Always take the BPA, no matter what.

Why would the Sox even entertain the idea of trading Moncada? Has to be one of the most assets in the game.

Lisle wasn’t making much of a impact as he was bouncing from affiliate to affiliate. Was firing him the way to go now, they should’ve given him a stable post. I wouldn’t be mad if they hired Frank Menechino. He seems to be able to tap into guys’ power.

I’d pull him. I know it’s the last game but I wouldn’t risk it.

I think abandoning teachers is the wrong way to go. They need guys at every position on the coaching staff who excel at player development to help get the most out of the guys on the roster. I know they’re close to having their window fully open as they head towards contention but they can not afford to put player development on the back burner when teams like the Dodgers and Astros emphasize it.

I expect Steverson and Sparks to be gone but wouldn’t be surprised if Steverson stays with the org as a roving instructor of some sorts, he could be valuable in that role.

Based on the improvements that Anderson and Moncada made, maybe there’s still a place in the org for them.

I don’t expect Severson or Sparks to be back with the ML team.

A good thing about all the young guys (who matter) playing well is that it makes the team a much more desirable FA destination. It still comes down to the money though

Good move by the Sox. I’ve ever seen someone make a turn around like Giolito did this year in any sport. I hope the Sox really explore locking him up long term And yeah, I’d shut down Cease as well. He’s around 125+ IP for the year. He had 124 IP last year.

Relievers are so volatile, you never know what you’re going to get year to year.

Instead of letting him out the door, why not assign him to Winston Salem or Charlotte?

What? He’s very anti-analytics.

I wouldn’t want DD leading my team’s baseball ops dept if I were an owner. His willingness to trade top prospects and his reluctance to analytics would eliminate him from consideration but he would still be someone that I’d want contributing to team in some way, I’d still want his opinions on players and free agents. He may very well feel that being a special assistant is beneath him.

Thanks. I thought that he’d be close to a 30/30 season.

Anyone know what Tim’s stats would be on a 162 game pace? Can I find that out on Fangraphs?

What the hell is happening in Boston?

Was really hoping for Adell to fall to the Sox in 2017.

I don’t mind the new scouting director being an inside hire, with the post being open for almost two months, it seems like they did some searching around the league.

You have Madrigal, who’s going to be your long term second baseman waiting in the wings. I predict that the sox will lock him up to a long term extension in spring training and he’s with the club on OD. You have Mendick who offers more position flexibility and is a cheaper option. I don’t see a a 2020 team with Yolmer on it.

Yolmer, a non tender?

I could also care less about defense for a first baseman. Yeah, I’d want a plus defender out there like Matt Olson or Evan White now or Darrick Barton ten years ago but that’s rare.

That is not a big deal

Can someone explain Skole batting over Eloy?
