I'm totally ok with sending Yolmer to a contender, but some team is going to have to pay decently for him because he was a 2 WAR player last year and is on pace for a 3 WAR player this year. For a guy with 3 more arbitration seasons remaining, that's not cheap. A 2-3 WAR player with 3 more arbitration years, we're talking like a top 75 prospect as the main return, maybe better.

I would really hate to see Yolmer traded but if a team makes an offer headlined by a top 75 prospect it would be hard for me to argue against it. And I consider myself to be a pretty big fan of Yolmer.

If no one offers that, yay he's here more years. No downside.
July 1, 20187 yr The deadline would be an excellent time to bring back Diane Viciedo perhaps for Moancada and just go for that trophy right now.
July 1, 20187 yr Kenny wanted me to play GM but I am too busy being beautiful. Davidson one night our shutdown closer and next nite he's a wallbanger.

July 1, 20187 yr I can confidently say those are the three worst consecutive posts from a single poster in Soxtalk history. Can’t tell if the poster is high on meth or just really struggling to be funny. Either way, this type of garbage is ruining the overall quality of the board.

In all the years Viciedo was here, no one ever called him Diane. That made me laugh!

Gotta give him that

The dumb meatball fans who thoroughly oppose the rebuild will keep whining during the rebuild and then jump in the bandwagon when the team is good. You also have to hit with your prospects. It would be great if they got that rare impact player like Frank Thomas or Mike Trout. Plus they seem to fear sending a guy back down if they aren't cutting it. It's hard to be all ga-ga over a rebuild when you see the same inconsistencies in this organization. There is no shortage of baseball dumb in this organization. Baseball fundamentals should be innate instead of they aint. Edited July 1, 20187 yr by kitekrazy

Houston went through the exact same thing with their fanbase. That's a team that picked first three years in a row if I remember correctly. LMFAO, look at that team now!

Who, if we're lucky, will develop into another Yolmer. At some point, they have to start building the team up. And hope never to hear again the importance of Abreu's great leadership...move him.

His RF defense was panned his last couple of years, and when he was signed, he started off slow and was Jermaine Died. Frank Thomas was slammed on this board. Eventually, if they are around long enough, every player will be hated at some level by at least a few. Edited July 1, 20187 yr by Dick Allen

That makes me question whether or not he was just lucky his first year.

July 1, 20187 yr On a more serious note, I'd like to see the Sox attempt to acquire Jon Gray from the Rockies. He has great stuff but it doesn't work in the thin air in CO. Was recently sent to AAA. Maybe in a Bust/Bust deal with Fulmer??? Edited July 1, 20187 yr by Jack Parkman

And from what I can tell from the 30 seconds I’ve spent looking at his numbers, he’s been more unlucky than anything. I’d take him straight up for Jose but seriously doubt the Rockies would bite on that.
