  1. Pass on Josh Harrison. I don't think he's that good. Steamer projects him to have a negative OWAR this year. Seems overpaid for what he provides.
  2. Wow, such desperation!
  3. @redsoxstats On MLB Radio Dombrowski says he's comfortable returning the current team. He's expecting a lot of players to have better offensive years and he hopes to keep starting pitchers healthy. Says to get Boras on the show to find out what his current thought process is.
  4. Business Insider listed the top 16 heirs in the world, all with net worth above $14.4B. If you look at the Forbes Billionaires List, $14.4 would be about the 70th richest billionaire. If the rest of the rankings go from that SSS, approximately 23% of billionaires inherited their wealth. I'm sure some others inherited a lot of money and wound up increasing that net worth further, but that's a rabbit hole I don't want to go down. Effffffffffff billionaires.
  5. He did. He was a self made man. However, not all billionaires are. Hard to say if the "majority" inherited the wealth or not.
  6. For example: Henry bought the Marlins in 1999 for $158. That garbage franchise was sold for $1.2B last year.
  7. Hard to separate who makes the final call on a FA, but it has to pass by Henry's desk most likely. Henry had a lot of money to start with before he got into MLB. All franchises have seen their value continue to skyrocket. It hasn't really taken much financial genius to keep it going. We'll have to see what happens when the rubber meets the road and tougher times creep up (declining attendance across MLB, decreased tv ratings).
  8. Ockimey is probably a little high there. If he's going to be an impact bat, he needs to take a big jump this year. Cedrola? That's a weird one. I do like looking at how all the rankings match up. Looks like we'll have to keep a closer eye on Brannen this year!
  9. If Pom bolts, the rotation will be Sale/Price/Porcello/ERod/Wright. I think Beeks deserves some spot starts this year at least.
  10. Henry actually has a long history of stupidly throwing money away. http://m.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Daily/Issues/2012/09/05/Franchises/Liverpool.aspx
  11. Not true. They can be stupid about money too. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/sports/wp/2017/07/14/in-severing-ties-with-pablo-sandoval-red-sox-pay-for-a-95-million-mistake/?utm_term=.aa2e547406fe
  12. LOL. I didn't see this post before I made my point about collusion somewhere else.
  13. After the Cubs and Astros both tanked and won a WS soon after, it looks like other teams are trying to follow their lead. That's not good for baseball IMO.
  14. The last time the owners had "fiscal sanity" it ended up just being collusion.
  15. Overall, league ratings in prime time were down -6% compared to last season with the Detroit Tigers (down -38%) leading the way in ratings drag from the year prior. https://www.forbes.com/sites/maurybrown/2017/10/10/here-are-the-2017-mlb-prime-time-television-ratings-for-each-team/#6526b3b3799a
  16. That arb figure is crazy for his service time. He probably won’t get 10.5. He deserves it tho.
  17. Can you imagine his numbers for a full season? CAN YOU IMAGINE?!?!? HOF NUMBERS
  18. Devers is Ted Williams but with better wheels.
  19. I’m a big fan too.
  20. Sox file at 7.5 Betts files at 10.5 Up to arbitrator now.
  21. @alexspeier Sandy Leon and the Red Six agreed to a $1.95 million deal for 2018.
  22. @alexspeier Eduardo Rodriguez and the Sox agreed to a $2.375 million deal for 2018.
  23. If that happened, we'd know about it. s***, if all the "Gerald Green is at Logan" sightings on Twitter are any indication, I don't think they'd be able to sneak LoMo or Duda through security.
  24. I'm sure they are surveying the field, but I think they need to start flying players to Boston to get JD worried.
