    Yuck. He's going to get hit around in the AL.

    The Mods are unpaid and don't have time for this kind of work. If you want to talk about a topic that you can't readily find, just make your own post.

    Craig Kimbrel’s lofty asking price — a reported six years and $100MM — and the lack of big-market clubs currently willing to spend on a late-inning reliever could present the right-hander with a difficult market this winter, Buster Olney of ESPN.com writes. Olney likens the situation to last year’s tepid market for J.D. Martinez — a similarly elite player for his position (designated hitter) who lingered on the open market until landing in Boston in late February — a match that long seemed inevitable. The Red Sox may be the best bet for Kimbrel, too, Olney opines, especially given the plethora of more affordable options for smaller and mid-market clubs to pursue even if they do want to bolster the back end of their bullpens.

    Mattingly's JAWS score is 15 less than the average HOF at his position. Rice's in 11 less. He's a better case for the HOF than Mattingly. Rice ended his career with higher WAR than Mattingly. Dale Murphy was a great talent stuck in a second tier town. If he played on the Yankees, he'd be in the HOF for sure. His numbers are similar to Fred Lynn and Kirby Puckett. If I went to the HOF and saw a plaque for Mattingly, Lynn, Murphy, et al I wouldn't be bothered. Anyone deserving of a conversation should be in. They were some of the greatest players of their time. They should be in. Dewey will get in eventually.

    This is just dumb.

    Even if he just pitches a few good innings down the stretch, it's a great signing.

    I know next to zero about this guy, but you can never have too many bullpen arms. You never know who will be the next Brasier.

    It's up there. 1986: Clemens, Hurst, Boyd, Seaver, Nipper 1978: Torrez, Eck, Tiante, Lee, Wright Those were pretty good too.

    https://www.boston.com/sports/boston-red-sox/2018/12/17/tim-neverett-la-dodgers-broadcast-team Missed the news that Neverett was leaving NESN. “I chose to let my contract expire rather than go back and work for them,’’ said Neverett, who was told by station executives in June to start looking for another job, but had hoped that the situation would get better. “The Red Sox were very supportive of me during a very difficult year,’’ he said. “They wanted me to return. It had nothing to with the Red Sox.” WEEI sucks.

    I never really gravitated towards Boggs as a younger fan so his loss didn't bother me. I loved Mo Vaughn, but he left at a time I was watching a lot less baseball. I remember when Nomar left that it was like a whole new world, like going through a breakup that you initiated. There was a feeling of loss but that you'd be better for it. With Lester, you could see the writing on the wall with the ownership not wanting to re-sign him. It wasn't a surprise to me.
  11. mvp 78
    I think he's a "break glass in case of fire" guy. If they really needed him (injury or whatever), he'd get called up.
  12. mvp 78
    He's borderline, but paid like an All Star. He's not going anywhere.
  13. mvp 78
    I'm not sure Betts even has a grudge to begin with. He's the one who wants to go year to year. I bet the Sox would love to ink him long term now. He's gonna get paid and he'll deserve it. If he goes elsewhere, it'll be the hardest organizational loss since Clemens left (and Mookie's could still be worse).

    5 Hr's in 2018 is "some pop"? His ground ball rate has been exceedingly high going back to 2014. It has nothing to do with injuries. A 31 year old OPSing 776 in AAA shouldn't be expecting a call up anytime soon. His defense isn't THAT good. He's just not worth it to any team at that price point. Don't cry for him. He's making bank.

    It's a combination of old people, transplants, a s***** stadium and a spread out population.

    Whatchagonnado Toledo when Gorkysmania runs wild on yooooooooooooou!
  17. mvp 78
    Yeah, no.
  18. mvp 78
    No one ever listens to me.
  19. mvp 78
    Is this a Gorkys Hernandez post or yet another post about trading JBJ?
  20. mvp 78
    Re-signing a minor league free agent who was with the club last year? That's up to you.
  21. mvp 78
    He was definitely slowing down in the stretch run and I believe there are questions about his arm.
  22. mvp 78
    That's unfair! You can change the amount of posts you see per page in settings.
  23. mvp 78
    There are better Rule 5 picks out there than a guy who sucked in the AFL, has crazy splits, wears down every year and doesn't have a good glove at 1b.
