  1. We'll never know all the exact reasons. I suspect it was a combo of all the ones we're discussing.
  2. Like it or not, the work of a GM tends to get judged in hindsight. And in hindsight, DD did a pretty poor job this year. He signed Eovaldi and Pearce and that was basically it. He did next to nothing about starting pitching depth or the bullpen. And he put us in a position where the late season 'additions' to the lineup were Gorkys and Owings. I suspect that Henry was comparing this to what Cashman did, which was to provide incredible depth to a team that was decimated by injuries but still ran away with the division.
  3. Mark Melancon still doesn't like the bright lights.
  4. No upsets for you! (I saw your NL picks as well.)
  5. I thought you'd like to have the whole trifecta.
  6. I just can't see Cora being fired this offseason. The Red Sox have enough tumult going as it is. DD didn't replace Farrell when he took over - Farrell kept the job for 2+ more years.
  7. Terry was here 8 years though. That's an eternity in Red Sox manager years.
  8. Nationals and Cards. More fun to predict upsets.
  9. It's impossible for me to make an objective prediction about the Yankees. I like the Rays in 5 call though.
  10. I strongly doubt that Cora will be fired no matter who the new head honcho is.
  11. Yeah, plus that 4 championships thing. I have no complaints.
  12. Sounds like you are real sure, cp.
  13. You are the thread winner.
  14. The Rays might shock Houston.
  15. If you go by Porcello's ERA+ with Boston: 2015 87 #4 2016 142 #1 2017 98 #3 2018 103 #3 2019 87 #4
  16. And Girardi.
  17. Might as well throw in Showalter too.
  18. Run a poll. Why not?
  19. What was the effect of the penalties we got hit with when Ben was GM?
  20. I can't make any sense of Spotrac's tax numbers. Cot's info is much better IMO.
  21. The Astros are going to have some payroll issues of their own next year. They already have a 2020 projected payroll for tax purposes of $163 million, and that only covers 8 players, doesn't include any of the arb players.
  22. Well, I'm afraid we can't put you in the 'not complaining' group.
  23. Trading Iggy was pretty close to trading a top prospect, no? He was only 23 and in his rookie season, and under team control for 5 more years. It was a trade of the future for the present.
  24. 'Ideally', yes. But there is a big gap between the ideal and the real. Just take a look at Theo's farm system now. He's having the same issues as us.
  25. You didn't think we should have traded Iggy for him though.
