flavum Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Tanaka will win it. Also neither are rookies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 If Tanaka wins 20 and Abreu hits 50, you'll see a real interesting debate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa1334 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 im kind of torn between the two because i always think a player that plays everyday has more value than a pitcher playing once a week(just my opinion, for example i rather have trout than kershaw) but at the same time tanaka hasnt struggled at all while abreu has and got hurt. if i were to guess, id say tanaka too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I also think where the teams end up at the end of season will play into it. If the Sox sneak into the playoffs because of Abreus bat, there will be quite a discussion about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 02:12 PM) No doubt about it...Tanaka is ROY if he puts up those numbers. Not even close to me. If Tanaka ends the season with a 2.02 ERA and 25 wins, he is winning the ROY, CY, and MVP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 12:39 PM) If Tanaka ends the season with a 2.02 ERA and 25 wins, he is winning the ROY, CY, and MVP. Exactly; Strong ERA, great K numbers, etc. Add in 25 wins, which we all know isn't fully controlled by a pitcher, but it still is a strong statement. Plus hasn't it been since the late 80's since someone won that many? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan49 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 If Tanaka wins 23 and his ERA is almost below 2 (2.02), he will win the Cy Young and ROY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostfan Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Let's say that, in some hypothetical world, the Sox managed to land Tanaka last offseason in addition to Abreu - where would we be right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreeing with the people that say first. Sale - Tanaka - Quintana at the front of the rotation, a serviceable Noesi and Danks. Bullpen is likely taxed less. The ultimate "coulda been" rotation: Sale - Tanaka - Rodon - Quintana - Montas/Danish/Adams/Beck/EJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ultimate "coulda been" rotation: Sale - Tanaka - Rodon - Quintana - Montas/Danish/Adams/Beck/EJ I kind of disagree with this. We would not have made the move and taken a risk on Paulino. That would have left the rotation starting the year as Sale - Q - Tanaka - Danks - Johnson. It would have meant that when we sent EJ down, we'd have brought Rienzo up and kept him. When Sale went on the DL, we'd have still went with Carroll. If we had Tanaka, I honestly don't believe that we would have went for Noesi.
