Q is the only starter who may not cost those guys. Syndergaard might need innings management too so maybe him. Martin Perez loves Tx and Tx would be fools not to move him since he can return to them next year if he really likes it there, but they want an impact player too, because he's been spectacular, almost as good as Cease. What do you think a Quintana takes from this system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 If the Sox were really "aggressive", they would be discussing Pablo Lopez with the Marlins for Eloy and others. Would be a huge win, clear up a portion of our DH logjam, and lock up an outstanding pitcher over the next 3 1/3 seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offense is a bigger problem than starting pitching at this point. It won't matter how good your starters are if you struggle to put up 3 runs almost every game. Peralta strictly LF and if the Sox are going to play Pollock , Eloy or Vaughn it should be in LF, Naquin is a not a good defender. Better than Sheets in RF and better offensively and on the bases. K's more than SHeets , walks less. He wouldve been OK but marginally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just need someone who can play RF that's actually a decent OFer. Cause the alternative right now is seeing Sheets play extra deep first base. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCsoxfan Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Classic Hahn unwilling to buy low on anyone in the off-season and now willing to pay full price on a guy like Quintana. This guy is Stan Bowman in a different suit. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Naquin, Peralta and Benintendi (Naquin being the only RF) went off the board quickly just because they are LH OF . Happ is a LF too.

Well you saw how much Haseley was used and AZ isn't trading their young LH Ofers. DOn't have the bullets for them any way. Hahn tried unsuccessfully thinking Pollock could play RF in the whole Kimbrel mess. It's so sad they couldn't find a team with even a AAA LH good D type OF talent for RF for Kimbrel . But they let one walk with Luis Gonzalez. Maybe data and analytics did something with him the Sox couldnt. That's what happened to Martin Perez when he went back to Tx. What a fucking mess this off season was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCsoxfan Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I remember a bunch of us on here pounded the table to sign Brantley before Houston did. But of course Hahn can’t be forward looking or creative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much competition for pretty much any SP who's been decent this year. Pittsburgh hasnt let him face teams the 3rd time through the order and it's worked well. Thats why i figured he could be paired up with Kopech . Ideally you want the opposite handed guys pitching when you do that. Maybe Sosa plus another guy . I'm not good at figuring out who wants what. Have to be too much of an expert on too many things and there's no way to know what Pittsburgh is thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I wanted him, even during the rebuild because I figured he was one guy who they could get a quality minor leaguer for .They didn't do enough signing guys who they could trade for more minor league talent during the rebuild . That's one of the reason why the minors are a mess ,among many. Instead they did what they usally do spent around the margins with ALonso, John Jay a bunch of scrap heap guys instead of one decent free agent every year signing they could trade later. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Brantley's lack of power isn't as conspicuous this season with the ball not carrying for most of the league other than Judge. Definition of a professional hitter with competitive at bats and veteran leadership. Unfortunately, out of their comfortable budget. They got scared off because of the Melky Cabrera flop. But Brantley has always been a better, more consistent player. Edited July 31, 2022 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi8is Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 By Wednesday the following will happen: 1.) We will be one game out of first place. 2.) We will have acquired a starting pitcher. 3.) We will have acquired two relief pitchers. 4.) We will have acquired a left handed hitting right fielder. 5.) Everyone on Soxtalk will completely lose their collective minds as our prospects are all gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
