  1. Why would you average it out? It's not like the Sox can give JD Martinez a contract from 2006. Average player salary was 65% higher in 2015 than in 2005.
  2. Everyone makes everything sound easier than it actually is.
  3. http://www.fangraphs.com/statsd.aspx?playerid=3882&position=OF&type=&gds=2017-09-04&gde=2017-10-01&season= They blew that call for sure.
  4. http://boston.locals.baseballprospectus.com/2017/11/15/the-stanton-conundrum/ Any player can be dealt. We’ve seen it before with huge contracts trading hands in deals that, before their consummation, would have been thought impossible to pull off. So even though this seems daunting, it could absolutely happen. And Stanton is an amazing player who would look fantastic in the middle of the Red Sox batting order. So the Red Sox should explore things with the Marlins. And they will. But in the end, wouldn’t it be easier to skip all the above and give J.D. Martinez $175 million, check off that box, and move on with your offseason?
  5. He made $15M+ in his last 3 seasons.
  6. Why wasn't he ready on Sept. 1 though?
  7. What Japanese kid?
  8. When Price met with Andrews and Neal ElAttrache on Thursday, they both expressed shock at the relatively strong state of the elbow. "[Andrews and ElAttrache] expected it to be a lot worse than what it was," Price said. "That was both of them. They said it multiple times; we expected this to be a lot worse than what it really is.” Price said that the two experts' explanation for the improvement was simply that his elbow is special. “They were like, ‘Your elbow is extremely unique. It’s found a way to kind of heal itself,'" Price said. "It’s pretty neat, bionic elbow,” Perhaps it is that bionic elbow that allowed Price to lead baseball in innings pitched last year. It is such a great elbow. Bigly elbow.
  9. Martinez doesn't have blue eyes. He'll be fine.
  10. I think so too. The numbers Boras throws out there are just starting points. He doesn't think that is what his client will eventually get paid.
  11. But he'll be ready to be the 4th OF in April?
  12. Why didn't they use him when rosters expanded in September?!?!?!?!? I'll never understand that.
  13. Allergic to the sun?
  14. "I don't want to trade all our young players away, but if the trade makes sense, we'll do it." That sounds like a guy seething with desperation!
  15. Due to unfair labor practices that vastly underpaid employees.
  16. I think they were looking at Owens to see if he'd throw well in the fall/winter. He's been s*****. They should cut bait. Even if he could locate (which he can't) he's probably no better than a 4th starter.
  17. Obviously, if this offseason is a success, it has to be thanks to Vlad Dracul, not to Desperate Dave!
  18. I know some people want Papi to be a coach, I think "ambassador for new free agents to come to Boston" would be Papi's best role in this org.
  19. Or it means, I'm only going to a team I want to play for because I'm fine hanging out in nice sunny South Beach for the remainder of my contract if I have to.
  20. A baseball source said yesterday that he’s been told Stanton will not accept a trade to either the Red Sox or the Cardinals, another team linked early and often in trade rumors. http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/red_sox/2017/11/jennings_dont_bet_on_red_sox_trading_for_giancarlo_stanton
  21. Archer is the only guy I'd be interested in. Maybe replace JBJ with Kiermaier. Longoria is on the back 9 and would cost too much.
  22. What if he gets Stanton too?
  23. I think Mars and Beeks should be kept around. The third slot could probably go to whoever (Haley/Martin/Cosart).
  24. What if he just wants to opt out in a couple of years? What about the rumors that he's not interested in playing in Boston?
  25. They had no problem letting Tavarez go last year. Same will probably happen this year too. I
