    ....while making hundreds of thousands of dollars and having a job only 30 people in the whole world possess. Part of the reasoning (spitballing here) is that, like you say, he's better suited to a team that's actually rebuilding. He's not an automaton, he's a living, breathing person. If you know this, what makes you think he doesn't? If he didn't think he could find another FO job that granted him the same authority and power, do you think he would have left? Also, you do remember the existence of Larry Lucchino right? He didn't decide on the purchase of *all* of the groceries before either.

    Apples and spaceships comparison.

    Are you seriously taking the beginning-of-year MLB SSS regarding Swihart's defensive skills over the scouting reports and his entire body of work?
  4. User Name
    But it was still his decision. He could have stayed. Them's the facts.

    That doesn't matter one iota. The fact is, that they didn't fire him. The POBO/GM model is making the rounds at MLB because a lot of teams recognize that a team with a guy at the top signing off on most major operational moves and a guy below with knowledge of draft/player development is better than concentrating all of the responsibility on the GM. And still, facts are facts, and the fact is that BC was not fired. People can make their tinfoil hat stories up as much as they want, but that's what happened.

    Except for the simple (and very important) fact that Ben Cherington was not fired. Let's at least get our facts straight.

    Swihart is an above-average catcher right now who should continue to improve. That said, Vasquez is a generational talent defensively.

    Bogaerts is not that good? That's a joke right.
  9. User Name
    Except that no one actually knows how HR and Panda will actually play next season. Both could improve, or both could erode further and turn the infield D into an F. There's just no way to know.

    Dansby Swanson is the centerpiece. Not so weak actually.
  11. User Name
    Call him up and ask him, why don't you.

    Castro deal has been agreed upon, but the players going from the Yanks to the Cubs have not been announced.

    This is a precursos to the acquisition of another starter IMO.
  14. User Name
    Love Miley, but Smith is a good get. Massive upside. Elias is useful.
  15. User Name
    He only has a year of control left and has a hefty price tag, so I'm not surprised.

    Dodgers get Iwakuma. Good get.

    None of us know if the extension was worth it until he actually pitches the seasons the extension covers.

    Welcome to the club.
  19. User Name
    I was agreeing with you.

    ....on a year where the extension hadn't even kicked in yet. There's still very much a possibility that Porcello lives up to his contract.

    6/9, since JBJ is a lefty. And i'd love to see them try to catch lightning in a bottle with Lee.
  22. User Name
    But if they sign Cespedes, who do they move, and for what pitcher?
  23. User Name
    Oh noez, a700 and Elktonnick don't like me! I shall commit double seppuku. Life isn't worth living anymore.
  24. User Name
    But in your case, Buchholz is your new Beltre.
  25. User Name
    I used Happ as a comp because he did not cost draft pick compensation either.
