    The interesting question is, is this the end of the bubble? Does anyone think the KC Royals will be worth $10 billion in another 19 years?
  2. Bellhorn04
    The pencil-necked stat geeks that allegedly carry so much weight in today's front offices weren't crazy about big money for JD last time around. I can't see their opinions changing when he's a few years older.
  3. Bellhorn04
    I honestly don't think even DD would have traded Devers. I'm sure he got some asks for him...
  4. Bellhorn04
    Technically, Nick was just asking, not making a statement. Anyway, our Yankee fan friend just did a better job burying DD LOL. Bring on Eddie Romero!

    I don't think anyone said none of those players would be starting for the Sox this year. Obviously Moncada would be. Saying that Logan Allen is better than Brian Johnson ain't saying much, of course... I'm not saying that the losses won't be turn out to be significant. No one can say that at this point. But it is fair to say that the losses are largely potential ones, not realized ones.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Logan Allen *might* be a solid major league starter in 2020 but it's not really a lock.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Your point is valid but I think Nick's point is valid too. In the short term, i.e. to the end of 2019, the only losses of any significance in terms of major league production are Moncada (3.0 bWAR) and Margot (1.8 bWAR). That excludes Travis Shaw, who had fine seasons in 2017 and 2018 before a disastrous 2019. It'll be interesting to re-evaluate in the years to come...

    3 half-nails. 5.5 back.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, some folks get a little greedy.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Who says it is?
  11. Bellhorn04
    What happens to you if you're out?
  12. Bellhorn04
    That's just another big can of old school vs. new school worms. But a lot of guys with no playoff experience have done great in the playoffs, and the reverse is also true. And last year we saw David Price go from Mr. Chock to Mr. Clutch.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Losing Betts doesn't necessarily mean rebuild mode. After all, it would free up a lot of money to spend elsewhere.
  14. Bellhorn04
    But the 2018 Red Sox did not have much in the way of players with successful playoff resumes... Nor did the 2017 Astros or 2016 Cubs, I don't think.
  15. Bellhorn04
    I guess the Vegas boys have slightly thicker necks...
  16. Bellhorn04
    However, I would point out that those top 5 teams have a combined total of 1 championship this century.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Baseball-Reference hasn't updated this yet.

    It's an apples and oranges comparison no doubt. If you're a Red Sox fan it has to be Henry. He took over a team that had not won a title since 1918 - arguably the most famous drought in sports - and not only delivered that long-awaited title but now 4 of them.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Now as a neutralist, I think the True Believer/Non-Believer dichotomy is a bit silly...
  20. Bellhorn04
    No love for Lewis Black and Black Sabbath?
  21. Bellhorn04
    You'd have as much luck trying to herd cats. I actually think the best thing is if you have optimists and pessimists (and even neutralists, which is what I am, I think) who can get along with each other and respect each other's views. Which I believe we actually do have here.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Interestingly (or not), we have 3 players who are having substantially better offensive seasons than Mookie this year.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Let's see if we can clarify JD's contract for the benefit of everyone: 5 years 110 million 2018 23,750,000 2019 23,750,000 Can opt out after this year 2020 23,750,000 Can opt out after this year 2021 19,375,000 2022 19,375,000 If he opts out after 2019 he foregoes 3 years and 62.5 million. If he opts out after 2020 he foregoes 2 years and 38.75 million.
  24. Bellhorn04
    As he demonstrates again tonight. He's really putting up great back-to-back seasons for us.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Also if you Google 'Kevin Kiermaier catches' or 'Byron Buxton catches' you will find plenty of clips of their best grabs (as you will with JBJ catches).
