Red Sox To Sign J.D. Martinez

[Kimmi]

But she knows way more about the game we love so you should just let her flaunt her stuff and never presume to challenge her expertise.

 

Right on cue.

 

I really should be paying you guys rent.

You and your posse are quite annoying. Let's get Hitch in here now too and Illinois for the pile on.

[mvp 78]

Why can't I get a posse?

 

[mvp 78]

 

It me.

JD, with agent Boras by his side, more or less stated that he would be opting out after 2019, which is no surprise to anyone.

 

He and Boras both said that they were open to renegotiating the contract to eliminate the opt outs. If the Sox are planning on keeping JD past 2019, then renegotiating this offseason would be the smart thing to do. That said, Dombrowski cannot go crazy on a new contract. One of the reasons why the JD acquisition is so great was because of the reasonable contract.

 

I would offer a higher AAV, but keep the # of years down.

Oh! I'm only now seeing this. Ha! For what it's worth, as I've mentioned before I wouldn't classify myself as a stat person, more of a in-the-middle kinda guy. I think some stats are great and measure lots that we love about the game, I think some are a nonsense.

 

As I said to you in the other thread last night, if you want to see childish: looking at Spuds constant "But somebody will be along to tell me I'm wrong wah wah wah" after every post, fits the bill just nicely.

 

If posting in opposition to belligerent, grumpy old men, crying and moaning all day while you treat us all to a dazzling array of hypocrisy, qualifies me as being part of a posse, sign me up baby!

 

mvp, I'm also starting up a side posse called "stat heads are communists" in case it goes south and I can jump on the other bandwagon. I got a space there for you as comrade-in-arms if you're interested buddy? Nobody should be without a posse.

Yeah, same here. But then you knew that because of our daily 7am breakfast strategy meeting.

Spud makes snarky remarks as many do on this board. He usually doesn’t mention anyone by name when he drops those comments. You and your little group that like to pile on are thin skinned and think everything is dlrected at you personally. It is not. You need to get over yourselves and develop a sense of humor.

[a700hitter]

OMG, is this directed at me? You are constantly sniping. LOL! Actually, this was somewhat humorous. I can find humor even when the snark is directed at me. Can you?

[Spudboy]

lol

I'll let you know when you post something humorous.

As a comedian once said, "If I tell a joke and you don't laugh it doesn't mean it wasn't funny. It means you didn't get it".

I'm more interested in an anarcho syndicalism. Sorry.

[a700hitter]

As a comedian once said, "If I tell a joke and you don't laugh it doesn't mean it wasn't funny. It means you didn't get it".

And I am much funnier in person.

[a700hitter]

Fair enough. It might facilitate the process if you don’t read my posts through a hate filter.

[S5Dewey]

That you are!!!

[a700hitter]

That you are!!!

And sometimes I am not trying to be funny! LOL!

[Hitch]

Whilst true, I don't feel the jokes on the board have reached a complexity level where this would apply

[Hitch]

I feel there's enough common ground that we can start a whole new posse. You can never have enough back-up plans.

[Spudboy]

That you are!!!

 

Hanging with a700 is a blast.

Actually... .things like humor and sarcasm don't carry well on line. Hence a lot of misunderstandings.

Most of the misunderstanding is do to the reader’s filter/bias... you know the lying eyes stuff.

stat heads are communists might be a little extreme but hey Hitch remember - keep the politics out of it!!! LOL

Hey - Spud has got nothing on me when it comes to be snarky which by the way is a ******** word. I'm accused of it quite often when I don't fall in line. LOL

 

Seriously now I think that we all have something to offer here. Personally I tend just simply not to like people who think that they are constantly correct. No one is regardless of whether you are predominantly a believer in all things statistical or not. There is no one right way to look at things. Personally I will always lean toward the people who have experience - real experience - either playing or coaching the game. Not to mention the fact that I like real bullshitters - people who can laugh at themselves - of which it seems we have in abundance.

I’ll let you be Sundance to my Butch Cassidy...

I find them to be obvious a lot of times. It helps if you assume most people will be humorous or sarcastic from the onset and not actually attacking anyone...

Several years ago there was talk about having a pro football team in Las Vegas and one of the names suggested for the teams was the Las Vegas Posse. Then some wag said to wait until they lose three in a row and see what the fans call them then!

Definitely true.

This is true. An LOL! can be very helpful sometimes.
