Nationals were supposed to get him so obviously the White Sox were blown away with what Boston offered. Moncada supposedly has the most power from any infielder you'll ever see.

Bad day for Rizzo. He wanted a Scherzer, Sale and Strasburg rotation. Now he has to switch gears. Back-to-back winters the Red Sox land the big lefty starter.
Moncada is a 21 year old future star that can play third or second. White Sox got an outstanding return, but Sale's contract and abilities make it a great deal for the Red Sox.

That will go to +700 within days. +1200 is great value.

Not if they dont win and with futures this far out its impossible to get protection.
If Sox start slow youre likely to see +500 or more as deep as the All Star Break, if they suck youll see more than 1200, THEN you can decide what you want to do. Pre season odds in MLB are notoriously horrible. The Cubs were more DURING the World Series than at any time last year.

Wow, the mental make up of David Price and Chris Sale... still seems like a playoff weakness to me.

Need to research the angle but I was told by a baseball devotee that tall lefties (6-5 or taller) perform well at Fenway Park.
I believe Bill James researched the angle.

James and his younger colleagues stayed in the office until after 1 a.m. that night, determined, he said the next day, to “work the problem to death.” One option was to acquire a particular tall left-handed pitcher who was said to be available. Someone had floated the theory that tall lefties were apt to be unusually effective at Fenway, where a ball being released from high off the right side of the pitcher’s mound would be obscured by the backdrop of fans’ T-shirts in the right-center-field bleachers, thus delaying batters’ reactions for a vital split second. Epstein asked James to check it out, so he did what he does better than anyone else—he devised a quick study. He identified thirty-six lefties, going back to 1987, who had won at least one game in the American League, and who were six feet five or taller. Of those, perhaps twenty-five had pitched in Fenway. He then compared those pitchers’ performances in the park and away from it—and concluded, alas, that there was insufficient evidence to support the theory. Another myth debunked. Oh, well.

Drew Pomeranz is 6'5 and sucked donkey balls @ Fenway last season....6.48 ERA in 28IP. Maybe pitching injured tho...
