  1. What do you want for Walker? I've got a huge hole at second.
  2. Profess your love to Pedroia right goddamn now.
  3. That's why he's trying to apply a bunch of nonsense to this idea. "Time and value of money?" What the hell is he talking about? The only constant in current baseball economics is salary inflation. Dude just doesn't know what he's talking about.
  4. iortiz, you are trying to apply a bunch of out-of-subject ideas to this topic. That's why I say you don't know what you're talking about and you keep proving me correct.
  5. Or they would just handle Swihart differently because he's so young.
  6. I've got four closers, and a bunch of productive 1B. Who wants to trade?
  7. Because he doesn't really understand what he's talking about here, as I stated before.
  8. Waiting on email to make payment.
  9. a700, your email please so I can send payment.
  10. Need a700's email to send payment.
  11. These posts prove that you don't understand baseball economics, WAR, or pitcher value, and I say that without a hint of malice. You just don't know what you're talking about.
  12. Year of the injured catcher. What a costly f***ing HBP.
  13. How exactly do you know this?
  14. This is also a concept that should not be so foreign.
  15. This is actually pretty funny. I chuckled. Well done.
  16. I really, really, really like Smyly.
  17. The current value of a win exceeds 7 million and it's rising. 2.5 WAR right now should translate to nearly 18 million in value, possibly reaching that number next year. If the Sox overpaid Porcello's market value by around 3-4 million per in order to slice the contract by two full years relative to what the market is yielding for pitcher of his production and ability, that's great business considering the volatility of starting pitching. I don't understand why this concept is so difficult to grasp, especially considering this has been the Sox' M.O for a couple of years now, and with a good logical base behind it. What's not to like? You minimize risk by overpaying in a way that's going to minimize future contractual obligations while barely impacting a payroll of this magnitude.
  18. Yeah, because you're a pessimist. We get it.
  19. It's April. No one is "the best" of anything yet.
  20. Because that's the way it is. It's not rocket science.
  21. The whole bet thing is idiocy. Give it a f***ing rest.
  22. Fixed
  23. Now tell me how the Porcello extension is so stupid. THAT is a stupid contract.
