gawd forbird JH would actually have to spend some money. it's not like he's a billionaire or anything.

Don't kid yourself. The fans pay those salaries, not John Henry.

No, it’ll be some out of the box bullshit that you will try to tie yourself in knots to justify at some point.

I know it's coming.

I just wish we'd make a strong pivot from quantity to quality.

We have a pretty solid foundation and some young talent as well.

We don't need to divide whatever the budget is by 5-6.

We need to divide by 2-3 and get talent.

What's not spent of the fans money on salaries goes into the owners' pockets.

Sorry, best I can do is one starter and 3 DH’s! - Chaim

DDDHHH... now that makes sense.

LOL.

Duvall is a better defender than Duran, Ref and Yoshida- maybe Dugo, too.

Turner can back up 1B and 3B, but I get the point.

Give me two solid SP'ers and nothing else, and we'll be better than 1 SP and _____.

Duvall is not better defensively than Dugo. In fact, Duvall misplayed a fly ball last night that almost hit him in the ass.

I did say "maybe," but I won't argue with anyone who thinks Dugo is better.

Dugo has better numbers, this year.

Duvall has a GG, but it's hard to compare Duval with Dugo, since they have played different OF positions over much of their careers.

Dugo is having a better defensive season. Career? It's pretty close:

Here are some numbers 2019>>>:

RF DRS & UZR/150
+11 Dugo in 1998 innings 3.3 UZR/150
+6 Duvall in 863 innings (actually a better DRS/inning) 3.1
Looks kinda even.

CF
-1 Duvall in 998 innings 2.0
-3 Dugo in 821 innings -2.4
Pretty close

LF
+21 Dugo in 1847 innings +6.4
+8 Duvall in 1177 innings +1.5
Dugo better in LF
