Is there a particular reason Cannon hasn't debuted yet?

I think Wheeler would be a terrific get, but it’s basically guaranteed to be a horrendous trade because of what the Sox will end up sacrificing. Dalbec has no home on the Sox for a while, and with Devers he essentially is redundant and tradable. That said, I could see him being a perennial GG contender hitting .240/.350/.500+ with 30 or more HR, and probably 40+. That’s just way, way too much to sacrifice for a 3-mo rental on a guy who could easily wind up going 3-6, 5.00 and leaving with no compensation. If the Sox could work out a reasonable extension beforehand, I’d feel a little better, but still...their bigger rental trades have almost always been terrible, or at best vaguely regrettable. OTOH, a harnessed Wheeler would be a force. This is incredibly optimistic. A gold glover with 40+ home runs? That is quite a projection for a guy who is not a top 100 prospect. Obviously if that is his future, he is untouchable. I am less confident. If they can get Wheeler for Dalbec, I’m in. Regardless of projections of him, isn't that too much for a rental? Last year, we got Eovaldi for our #6 prospect, straight up. I bring that up because I actually think our current #6 is a good jumping off point for Wheeler. Chatham + a lottery ticket guy could get it done, no? Obviously there are variables at play like how much of the remaining salary DD wants the Mets to eat, and other bidders, that could drive the price up.

The organization could factor into it a bit too. The Angels have a knack for having uber-talented outfielders that don't get the appreciation they deserve. Maybe so but I think James nailed it. For a while, everybody is going to take a backseat to Wander Franco. I say for a while because he's only 18. I think the fact that Adell missed a month and a half probably has something to do with it. The .360 avg is nice but its only been 100PAs.

Is there some nickname that I don't know about or was that a typo (BD)? Bobby Bombs ADD: Keep up, man. It's even in the title.

Boy we better get Vonleh now or I just don't see anyone else that could give us solid minutes. I eventually learned better than to question Danny, but I hope he has a plan for the front court. They need 2 bodies there and one needs to be good. No one on the team is allowed to be more than 3 inches taller than Danny Ainge. Who has to be the one to tell Tacko Fall?

I wonder if that 500,000 could have been used on a reliever for the remainder of the season? Good thing airfare doesn't effect the luxury tax Guess that settles the "cheap owner" discussion.

For everyone bent out of shape because the most likely path for this team at this point is as the 2nd wildcard: since the wildcard game began in 2012, home teams are 6-8 in it.

If I could figure out how to embed gifs, I would embed the one of Woody Harrelson in No Country For Old Men, in cowboy hat and wearing an expression of appalled horror, saying to Anton Chigurrh, "Do you have any idea how crazy you sound?"

I'm sure you will, since you seem incapable of not repeating yourself. I'm sure there will be people that only show up to point this out, like yourself too. So let me get this straight. People repeating that Johnny Gomes is terrible is good, but me pointing out Berman is bad is bad? Sorry dude!! It's actually impressive that you manage to miss the point here. It's not a complicated concept. I have no issue with you saying Berman sucks. I haven't really enjoyed him the last few days either. But posting the exact same sentiment back to back days is the kind of posting tendency that people get sick of. BTW I'm on here every day. Even if you don't see me posting. Want to know why? Because I only post if I feel I have something useful or original to add.

You said this yesterday... I'll say it again tomorrow if he keeps being annoying. I'm sure you will, since you seem incapable of not repeating yourself.

For the record, Fitz is 6mo older than CJ, not younger.

How did we take a trip down memory lane through the 2009 roster without mentioning that was the year of MLB starting SS Nick Green?

Put me on record as not caring about the 5th starter at the moment, considering they don't need one for the next 2 weeks.

Just popping in real quick to make sure we are all clear here that a team that never gets outbid would be very poorly run and probably the laughing stock of the sport.

Notice who gets into these dumb arguments with everyone. Just remember, it's everyone else that is the problem. Maybe I should go troll the game day thread and complain about people bitching about how the teams does or because they Don't like Thornburg. Or how we shouldn't question the teams on a sports chat board. Nah I'll stick to a useful debate on the value of RBs. Have a wonderful day!😘 Define "useful"

Isabella, Zach Allen and Rosen. I'm liking what The King is doing in Arizona. I think I might have to root for them a bit. You realize they just traded Rosen, right?

To answer your previous post, I've seen Fitzgerald and no he shouldn't be promoted. Time for our yearly "one successful month does not mean a player needs to be promoted" chat. Guys need to go around a league multiple times, have pitchers/teams adjust to them, then adjust to the adjustments. For example, I saw Fitzgerald have an 11-game hit streak end on Saturday's second game when he struck out twice and grounded right into a shift 3 times. I'm not sure if other teams are employing the shift Frederick was using, and it's possible the dude just had a bad game, but if all it takes is a shift to stop him right now, he needs to learn how to adjust to that. That's a prime example of what I mean with the adjustments game. For what it's worth, he did look good and caught one scout's eye along with Duran, but there was a sizeable gap between Duran and Fitzgerald for me, and neither looked like they needed to be promoted immediately. When we jump right to "he needs to be promoted" whenever a guy has a little bit of success, it brings down the level of discussion here and makes it matter less when it IS time to have that discussion. Let's try not to jump the gun on these guys. Excitement is good. Being completely unreasonable, not so much. Not buying what you're selling. Miller & Tobias are nothing more then organizational depth not prospects. Move Chatham & Fitzgerald both up and let them continue their development & make their adjustments there.
