Nah. Wouldn’t do it. Clevinger isn’t as young as you think he is, and I don’t want to see Vaughn kick our ass for a decade on a division rival. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pal Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Pretty much a lurker for a couple years. Merry Christmas gang! Sox life is looking good for the next decade. Patience has paid off! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thxfrthmmrs Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Just now, Dickie Kerr said: Nah. Wouldn’t do it. Clevinger isn’t as young as you think he is, and I don’t want to see Vaughn kick our ass for a decade on a division rival. Fully aware of his age, but he has low mileage on his arm and will still be in his prime when he hits free agency. Unfortunately with cost of elite starting pitching through the roof, that's the price you have to pay. The inclination against divisional trade is real though, Indians also do not want to trade us Clevinger. Also I just realized Dunning will not be ready by the start of season, so it going to cost us other prospects we don't want to part with.

Drwhoo1 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 SMH. We finally have good prospects and some want to trade them. Not 1 but let’s group 2 or 3 of them together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not 1 but let’s group 2 or 3 of them together. It's still really TOP-loaded right now. While we're currently at #5, we will quickly be losing Robert, Madrigal and Kopech to eligibility issues for those rankings as they move on to Chicago. We had ten major injuries last year (including Rodon), so the hope is that we can rebound enough to be a mid-teens organization by the end of the season (hoping for progress from Vaughn, Dunning, Stiever, Thompson, Dahlquist and one of the four outfielders still in the system.)

caulfield12 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Platoon for Mazara, defensive replacement for Jimenez, PR...essentially, taking Adam Engel's spot on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneofthemikes Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 A couple pages ago somebody said that they were excited at the possibility of Encarnacion working with Mazara on his launch angle. Do we have any reason to think that’s the case? I mean, it’d be awesome but does he have any history of actively being a mentor to younger guys? Have other teams that he’s been on shown launch angle improvements as a result of his being there? Just curious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Seems like Pillar has hit the decline phase defensively and Engel is basically the Jesus Christ of outfield defense so I'm not too high on a Pillar move. I'd rather go for a stronger-hitting corner OF for a platoon guy for Mazara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Michael 1 hour ago The Sox have spent a lot of money on a catcher who is older, a pitcher in Gio who’s career is over, and now a part time first baseman who is pretty much done, I’d say we haven’t done much so far in this off season.

For those of us that have endured the Reinsdorf Group and their 5 playoff appearences in 38 years and none in the last 11, ever eating crow is a non-event. $120 million is chump change. Keep it moving. And they should be in the hunt for Mookie and a host of others next off-season. Stop making excuses for them. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
