  1. Will you miss last place?
  2. This is a big dominant bullpen arm added. It is a good start to overhauling the bullpen. I see the pen as definitely including Koji, Tazawa and Kimbrel, possibly with Kelly. Do people think Workman might be a possibility?
  3. and that is your opinion.
  4. I never said that he would lack for opportunities. Don't put words in my mouth. I said that he would be a fool to take a year off when there are so many job openings this year. There may not be as many openings next year, and the longer you are out of the game, the harder it will be to get back in at the GM level, imo.
  5. I'd be thrilled to add Fernandez and Chapman. I haven't read or heard any chatter about Fernandez, but the reports are that the Red Sox have genuine interest in Chapman. I have read that Boras and the Marlins are at war regarding Fernandez, so who knows what the Marlins might do.
  6. He is happily employed as a Gym teacher. No slam against gym teachers, but it is probably the dream of most gym teachers to be the GM of a professional sports franchise. Just my opinion.
  7. who is slandering anyone? You need to look up the definition. Toughen up kid. You personalize everything. You are not the only Ben pom pom waver here.
  8. You can rest easily that our last place roster is still intact.
  9. If it is autographed, I think you could make a pretty penny if you put it on eBay.
  10. If he gave you his bra, I can understand that you would defend him.
  11. Luchinno clearly pulled the trigger on all the bad deals as Cherington brilliantly rebuilt the farm system sans pitchers. Don't you know anything? A few TalkSox members have fatheads of BC on their walls. LOL!
  12. Hey E1, how is it going. My recollection is that you live in Seattle. Palodios is now your neighbor. You guys can start your own Seattle Chapter of TalkSox. With regard to your post, I would be thrilled if DD could pull off a deal for Fernandez for either of the packages you suggest. I don't see that happening. Fernandez when healthy may be th best pitcher in baseball. He is definitely top 5, and he is just a baby.
  13. i think your concern about Cueto is on the mark. Any team that signs him needs a thorough physical and probably some insurance as someone here has suggested.
  14. This is a pretty good deal for the Yankees imo.
  15. It failed miserably. They could have finished last at half the cost.
  16. He is an awesome hitter, and very consistent. He's OBP beast. He could be our DH in waiting. He should have several years of productivity left. What is the financial situation with Chapman?
  17. He had the luxury of finishing last 2 out of three years while rebuilding. He did not have the luxury of finishing last 3 out of 4 years, because at the team's payroll levels, it was too expensive to be a rebuild.
  18. T But what about Ben's students?
  19. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/11/tommy-hanson-hospitalized-in-coma.html
  20. It looks like we may have a lot to talk about soon.
  21. exactly. I didn't disagree with you. I just asked whether the author had a source or if it was an opinion. If I posted that today was November 9th, you would interpret that as a challenge. Lol! I am in your head.
  22. Agreed. A number 1 with 3 or 4 years of cost control will command a big price that will include major league experienced young players. Sonny Gray is not going to be had for a package of Moncado and Benitendi.
  23. I think you disagree just to disagree. I think every team would be willing to part with prospects for Sonny Gray. It is just a matter of whether they have the chips to make the deal and if they have the chips, the question is how many they would be willing to deal.
  24. He may become unemployed.
  25. i think it makes sense. It solves the Hanley problem as he could be plugged into third base.
