Then you trade him in December when 29 teams are interested. Shut him down in the meantime if you're worried about injury. Selling low is the absolute worst thing to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peanut33tillman Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 If we move Crochet, 24 hours ago I would’ve told you we’d be getting a stupid haul. I have no faith in Getz to get a substantial haul however now. I’d guess it’s more like something along lines of Rushing and Outman as the main pieces with a lotto ticket as we throw in potentially a reliever or something. I’m 100% expecting to be disappointed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet Norby, Beavers for Crochet AND Banks. Dude is a shark circling his prey. Would be our worst nightmare and a cheery on top of this s%*# sandwich of a season if Getz blew a major trade like Crochet or Robert Unless you are getting a sky high, clear overpay of a return they should keep him. Force another club to really pony up if they want him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 (edited) You certainly have to hold out for a good return, but don't get cute either. Crochet is really a ticking time bomb and Sox won't have as much leverage in the offseason. Don't let perfect be the enemy of the good here.

Sox should absolutely be “cute” with this move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and their owner, Arnold Johnson, was thrown out of baseball. Probably after the Roger Maris gift package, but I'm not positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirmin' for Yermin Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Getz' MO to me so far seems to be targeting batters with good BB/K ratio's. Everyone in the draft, the most recent trade, Zavala in the Cease trade.. Jones just is soo soo soo far away from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Spencer Jones couldn't have been drafted by a more perfect team than the yankees, has started to struggle, and it makes me incredibly nervous for the yankees to have "softened" on his value. Judge was an outlier, and maybe the yankees found out how to make all that work, but maybe judge is just...an outlier. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
