My point was that Hamilton is more valuable to the Sox than other teams.

What in the blue hell are you going on about?
-
Therefore, I take everything you say with a grain of salt. Your opinions have an agenda.
-
My post didn't mean what you think it means.

You're highly critical for everything

I am writing a paper on JH being the most generous owner in baseball
-
Sir, do you believe a GM's only job is to sign players and make trades? This team is 6th in MLB in ERA with what many of us believed was a pitching staff comprised of spare parts. The team is 7th in OPS even though they have missed their second-best hitter (Casas), arguably third-best hitter (Abreu) and highly-paid SS (Story) for a large part of the season. This team has made strides in both its offensive and pitching approach, coaching and general infrastructure. You can't gush about the baseball the Sox are playing with largely the same pieces as last year, then whine about the executive who built the current pitching and coaching infrastructure pretty much from the ground up. Here in the Dominican Republic we call that talking out of both sides of your mouth.

JH is not cheap confirmed. He is a generous lizard person.
-
But then you just traded Hamilton and a good prospect for at most, an average SS.
-
Aren't you always whining about him being cheap? So is he generous or cheap?

Bill James blasts current day baseball statisticians

Did I not clearly state in my post "OBP+power"? -
Bill James blasts current day baseball statisticians
Dipre replied to jung's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Managers have been applying these simplified principles for years. Earl Weaver spent his entire managerial career advocating for OBP+Power for his lineup, and K's+Ground Balls for his pitchers. "We hit out of the park, and don't let the other team hit it out of the park" was his idea. We just know the intricacies of these concepts nowadays. -
Too many auto-outs for certain lineups has doomed their ability to score runs for stretches of the season.
-
In short, the Sox need him more than what he could potentially return in a trade (in my opinion).
-
Hamilton is just not good for speed, but quality AB's and versatility. He looks to me like a guy who's more valuable to the Sox than other teams.
-
Yeah but we're not privy to their evaluation on Grissom.
-
The fact that it's simple doesn't make it right either way (I mean yours or notin's). But, Occam's razor.
-
They're paying Sale 17 mill to *not* pitch for them, and they also paid up for Giolito, so I don't think that's it. I think they genuinely saw Grissom as a difference maker.
-
I was the main one arguing for starters being injured more often. I remember citing at least one piece on the matter.
-
Every pitcher in the MLB right now is a TJS risk. You are very busy pounding your chest in celebration with the benefit of hindsight to acknowledge the deal made sense. It just didn't work out.
-
I don't agree with the Sale part because I personally thought he was done.
-
Absolutely. They should have signed more pitching. But we can assess moves individually. I think the trade and sign was fine, the rest of the offseason was not.
-
Giolito had a 3.45 ERA in the first half with 117 K in 112.1 IP, got into a messy divorce, and his numbers plummeted. He also had negative run values on an overused 4-seamer. Dude was Breslow's wet dream. We can argue this until we're blue in the face, but making the right trade and the results of the trade being terrible are not mutually exclusive things.
-
dgale loves calling people know it alls and going off on posters who don't agree with his or Old Red's bs takes. They both suck.
-
You were wrong in wanting to trade Duran. I won't let you live that down. It's the small victories.
