Think you're missing the point. I showed where you speculated he had Sale's trade value, which did not occur. Plus as others have pointed out, you missed your assessment as well with what prospects he would bring back.
So I fail to see how I'm wrong. All you've done is overrate Quintana...
You legit said Quintana would bring in a Sale haul. Which didn't happen.
And Jimenez is a very comparable prospect to Devers. Baseball America has them at 5 and 6 respectively.
In other words, he's #12 in your opinion.
If I'm forking over two top 50 prospects plus more, I'm hoping at the very least the pitcher has a FIP below 4.00. Even with past success.
When you got the resources like the Sox, you can also rebuild pretty quickly. We grabbed a couple of the top international amateur free agents.
Plus as dumb as the Pomeranz trade was, Anderson has yet to pitch this year. The kid is tommy john surgery waiting to happen.
I think we will...
So Henry Owens got demoted to AA. First appearance, he walks 6 of 8 batters and then gets yanked in the first inning.
How does one walk 6 of 8 batters?
