  1. You could say he lacks patience, I guess. But GM's are a lot like players, really. Ideally you want to get the best out of them and then move on. I really believe that's the case here.
  2. Yes, I'm afraid there might be some negativity on the game threads. :D
  3. Does anyone else see the uncanny similarity to the departure of our previous DD, Dan Duquette?
  4. I never said he was elite. Nice try with moving the goalposts.
  5. Yeah, we'll just have to survive somehow. Can't really complain about the 4 rings since '04 though...
  6. In 2018 he had a bWAR of 3.1. Nice try with the innings thing though.
  7. Yep, that's part of the Manfred Missile effect.
  8. Shaughnessy's original article did mention that DD seemed to have become cut off from the organization outside of Larussa and Wren. But also cited Sale and Eovaldi as baseball reasons.
  9. But is that guaranteed? The Orioles are not exactly a model organization these days, but I have to think they had some legitimate reasons for dealing Machado at the deadline instead of in the offseason.
  10. Well, there are a couple of other big things about the starters: 1) Sale was signed to that extension in spite of all the injury concerns and it doesn't look good. 2) DD's big acquisition was Eovaldi and that doesn't look good either.
  11. There are actually 4 scenarios: 1) Extend this offseason. 2) Trade this offseason. 3) Trade at deadline. 4) Keep and try to re-sign as free agent.
  12. It's a bit odd that we pretty much know in advance that JBJ's arb award will be too high. But the real question is, how much could he realistically expect to get in free agency if we non-tender him?
  13. PC would be Administrator, Coffee Operations.
  14. Swiharts Ghost's offer is not unreasonable.
  15. The Manfred Missile might also get a makeover for 2020 after all the mostly negative chatter about it...
  16. I honestly don't know what the duties of a President/GM who isn't the de facto decision maker are. What does Jed Hoyer do as GM of the Cubs?
  17. The Red Sox are #6 in home runs and #3 in the more important runs scored category in MLB. Pitching is the bigger concern.
  18. I don't think the President/GM name tag matters. It's who is the de facto decision maker on personnel.
  19. He laughed at the Yankees? I'd like to see the actual quotes on that.
  20. I think it's not all about blame by any means. It's about who is best suited for the team with its present and future situations.
  21. Yes, but we want The List and we want it accurate as heck!
  22. Correction: most think he was worth his money for 2015-2018. Obviously not this year.
  23. Thanks moon. This is a good place to start. Some of the guys on those lists are not FA's, of course.
  24. I actually think the timing of this was exactly right. JH shows again that he doesn't ness around.
  25. And I'm not trying to be a pain the ass about it, but it would be cool to see a list of available guys with: 1) Estimated 2020 salary. 2) 2019 UZR/150 or some other defensive rating.
