    It depends on how you define "brought on board". $20 million is Bogaerts. Who do we "blame" that on (as if it's a bad contract)? This is all a bit silly, actually.

    Kimmi you should really treat yourself some time and check out the game threads when they lose. It's comedy gold. Some of the Yankee fans there are very pessimistic and also quite funny in their own way. They believe that Boone is a puppet who is being told what to do by Cashman and the "Kids in the Hall", a little crew of analytics guys parked in the corridor just outside the dugout.

    That plus the losses of Sale and E-Rod, made it a lost "season" and the right time to tank.

    It really worked well for CC in Game 4 of the 2018 ALDS. CC's postseason record against the Red Sox was 0-3, with a monstrous ERA. We also destroyed him in Game 1 and pivotal Game 5 of the 2007 ALCS. We owned his a$$ in other words.

    The Yankee fans on their forum think this team is horribly constructed and managed.

    Bring back Mazza!

    The 2012 team finished the season on an 18-42 run. So you only have to go back 8 years to find an even worse 60-game stretch than this.
  8. Bellhorn04
    But maybe other Red Sox teams have had worse 60 game stretches?

    Rusney "Forever Young" Castillo.

    Red Sox fans may be bidding an emotional farewell to Chris Mazza tonight.

    Atlanta has clinched their division, so at least it has no impact on the playoff situation (I don't think it does, anyway).
  12. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, I'm hoping we can go in another direction from that too.

    The problem with this idea is that Porcello and HanRam's 2016 seasons were far better than the seasons that came after as well. So 2016 was the big outlier for them. Randomness at its finest.

    JD deserves a pass for 2020 after his first 2 seasons. And his contract is still looking pretty good - for him for sure - hopefully for us too.
  15. Bellhorn04
    If it was some sort of misunderstanding, you'd think Henry would have made more of an effort to keep Ben around.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Masterson was coming off a horrible season. His numbers with Cleveland were very erratic. That whole rotation was a crapshoot. The results made it look like a bad idea.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Of course not. But it's clearly a significant part of the explanation for why Henry was compelled to bring in a guy like DD.
  18. Bellhorn04
    moon's W-L prediction was posted before we found out Sale and E-Rod were goners.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Still 15 games out of first place in 2015 though. Expectations were fairly high for that team after signing Hanley and Pablo and "rebuilding" the rotation with Porcello, Miley and Masterson-to go with Buchholz and Kelly. It was that 'Who's the ace?' rotation that made me seriously question Ben's thinking for the first time.
  20. Bellhorn04
    OK, replace that with "back-to-back last place finishes with one of the highest payrolls in baseball", then.
  21. Bellhorn04
    What I said was implausible was DD being hired only to replicate Lucchino's role.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Yes, I was going to mention those things myself. Maybe hiring DD was the proverbial last straw...
  23. Bellhorn04
    Maybe he did. Or maybe he was doing the diplomatic thing. We'll never know. But I think most people understand why Ben quickly moved on.
  24. Bellhorn04
    All that really matters is what Henry's intentions were. And those are pretty clear. He wanted DD to do DD things, and that's what happened.

    What's Chaim Bloom's title?
