I'm fine with moving one, but not both. Assuming we are only on the hook for $20 million per season on Price.
1B and 2B are replaceable position prospects.
I can almost bet attendance will see yet another jump this season.
As I said yesterday, there is still plenty positive on the current roster to get on-board with.
All the angst from Sox fans. Did people really honestly think the Sox were going to come out with a Cole, Strasburg , or Rendon this offseason? I'm assuming that's where all the negativeness comes from.
I myself was shocked we even got Grandal.
Maybe the Wheeler thing is what ruined the mood. But let's get real, 5 years $120 million for that guy was a tall reach to begin with.
Service time at the expense of paying some scrub like Porcelo/Nova $10 million? I highly doubt they would do that or it being a smart business decision. But I wouldn't put it past the Sox.
Well, you have to assume you get a legit #2 and either one of Cease or Kopech pitches to their top prospect potential and moves on up.
If Kopech and Cease end up sucking, then yes we are doomed.
It goes for all our young core, if they end up sucking then this rebuild goes to shit. No matter how many Free Agents you go out and get.
I'm glad folks are finally starting to read into this clown. He's a great talker, has been since he took the job. But he's no different than Kenny. At least Kenny would give you the "can't spend 10 cents" crap if you don't show up to games.
I don't understand the doom and gloom about Lopez. Yes he's been a disappointment so far, but he has the raw stuff for it to possibly click at any moment.
As a #5, I have no problem with giving him another 180 inning rope. Especially over Procelo's washed up ass and $10 million.
If he covers the return of Kopech and Rodon, doesn't that mean neither Kopech and Rondon make an appearance this season?
Or are we looking for a 6 man rotation, something no one ever does?
Moncada, Giollito, Anderson, Eloy, Abreu, Robert, Kopech, Cease, Grandal ...... yeah, let me go find another team to root for this season. Man up b****es. The Sky isn't falling.
As I said earlier, we are the most delusional bunch of sports fans anywhere. Like people are really shocked here, Rendon was never if even a rumored candidate to begin with.
OK, but you have him under control for two years. You can't make something out of that in the meantime? How is he being good a problem? What am I missing?
