  1. If they want to continue to charge the highest ticket prices in Baseball, they can't put out a product that looks like the KC Royals.
  2. If the O's win game 3, they will have a really good shot at closing out the Yanks without facing CC again.
  3. He lost. Close enough.
  4. At this point, you will get next to nothing for Melancon. We'd be better off keeping him in the minors for an emergency situation.
  5. The press in Boston is the added intensity. Other than that, Greinke did pitch well in a large market and he has pitched well in penant races. He's been traded twice and that is a high stress situation. How much more pressure could Dan Shaughnessy add. The Boston press is more annoying than anything else. They are a non-factor to onfield performance.
  6. He's going to blow up tonight.
  7. ^What point are you trying to convey?
  8. Keeping Aviles as the starting SS would be a commitment to mediocrity.
  9. Salty is proven to suck.
  10. Oh, a debate over whether a guy ha MLB talent level is hate. That's really stupid.
  11. I don't think anyone hates him. They just hate the debate whether he is an MLB talent.
  12. Cabrera is a beast.
  13. Good luck Terry. http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/sports/pros_and_colleges/x21086657/Guardians-hire-former-Red-Sox-manager-Francona http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/8470798/terry-francona-new-manager-cleveland-Guardians
  14. Miggy Cabrera is a total beast.
  15. You are going to call a season in which Sweeney hit 0 HRs a career year. You maybe fudging on this one.
  16. I'll have 70,000 posts by then and most of the current members will have moved onto other stuff, college adulthood etc. Looking at the current rosters of the teams in the playoffs, each has 50%, usually more, players from outside the organization obtained through trades or free agency, including many of their star players. Like it or not, we will not get back to the playoffs solely through the draft. We will have to acquire players by trades and free agency and they will not all be cheap. If they are good, they will cost $ or top prospects or maybe both. I agree that a bullpen is a priority, but those can be built and rebuilt in a shorter time horizon than a rotation. I think that has to be a continuing focus for 2-3 years. It could bear early fruti, because pitching is the most important aspect of the game.
  17. Reality sucks. I don't think I did any better. Had AGon penciled in for 35 HRs/
  18. You keep saying this, and I keep asking how would you go about rebuilding the team and what would be your time horizon for getting back to being a playoff team? __________________
  19. Hey, Fred is back! They called you negative for predicting a second place finish and for saying that Bard was finished when he got demoted. You were way to optimistic.
  20. It is just for the fun of it. Looking back, the thread makes me laugh. Aren't you a fun guy Bell? I expect predictions from you this year. Don't be a stick in the mud or worse a coward.
  21. BTW, I am thinking about your sig for losing the bet. PM me if you have any suggestions.
  22. Okay, good. I just don't want to see you setting yourself up to get crushed by disappointment.
