Yeah.  With Rendon aboard, there really wasn't going to be much of an opportunity for Ward moving forward.  He's basically been occupying 3B/LF, neither too well at all.

Relax. Nothing is fucked here.

Yeah Bob isn't making much sense, since Ward isnt even a prospect

And I’m just asking: Does that make sense to you (that Boston is utterly clueless as opposed to something legitimate coming up in medical records that makes Graterol’s long term projections significantly less than those who can’t see said records might believe)?

Here is the thing.  I don't think that Boston is utterly clueless.  I think they have a plan. 

My bigger question is why are they trading Betts?  They are getting roasted everywhere for trading him.  Even the Angels found a way no matter what to keep Trout.  So why is Boston trading Betts?  Money?  I don't buy it, they are a huge market team.  And the only thing that makes any kind of conspiracy sense is that Boston knows something everyone else doesn't.  And that something is happening in Houston.  The accusations are that Boston cheated their way to the 2018 WS.  Coincidentally, that is when Betts went from a .800 OPS hitter to a 1.000 OPS hitter.  His MLB career has been .812, .820, .897, .803 OPS then 1.078 and .915 OPS.  

So I guess we'll see in 2020 if he turns back into a .800 hitter, or continues to be a .900+ hitter.  It'll also be interesting to see if he signs a long term huge contract before the season starts.  Because if he signs that huge contract, and it turns out he is only a .800 OPS hitter, the Dogs are going to get hosed.  Which is also acceptable.

Maybe Mymerlincat is busy, and out of respect, all teams are holding off.

I didn't realize Ward is already 26-yrs old. 

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that he isn't going to mash anywhere (other than AAA)

4.5 MiLB seasons plus 4 college seasons and still limited MLB experience = not exactly the greatest of resumes.

Seems like yesterday the Angels draft room was cheering like they just drafted Mike Trout 2.0, only to not have him stick at Catcher when his defense was touted over his bat. What an epic fail. 

Its because they knew they were going to flip him for pederson in like 8 years.

Sometimes we dont give Dipo enough credit.

We don't have to give him credit, he gives himself plenty of credit.

At least you could look at this whole thing objectively.... because it is a detached garage!
