    Anyway, the parallels between the Jeter/ARod situation and the Devers/Bregman situation can't be lightly dismissed at this point. The Yankees handled it with zero evident drama but plenty of outside criticism. The Sox are quickly loading up on the drama part.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Jeter did have one other strength - he was sure-handed and had a low error rate. The stats certainly bear out that his range was abysmal.
  3. Bellhorn04
    In hopes of getting juicy quotes, presumably.
  4. Bellhorn04
    On what are you basing the "wholly disliked by Cora"?
  5. Bellhorn04
    I don't disagree with the general point that Jeter at short was not the best arrangement. I just don't think Sox fans are in any position to accuse the Yanks of not caring about winning. The Yanks haven't been under .500 since 1992. The Sox have done it 6 times since 2012. I hate the Yanks but I respect numbers.

    I'm getting mighty confused here. How could Abreu and Duran possibly be a platoon when they're both lefty hitters? You're talking about fielding platoons?
  7. Bellhorn04
    Abreu and Duran will definitely never be a platoon.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Fine, but you were clearly using the fact they only won one ring to validate your point.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Yeah right, because the playoffs have no crapshoot factor. Forget the regular season records. Only one ring = proof positive!
  10. Bellhorn04
    This piece is pure garbage. When Jeter stayed at short, did that demonstrate the Yanks didn't care about winning?
  11. Bellhorn04
    And loudly proclaimed that trading Arenado was a big priority, and failed to get it done.
  12. Bellhorn04
    And the Cardinals got a solid F from The Athletic for their offseason work.
  13. Bellhorn04
    The way us modern fans have been conditioned to think. Hoping players will play great so they will build trade value or opt out.
  14. Bellhorn04
    The fuss is over the top, but the "who plays where" riddles are real.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Boosting the post count is not all bad! 😁
  16. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, he's just naturally a big man. He's not Pablo.
  17. Bellhorn04
    I'm disappointed you could say such a thing. Because the AAV is 31.7...
  18. Bellhorn04
    And benching Devers hurts the team, so that ain't a very smart solution IMHO. The goal is to win as many games as possible, not to mete out discipline based on principle. It's up to Cora to manage the situation.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Right, but this is about the team, and whether they did the right thing or the wrong thing waiting until Bregman or Arenado was officially acquired before addressing the 3B situation with Raffy.
  20. Bellhorn04
    I'm going to speculate that no player in MLB has a contract that guarantees in writing which position he will play, whenever he plays, for the length of the contract.
  21. Bellhorn04
    I think this is an excellent observation. They had no way of knowing if they'd be landing Bregman or Arenado or not. There was apparently a LOT of doubt that Bregman would sign with us.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, who knows is the correct answer. How Bloom could promise Raffy he'd be third baseman until the contract expires at the end of 2033 is another 'who knows'. I'm not really blaming anyone here. I expect the last 2 seasons of horrible defensive numbers for the team as a whole played a huge part in this process, and I think that makes sense.
  23. Bellhorn04
    He pitched basically a whole year with it. It's one of them tricky ones.
  24. Bellhorn04
    We can live with one Keller/Horn for 5-10 innings of garbage time. That's it! 🙂
  25. Bellhorn04
    Holy crap. They might have to trade him.
