Because our best pitchers were at Rome, where they had an ERA of about 0.4 for the playoffs.

We very cleverly brought in three dudes with short-term contracts who should make us respectable in 2017. Then, we deal them at the deadline for more prospects.

As much as we've butchered this, the past handful of moves have all been smart.

Responses:

and you have 2 prospects ranked in the top 50, with Newcomb at 37 and Albies at 12? -- nm - groiny Dec 2, 07:46 9
- That's the problem with prospects lists. We just theoretically traded for Seattle's #1 player. - David Dec 2, 07:51 8
  - it is whichever prospect list is on mlb.com app - groiny Dec 2, 07:54 7
    - Okay, that's one they'll update in February. - David Dec 2, 08:08 6
      - and all that being said, I have no idea why they would be in the market for Sale right now. -- nm - groiny Dec 2, 08:11 3
        
        You can never have too much pitching. - Will Hunting Dec 2, 08:13 2
        
        I get that, but they are not likely gonna win anything until 2018 at the earliest. -- nm - groiny Dec 2, 08:16 1
        
        I was taking why Boston would be in the market -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 08:30
      - I like Newcomb and Anderson, Maitan, but they are all at least 2 years away. - groiny Dec 2, 08:10 1
        
        Allard was the best high school pitcher in last year's draft by a fairly decent amount, but he hurt his back about two months before the draft. - David Dec 2, 08:30
