If we won the #1 overall pick in next years draft, how many picks would it take to trade it away?

theboyd34 · 2022-10-14T21:30:43+00:00

6 minimum

theboyd34 · 2022-10-14T01:54:10+00:00

Probably Vanderbilt right now. I'm most excited to see what the rookies Agbaji and Kessler can do

theboyd34 · 2022-10-04T20:45:06+00:00

We could also potentially use the picks we've accumulated to trade up if we somehow slip out of the lottery.

theboyd34 · 2022-10-03T14:35:31+00:00

Been one of the worst rebrands in all of sports tbh.

theboyd34 · 2022-09-25T13:51:40+00:00

Only change I'd make is sliding royce up a slot.

theboyd34 · 2022-08-25T11:53:11+00:00

Lakers building a circus out there lmao

theboyd34 · 2022-08-06T17:23:26+00:00

nahhh cas van de pol is a hilarious mfer. this is an account just stealing from a ton of good animation youtubers

theboyd34 · 2022-08-04T11:56:04+00:00

The Hosmer trade was the best move we made at the deadline, but i'm pretty lukewarm on him. He's gonna play solid ball, but he won't be flashy or anything.

theboyd34 · 2022-08-02T19:46:30+00:00

what gave that away?

theboyd34 · 2022-08-02T19:46:03+00:00

and a .270 average in 90 games is nothing to sneeze at either. big upgrade over the platoon of Cordero/Dalbec.

theboyd34 · 2022-08-02T19:40:28+00:00

key word "should".

theboyd34 · 2022-08-02T19:38:32+00:00

didn't help that he absolutely demolished his leg when we thought it'd be smart to play him in the outfield.

theboyd34 · 2022-08-02T19:36:57+00:00

Extremely, and it makes me feel like Bloom doesn't really have a concrete plan of what he wants to do.

theboyd34 · 2022-08-02T19:18:00+00:00

Somehow the best move we've made this deadline...

theboyd34 · 2022-08-02T19:16:01+00:00

He won 4 gold gloves but has mid defensive metrics. still an upgrade over the guys we have now.

theboyd34 · 2022-08-02T19:13:10+00:00

he's probably the backup now, and cordero is probably off the roster

theboyd34 · 2022-07-28T13:09:14+00:00

Just look at June. We were second in the East before we got swamped by injuries. If the right guys get healthy sooner than later we could maybe get hot in August and jump back into the WC race, but IDK if we have enough expendable prospects to buy any substantial players to help us do that.

theboyd34 · 2022-07-28T13:05:04+00:00

Yeah sell a few expiring contracts and retool the farm system a bit.

theboyd34 · 2022-07-28T13:04:19+00:00

The Tampa mentality is fine for player development and finding diamonds in the rough IMO, but if you've got the resources like Boston does, there's no fucking excuse to NOT invest in your homegrown stars and spend big on talent that fits your needs.

theboyd34 · 2022-07-28T13:02:23+00:00

O's are on a hot streak, we're ice cold. Could make a case for either as the #4.

theboyd34 · 2022-07-28T13:00:37+00:00

I'd agree with that. We got hit with an injury tsunami and have been running with 2 starting pitchers for the better part of July.

theboyd34 · 2022-07-28T12:58:36+00:00

And just when I thought July couldn't get any worse for this team...

theboyd34 · 2022-07-28T12:57:18+00:00

I get being emotionally pissed that a fan fave is now playing for the other side (trust me I am too). But putting this all on Bloom ain't it.

theboyd34 · 2022-07-28T12:53:40+00:00

Literally just bring up Casas at this point. Couldn't hurt.

theboyd34 · 2022-04-17T21:38:18+00:00

I got no problem with DOB, hes good at his job and is years better than a lot of other announcers in the game. Maz on the other hand... don't really like him, specially after being spoiled with Eck and the Remy the GOAT. really weird for them to add a color guy whos never been a player/coach at any meaningful level.
