FS: Draft Profile-Garrett Crochet LHP Tennessee
Hard pass on Chrochet. Injuries and reliever risk. Has shown no evidence his arm can handle a starters load. Needs more development with his delivery. Has a short stride which causes shoulder injuries, which occurred this season.

2020 MLB Draft Thread
I’m not very excited about that pick. Gives up a lot hits/contact and hasn’t been dominant in the college ranks. Also, has had issues with his back. Take a pass on him. Rather go with with a hitter in the 1st and high ceilings pitchers with 2nd -5th. Just like last year.

Betts to Dodgers
Dodgers also received #67 draft pick from the Twins. In one of the strongest draft classes in years.

Betts to Dodgers
Totally agree Red Sox the big winner here. I’m a big fan of Jeter Downs. They needed a 2b. Verdugo 5 years, Downs, Wong, and a savings of $48 million for 1 year of Betts and Price whose a shell of himself.

Offseason 2019-2020 MLB Catch All Thread
Really don’t understand this trade for the Rays. They must know something we don’t. I think Liberatore has huge potential. Rays got a very light return.

Sox acquire Nomar Mazara for Steele Walker
I like this deal and think it will turn out in Sox favor. Mazara will only make $5.6 million, have 2 years of control, about to turn 25 years old best years are ahead of him, bats lefty which Sox needed. Walker is only 13 months younger in High A Ball, hasn't been able to hit lefties, and shown little power. I know Mazara also has had difficulties hitting lefties, but was rushed with the Rangers and I think things might click in a different environment. I know analytics have been down on him, but has a ton of upside and is definitely a need and risk the White Sox should take.

Abreu Signs 3/$50M Extension
JD Martinez has 3 years and $62.5 left on his contract at Age 32. Abreu should be nowhere near that type of contract and he's 1 year older than Martinez.
-
Abreu Signs 3/$50M Extension
Love the Grandal move bringing in a lefty at bat that gets on base that brings solid defense to help the rotation. Hate this Abreu signing. Ages 33-35 regression is a guaranteed and horrible defense at 1B and will eventually move to full time DH. Hate having one set player at DH. I like being able to rotate your DH when you have Eloy's bad defense and others needing a day off to help rest their bodies through a long season. This 3 year contract was completely Jerry leading the charge.

Sox trade rights to Welington Castillo to rangers
The only way things will change is Reinsdorf is 6 feet under and new ownership. Tired of the same broken record. It really is sad that every major league team is committed including Baltimore internationally. Pathetic
