March 31, 20215 yr Jerry sells the team to Mark Cuban and he moves the team to Havana................................
March 31, 20215 yr Disagree with you (Parkman). Dallas will not be Shields. He’ll be fine. BUT if you are correct we have Kopech and Crochet waiting in the wing BUT not stretched out enough to be effective starters this years. If you are correct about Dallas we are possibly just a wild card team.

Dallas Keuchel is awful(Shields bad) and people are lamenting his contract by June 15th. Sox continue to throw him out there to get lit up because dollars, and it ends up costing them a playoff spot. Rodon finally shows why he was the 3rd pick in the draft, just in time to go get paid elsewhere. Cease shows signs of improvement. Better K%, fewer walks but ERA/FIP around 4.00. Kopech and Crochet don't get enough innings out of the bullpen to get stretched out next year, making them both pretty much career relievers. Rub one out brother and life will be better

Oh and Giolito wins the AL Cy Young, and Rodon shows us why he was the 3rd pick in the draft in 2014, staying healthy and striking out 180+ batters with a 3.50 or lower ERA. The glass is both half full and half empty. Edited March 31, 20215 yr by Jack Parkman
March 31, 20215 yr Larussa being named Manager of the Year. I'm not being sarcastic. Taking the premise of the boldest prediction I believe could happen, that is it. To earn it he guides the team through a serious rough patch in early September and clinching the division.

Now, next time I randomly run into you at a game I expect you to accept offer of a free beer or two!

I don’t think so. This just shows the flaws in WAR. No way 2019 was a significantly better season than for example 2014 when he had a 2.74 era in 204 innings
March 31, 20215 yr Eloy wins MVP. Yes you read that correctly, he's just that good when he comes back.

March 31, 20215 yr 90 wins. Adam Engel will prove that he is not an everyday player. Eloy will not make a significant contribution.

March 31, 20215 yr In terms of long term starter depth, Dunning would be around 5-7 range. Giving that up for a bridge to that depth for a clearly superior pitcher without having to include far greater prospects when the Sox have reached their window is well worth it

March 31, 20215 yr Adam Engel crushes Andrew Vaughn in OPS (by at least 50 points) and is considered an everyday OFer heading into 2022.

March 31, 20215 yr Honestly my boldest prediction is that Andrew Vaughn turns out to be a schwarberesque outfielder and the Sox never have the temptation to give Eloy a glove again
