  1. Move Devers to first base.
  2. They need to open up a full time position for Baez.
  3. I will wet myself if we trade Benintendi for Bryant and then we sign JD Martinez.
  4. We have been successful at this?
  5. I don't think Hill was worried about being insulted. He had just been pitching on Long Island in the Independent League when we signed him. It was about money. He is in his upper 30's with a history of injuries. He needed to capitalize on his remaining time. He would have taken a major league deal anywhere.
  6. and not a single pitcher
  7. Girardi has been whining about not getting the opportunity to finish the job. Guys like him never factor in that the douche factor shortens their shelf life.
  8. It would depend on what Theo thinks about Benintendi's potential.
  9. Rooting for a meteor to hit the field.
  10. Cubs interested in Benintendi. I'd take Bryant. http://bostonsportsextra.com/boston-red-sox/2017/10/cubs-interested-benintendi
  11. Right. I knew it was a reliever.
  12. I think they offered him a minor league deal, because they couldn't guarantee that he would make the big team. I don't remember the financial details of the offer.
  13. The worst World Series for me would have been Yankees - Dodgers. I probably hate the Dodgers worse than the Yankees because they left my community, but I have to live among Yankee fans so I would prefer if the Dodgers would beat the Yankees. It would just be an awful way to end the season.
  14. He has used several different avatars of this type, and the women are always white. Unconscious bias ... I wonder? I will not be silenced in pointing out this soft racism in this practice of blatant misogyny.
  15. Good point if he can't see what he is typing, how can he read my posts?
  16. 3 last place finishes. Let's not sell Ben short.
  17. I can understand the admiration of Theo as has been highly successful for an extended period for 2 franchises, but no one is offering Ben a GM job and I don't expect that he will get a GM job anytime soon.
  18. I didn't say that I gave him a pass. I said "if we can give him a pass". I don't give any GM a pass on any deal he signs off on. Only one GM that I know had the stones to say that he opposed a deal. Brian Cashman publicly opposed a signing -- for Chapman I think.
  19. I was just concerned that I was committing soft racism in the opposite direction -- by calling a white guy a dope was I just assuming that it went unsaid about blacks? That is certainly not what I intended. If it was taken that way, I apologize. Oh, the insidiousness of unconscious bias, or is it subconscious bias? When you are unconscious you are asleep. Bias while sleeping probably can't offend anyone or cause damage to society. It must be subconscious bias...right?
  20. Hinch is a dope. I hope that isn't racist.
  21. He gets credit and blame.
  22. These baseballs are made in Costa Rica.
  23. And risk losing the contract and probably their entire business? I don't think so.
  24. We don't. He was the GM and these deals were all his responsibility, so it all sits with him.
  25. If we can give him a pass on certain deals, we can pin certain deals on him.
