  1. If we're just picking players out of a hat that had 1 decent season, I'll go with Kyle Snyder.
  2. I looked up his stats in Fangraphs because I thought I was missing something. He was good in 2010 - 2013, but was just a veteran retread after that.
  3. Considering how many of his buddies got purged back in 2012, I think we know the answer to this.
  4. It's like saying "let's not reset and still not make the playoffs." Fun!
  5. Waiting to trade them comes with substantial risk. I'm not a fan.
  6. Wikipedia also called this -14.7 dWAR player an "outstanding defensive firstbaseman." LOL
  7. In February 1992, Quintana was involved in an automobile accident in town of Tacarigua de Mamporal, Venezuela while rushing his two brothers to a hospital after they were shot at a party. In the accident, Quintana broke his left arm and his right big toe and his wife Solys broke both of her legs. The injuries caused Quintana to miss the entire 1992 season. Quintana returned to the Red Sox for the 1993 season but was still feeling the effects of the accident, including loss of feeling in his left thumb. He lost the starting first base position to Mo Vaughn and at the end of the season he announced his retirement from MLB baseball
  8. Tomase should have been run out of town over a decade ago.
  9. It'd be a gritty fun tho!
  10. Naehring - I prefer my players to have equally sized legs and not be injured all the time Easler - solid player who only had one really good year for the Sox (only played 2) Esasky - not really under the radar because he was the best offensive weapon on that 89 team (sole season) Jefferson - already on my list Brunansky - fine player who made one memorable catch and had almost 250 HR's before coming to the Sox so def not under the radar Carlos Quintana - two decent years, but I remember him more from his PAWSOX days because we had season tix back then Barrett - ALCS mvp and an amazing WS, anyone who forgets him is probably just too young to remember this punch and judy hitter
  11. Cormac McCarthy as a GM would be much more fun.
  12. You BDC guys still write the worst thread titles
  13. I’d rather: 0, 81, 162
  14. 11 player trade. Very realistic.
  15. The problem wasn't developing pitching, it was letting Boggs, Clemens and Burks go elsewhere.
  16. "Though Bumgarner’s average annual value ($17 million) is significantly lower than Price’s ($31 million), teams looking to contend in the next couple seasons would likely rather have the shorter-term deal (Price’s)." Also, wrong since since Bum's contract is backloaded, so it's cheaper in the next couple of seasons. They could move him afterwards.
  17. What a horrible writer. "Though every pitcher is different, Price is more similar to Kluber and Bumgarner than Cole, Strasburg or Wheeler. Suddenly, the remainder of Price’s deal doesn’t look as much like an albatross considering the massive prices for free agents." The FA's making big bucks are far younger with much higher upside than Price. His contract doesn't look like an albatross if you compare it to Cole's contract? That's like saying "Myers contract isn't bad if you look at how much Trout is being paid."
  18. What if you're watching a bunch of younger guys that could be the foundation of our team going forward rather than just FA retreads. Wouldn't that make it a more exciting 75 win season?
  19. As long as there is a plan that I believe in going forward, sure.
  20. https://www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/free-agent-tracker?sign=unsigned&pos=sp Riyu Bailey Nova Miley Gio Gonzalez Keuchel Wood Chacin Aaron Sanchez Other interesting names: Buch Ross King Felix Teheran Clayton Richard Holland Eickhoff Harvey Cahill Ervin Santana Shelby Miller Rich Hill (injured)
  21. When were Rice and Boggs extensively booed? Buckner was beloved when he returned in 1990.
  22. Still should be easier than moving Price.
  23. I have seen fans of other teams thinking there are about 10 teams that could be interested in Price. I’d just be surprised at a move.
