Seems to be on par with Hector as far as connections go. I’ll take that with a grain of salt.

Same

Maybe I’m totally wrong, but Kopech has a limited number of innings in him this season and I just have zero faith in TLR to manage those correctly.

Two dudes that turned out to be really good and the Sox gave up on them far too soon. It really is a damn shame.

That's fair. I would do it w/o thinking twice but I'm not high on Sheets being much more than a platoon DH. I don't think he nets Bassitt+ though.

All of us hoping it would kick off the instant the lockout ended were probably being a little overzealous. I could see things heating up early afternoon tomorrow. Enough time to let the CBA news to settle and get the rumor mill churning.

Gotta love that disingenuousness.

Sheets is a nice stick, but people acting like he's the second coming is silly. I'm selling high and not thinking twice.

Wasn't the Denver owner just crying about keeping the lights on during the lockout?

Maybe he's lucky and stays completely healthy, but it's not something you can really bank on over a whole season.

I don't particularly trust any of the AAA or AAAA arms in the system. I doubt TLR does either. Unless they add depth I fear he will burn through Kopech's innings pretty quick.

I would guess not. 150 might be a bit high but less than 120 feels low to me.

There are smart & rational ways to get him rest throughout the season so he's strong come October. TLR is still the manager of this club however so feel free to throw smart & rational out the window.

I sure as hell am not. He was toast last year and I don't see much changing if he is still in the rotation.

Nada. Nothing on the rumour mill yet that I’ve seen.

I was guessing it was Conforto A) & Castellanos B). I’m not overly interested in Castellanos, but seeing all 3’s stats side by side he would still be my 3rd choice of the three contract demands aside.

No, not really. HR and the wRC+ vs RHP still tip in A’s favour despite a little less OBP. Even with an option C added I’m not swayed much.

A

I’d put more faith it their development than it happening here.

Trade him before they realise he sucks at 1B.

What a duplicitous tool.
