If they turned down our package, a package of those 3 above likely wont get it done. The M's, rightfully so, want a Herschel Walker kind of deal. They'll get more realistic prior to his final contract season
    I remember seeing Bradley and Bogaerts and Barnes in the top 50 mid-season. Maybe theyd like those more then your top 3 prospects. Either way im personally against them trading 1 of them let alone all 3

    From CBS Sportsline:

    Matt Barnes, SP, BOS
    News: Red Sox pitching prospect Matt Barnes is battling through some adversity at Class A Salem. The 2011 first-round pick ran his winless streak to four starts (0-2) with a loss Saturday. Barnes is 0-2 with a 10.13 ERA in four starts since the second half kicked off in the Carolina League. He was 5-1 with a 1.37 ERA in his first eight starts for Salem.
    Analysis: Barnes was cruising before the Carolina League All-Star break, which included a 2-0 record and 0.34 ERA in five starts for low Class A Greenville. However, this should be a good test for Barnes. Let's see how he handles the adversity. Despite his recent struggles, Barnes has had a productive year in the minors. He has 105 strikeouts to just 19 walks in 86 innings. He also has a .211 opponents' batting average. He has the chance to move quickly through the minors after coming out of college as a polished pitcher. Barnes has emerged as a viable long-term Fantasy keeper.

    He's had a solid season up to this point. Great start, mediocre middle of the season. Hopefully he can finish strong and possibly start AA next year

    His has start 1 run in 5. That's already a bounce back.

    Re: Matt Barnes Thread

    interesting article here, check out our farm system from 2005 that was rock solid....

    http://www.providencejournal.com/spo...arm-system.ece


    2011
    4. Anthony Ranaudo
    8. Matt Barnes
    Ranaudo has endured a lost season thanks to shoulder issues, and significant questions have followed about his ability to pitch in the major leagues.
    2010
    1. Casey Kelly
    4. Anthony Ranaudo
    5. Drake Britton
    8. Felix Doubront
    9. Stolmy Pimentel
    Doubront has been one of the most encouraging developments for the Red Sox this season, making 22 starts and striking out 119 hitters in 1222/3 innings. After rough seasons a year ago, Britton and Pimentel have bounced back, but it’s uncertain whether either can be a starting pitcher in the major leagues.
    2009
    2. Casey Kelly
    6. Junichi Tazawa
    Kelly was traded to San Diego in the first Gonzalez deal. Tazawa has been a reliever all season and likely will be a reliever for the rest of his career.
    2008
    2. Michael Bowden
    3. Nick Hagadone
    4. Daniel Bard
    6. Casey Kelly
    10. Stolmy Pimentel
    Bowden is among the most disappointing prospects in recent memory, dominating as a starter and a reliever at Triple-A Pawtucket but never panning out in the majors.
    2007
    1. Clay Buchholz
    4. Justin Masterson
    7. Michael Bowden
    8. Nick Hagadone
    Before Doubront this season — and Doubront hasn’t exactly lit the world on fire — Buchholz was the last capable major-league starter the Red Sox produced from their farm system.
    2006
    2. Clay Buchholz
    3. Michael Bowden
    4. Daniel Bard
    7. Bryce Cox
    8. Craig Hansen
    9. Kris Johnson
    Johnson likewise was a tremendous disappointment, a supplemental-first-round pick who washed out at Triple A.
    2005
    2. Jon Lester
    3. Jonathan Papelbon
    4. Craig Hansen
    8. Manny Delcarmen
    10. Clay Buchholz
    Lester, Papelbon, Buchholz — and even Delcarmen, who was a useful bullpen piece for several years. That’s what the Red Sox are trying to get back to.

    Watched Barnes play at UConn, he throws gas. Can't wait to see him with the Sox one day.

    It's worth noting that Lester and Delcarmen were not drafted by Theo.

    Mike Port was the interim GM between Duquette (fired March 2002) and Theo (hired November 2002)
