GreenSox Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) That comp balance pick is a nice fit with a trade for a rent, as it somewhat offsets the QO pick the other team will lose. Can't just deal prospects for Puig. Gotta throw a vet in there like Shark and Avi so as to not loot the farm system. Or better yet, don't trade for him.

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 @jaysonst: Third club in #Dodgers-#Marlins believed to be a team that winds up with Michael Morse. He has no apparent fit on the Dodgers roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless, we are a 3rd team and whomever has the target the Dodgers want, isn't interested in Puig and would prefer prospects (no idea why, but you never know).

He has no apparent fit on the Dodgers roster. He has no apparent fit on anyone's roster for what he is getting paid, so I have no idea who the 3rd team could possibly be and I would have to think Dodgers are sending cash then (to get rid of Morse) or are taking on someone else's contract.

Call up EJ and Micah, DH Micah and Morse takes Bonifacio's place of never playing on the bench. Edit: And then we don't have a 5th starter so I'll shut up.

caulfield12 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 02:12 PM) Montas is ready to be the Brandon McCarthy 2005 version ten years later. Brandon really saved the Sox with a handful of starts that year, especially memorable was one against the Red Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though it brings excitement, I still struggle with the concept of the 1 game playoff. Given how long of a season baseball is, seems so arbitrary and punitive to the team that put in all that work and only gets to play 1 game. From a pure entertainment perspective though, clearly exciting and that excitement does a great job kicking off the post-season (especially the way the Royals won that playoff last year).

I think that is one of the greatest things about it. It puts a lot more value in winning your division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 The Royals went from dead in the WC game to game 7 of the World Series. It's great. I hope we sneak in. No team will be thrilled with facing Sale in a one game playoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second one basically fixes that by forcing the one and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does devalue the 162-game season, which needs to be shortened to be taken seriously. However I'll take the 2WC format over the old format every day.

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 It's bizarre @JoeFrisaro: One theory is #Dodgers got Morse to block #SFGiants from landing him. Now, LA appears trying to move him. #Marlins standing by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigruss Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Why would anyone really be worried about blocking Morse to anywhere? He's been straight garbage and has a fair amount of money left on his deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
