    He's got one more year left. If he comes back and shows his prior ability, he will be really expensive.

    Wow, Boone allowed the Rays to set their lineup and used the kid as an opener. Haha, smart
  3. jacksonianmarch
    That is a theoretical number because, with the reset, the sox can go up to $250 mil without pushing a pick back. I just doubt you go past it. This is a process. You started with a bad team, a bad farm, and a bad payroll. If the sox try and be competitive in 2021, they will screw up the process, which I sincerely hope they do
  4. jacksonianmarch
    No, they cannot

    Stroman will definitely get a QO. I'd expect Quintana to get one too

    And Bloom is a master trader. The guys he sold off this year all turned into pumpkins and he at least got some talent back. His Betts deal is looking more and more genius by the day. If he is given the green light to full on tear down the team, then the end result will be a sustained period of excellence without the last place valleys

    I’ve been pretty honest that your biggest asset is Bloom. I’m actually terrified of what he will do if Henry actually allows him to work yet offers him a blank check to get guys he wants. His mentor is doing a phenomenal job in LA. LA is big budget but also has the prospect capital to literally get any player in the game that they want. I don’t want that to happen. I want Henry to get impatient

    Sale isn’t gonna be back til closer to the ASB and likely won’t be at his best until September. Also, his velo was fading before he hurt his elbow. TJS doesn’t fix a shoulder issue

    Spending for the sake of spending got them in this situation.

    The Yanks offense is coming alive against great pitching. Bieber, Carrasco, and Snell. 3-0, 31 runs scored. Bout time. Big game tonight. Boone pitting the kid vs Glasnow may be Boone’s finest work. I’ve been really critical of Boone, but this is a chess move I like. Glasnow is going tonight. He’s been lights out this year based on peripherals. Tanaka is the only other Yankee trump card vs the Rays. Deivi and Happ are ???. So if Deivi can hang with Glasnow, bonus. If he doesn’t and we lose, you have a tasty matchup of a diminished Charlie Morton vs a seasoned post season performer in Tanaka. I like those chances. It’s be great to sweep here, but realistically, this thing is gonna go 5 and I think we have a decided as advantage in game 5. Gotta take one of the next three

    Now we literally need to win one game from 2-4 and we should win the series. We can hit and drive Snell out and Cole (outside of Ji Man) can shut this lineup down. Boone pulled Cole before 100 pitches for the sole purpose of readying him for game 5. Smart move. 1-0 Yanks
  12. jacksonianmarch
    There's more to deal off. My bet is the sox sign short term deals, deal them off for farm capital and grow. 2022 is when they start to actually bring in long term assets
  13. jacksonianmarch
    A stantonian blast!!!!
  14. jacksonianmarch
    They did face Gerrit Cole, so there's that
  15. jacksonianmarch
    Cole and Green did their job. The ball is handed to Britton with a lead. At this point, the rest is up to the well paid relievers
  16. jacksonianmarch
    Arb salaries can only go down 20% in baseball. ERod made the equivalent of $8.3 mil. So the lowest he can go is $6.64 mil. The precedent for season ending injury in a guy who's last year was top notch is the same salary. I'd expect ERod around $8.5 mil for 2021. Devers is probably correct with his solid 2019 and okay 2020 in his first run through arb. The sox will have a fair amount of money for sure, I just don't think they're gonna use it like most fans want. They'll spread the wealth on shorter term deals and then deal those players off to build. I honestly think 2021 will be the first year of the true rebuild
  17. jacksonianmarch
    Ji Man, the modern day Enrique Wilson. A s*** regular who owns an ace
  18. jacksonianmarch
    Deivi in game 2. My bet is they didn’t want him potentially in an elimination or clincher game.
  19. jacksonianmarch
    Yanks in 5.
  20. jacksonianmarch
    Bauer may buck convention, but as a pitcher, he’d be f***ing stupid to go year to hear, especially after the season he’s had.
  21. jacksonianmarch
    Exactly. There’s a strong chance that in the not too distant future that Cole’s deal becomes an albatross. Hence, you get him to win that first year or two. The Sox aren’t built to win next year, so you’ll burn a high value year by signing him
  22. jacksonianmarch
    You go for a guy like Bauer when you have a team that can win the WS. The Sox pitching staff without Bauer is led by a guy who won’t be returning until the ASB and probably won’t be back to his peak until September in Sale. Your #2 is a guy with COVID myocarditis who was just cleared to walk. Beyond those two are rotation stalwarts Eovaldi and Perez with the promising Houck as the 5. If Sale has even a minor setback, he’s done for 2021. ERod is in uncharted waters here. So you could theoretically go get Bauer for the 9 year $35 mil deal he’s gunning for and be stuck with ERod as a pending FA who could be on the shelf and a post TJS starter returning a year after and then a bunch of s***. In the ALE. The timing makes zero sense. Bauer could be all washed up in 2-3 years. The Sox could be title contenders outside of the fact that he’s an albatross. Bauer would be a bad, bad decidion
  23. jacksonianmarch
    No way. Bloom will hire someone from TB. He isn’t going to go back to the Sox past, especially with a cheater.
  24. jacksonianmarch
    Lol. This year’s playoffs are harder to win than any year prior. There’s an extra round that is shorter which leads to far more variability. Also, the 5 game ALDS being 5 straight days absolutely selects for a resilient team. If anything, the asterisk should be that their title was the hardest to win in the history of the game
  25. jacksonianmarch
    I know Bauer would love to get Boston into the bidding, but why would the Sox want Bauer now? This literally makes no sense. The Yanks went out and got Cole because they were a pitcher away from being a title favorite. The Sox are a lot more than a Bauer away from being title favorites. You don’t go get Bauer then essentially be a team with an ace and a bunch of ******** after him. Listen, the Sox will spend something this offseason. But I think they’ll spread the money around on shorter term deals rather than commit $250-$300 mil to a pitcher
