Worst trade in Sox history?

I think most of your "worst ____ in history" statements are obvious exaggerations. In a year or two, this one could darn well be right.

Is it 2019 yet?

 

Gonna be a very long year. Just have to pray core guys stay healthy.

better start getting warmed up, Hector!

I mean that Bell/Sosa trade didn’t work out too well, but this one has a chance of being up there.

James Shields rhp

4 years/$75M (2015-18), plus 2019 option

•4 years/$75M (2015-18), plus 2019 club option •signed by San Diego as a free agent 2/11/15

Why the f*** is this guy on our roster?

 

great question. I would rather sign Colon and give him a shot.

James Shields folks. The guy who gave up the home run to Bartolo Colon right before we traded a future all-star for him.

 

Haha that gif will never die until he's gone. hi8is ensured that.

Well, we know who Kopech will bounce from the rotation

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 29, 2018 -> 03:34 PM)
Alright, he got an out, not all bad....

 

 

His ERA quite literally fell by an infinite amount.

This is the longest inning ever, Sox are so dumb for treating shield like anything but a 5th starter.

Never knew what they saw in this gas can. It's not like this was the only guy they could've signed or traded for at the time. He was total garbage then too.

Ok James, lets go the distance and get that ERA at 4. ;)

If this team wants to win games next season, they need to ditch losers like Shields. We don't need to build a losing culture and it's critical for us to take a step up this season.

Shields is absolutely going to get released by like, June.

He would be getting lit up in a high A game with this "stuff". He looks like s***. My goodness, what is this f***ing breaking ball that he is leaving up and DEAD OVER THE PLATE OVER AND OVER????????

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 29, 2018 -> 01:02 PM)
Bold predictions today:

 

Shields goes 6+, 2 ER

Davidson goes deep twice

 

I tried.

 

Opening Night on Saturday with Giolito on the mound.

Gonna need some of these mediocre veterans to log innings though.

he's not going to do anything but lose games and tax the pen. Cut bait on this guy. He f***ing sucks. Literally could not do worse giving the starts to Dylan Covey.

When Rodon comes back.

But he helped Gio. We won the trade

If that's mediocre I cant wait to see what complete s*** looks like

Santiago should end up in the rotation next unless they bring Kopech up early.

I'm very disappointed y2jimmy hasn't posted a 2019 draft position thread yet :)
