  1. Only time will tell, but he has rolled out a garbage team that has been painful to watch in his first 2 years.
  2. Epstein's model is going into year 3 in Chicago. He has a 100+ and 90+ loss seasons under his belt, and with the Astros going to the AL, he has last place all to himself.
  3. 95 HRs over 3 seasons with the highest at 34 and the lowest at 29 is pretty good power.
  4. He starts out fine and then at some point he descends into insanity. if he is Dutchy, we will find out soon enough.
  5. I agree. Arizona screwed up and did not maximize these assets. They waited too long until they were exposed and their stock fell. They waited much too long on Skaggs. I think his Rookie status is gone. His stock is very low right now. That being said, Trumbo is a legit power bat.
  6. Our OFers would be Gomes, Victoriino, JBJ, Nava and Guttierez. I guess he would be replacing Ellsbury.
  7. Bauer like Skaggs has been very unimpressive in his appreciated opportunities at the major league level. They received good everyday ballplayers for pitching prospects who have been disappointing thus far in limited but repeated mlb trials.
  8. Yes, and he should be committed.
  9. He should not be allowed to own a computer. He's a menace on the internet.
  10. I thought that Hazelbaker was out of the organization. Didn't he go to play in japan?
  11. With Davis off the table, who else could be an OF target for the Sox?
  12. Skaggs got several shots with the big club last year and spit the bit each and every time. Maybe they suspect that he will not live up to his big prospect tag. As for Cahill, he had one very good year, but other than that, he has been a #4 or 5 starter type. I think that it is a pretty fair trade.
  13. His record as a troll on TalkSox is like Dimaggio's 56 game hitting streak. It will not be broken in our lifetime.
  14. Emmz could play Name that Dutchy and she could unmask him based on his first post. You probably don't need to check an IP address just as Emmz. She has busted him every single time.
  15. Dutchy is back? What a loser!! LOL!! Start the count down for the ban hammer.
  16. This is an appeal, not an investigation. I remember reading that the appeal would go into the offseason, but I don't recall reading that the administrative appeal would be dragged out until February.
  17. I am starting to wonder what is going on with ARod's appeal of his suspension. It is only about 2 weeks until Christmas and there is still no disposition of theis case. The way this has been dragging on must be making the execs at MLB uncomfortable. It is possible that this is taking so long because ARod has some leverage. If this case is decided at the beginning of next year, ARod will have an opportunity to appeal to a court. During the appeal, his attorneys are likely to ask for injunctive relief allowing him to play and get paid during the appeal. This would be very disruptive to the Yankee roster and payroll. I love that this case is dragging out.
  18. Maybe so, but besides Red Sox involvement, there doesn't seem to be any evidencE of teams being poised to make a deal. I'd be surprised if the Rays part with Price. Also, I haven't heard much about Headley being shopped.
  19. I don't think he is well-liked by the players.
  20. It doesn't seem that there is a lot of anticipation among baseball fans or the media around the upcoming GM meetings. There are usually a couple of hot rumors going into the meetings. What is the scuttlebutt this year?
  21. Time for optimism? Not for me. It's time for pride and joy. The Red Sox are the World Champions.
  22. Here's an idea for the Yankees to help solve their logjam in the outfield with Gardner, Ellsbury, Beltran, Ichiro and Soriano. With Cano gone, put Soriano back at his original position-- second base. LOL! Soriano at second and Old Man River at SS. What an infield that would be!!
  23. Yes, and managers don't get excuses for not winning when they are expected to win. They just get fired. No one would have blamed Farrell if the 2013 Sox had 85 wins. His team was not expected to win, but if he pulled a Dale Sveum, he'd get one more year before he would get fired whether or not the team sucked. Girardi's team was expected to win. It didn't.
  24. 20-20 hindsight.
  25. Yes, but the yankees trading with the Red Sox? That is a major stumbling block.
