I just thought it was a good opportunity too use that quote from Yoda. I'm a big Yoda fan.

It's hit or miss. So is the draft. What strategy isn't? I keep coming back to the same thing: the Red Sox are, arguably, the most successful team since Henry bought the team, depending on how much weight you give to titles. And they have used free agency basically to the limit. And in spite of all the busts, many of those free agents have paid off hugely and can be linked directly to the titles.
-
Do, or do not. There is no try.
-
I couldn't disagree more. You can call it lazy or PR oriented or whatever you want. But please don't try to tell me a free agent signing like J. D. Martinez doesn't help you achieve the ultimate goal of winning titles. The trick, obviously, as with most things, is to use it judiciously.

The Astros have their own saying: 'Hitting is all about knowing what's coming.'

And the Committee of Four has its own problem. They've been having a lot of 2-2 deadlocks when they vote. They've decided they need to add a fifth member so it will be like the Supreme Court. But it's been taking some time finding a suitable candidate.

Things are moving slow because Bloom has to run all his ideas past the Committee of Four first. And if he gets past them, he has to deal with Sammy 'the Lip' Lucchino.

See any Kafka landmarks in Prague?
-
Bloomer needs to trade Price or Eovaldi. That's starting to look mandatory.
-
Anyone run the Bundy trade through the simulator?
-
Well, you've got me convinced, FWIW

Wheeler's 5/118 is only slightly less than Sale's extension, which is 5/128 in present value dollars.
-
Don't forget Kimbrel.
-
Exactly.
-
We shall see, Swami, we shall see.
-
Don't trade him, and in fact stop talking about trading him and wasting your time and everyone else's with a jillion proposals run through the Trade Simulator. That's my simple solution.
-
One idea we bandied about was that the Red Sox decision on whether to punt 2020 might be based on the report on Sale's health. Sale's report was good, so in theory they should be less likely to punt now.
-
Others have had the same complaint. Hasn't happened to me yet.
-
So we're trading Betts and Dalbec? This is just having fun with the trade simulator.
-
That's what I'm saying.
-
And now try to come up with an actual trade proposal that makes any sense.
-
Several of them.
-
A handful of fans on this website have called for it. A pretty high percentage of fans are stupid, I would never argue with that.
-
The trading and then trying to sign sounds OK in theory. But in reality there are plenty of s***** possibilities created by it too.

Bloom is rocking now!
