  1. He could be an amazing defender, just doesn't have the focus. IDK. Something is missing.
  2. Makes sense that it wouldn't be a DFA. Even if it's just a DSL guy.
  3. Arrighetti is a fly ball pitcher that gets pulled a lot. Not sure what the point is in having him added. Would rather add fliers on some lower level guys TBH.
  4. He was injured. Bad extension. Don't extend injured pitchers.
  5. They are 5th in luxury tax since it began behind NYY/LAD/NYM/PHI, paying approximately $55M (97% of which came before 2020). The problem is, fans got used to them being top 5 and more often top 3 for a long portion of JH's reign. I think that's why it's easy to rant about cheapness when he's still spending more than 2/3's of the league (and yes, a large part of it is due to the overwhelming revenue he brings in). Also, the Sox have a tendency to not see these contracts through to their end, so the idea of all these players being locked up for a certain time period does ring hollow. All we really have is what is being paid out today. Who knows what the move will be tomorrow?
  6. They thought moving him to the OF would better utilize his speed. It just took a long time for that to bear out.
  7. Um, actually, this post isn't about Houck and Casas. Did you know that?
  8. Oh, did you not see the first part of my post? Has every other post for the other 20 pages just been about luxury tax? You said "spend." Luxury tax has nothing to do with spending.
  9. At what level? HS level? Sure? FCL level? Probably not. He could make Yoeillin Cespedes look like a gold glover.
  10. 276M Lux 205M Cash They're committing to more cash than the Dodgers that are ruining baseball!
  11. And they moved Raffy to DH before trading him. Why bring a poor man's Raffy to BOS?
  12. If he was a RHB, Craig would have traded for him by now.
  13. This is a lie. It's so easy to do on MLB the Show.
  14. It's not the WORST decision. It's not a great one though.
  15. That situation is completely the same. It's not like bullpen arms aren't completely fungible and moved all the time. Were the Red Sox just like the '24 ChiSox? They were THAT bad? I'm sorry you had to go through that for 3 whole seasons!
  16. Did Mike Lowell get a ring for his 8 games played with NYY in 98? He could have 3 rings too?
  17. If he was merely below average in k% and defense, I'd sign him. There was interest when he was going to transition to 1b. Now? IDK.
  18. Duran's defense is only wasted if he's sitting at DH.
  19. Contreras really is the 4th C. He should only be emergency depth at best.
  20. People keep wanting to throw him to CF because he was "wasted" but he's kind of not wasted it seems?
  21. Any team 100M under the CBT should be up for sale.
  22. "Would almost certainly result in a bad contract." Like the Masa and Hicks contracts? If you're going to sign a bad contract, at least get one that will provide value for a few years. Part of having financial might is being able to eat some money once in a while. JH doesn't have that appetite though.
  23. Mike Miller Michael Martinez Mike Napoli Mike Carp Mike Aviles Michael Bowden Mike Cameron Mike Lowell - not enough WS rings Mike Timlin - CHECK Mike Burns Mike Holtz Mike Myers Mike Stanton Mike Remlinger
  24. Romy was DFA'd by the worst team in the history of MLB.
  25. He's kinda set up here to do a 50/50 split at 2b with Romy if the Sox wiff on signing anyone.
