    You guys are underselling Votto's value at the moment. You worry about 2022 and 2023 another day. I don't see them making this move though.
  2. mvp 78
    The Guardians payroll is pretty similar to the Rays... The Astros, Pirates and A's have all been relatively close in the past few years.

    The Sox are at their best when Pedroia is playing well. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=8370&position=2B When Pedey stays healthy and uses RF more often, I have zero complaints about him.

    So if that means they get to pick 2 out of 3 of the B's (Bogey, JBJ and Betts), would it really close the window if JBJ moved on? This team has the financial structure where it doesn't have to go through extensive rebuilding phases.

    They are not that far removed from winning 90+ games in 5 out of 6 years. The fanbase may not show up, but they get decent tv ratings and players get to live in a very comfortable part of the country with a cheap tax rate. I don't see much of a downside. The threat of the franchise moving is overblown. It's more likely that they build a new stadium near Tampa than move out of state.

    If they walk, it'll because the ownership cheapened out. They can afford to keep any guy that comes through the system. If they choose not to, that's another discussion altogether.

    Dombrowski stated that the main job of the manager is to keep the ship running, not tactical maneuvers. It's the organizational philosophy at the moment. If you don't agree, you'll just have to hold your nose until Dombrowski is gone.

    This team was streaky all year long. They just ended it on a downward slope.
  9. mvp 78
    Why are the Rays toxic?
  10. mvp 78
    I would trade Moncada plus Kopech and Groome for Sale. If they wanted Devers too, I'd pass due to questions about Sale's delivery.

    http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/boston-red-sox-team-stats?season=2016&category=BATTING&group=1&time=2 The hitters didn't help that much either.

    Do you guys still want to sign EE for 100M even if he's attached to a QO?

    Salty had a career best WAR. Napoli's WAR approximates his total WAR for the following 3 years. Buchholz had 2.8 WAR in half a season. Lot's of things went right for the Sox that year.
  14. mvp 78
    It was only a fewweeks ago that people said JBJ was untradeable...
  15. mvp 78
    Lester has performed in the postseason, Price hasn't.
  16. mvp 78
    To me, 1b seems like an easier hole to fill and is not a need right now.
  17. mvp 78
    I'm not saying he'll play 162, he'll just be the opening day starter. I hope he returns to form and plays great. An average Panda year is better than any of the other options available to the Sox right now.
  18. mvp 78
    Swihart should get reps at 3b in the offseason. I think he has a better skillset there than in LF. Kopech just doesn't have the secondary pitches or repeatable delivery to be a good starter. I think it's the best place for him.
  19. mvp 78
    How does that have ANYTHING to do with him saying that he'd retire at the end of the season? Did that prevent the rest of the team from hitting in the postseason too?
  20. mvp 78
    The team won the division. I'm told over and over again on here that the playoffs a crapshoot. I'll just write the sweep off to dumb luck. I'm fine with Farrell coming back. He's a mediocre manager who rides tremendous highs and lows with this team (maybe that's due to the team's age more than anything).
  21. mvp 78
    Williamson had pitched well down the stretch that year too.
  22. mvp 78
    Panda will be the opening day 3b. Price will have a better season than in 2016. Moncada doesn't make the opening day roster. Sox pick up 2 new relief arms and make a substantial one year offer to Koji. Tazawa and Ziegler move on. Buchholz has his option picked up. The Sox don't bring in any new starting pitchers. Kopech is converted to a bullpen arm.

    Celebrate indigenous peoples. Drink. f***ing win.
  25. mvp 78
    Buch is earning that option today. He's going to win the hearts and minds of talksox.
