Yeah somewhere between the end of the WS in 05 and ST 06 his arm fell off. His last fastball thrown in the 05 WS was 94 mph. Then he came out of ST in 06 throwing 85-86.

He's still out there and the Sox haven't committed another huge contract yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances for Harper are considerably lower than for Machado I would say. Sox are still monitoring Harper's market, but I would not expect them to meet absurd contract demands Boras will have.

Sockin Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) The Harper/Philly stuff is legitimately scaring me now. If the Phillies think they have a good shot at Bryce and they hired Manny's mentor yesterday it says to me they want both. I hope waiting this out with a low to mid 200s offer doesn't come back to bite them in the ass. Edited January 11, 2019 by Sockin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Man I'll be so mad if the mentor lands him. That's a way more efficient way to build favor than actually using two roster spots on friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that is correct but everything that we have heard from the big gun reporters is that the Sox are very much a long shot with Harper. Even not as interested in him as they are MM. Heyman barely included the Sox in the conversation for Harper this morning on Mully and Haugh. It could all be inaccurate though so we shall see.

FT35 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Anyone else think the Sox are focusing more on Machado over Harper because they know Boras will wait till Machado signs before he lets Harper sign? I think if we sign Machado, we'll still test the market on Bryce, but our decision makers know that Harper is essentially "locked" till Machado signs because of Boras' games. That's why we aren't hearing as much about the Sox interest in Harper--or at least without mentioning our interest in Machado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(assuming the money is equal) I can't comment on other teams but I know the Sox and Harper have been in contact frequently. Manny will probably come to an agreement 1st with a team but don't think for a second that Sox are out for Harper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) So DJ at 2B, Gleyber at SS, Tulo shifted to 3B or utility role? Or DJ to 3B? The DH spot is pretty open too. Edited January 11, 2019 by soxfan2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) I'm still operating under the idea that Tulo shouldn't be blocking anyone (as we all should). Edited January 11, 2019 by soxfan2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy Harold Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 1 minute ago, Tony said: It doesn't eliminate them from Manny, but it helps the Sox it would seems. True, but it really bunches up the IF group. Andujar, Tulo, Gleyber, now LeMahieu (Bird & Voit I'm guessing at 1B)...whenever Didi gets back...that's crowded.

Bob Sacamano Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Just read hes going to be used at the corners and 2B. No faith in the quad-A duo of Bird and Voit I guess. Edited January 11, 2019 by soxfan2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
