guys there is really no reason to aruge, debate, or even speculate what the sox say to boldt. They know much better than us what works and what doesnt and im sure they do they're best, leave it at that.

If we are able to trade him then we will have enough cap space to hopefully sign horton.

I know this is coming shortly after a heartbreaking loss but lots of rumors about trading seguin for a top pick or prospect to save some cash. This would hopefully let us sign horton and get a guy like seth jones or mckinnon. Thoughts?

An inning eater is somebody who can consistently give 5-6 innings giving up 3-4 runs. Id say a guy a little worse than lackey but the same kind of pitcher is an "innings eater". Hes averaging 5.8 innings per game and 2 runs per game (this would be like 3 or 4 for the typical inning eater) and a guy with good command who pitches to contact. That still sounds like better than an #3 to me, too. 2 runs a game and can give you 6 innings? That's a 3.10 ERA. You have an extra that or two and half a clue at the trade deadline you're gonna reap some serious goodies. Or do you mean someone like Felix Doubront? dude... read my comment again.. i said if he gave up a run or two more hed be a solid 5th. The # of innings he goes per game is right but he gives up too few runs to be a solid #5. Im saying go 5.8 innings and give up around 3 runs per game. thats a mid 4 ERA

7 innings and a chance to win the game sounds like a very good #3 starter or better to me. Better. Think about it: averaging 7 IP is saying that for every game you go just 5 ip, you throw a 9-inning CG. And this in a time where the league-leaders in CG right now are Wainwright and Zimmermann with 3. An inning eater is somebody who can consistently give 5-6 innings giving up 3-4 runs. Id say a guy a little worse than lackey but the same kind of pitcher is an "innings eater". Hes averaging 5.8 innings per game and 2 runs per game (this would be like 3 or 4 for the typical inning eater) and a guy with good command who pitches to contact.

Ball at 8? i wouldve said he was ahead of rubby for sure. Much higher ceiling even if he is far away. Any predictions for denney? i say #13 after workman but before marrero, possibly 14

So with Denney and Ball signed where do they fit in the top 20? I'm going Ball at #6 right behind Rubby ...........oops I mean right behind Barnes. and Denney at lucky 13 I'm going Ball at #7 before Rubby behind Ranaudo. Can't decide for denney between 11 (after brentz before workman) 12(after workman before marrero) and 13 (afrer marrero before britton) I'll go 12 cause marrero doesnt have nearly as much potential

Most teams used to pick best player available or close to it until now. Now there are tons of first second and third round talents falling to late rounds. So Boldt wants 2 million. Most signability guys are around there, maybe a little less. So to get 10 boldt guys would only be 20 mil. We spent 40 for 3 years of dempster and we spend 20m for 10 guys who would each have like 5 years of cheap contracts if they make the majors. We lose 2 draft picks but they are late first anyway and we get plenty of guys to more than make up for it With a 100% tax on the amount spent over the pool, it becomes closer to $33m, and that's a lot to spend on a bunch of lottery tickets. Again, remember that even under the old CBA, when a team could literally spend as much as it wanted with only a disapproving look from Selig (and the other owners) to show for it, the Red Sox never spent more than $10-ish million, and most other teams spent much less than that as well (exception: when the Pirates spent $8m on Cole and $5m on Bell in the last uncapped year). What makes you think they're going to start now? The front office obviously has a number it's willing to pay for amateur talent based purely on the projected value of that talent, and even in the old system, they wouldn't pay a guy more than they thought he was worth. Plus, as I alluded to above, spending like a drunken sailor isn't going to make you many friends in the Commissioner's Office or at the owner's meetings, which may be enough of a sanction on its own to discourage that sort of thing. Thats true but not as much talent fell in the old drafts. Teams werent drafting guys so they can save money for later rounds and passing on the expensive guys. Before teh CBA boldt wouldve been taken much much earlier. Now those types of guys are falling so we could get alot of them. For a team with plenty of money like sox or yankees it seems smart. Would you rather have 10ish 2nd 3rd or 4th round talents as well as plenty more 5-10 round talents or 2 late firsts and a guy like dempster in FA. You do make a good point though about the Comish

Alright this is a little off topic but i've been thinking, for a team like the sox yankees etc. big market teams usually picking in the late first round. Why not take best player available and sign them all lose 2 firsts and a fair amount of money? We could get like 10 guys like boldt and just lose money and draft picks. I might be missing something in the rules but this seems like a really good idea. All the signability question guys would be ours. They didn't even do this under the old uncapped system. Given how uncertain prospect development is, even a big market team like the Red Sox isn't willing to just drop millions and millions on high-risk assets, especially when it'll be taxed and hurt their draft pool in following years. Most teams used to pick best player available or close to it until now. Now there are tons of first second and third round talents falling to late rounds. So Boldt wants 2 million. Most signability guys are around there, maybe a little less. So to get 10 boldt guys would only be 20 mil.

Why is Fields ranked in the mid-fifties as a prospect? He has been lights out this year and looks like he could be a legitimate late inning reliever.
