    I hadn't even heard of him until I saw it on twitter today.
  2. mvp 78
    See the update.

    No, every team should be DIY. Big budgets aren't DIY.

    Any takers on Ha-seong Kim? https://blogs.fangraphs.com/ha-seong-kim-has-big-mlb-aspirations-and-projections/

    Uh, read my post again?

    Carrasco does make more sense than Lindor. Or not!
  7. mvp 78
    He won a WS. That was enough.
  8. mvp 78
    But if he really were paying attention, wouldn't he know that he couldn't extend Sale, re-sign Eovaldi AND extend Betts?
  9. mvp 78
    What if we went back to the 2010-2011 offseason and did a do-over? Keep Rizzo. Don't sign CC. Use prospects to trade for Greinke. Re-sign Beltre.

    Well, the Sox haven't yet torn down the club. They dealt Mookie because they couldn't re-sign him. They replaced him with a starting RFer and filled an org need at 2b and C. They dumped Hembree and Workman because the team was out of it and neither were in their long term plans. Until they move Devers or Xander, it's not a tear down IMO.

    I bet JH has a budget and once they got to the tipping point it was a "you can't get there from here" moment. I wonder if JH spends less time fretting about particular roster moves than we do. To him, the budget is the budget. The ultimate value is the cash that comes in and the market value of the club. He probably doesn't even know who Tristan Casas is.
  12. mvp 78
    That's the only reason I believe it could be a possibility. I think it's more likely that JH wanted to keep Betts, but realized too late that the other high dollar contracts that were signed in recent years would severely restrict that.
  13. mvp 78
    I believe his idea is that the org depth was trash and that at some point there needed to be a focus on rebuilding the farm. I don't believe the MLB squad needed a "rebuild."
  14. mvp 78
    Maybe that was a fundamental disagreement between DD and JH and caused JH to move on?
  15. mvp 78
    Move Lindor/Xander to 2b.
  16. mvp 78
    Yup.
  17. mvp 78
    This is me.
  18. mvp 78
    More sexism. Great!
  19. mvp 78
    No, they have a s***** stadium in a horrible location. They get good tv ratings and are even more popular on the east coast of FL than the Marlins.
  20. mvp 78
    If he gets past the Sox, I'm going to believe that the Sox are going to replicate 2020 next year.
  21. mvp 78
    The Perez market is crashing.
  22. mvp 78
    Yup, kinda weird. Maybe the Cleveland Baseball Team is currently bouncing checks?
  23. mvp 78
    And the anticipation is that you could sign a Perez replacement for less than $6M. Maybe even get a guy on a multi year deal for less than 6M?
  24. mvp 78
    That's how you build back a farm even if your hands are tied.
  25. mvp 78
    Anyway, if guys like Hand are being let go, Sox could feasibly use their unlimited checkbook to completely revamp their pitching rotation and bullpen at a cost lower than previous market value. Is there an argument to not do that? If guys are being dumped for $$$ reasons, does that mean Perez's option is too much money and they could find a cheaper replacement?
