You guys keep amusing yourselves with fantasies of fancy multi-player deals...
-
That sounds good, but in the meantime, what a snooze. I'm practically drooling on myself now.
-
I would agree.
-
Screw the bad contract trades. We need to find another team willing to pay Price 54 million or more. If no such team exists, might as well forget the re-set for 2020.
-
I agree.
-
Grady was going to have to use the bullpen in that game eventually. I don't think even Grady planned to have Pedro throw 155 pitches like Luis Tiant did in Game of the 1975 WS.
-
Wait till next decade!
-
Beeks had a 6.49 ERA and a 1.77 WHIP after the ASB last year. I don't think he's actually all that good.
-
2020 projections (from B-R) Kopech 61 IP 4.57 ERA Beeks 85 IP 4.55 ERA Allen 54 IP 4.83 ERA Those numbers are just stabs in the dark, obviously, but it shows what unknown quantities they are.

What does Tony Clark propose to do about teams that elect to tank? Does he have any good ideas or just negative rhetoric?
-
No, I was riding the gravy train like everyone else. I don't think DD did a bad job, personally. But I still like the move to Bloom at this point.
-
No problem. Just give us 60 million and whatever low-level prospect you can dredge up.
-
The four WS wins have taken the sting out for me. I just find it's impossible to resist revisiting those occasions. You certainly don't forget them or how tragic they seemed at the time. The 1978 playoff game was the worst for me. I was crushed.
-
Well, there's always the other explanation, which is that Dombrowski was isolated and hard to get along with. Take your pick.
-
I think when push comes to shove, MLB players know they have it pretty damn good compared to other pro athletes, regardless of the PR rhetoric.
-
I mis-read your post. I thought you were asking if we need one in January 2020.
-
I'm not saying blow it up, nothing even close to that.
-
It's a team that needs payroll reduced below 208 mill.
-
Yep. But the way things are set up, the chicken salad can turn to chicken s*** really fast now.
-
Yes.
-
It has declined marginally. 2017 4.45 2018 4.41 2019 4.38 I'll bet anything it's higher in 2020 than in 2019. The highest contract for a pitcher just went from 217 mill to 324 mill. And look at the arb raises Mookie and E-Rod are expected to get. The younger players thing is being offset a lot by the higher arb salaries.
-
For those who would have left Pedro in, let's say he did get Posada out on that pitch. He's at 123 pitches with still 4 more outs to get, and the next hitter was Giambi, who has homered twice in the game. Would you leave Pedro in to face Giambi?
-
Let's see what the average salary is for 2020. I'm guessing it will be the highest ever after this offseason's signings and arb raises.
-
It can be debated until doomsday, I guess. But Posada's hit was on Pedro's 123rd pitch of the night, and it was the Yankees 4th hit in a row. Jeter's double might have been misplayed by Nixon. But the single by Williams was solidly struck, and the double by Matsui was a rocket.
-
It's my personal belief that the main reason DD was replaced is because we need a rebuilder now.
