Orlando Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 Take it for what it’s worth but Bruce says he really believes the Sox will sign someone (SP) BEFORE the meetings. Says the Sox don’t wanna take this into the winter meetings and get caught up in the “atmosphere” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cashman Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Pretty much sounded like they can't play with the big boys in FA. Just my opinion in how he is talking about FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cashman Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 This system is too top heavy for them to make any trades. When Robert, Madrigal, and Vaughn come up, they really don't have anything down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 It sounded good, all the right buzzwords, the slight tone of condescension, but said nothing. i.e. the usual Hahn interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox are not know to develop players. All that I mentioned were highly regarded. The only one I might think would develop and I am interested in is Basabe. Steele Walker doesn't excite me, Sheets doesn't excite me, Adolfo doesn't excite me, and Rutherford doesn't excite me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He or MadBum may make the most sense since we really need a LH starter especially w Rodon still out for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that requires development and as that Driveline study last year showed, we were far and away the worst organization at developing players.

But guys like Dunning, Foster, Flores and Lambert were all added to 40 man so they must "excite" the FO some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree but Anderson, Moncada and Eloy have shown to be solid additions and we shall see w Vaughn, Robert and Madrigal. If we get 5 or 6 that is pretty good production even if a couple got partial development elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah, but the point is the pipeline to trade from likely won't develop because we no longer will be picking at the top of the draft or trading useful major leaguers away.

Gotta get excited about a guy that has 62IP above A ball at 23yrs old and coming off TJ, a Soon to be 25yr old with almost 100IP above A ball, and a 25yr old with less than 100IP above A ball.

35thstreetswarm Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Takeaway: Sox plan to do good things that make sense. If things make sense when taking many factors into account, they’ll do them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) Pretty much as expected. The only part I thought was interesting was when Rick said some agents have a buy it now price. I was thinking it was too bad RAy Ray wasn't around to correct him. I did think Bruce's little nugget at the end with the quick signing was interesting, and I do agree it seemed like it was Ryu he was hinting at. Especially after they quizzed Hahn on Grandal perhaps endorsing Ryu and Hahn implying he had.
