I'm legitimately worried about Boston. They also have a lot more pieces to give if they want to improve more

Nah, the rumour according to Morisi, is they're trying to move Andrus. Yet, in this circumstance Profar or Odor make sense.

Well they just got Masterson too. They are going to be a powerhouse.

Its not going to be a horrible rotation, but I don't see it as that great.

Combined with their lineup, they are shaping up real good this winter.

Looking at their Rotation and our Current one i don't see it being a whole lot better then ours.

Really like the Red Sox moves. Unless the Jays get a 2B and another starter looks like they will be the favourites.

 

Another starter AND 2B.

 

Right now it's

 

1) Sox

2) Jays

3) Orioles

4) Yankees

5) Rays

I mentioned it in the Winter Meetings thread but it's worth talking about. Latos traded to Miami for DeScalfani and Wallach. Seems a pretty poor return.

Latos only has 1 year left and had a pretty poor year with his stuff declining a little. Seems fair to me when you include salary.

They are both areas that the team could get a decent upgrade. SP would allow Sanchez to go to the bullpen and help 2 areas while outside a player who has never played above AA the Jays have garbage at 2B.

Ya, at the deadline they can always trade for a front end starter depending how things shape up. They don't have too many holes at this point. Even the Jays could use a starter, among a 2b, and a closer, and another reliever. Red Sox have enough trade chips to easily get a #1/#2 during the year if they feel they need to. Top to bottom the Sox are pretty solid hitting, and a solid pen, and a very decent rotation.

Boston needs someone for the top of their rotation. If they land Scherzer or Shields, they looks pretty legit:

 

Scherzer

Miley

Porcello

Buccholz

Masterson

 

That's plenty of rotation for what should be an elite lineup.

I will be shocked if Scherzer is not back with the Tigers.

Prepare to be shocked, because the Tigers and Scherzer are no longer discussing a deal as of this morning.

Unless Boston gets an ace pitcher (unlikely now), they're looking at .500 at best. Remember, they traded Cespedes away, depleting some of their offense. Wade Miley and Rick Porcello aren't cutting it in the pitching staff.. they really needed to resign Jon Lester.

You forgot Joe Kelly. And Boston isn't paying $200M for Scherzer.. nor overpaying for Shields, as with the Porcello and Miley deals, they are nearing their payroll limit for 2015. It indicates that Boston will not pay $20M+ for a pitcher, unless it was Jon Lester. When they said they would go over the tax, they likely only meant if it was for Jon Lester, based on these moves.

 

At least Mookie Betts now has a place to play in either CF or RF, unless Cherington decides to give JBJ another chance to fail offensively, even while playing Gold Glove defense.

The guy lost nearly 3mph on his FB and sinker ... he's cooked.

 

Yes. We've seen certain sinkerballers (Webb, Wang, etc.) break down badly in the past to serious injuries and never return the same pitcher, or in Webb's case, didn't return at all.

We don't know why Webb broke down, but it's some scary s***. Guy was on a Hall of Fame pace.

 

I really liked Brandon Webb - great pitcher! It's unfortunate his career ended early.

Welp, comeback season officially confirmed for Masterson now.
