  1. Asaide AJ, this is the Lup I was expecting this offseason. I don't expect other major move. They are going to use this year to value their young talent. Probably this Lup won't be the best O in baseball again, but we will be fine I guess. What we need is that our rotation at least post last year numbers. The BP will be the best part of the team if they stay healthy. I expect a 89-91 W team as assembled. We'll see.
  2. Don't worry… niether of them is coming to Boston. On the other hand I have read that Tanaka is a stud and that he will not have problems to succeed at MLB level. Who the hell knows... we just have to wait and see, if he is something between Ryu and Darvish call it deal.
  3. Well, it is simply the most popular and played sport in this planet.
  4. Or a package around one of them ( I had put that, but I edited it hahaha)
  5. Also they could use Ichiro/Wells as trade chips, IDK
  6. 6M?, nahhhh no big deal for our FO, they have wasted tons more, and at least this contract seems that is going to work it out.
  7. What you need is pitching. At least 3 arms and probably a closer/setup IMO. I wouldn't be surprised if Papelbon was traded to NYY. I fully expect the NYY with the highest payroll in baseball again. We'll see.
  8. Pretty good contract.
  9. I think they are going to add another power bat.
  10. Bien!
  11. My bad, Thanks Mike.
  12. USA is not going to be easy for Portugal and Germany. Gahana is not going to be easy either. This is not an easy group at all. If USA wants to advance, they must to win against Gahana and at least tie vs Protugal and do not accept too many goals against Germany.
  13. If Mexico plays the 5th game I will call it WorldCup. We have participated and advanced to the next stage in every Worldcup since USA 94'. Vamos carajo!
  14. Well, these are my predictions. A Brasil, Mexico. B Spain, Netherlands. C Colombia, Japon. D Uruguay, Italy. E France, Ecuador. F Argentina, Nigeria. G Germany Portugal. H Belgium, Russia. Groups of death: G, D, B. In that order. Balanced: H (anyone can win) Unbalanced: F (Argentina and Nigeria will advance easily). Brasil, Argentina, Germany and Spain to semifinals. Brasil wins the Worldcup against Argentina.
  15. Hate to play against the host country, but aside Brasil, Mexico has good chances vs Camerún y Croacia
  16. I clearly remember that we already discussed this with ORS and by the time I showed him the same figure from Frorbes but it was the Red Sox one. That figure showed red numbers. ORS's argument was that it DIDN'T include the TV rights income. While the discussion was totally different the figure and the footnote was the same at the time.
  17. It says "Net of stadium revenues used for debt payments". I understand from this, that part of that "stadium revenue" is used to pay debt payments but doesn't include TV incomes.
  18. Few things. As part of the deal, the rights fee will begin at $85 million in 2013 and will hit $350 million a year by 2042. In addition, Fox paid the Yankees a $400 million one-time fee. Also you have to consider the profit/year they are making since they still hold the 27% of YES. When you sum all the lines, their income look like very juicy. Secondly, and regardless how much is that TV income, they clearly put in the foot notes that the revenue regards only to "stadium revenues" which make me think that you still have to add the TV rights + the Fox fee + annual profit since they still hold the 27% of the RSN.
  19. nope, USD (They signed with Televisa and recently with Univision), reason why I don't think the NYY are only making 200 MUSD via TV .
  20. I'm gonna dig a bit more when I have time but I hardly believe it. Also in the notes they clearly regard the revenues only to "stadium revenues". To put this is context, Las chivas rayadas de Guadalajara (Mexican soccer team) are making around 200 M via TV and they are far to be NYY.
  21. I do not think they are including it. In the notes they only say "Net of stadium revenues used for debt payments." Also, If the income via tickets/beverage/food/etc "stadium revenues" is above TV as some suggest, Do you believe that they are making say… only +-200 M via TV?
  22. Since it is not a public company I have no idea. Sure, forbes provides you a decent outside-in but sometimes their analysis are far to be accurate in real life. Either way… what I understand is that only the on-field product generates 471 in 2012, isn't it?. if so... Aside their players expenses, the other costs are symbolic. Assuming this is right, even a 400 M payroll team is not an issue considering that you still have to add the TV revenue, which I assume is a juicy business. These days a 18%-20% profit business is a very good point of start if you ask me. IMO the nyy business is far above that % the way I see the thing.
  23. If the TV revenue at least matches the "team" revenue (which I doubt it, I believe it is a lot more), then… even a 300 MUSD team is not an issue at all.
  24. Seems like they are not including the TV revenue which is their major income, isn't it?
