Don't take wrong. I liked what he did here regardless whether he assembled the teams or not, but also you just can't hide how he turned this team into a cancer. We had to move on, and we did, things were out of hands in his last years. It is what it is.
-
Working Undercover? Wow!. Well... Hopefully everything is fine with you, and soon you can rejoin with your family.
-
Probably of a player or Fenway but a picture of a GM? Really? LOL! A kid doesn't give a s*** who is running the team and even a lot of adults neither, trust me. Thing is, if the Cubs sign Tanaka, it is going to be on TE, no the GM, no the owner, TE. For good or for bad. Where's the crusade if Tanaka turns into a good deal? I know UN? Loves TE (probably you too), but this is getting ridiculous man. On the other hand, IMO it would be a stupid move for a team like the Cubs which is not in a position to win anything at all in arguably 2-3 years. Why to put on a financial risk an organization not with 100 M but 200 M with an unproven kid RIGHT NOW? Why?. It doesn't make sense to me at all. Also while we won 2 WS under his tenure (with a team that he didn't assemble, but that's ok), his horrible track record on FA signings among other things put his ass out of Boston, and probably will happen again in Cub land if he doesn't right the ship. Time will tell though.
-
If they sign Tanaka and the guy posts the numbers he is expected to post (#1 type) and most of their roster stay healthy, IMHO the NYY will be a lot better next year and a legit contender to win the division.
-
Heeeey how are you doing SCM33? Exactly, sounds like MC 2.0, and mostly if he goes to an AL team.
-
A pic of BC or TE pissing pure excellence in my bedroom? No way! LOL!
-
My crusade against TE? Hahahaha Nahhhh. It's not my fault that you have a picture of him and BC in your bedroom "pissing excellence" LOL! If you think that the Tanaka move (if so) will be on the GM, you are fooling yourself.
-
In the end he will be the main responsible for this move, for good or for bad.
-
200/8? Oh Theo boy!. LOL!
-
Also IMO Samardzija is so overrated. I don't like the guy at all. I clearly remember a game vs Philly which he was destroyed and others. I wouldn't pay a haul of top prospects for this guy at all, and I don't see that happening either, we'll see though.
-
Yup, but teams like NYY or LAD and even the Sox are in a totally different situation. They are arguably 1 or 2 players away to win it all on paper.
-
Thing is, this guy has zero track record in the mlb under his belt. If the name were Kershaw, Fernandez, and few other ace type young players I would understand the strategy though. IMO this move would be too risky if the cubs signed him… it could put them in an horrendous financial situation again if he turned into a D-K 2.0
-
Well, if you have pushers who are really contenders and also have the money, there's no incentive to go to cubbie land. Cubs are not even close to win anything at all in arguably 2-3 years. why would you bother spending 100+ M in an unproven guy now? it doesn't make sense at all. Spend it when you are at least in a position to be a legit contender.
-
This. I don't see anyone offering this agin. We'll see though.

How can I practice baseball throwing accuracy alone?

lol! -
Baseball payrolls are insane.
-
IMO they will be fine. On the other hand an extra arm would be nice.
-
You have Carp, Gomes, Nava, Vic, JBJ; probably we need an extra arm… but IMO We'll be fine.
-
BTW, Doji said that JBJ's ceiling is De Jesus, didn't he? LOL!… he is the floor man!
-
agreed, but I fully expect a 330+ OBP at least next year, we'll see.
-
Bradley is going to be better than Ells, I'm telling you.

Is Shin Soo Choo worth 18m per year for the Red Sox?
iortiz replied to vjcsmoke's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Put him on ignore and don't lose time getting angry if you are going to bitch about his posts by default. -
Is Shin Soo Choo worth 18m per year for the Red Sox?
iortiz replied to vjcsmoke's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
While I think he wanted to stay in Boston at almost all costs, the key was that everybody thought that Cano was going to resign with the NYY and other than Seattle and arguably a couple of teams more, nobody would have paid him more IMO. As I said, thanks God, we are not in that situation. -

iortiz replied to vjcsmoke's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Hell, thanks God he already resigned. He signed for 110 M, didn't he? Imagine him as a FA these days… I bet the NNY would have offered him a 140-150M contract. The 1 M question is, would he have turned down a contract like that? I doubt it. -
As I said, If he is something between Darvish and Ryu, call it deal. On the other hand, if he turns into a D-Matsuzaka 2.0, that contract will be a disaster. He's young and I have read great things about him (reason why tons of teams have showed interest); seems like he has the stuff to be at least a #2, IDK, only time will tell.
