    The Dodgers and Yankees both had 'closer issues' last year. Save leaders Phillips and Holmes had both lost the closer job by playoff time. Having a reliable Mr. Lockdown is nice, but it's not a make or break thing.

    Which reportedly inspired John Henry, watching in the stands, to the best line of his career as a baseball owner: "Can I fire him right now?"
  3. Bellhorn04
    By all accounts he's a real pro. I don't think he would have stuck around unless he was ready to give it a 100% effort. So obviously I'm taking the Polly side on this one. 😁

    It's gonna be an interesting spring to say the least.
  5. Bellhorn04
    I'm not saying they're not true, it's the relevance part I'm questioning.
  6. Bellhorn04
    I'm not a big fan of the arguments that he was contemplating retirement and it might be his last year...
  7. Bellhorn04
    Well, I have to agree with moon that Refsnyder should get as many PA's against lefties as possible.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Reason for the focus: In the 119 they were 64-55 In the 43 they were 17-26 Random noise or meaningful stat nugget? I honestly don't know.
  9. Bellhorn04
    David Robertson fits the bill, and is for some reason still available.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Unfortunately, Roster Destruction, AKA injuries, often has a big say in these decisions, too.
  11. Bellhorn04
    I can't say it's anything special. I've heard it used here plenty LOL
  12. Bellhorn04
    I'm sure I'll get sick of hearing Roster Construction, but it does beat Bridge Year or Full Throttle, I guess.
  13. Bellhorn04
    I'm pretty agnostic about it, frankly. There are a lot of questions no one has the answer to yet, starting with whether they have any intention of moving Devers off third. I do have some confidence in Breslow and Cora to figure things out more rationally than any of us.
  14. Bellhorn04
    If Devers, Casas and Yoshida are all healthy, and Bregman replaces Devers at third, there's no room for all 3 in the lineup. I get your argument that Yoshida would be a good insurance policy against injury, but that's the only argument I can see in favor of keeping him under this scenario.
  15. Bellhorn04
    It's not the only option, but it's certainly the most obvious one. Most Sox fans would rather move Yoshida than Casas.
  16. Bellhorn04
    it's as simple as that. If we're going to move Devers off third, something has to give.
  17. Bellhorn04
    A loophole is generally defined as an unforeseen weakness in a law that gets exploited. I don't think it applies here. There are logical reasons for projecting him as a #6 starter type. It's all just guesswork, of course. But i don't think there's any deliberate intent to harm his value...
  18. Bellhorn04
    OK, so we'd have to take a closer look at how they valued Crawford. But I don't see it as unfair that Crawford's status as a starter or reliever is still somewhat up the air. I don't think that's necessarily a 'loophole'.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, if I had to put money on it, I'd have to go with Castillo being a bit better than Crawford the next 3 years.
  20. Bellhorn04
    What 3 pitching prospects? I'm only talking about the actual BTV proposal that was linked. It was moon who said he'd include Priester and Fitts and I said that was going overboard.
  21. Bellhorn04
    I'm not expecting BTV to provide insights, notin. They do numbers. Are their numbers wrong? Yoshida's underwater contract is the main driver behind the deal for the Sox. Obviously no one would just swap Crawford for Castillo.
  22. Bellhorn04
    According to BTV the proposed deal was a fair swap. Do we think BTV is a credible tool or not? You could actually cut down the proposal to Crawford + Yoshida for Diddlesquat and it would work.
  23. Bellhorn04
    On the other hand I don't think "they'll just pocket the money" is a very good argument for not moving him if a reasonable deal was to present itself.
  24. Bellhorn04
    moon is now prepared to give up multiple pitching prospects to be rid of him. That really seems like overstating the problem.
  25. Bellhorn04
    That seems a little overboard. Priester and Fitts could be important rotation depth.
