  1. Elk doesn't have a great grasp of the payroll and tax part.
  2. You don't seem to understand the concept of a salary dump.
  3. There might be an argument that he could have done better. Saying he got hosed is just plain dumb.
  4. 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.
  5. 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).
  6. That too. And what is the holdup with signing Buchholz?
  7. 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.
  8. Well that's indescribably awful to hear. Sincere condolences.
  9. And you literally have no idea what you're talking about.
  10. Waiting till the trading deadline would have meant paying 2/3 of Betts's salary this year, among other possible problems.
  11. Is that what the pundits are saying?
  12. Yeah, but you're just making blind assumptions that Bloom could have gotten a better deal than he did.
  13. Haste? Jesus, the trade didn't happen until players were already in camp.
  14. I was a bit surprised too. Maybe they were concerned that if they non-tendered him, he would say 'OK, f*** you guys', and sign somewhere else even if we offered the same money. Or maybe Henry really likes him? I just figure they considered all these things and had their reasons.
  15. Or when they didn't non-tender JBJ.
  16. I like to keep track of payroll numbers but I don't bitch about the front office decisions. Big difference.
  17. Does any of that matter to armchair budgetmeisters?
  18. I knew it would be you.
  19. The internet is f***ed. People post links to sites that can't be accessed all the time.
  20. Dearth...Freudian Magoo?
  21. Yeah, him and Casey Kelly.
  22. I guess the good news is you can pick up a decent player like Pillar for chump change. (And please don't anyone use that statement as a cue to point out again that JBJ is overpaid.)
  23. There was a free agent named Puig Who notin did greatly intrigue But the Red Sox declined Said 'Dude's out of his mind And price-wise he's out of our league'
