  1. Yup, working for an MLB org will burn you out and make you hate baseball.
  2. @SPChrisHatfield Confirmed that the Red Sox re-signed the following players who would have hit free agency: C Roldani Baldwin, RHP Seth Blair, RHP Raynel Espinal, LHP Stephen Gonsalves, 1B/OF Joey Meneses, OF Johan Mieses, 1B Josh Ockimey ( @ChrisCotillo 1st), C Jhonny Pereda, RHP Caleb Simpson.
  3. I just think that if it did happen, that a team would say "yeah, we offered more and he went elsewhere." I'd be surprised if it happens even once per offseason.
  4. What players have opted to not take the highest dollar? Varitek? Anyone else?
  5. Living the American Dream!
  6. I just hope JD doesn't look like Chris Davis again in 2021.
  7. When my BS in Math, MBA, MA (Accounting) and CPA falls short... I no good at numbers...
  8. You think it's less than 99%?
  9. Moncada was better than Devers in 2020. Espinoza hasn't pitched in 4 years. Nobody on here should be talking about him anymore. How has Kopech been a problem child?
  10. Bean came out as gay to his parents during his time playing for the Padres. He came out publicly to Lydia Martin of the Miami Herald in 1999. He became the second Major League Baseball player to publicly come out as gay. Glenn Burke was the first to come out to his teammates and employers during his playing days, though Burke did not come out to the public at large until his career was over.[2] I didn't know about Burke.
  11. I thought he wasn't open until his playing days ended?
  12. 1. You can not like DD's trades and not like Bloom's trades. 2. You can like DD's trades and not like Bloom's trades. 3. You can like DD's trades and like Bloom's trades. There isn't a contradiction. I'm in group 3. I think DD's trades were overpays, but the resulted in a WS. If they didn't win a WS, maybe his trades get downgraded. Bloom had a last place team and was able to dump some expiring contracts and receive prospects in return. Whether or not Bloom's deals worked out, he had a last place team and needed to try and restock the farm. I'm looking for a contradiction, but can't find one. The 2016-18 Sox team is starkly different from the 2020 version. The situations aren't alike. Hard to compare.
  13. Moncada, Dubon and Kopech are all good. Logan Allen may be fine. I don't think anyone is saying none of those guys are good? Maybe I don't know which poster you are referring to, unless it's StrawmanBoSox.
  14. He grew up being a Yankees fan. Pass.
  15. Not a contradiction. @IanCundall Looking back at the trade deadline, the Red Sox turned 13 IP of Workman (6.92 era/2.46 whip), 9.1 IP of Hembree (12.54 era/2.36 whip), 73 PAs of Moreland (.609 OPS) & 97 PAs of Pillar (.801 OPS) into Nick Pivetta & the #11, #12, #15, & #20 prospects in the @SoxProspects rankings.
  16. If we assume 150 FA's will sign over the next 90 days and each FA will sign a contract that's approximately 100 pages long (addendums and such), the MLB offseason will move about 152 ft/day, which is much slower than a sloth that can move at about 14,400 ft/day (astounding speed, really). Snails move at about 360 ft/day (ignoring sleep), still about 2x as fast as MLB. Now, even the fastest glacier moves at about 98 ft/day can't keep up with the speed of MLB paperwork. We can correctly ascertain that MLB moves at a pace greater than glacial speed, but slower than a snail's pace.
  17. For Boston, they predict: -SP Jose Quintana 2yr/$18MM -2B Kolten Wong 2yr/$16MM -P Anthony Desclafani 1yr/$4MM
  18. I have many bullets ready.
  19. Then they should have just kept him and had him serve his suspension.
  20. Too high for Lester.
  21. It's going to be very slow moving IMO.
  22. So then why total the fWARs for the previous 3 seasons? IMO, Perez will be the better pitcher in 2021 than Lester.
  23. Me, big brained poster, think Lester is the same pitcher as he was in 2018. 89 mph FB and 91 mph FB are the same thing!
