    Well, one thing Ben did not bequeath to DD was much in the way of major league pitching.
  2. Bellhorn04
    What was the other bidding war you're referring to?
  3. Bellhorn04
    Your approach would appear to entail a complete repudiation of the 'playoffs are a crapshoot' premise.
  4. Bellhorn04
    I'm just trying to evaluate the contract itself, forgetting about what we gave up in prospects. It was definitely a good contract for the Sox, with only 2 years guaranteed for a total of 24 mill, plus a team option for 13 mill.
  5. Bellhorn04
    The only win for the Sox is a lower payroll. The team will be worse. As for JD's payday, remember he only got 5 years at AAV 22 million when he was 2 years younger. Now he's 32.

    Kimbrel's contract was a very favorable one, when we saw what Chapman and Jansen got. And they obviously intended to upgrade the rotation. Not sure why the order they made the acquisitions in matters.
  7. Bellhorn04
    But how would you have made the 2016 and 2017 teams significantly better?
  8. Bellhorn04
    OK, I'll bite. How would you have had 3 parades?
  9. Bellhorn04
    Yep. Just get ready for a 72-90 2020.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Sale, Price, Eovaldi, and Johnson/Lakins/Weber/whoever. I see nothing that could go wrong. Do you?

    Porcello had an awful season. Like Dewey, I don't really think he's a 5.5 ERA pitcher and I won't be surprised if he bounces back nicely next year. It's his durability that will really be missed. He's a guy you never have to worry about taking the ball every 5th day - a very rare commodity now.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Neither are worth anything LOL
  13. Bellhorn04
    You are a nutjob.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Adios, 2019 season and game threads. There will be plenty to talk about before the next season starts.
  15. Bellhorn04
    This Chandler Shepherd pitching for the O's is a guy we cut loose in May and has had horrible numbers this year.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Magoo post LOL To be precise: 4 AL East titles 2 AL titles 2 parades
  17. Bellhorn04
    It seems to go with the territory when you're a Sox fan, though. We saw our team go from last to champs to last only a few years ago.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I'm not convinced about the 5-6 year thing. Henry is smart enough to know that some unforeseeable stuff with the pitching went wrong this year and derailed our chances.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Agreed, it does depend on how you define success. We're not in a horrible position, is what I mean. As long as Henry and Werner are still deeply committed to the team, as long as they make a good pick to run operations, as long as that person makes good decisions, and, as you said, as long as we get lucky... Bottom line, there are good reasons for hope. Whether the hopes are fulfilled only time will tell.
  20. Bellhorn04
    But if the decisions made going forward are really smart, we should be OK.
  21. Bellhorn04
    I would argue that in 2016, 2017 and 2018 it was worth it. 3 straight division titles in a tough division is no small feat. And winning one ring in 3 shots is a pretty good deal too. Winning any titles at all is not that easy.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Olney and Rosenthal are fairly high up the food chain as reporters, but they know that it never hurts to play up the dirt a little.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Buster Baloney, as our old friend Softlaw called him.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Man we've seen some bad pitching this year.
  25. Bellhorn04
    And the final word on Chacin is: Yuck!
