    But the question is what were the alternatives that year. We had to upgrade the starting pitching significantly, and the only options were free agency or trade.

    Price's 217 million was a huge risk, of course. Mookie's ask of 420 million was virtually double that. Or it was Price's 217 million plus another 203 million on top of that.

    How about names that you get mixed up? Here's a pair for me: Tanner Roark Tanner Houck

    Well, there was that tweet with the re-set button.

    Middy gave us all a serious phobia about hitters of his breed, and Chavis has made it worse.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Some of us are weird and get our jollies letting our imaginations run wild.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Not bad!
  8. Bellhorn04
    It's quite possible that when Mookie's contract was discussed by Sox brass, they decided they would be better off sinking the $350-400 million into pitching.

    5 dingers in his first 35 PA's. It'll be a tough pace to maintain.

    Where anybody with an ERA below 6 is an upgrade...
  11. Bellhorn04
    The low bar effect.
  12. Bellhorn04
    On the Yankee fan forum, they were talking about Cashman addressing the team, and one guy says "Someone needs to address Cashman."
  13. Bellhorn04
    His strikeout rate has plummeted though.
  14. Bellhorn04
    D'oh! I am losing touch.
  15. Bellhorn04
    And Buttrey is struggling right now.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, it's my understanding that was Port's. Maybe we should have kept him around as an advisor or something.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Not that I know of. Roenicke is starting to have a little fun now.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Theo, Ben and DD brought us 4 titles. And yet the best homegrown starting pitcher they've given us so far is Buchholz. That's pretty weird and amazing.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Nice to see poor Lin get a couple of hits.
  20. Bellhorn04
    He certainly wasn't a genius, no. He paid heavily for Sale, Price and Kimbrel. His approach got us a championship followed by a c***f. Another GM might have made completely different moves to get pitching, which might have worked or might not have. The one thing I question, and which is still not really determinable, is how strong that farm was that Ben left, in terms of actual future MLB production.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Yes. I mean, we could sit Devers for the rest of the season so he doesn't get hurt. Other teams that are out of it could do the same. Wouldn't be good for the game.
  22. Bellhorn04
    But it wasn't really that good, as it was. (Now I've done it.)
  23. Bellhorn04
    There's a lot of X factor in the value of what DD left - especially with Sale, of course.
  24. Bellhorn04
    I think Dombrowski had a fine season in 2018. Hiring Cora, signing JDM to a reasonable deal, and then the deadline acquisitions of Eovaldi, Pearce and Kinsler.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I would prefer to give a Benintendi a chance to rebound in 2021. As for Barnes, who knows. He might be cooked. Or maybe he needs to be moved to a lower leverage spot next year. We're desperately short on bullpen arms, needless to say. You're probably not going to get very good value in return if you trade them this offseason.
