    He called MAZZ before when the rumors he was going to sell crept up. He's refuted them every time, including last offseason.

    I think matching Crawford or Houck isn't a very high measuring stick. That should be doable, but ultimately should not be the goal.

    He got better, budrick

    It will never be right except at the bottom end and sometimes the squishy middle. There's a reason Henry was in Moneyball. For forty-one million, you built a playoff team. You lost Damon, Giambi, Isringhausen, Pena and you won more games without them than you did with them.

    It's somewhere 8-18th. I don't see him getting back to the tippy top again.

    Considering the increase in the CBT/luxury tax, Story and Lackey took up about the same available % of AAV, except Story got an extra year.

    Luxury Tax Limits: 2022: 230 (Sox were 4.5M over) 2017: 195 (Sox were 3M under) 2013: 178 (Sox were right at the CBT) Where's your smoking gun? All I see is the inflation of the luxury tax/CBT and player's contracts within that number.

    They'll sign late, but one of the musical chairs for those guys won't have the Red Sox logo on it.

    I think he can use trades to get a Bello-type. I think the hype surrounding Bello is a little overblown anyway. He's not a guy I'm extending unless it's for really cheap dollars. I think they can get a few #3's with what they have on the farm without really gutting anything.

    Gotta identify what talent is going to get better before they actually do!
  12. mvp 78
    Has Henry touched the orb?
  13. mvp 78
    Yuck!

    The controversy last time was that they selected Henry over McCourt. Talk about a bullet being dodged. McCourt should have never been given the Dodgers.
  15. mvp 78
    Nor should you.
  16. mvp 78
    Using "4th largest contract in history" is embarrassing as it ignores contract inflation across the league. Rob Refnsyder will make more in his career than Carl Yastrzemski. Last year: 12th in luxury tax payroll. This year: probably going to be worse. MIDMARKET TEAM.

    Nicer stadium with better food.
  18. mvp 78
    This team won because of Theo's legacy first and foremost. Of course it was the ownership group that ran him off!
  19. mvp 78
    It's part of the reason tickets are expensive and why they should build a new stadium that has more seats.
  20. mvp 78
    It's up to Crag to identify talent and work with Henry's financial constraints.
  21. mvp 78
    It means they are probably busy doing other stuff this AM. Maybe why there has been no FA news recently? IDK.
  22. mvp 78
    Need 1 or 2 of the guys I referenced to reach their ceiling or better. Maybe the new program can get something extra out of Perales, Wikelman, Monegro and Early. Time will tell. Right now, it doesn't look good though. Bloom was all about pitchability. Now, they are going in a different direction and it will take a while to get Crag guys to the MLB level.
  23. mvp 78
    ARB raises due for Pivetta, O'Neillll, McGuire and Schreiber at 1pm today. If they don't get done, it goes to arbitration and the $$$ most likely goes up and is a pain in the ass for both sides. Sox FO likes to mess around though.
  24. mvp 78
    What's your small business?
  25. mvp 78
    No, just players like Rowdy Tellez who can't hit their weight.
