I'd prefer we go for it. But I'd have to think we are an underdog to make the playoffs. So if Bloom wanted to sell off, I could understand it, even if I didn't like it. But if we do sell off, I really want it to be all-in. At a minimum, Duvall, JT, Jansen, maybe Verdugo, and Paxton. I would have been really, really, really upset if the Sox had been all in sellers. At the same time, I would have been pretty upset if the Sox had made any moves that benefitted this year's team at the expense of the long term. I knew Bloom was not going to make any blockbuster deal, but I'm a little surprised that virtually nothing happened. I guess he just wasn't pleased with any returns he would have gotten. At any rate, Sale and Story should be significant upgrades. As far as making the playoffs, we are 1.5 behind the Jays, with a big series coming up against them this weekend. We also play the Astros for 7 games over the last 2 weeks of August. We can make our own destiny. Lastly, I'm glad the deadline has passed. |

Said over a week ago, we should be sellers
I am going to be interested if this clown front office does the same horseshit as they did last year Do you really think the Red Sox are that bad? We are the 5th best team in the AL in run differential and the 9th best team overall. Maybe not as good as we would like to be, but certainly not as bad as you make them out to be. |

Yeah,
if they were to sneak in they would be one and done
then get the lower pick in the draft
that fact alone goes against everything to the dear prospects Bloomball goes by.
This team has folks playing in positions they don't normally play in
a team where one of the fastest lead off hitters only plays vs RHP
leads the league in errors
close to the top of the league for opener starts
base running and fielding brain farts nightly
and obviously the powers that be don't think they are. |
