True. At least until he failed to live up to the PR, and then they would turn on him - much faster than the Pittsburgh fan base did.
-
If he were to get traded to the Yankees, everyone in New York City would make that assertion.

If yinz were to call Gerrit Cole a superstar hall of famer in Pittsburgh, they would laugh at yinz.
-
While Squirrels may hay have some”decent” players available, Winnetka has superstar haa of famers available: Kershaw, Verlander, Arrieta, G Cole, Altuve, Sano, Dozier and many others.

I have some decent players available. Piscotty, Healy, Moreland, Gio Gonzalez (among others). If anyone is interested send an offer my way!
-
Anybody open for business in the last couple weeks before rosters freese. At least 100 players will get cut before the end of the month. Why not shop players you would otherwise cut? Makes the game more interesting.

yeah, sorry about the fake news. Was listening to MLB Radio at work and thought I got some breaking news.

Looks like nothing is final yet, neither club has confirmed anything about a trade.
-
Thank God! I don't even care who the Pirates get.

We have a team that is being abandoned in league 510 ("108 Stitches"). It is a quality roster - finished 2nd last year and they have a strong roster with players like Altuve and Springer at keeper prices. I am a co-commissioner in that league, and I can hold off on abandoning it to make sure we get an active owner. If anybody is interested, please let me know.
-
Thanks! Definitely looking to make some moves and shake things up a bit. Open to moving almost anyone even if they aren't on the block but guys like Harper, Bryant, Correa and to a lesser extent Trout would be tough to move.
-
Welcome to the new owner of Homina Homina!

Homina has been abandoned. So, if you know someone who is looking for a league, have them move fast as I think this team will get scooped up quickly.
-
I have a different view of Bradley. He was an excellent hitter at every level in the minors. He was very good in 2015 and 2016. And I like his defense a lot. At the risk of being fact checked and proven wrong next summer, I will predict that Bradley has a 3.5 to 4 WAR season.
-
Betts would go to CF, he is better than JBJ imo. Puig would go in RF. I don't know how you could like JBJ's offense. If you take away the first half of last year his career OPS would be under .700. That is well below average. As it stands right now it is .725. Watching the NLDS and NLCS Puig was the Dodgers most feared hitter watching as a Cubs fan.

I think Bradley Jr is a fantastic CF. Adding Puig would move Benintendi to CF, and I am not as sold on him defensively as Red Sox fans seem to be. Puig's arm would be less of a benefit in LF at Fenway (Betts is not likely to move to LF). I like Bradley's offense even though he was mediocre at the plate last year. And the Red Sox benefit with another LH hitter mixed in with Hanley, Pedroia, Betts and Boegarts. Add the contract differences, and I would take Bradley over Puig in a straight trade.
-
Yeah I think it's mostly the years of control that gives JBJ the edge. Puig' s ceiling is way higher, and their floors are probably about equal.
-
I would have accepted that trade immediately if I was Dumbrowski. I think Puig’s upside is MVP caliber. JBJ to me is a .750 ops guy and I don’t think his advantage defensively over Puig isn’t nearly as large as everyone else sems to believe. One thing I didn’t realize is that Puig has only one year left until free agency whereas Bradley has four.

Yeah I think JBJ is definitely more valuable. That being said as a Red Sox fan I wouldn't mind getting to watch Puig play every week either, he is very fun to watch.
-
I have no idea how or why news like that gets leaked. Did a front office employee for one of the teams leak it to the press? But assuming it is true, I value Bradley more than Puig for real mlb purposes. Lower salary, left handedness, better defense in CF, and Bradley is a solid hitter despite his down year. I think Sox were smart to keep JBJ.
-
Curious to what you guys think of the Dodgers offering Puig to the Red Sox for J Bradley, and the Red Sox quickly declining.

Well he has returned a pretty good haul every time he has been traded so I would lean more towards that everyone wants him.
-
Calhoun is probably torn between thinking everybody wants him, or everybody wants to get rid of him.
-
I believe Willie Calhoun has now landed on 4 different teams this offseason.

Hosmer is the epitome of overrated. Somebody is likely to pay him a fortune and spend the next 5 to 7 years regretting their bad decision. When Moreland is healthy, he is a decent defensive 1B with a decent bat. The other thing with Moreland is that at $7M/year, if a better option comes along the Sox can either trade Moreland or bench him without too much worry.
-
I think Hosmer is vastly overrated. All the baseball media love him for some reason. A career .781 ops coming off a career year that just happens to be the last before becoming a free agent.
I also hope the Cubs do not sign Darvish.

Well the part of me that is a Red Sox fan is actually glad we signed Moreland instead of Hosmer to a huge terrible contract. The part of me that owns Hosmer is sad he won't be playing in Boston.

As a Pirates fan, I very badly want Adams and Frazier over Cole. I absolutely H.A.T.E. Gerrit Cole.
-
I know I’m in the minority in thinking this, but I value Adams and Frazier way more than Torres.

If the Pirates get Clint Frazier and Chance Adams for Gerrit Cole, I say very well done for the Pirates!

Oops, I meant Hoskins added a few years of OF eligibility ( not 1B). Been enjoying a few cocktails in Le Quebec!
-
That does probably hurt one of the Nimrods OF though, unless there is a trade I bet Nick Williams and Aaron Altherr platoon most of the time.
-
The Mighty Nimrods plan on punting defense entirely and playing Rhys at CF this year. :)
