  1. Drawback? It was a feature. They dumped Farrell AND knew the coaching staff would be purged.
  2. Which is why there really is no cliff.
  3. Yes, I'm starting that rumor.
  4. Uh, yes because he's been so great at grinding through seasons and still being productive!
  5. You don't have to give me credit, just don't act like I've been saying it "forever." 2014 - negative WAR offensive player 2015 - injured and couldn't stay on the field and his defense had taken a step back (the year I started harping on him) 2016 - had a great season which I gave him credit for and said that it was the right time to move him as it would be selling high 2017 - negative WAR offensive player and couldn't stay on the field due to injuries
  6. Because of their market and their inability to get over the hump since going all out in 2008. It makes sense for them to do it. The Sox still have to have some sort of budget.
  7. Buck Showalter back to the Yanks. That'll heaten up the rivalry even more.
  8. I didn't watch the 2002 postseason. I was happy with how Ortiz played against the Yankees in 2003.
  9. I don't understand why the Sox don't have more interest in him.
  10. @redsoxstats Sox re-signed Aneury Tavarez on a minor league deal per @BaseballAmerica. Upper level OF depth real thin. Brentz, Selsky free agents.
  11. @NYPost_Mets Hearing that Mets bullpen coach Ricky Bones is a possibility to join Alex Cora's staff with the Red Sox. @redsoxstats Looking up Bones, seems like he was very popular in the Mets clubhouse and well respected around baseball. I assume YOTN would be very happy to have a coach on the staff named Bones.
  12. Addison Russell stinks. Pee yew.
  13. Chavis isn't playing 2B.
  14. He didn't say "there will be no offseason surgeries." Typical Canadian fake news.
  15. Skewed by one good playoff series against the Giants. He's an overrated choker.
  16. Can't hit in the postseason and is a large part of the Nats choking.
  17. Yours is fine. I think Trey Ball (for better or worse) gets put on the 40 long before Barfield does. However, I think DD signs enough guys prior to December that only Beeks, Martin and Mars are added from your 6 guys. I'm not sure Cozart or Haley are good enough to worry about someone drafting them. I'm a big fan of Beeks. I think Martin is fine as a AAAA guy that is called up for relief innings (was protected prior to last year's draft). Danny Mars could see some time in BOS next year depending on injury as the Sox are still not keen on bringing Castillo up.
  18. Yup, he's the guy that puts the butts in the seats (there are still a lot of empty seats there though).
  19. CIN has a decent offense. The pitching is what hurt them this year. Replacing Bailey and Arroyo should fix a lot of those concerns. Castillo is a great young pitcher. Amir Garrett has a ton of upside. Robert Stephenson has been a highly regarded prospect for a while. Desclafani is pretty solid if he is healthy next year. Adding two average starters will get them over .500 next year.
  20. Chris Sale was also obviously shooting his way out of town in 2016. It's not surprising he was traded. Votto seems a long shot. There is no way in hell that Goldschmidt leaves AZ this offseason.
  21. Why worry about Barfield being taken in the Rule V draft? He's a nobody. There is very little value for a 29 year old that can only hit AA pitching. That's an org guy. No one is going to draft him.
  22. Yup, and I don't anyone complaining about the trade at the time. This is an obvious instance of hindsight is 20/20.
  23. https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/100e958d This is a really great article on Jim Tabor.
