  1. I meant 2011 is why he's unpopular with Sox fans.
  2. Nope. Goes without saying they have to spend some.
  3. So you're on record that 2021 is a definite punt?
  4. So you're assuming we have no chance in 2021.
  5. That's exactly what I meant.
  6. I'd be much more than surprised.
  7. But not for Ryan Dempster. Then there were John Smoltz and Brad Penny at 5 million apiece. Just look at our track record of signing cheap back end starters, maybe. And I'm not being argumentative about it, just making friendly conversation.
  8. Bloom might think he was a bit undervalued. We don't really know what he's thinking about it. But we'll know soon enough.
  9. I think it was your comment that "I don't see a reason to keep him around" that may have triggered this dreadful misunderstanding.
  10. I think the frequency of Tommy John surgeries shows that the structure of human arm ligaments does not match up well with what being a pitcher asks them to do.
  11. Maybe because throwing a baseball harder falls in the unnatural strain category. Throwing baseballs has always done an extraordinary amount of damage to pitchers' arms. So many careers have been ended early by injury. And a guy like Nolan Ryan has always been a true exception, a physical freak.
  12. I'm with you 100%. Also, Perez was one of Bloom's signings, and I think he might be inclined to like him.
  13. Need some explanation. Why is having 3 left handers necessarily an issue?
  14. What's the big deal - it was too left-handed in 2018 too.
  15. Certainly questionable. But when they made the trade, they still had 63.3% of this weird season left.
  16. I would hazard a guess that very few baseball executives in history have inherited a tougher short-term situation than Bloom did. On the flip side I imagine he got a nice raise from his Tampa pay.
  17. It's actually a pretty good job by Rosenthal in analyzing the possible implications of the contract IMO.
  18. He'll be AC's bench coach again next year.
  19. Weirdly enough, Workman blew his first game with the Phils.
  20. Oh well. I can retire for the season now with a .600 record.
  21. You think a lot like I do. Maybe it's a Canadian thing.
  22. You know Manfred - always thinking of the kids!
