    I see no possible way that can be good news.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, like 'coach's decision' on Malcolm Butler not playing in SB. That really put that to rest!
  3. Bellhorn04
    Nothing doesn't work. As soon as they hire Bloom, and don't spend any money on free agents, the media would have a pile of stories about how they were obviously cutting payroll to re-set.
  4. Bellhorn04
    But the media and fans don't accept silence either. There was a lot of complaining that the Sox didn't really explain why they fired DD. The whole mess started with Shaughnessy asking Henry point blank back in September about whether they intended to re-set the tax, or words to that effect.
  5. Bellhorn04
    notin is sort of assuming that Kopech and Allen will?
  6. Bellhorn04
    Looks like he Magoo'd the DH slot.
  7. Bellhorn04
    So what do you think they should have told the public about their real plans this offseason?
  8. Bellhorn04
    And what's funny is that Henry got slammed for every single thing he said, whether he said the re-set was coming or whether he said it might not be. Just as with the DD firing he got slammed for saying next to nothing. Red Sox media and fans have turned this kind of bitching into an art-form.
  9. Bellhorn04
    I thought what you were bitching about was the team's attempts to be competitive.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Since Henry bought the team they've had one of the highest payrolls every year. And won 4 titles, more than any other team in the same time period. How unethical!
  11. Bellhorn04
    No, but there are other Canadian accountants who are. In any case it's irrelevant to the factors that motivated the Red Sox to trade Betts.
  12. Bellhorn04
    And yet you're the one who thinks it's fine to mock a Canadian's knowledge of American tax law.
  13. Bellhorn04
    No kidding. Henry has never not spent on the team.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Much too young. RIP
  15. Bellhorn04
    Wow, you're even sillier than I realized. This is about baseball luxury tax, not American tax law.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, it wasn't about a musical. It was all about the tax and other penalties.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Elk doesn't have a great grasp of the payroll and tax part.
  18. Bellhorn04
  19. Bellhorn04
    You don't seem to understand the concept of a salary dump.
  20. Bellhorn04
    There might be an argument that he could have done better. Saying he got hosed is just plain dumb.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Last year the Rays used Ryne Stanek frequently as an opener (before trading him to Miami). Stanek is a fairly mediocre pitcher who somehow did well in that role.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Updated for Pillar signing and E-Rod arb award: 16.4 million under the 'cap' (might as well call it that, for the sake of brevity if nothing else).
  23. Bellhorn04
    That too. And what is the holdup with signing Buchholz?
  24. Bellhorn04
    You're hoping for too much there, and besides, with Verdugo on the IL to start the year, JBJ isn't going to be traded.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Well that's indescribably awful to hear. Sincere condolences.
