able to trade him for something else, that pretty clearly shows why they didn't non-tender him.

This will be the next D1 signing out of my HS. https://vine.co/v/OrEuwP3Dml3

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 09:08 AM) Wonderful. Trade our next Sale for a .614 OBP. Or is it a .724 OBP. And it doesn't even touch on the key need of LF. The "grass is always greener" is growing like mad. Personally I'd trade Sale for a guy with a .614 OBP.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 09:08 AM) They just spent a ton on Sandoval and currently have Ortiz DHing for them. Who's moving where? They'd find a place.

This is why you don't trade away your guys, and plan on getting them back in free agency... right Boston?

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 08:26 AM) Gregerson to Astros. They finally got a guy. Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 24m24 minutes ago Source confirms: Gregerson to #Astros, three years, $18.5M. First reported: @BNightengale Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS 15m15 minutes ago gregerson can earn $2.5M in incentives to reach possible $21M. no option. @astros

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 08:59 AM) This would be bonkers. There's no way we'd win the bidding. A team like Boston would empty their farm system for him.

Popular + Young + not very good = Justin Beiber.

Unless you are talking about Sale or Quintana, you aren't dealing in reality.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 09:19 PM) Also, what happened with Santiago. Long man. Starter. Closer. Forgotten roster spot. Starter. Not good enough.
