flavum Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 Jimenez and Moncada are going to be superstar players. I really believe that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillian Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) I hope that didn't sound like sour grapes. I love the trades and also believe in our future. It's just that it struck me as though it seemed surprising to some how good Moncada and Jimenez might become. To the contrary, I think that the front office is counting on that.

FWIW, I don't think they have to be superstars for the Sox to get what they needed out of those trades. Sox want not just good play (which is what the players they lost will give any team) but they need it at a particular time and a particular price. If the Sox weren't going to be good until 2019, then you'd be starting to get good right as your superstars are about to depart in free agency. With how things are shaping up now, Sox may have the players they got back hitting their stride and under control for many years at that point. Likewise, by 2019 or 2020 we could plausibly sign Sale or Quintana if that's what we needed to put us over the top. And of course there's the other players to consider as well. While I think having ten 1 WAR is not the equivalent of having one 10 WAR player, there's something to be said for having a glut of average to above average players rather than a couple of really good ones.

Lillian Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Eloy would be the youngest player on the Baron's roster, but so what? He'd probably be the best, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
