Robertson''s value has increased, while his money has decreased and the Nats bullpen needs have greatly increased.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ May 23, 2017 -> 03:56 PM) It's 4 top 100s (by some counts) and if you get Tucker/Martes, you won't get much else. If Sox don't think thatd Tucker/Martes are that far ahead of the other group, then do it. No one has Daz Cameron as a top 100 prospect

QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 16, 2017 -> 02:50 PM) Moncada skipped AAA though. Obviously it's only 30+ PA the kid has so its silly to write him off, but Happ to me looks like the more impressive hitter. Minor league career statline: Yoan Moncada .294/.396/.484/.880 Ian Happ .275/.362/.472/.834

Kannapolis actually has a day game today, so Hansen starts throwing in about 45 mins

Full slate of pitching tonight: http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?s...mp;ymd=20170516

If you get an offer worth considering, you look at it long and hard. If you dont, you still have an excellent 8th and 9th situation the next couple of seasons. Simple.

So what the hell is going on with Frazier?

So this is probably their best lineup right now, right? Saladino Cabrera A. Garcia Abreu Davidson Frazier Narvaez Anderson L. Garcia

He has a .565 BABIP

Also, in Dunnings write-up you have Kannapolis as High A.

Looks great! I will routinely follow this post throughout the season. Those K/9 numbers are insane.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 11:18 AM) Q - Cy Young Abreu - MVP Moncada-Giolito-Lopez go 1-2-3 in ROY voting. Are we talking about the only way the Sox have a chance at a playoff game?

QUOTE (daa84 @ Mar 28, 2017 -> 08:06 AM) Maybe the idea really is to lose as much as possible this year Ummm, duh?

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 08:31 AM) Rodgers / Hoffman / Murphy would be a huge haul for Quintana alone Not really

Dead arm usually happens a couple months into the season though, to have it a couple games in to ST isnt a good omen. He's supposed to be their reliable one too lol.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 23, 2017 -> 07:27 AM) Is he going to play a position or pitch in the majors though? Pitch IMO

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 18, 2017 -> 09:25 AM) The point was that there is a wider range of players available in January than there is in June/July and that's true. Certainly there's a full spectrum of outcomes that could happen with the players in consideration now and that's worth noting. However, the underlying point that is indisputable in my opinion is the fact that the Sox have a wider pool of players to choose from than they will in July. There are players that could "potentially" help an MLB team in 2017 that are available now like Glasnow. If Glasnow sticks with Pittsburg and becomes a #3 type this year, he's out. Sox aren't getting him anymore. Same could be said with Martes, Albies and potential other headliners. This isn't even considering the risk of Quintana getting hurt, underperforming or having his value flogged down with bad luck in a small sample size (high BABIP, unsustainable HR/FB%, bad defense, etc.). If you're Chris Sale or Kershaw your value won't be touched by a three months of a say, 4.2 ERA, but if you're Jose Quintana...who knows how that affects things. He's not the sexy American with a 98 MPH who's been under baseball fans' microscope for ten years. He's the minor league free agent from Columbia who you're pleasantly surprised hits 93 MPH. He takes the ball every fifth days and uses everything in his repertoire to get people out. At this point, despite his contract and track record, his value is far from fungible. He's more susceptible to a value regression than most of his value equivalents. It's hard to say what the Sox should do without seeing the actual offers, but to me, his value is likely higher than it ever will be and the returns are not going to have the inclusiveness they have now until next November.

This is pretty standard for an arm strengthening program...

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Jan 17, 2017 -> 07:38 AM) Astros fans on Twitter are actually saying they would rather send their top prospects for Sonny Gray... What in the hell is wrong with them? Same velocity, Q walks less and strikes out more, better career FIP, and longer control (I believe). To prefer Gray over Quintana is to simply not want to give up the farm. Thing is, A's arent going to take less than Gray's value and now wouldn't be a good time to trade him.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 16, 2017 -> 01:55 PM) A's won't sell him discounted. His value is at his lowest. And to try to get a team to trade a pitcher to you to help you out, it should take more. Especially in division

QUOTE (beautox @ Jan 4, 2017 -> 02:57 AM) I want to see live in that dream world; around the horn. DH - Fisher* C - Collins* 1B - Bell# 2B - Moncada# SS - Anderson 3B - Machado LF - Beer* CF - Meadows* RF - Basabe# SP - Giolito SP - Rodon* SP - Kopech SP - McKay* - from the '17 draft SP - Lopez CL - Burdi SU - Fulmer That lineup got me 6 to midnight

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 12:00 PM) Except there seems to be other corroboration of his story. Seems Bruce confirmed report, but his reporting is equally suspect IMO

This offseason is f***ing exhausting. The Sox FO is so incredibly predictable with the way they go about their business.

Torres, Rutherford, Acevedo, and Fowler for Q and DRob and I'm happy
