I'd eat 75% of the contract, but wouldn't give up any valuable prospects.
-
Also, teams that start the season with a lot of question marks (3b, LF, C, Carson Smith, Koji, Porcello, Kelly, ERod) don't typically run the table over the course of a season.
-
It's a surprise because they were in last place the previous 2 years. They aren't favorites to make the playoffs.
-
DUMBrowski took over the team last year, watched them day in and day out and decided the only way to fix the mess was blow it up. Castillo and Pablo are both done in Boston. I wonder what he thinks about the long term prospects of Porcello. The bullpen stunk last year and DUMBrowski did some work to fix that in the offseason. He still needs to remake the starting rotation, but that's harder to do than add in bullpen arms.
-
This is really all that matters now. I'm really hoping for this team to surprise everyone...
-
Good luck with that.
-
I feel sorrier for the bench than I do for Henry's wallet.
-
The Yankees losing bullpen arms: this is a good test for our young power pitchers The Red Sox losing bullpen arms: uh oh
-
He still hasn't responded about his ERod theory though.
-
It's not about the overall speed, it's about the difference in speed and movement between pitches.
-
If Tazawa has a solid season, the pen should be ok enough.
-
He's been injured. Whatever he brings to the table will be gravy. I don't see him as an 8th inning guy at this point.
-
A decent fastball and a mediocre breaking ball is enough to get by as a low end reliever in MLB, which is what he currently is.
-
This election cycle has been the worst/greatest reality show in history.
-
If he was able to find and develop young pitching, he'd still be here.
-
I honestly didn't know if you liked Price better or if you had just forgotten to include him. Not a big deal to me.
-
At the same age of 25, Shaw had more HR's while only needing half of the ab's that Hillenbrand did.
-
But AGon trade was worth it just for the drama on Talksox they day AGon got on the plane without signing agreeing to an extension. This place flipped its lid. It was hilarious. Anthony Rizzo would look mighty nice right now though.
-
If they thought that, he'd be in LF on opening day. He's toast. Stick a fork in him. To them, he's a 5th OF.
-
Super Theo!
-
It's not about "they would have," it's about "they should have." They weren't going to pay for Lester. Mistake. They were going to pay for 2 3b's instead. Mistake. I just hope whoever decided on that s*** show has no more say in personnel decisions. If Castillo was salvageable, he'd be the opening day LF. Porcello could pitch like 2014 again, but it's far from a certainty.
-
Considering the other contracts on the books (Craig, Porcello and Panda), I don't think Hanley's contract is an albatross. It's fine.
-
I prefer the faster pace of the NHL, but the Bruins are just terrible right now. They are a team on the decline who are going to fire their coach in the next few weeks. The C's just need a guy that can take the ball over at the end of the game (not IT or Evan Turner).
-
Unpopular Opinion Alert: I'd take Price over Sheilds.
-
I think Holt will still be the main super-sub, just that when he's not subbing in he will have a position available to him. With Castillo, it was about spending $$$ on a prospect/lottery ticket. If it worked out, great. If it didn't work out, at least they didn't spend all that time training him and it's just money anyway. Basically, they were saying "we don't have ANY OF prospects right now, we need to pay to get one in here. This guy has a high upside and is athletic enough that he could be replacement level at the very least."
