What if we pull a fast one?Red(s)HawksFan said:
We have this player...his name is Mike and his last name is a fish name. I think we both know who I'm talking about. We could do a one-for-one for Miggy. What do you say?
Mike Carp
I've been watching the 9th inning of game 7 instead of the NESN post game on many nights this season. It takes the edge of the anger and disappointment and allows for more restful sleep.sackamano said:
That just seems silly after dealing Lester and Lackey.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, we can't trade that guy!"

Remember (and I love Miller's stuff) this is a 2 month rental (No QO therefore no comp pick) of a 7th or 8th inning reliever, getting one top 100 prospect would be a great return. It would be an absolute killing and taking advantage of the current system if the RS traded and then 3 months later resigned Lester and Miller.

"Lackey? I don't love it, but ok."
"Miller? Now there I have to draw the line!"
From Keith Law
someone likely to provide 200 innings and worth five to six wins above replacement a year, a pace Lester was going to surpass this year. Perhaps they(the Red Sox) can use this prospect depth to make a run at someone such as David Price, who's also under control for next year?
Pretty sure SOSH would melt down if that happened.

Well, Rays, but yeah, that's interesting.
Makes the whole "Sox aren't giving up 2015" thing a bit more interesting.
EDIT: Rays pitched him last night too, instead of protecting him. THE RAYS THINK THEY ARE BIGGER THAN THE TRADE DEADLINE!

Wait, but I posted the text, not the URL. Shouldn't he be able to read that?
I do not see any scenario in which they don't trade all of their top prospects to Andrew Friedman...beast of a deal for Tampa.P'tucket said:
One thing these ex-Sox players can bank...all have been traded to serious playoff and potential WS teams (perhaps even Miller, if that Detroit rumor is true).
Peavy, Lester, Lackey (and maybe more)...
And fuck Doubront.

The Tigers bullpen is a glaring weakness on an otherwise great team. Soria has been awful. I thought Ben would get them to cave on Miller. Good try though.

Jokes about them not existing aside, yeah, pretty miserable existence. Nice prospect hauls and everything but it's hard not to look at them as a team that will always be spinning their wheels in the mud.

Still not as bad a day as Jim Bowden's having.

I should interrupt my media law & ethics final exam and take advantage of this teaching moment. Social media... the gift that keeps giving and giving and giving.Hoplite said:

If they wouldn't give up either for Lester, why would they do it for Miller?
Full credit to the Sox FO -- whether or not you agree with the specific players they're getting, at least they are embracing the tear-down and trying to get as many useful pieces as they can.
How the Phillies have not been selling everything that's not bolted down is beyond me. Maybe there are a lot of moves to come.
