Steele Walker isn't good at this point. 2 years and possible extension of good player who was an elite prospect is better than 6 cheap years of a long shot.

You realize that the extension argument is extra silly since it is also possible to "Sign guys as free agents"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not making any argument. I'm just saying we shouldn't be upset we traded for Mazara IF he turns out to be real good. Those two years would be more valuable than 6 from Walker. It would also mean for 2 years we have a top 5 lineup in the AL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t think it’s possible that Walker becomes a sub-.800 OPS guy in the majors, just like Mazara? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The premise here is IF Mazara becomes worthy of an extension. I don't like him that much, but that was the debate. If he in fact becomes that good, then yes it would be better for us than having Walker for 6 years. Especially if we extend him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofaRoache Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Good news that the Twins didn't get a quality number 3 starter. I doubt Gatorade will be tradeable now after all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure its possible. He was a sub 800 OPS guy at A+; though, so did Mazara, when he was 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Does NOT St*ve read this board and then just throw shit out on Twitter? Not sure what Maeda does for the Sox at this point vs what would have to given up. Same goes for Joc if his previous cost was Bummer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it obvious that the Sox would give up Gio Gonzalez thus having had him 3 times without ever playing for the Sox ? ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
