  1. That's one way to look at it but I don't think it's necessarily correct. I would much rather have picks 1 and 31 than picks 30 and 60. It's pretty much the same as having pick 1 instead of pick 60 when you look at it this way.
  2. Henry worst owner? That is absurd, hilarious and many other similar adjectives.
  3. The last-place team gets the first pick in each round (setting aside the sandwich rounds after the first round). The first-place team gets the last pick in each round. So the last place team gets picks 1, 31, 61 etc. First place team gets picks 30, 60, 90 etc.
  4. But Sandoval's 5 million buyout was already counted in 2015-2019 payroll for tax purposes because it was part of the 95 million guaranteed value.
  5. Castillo, Sandoval and Pedroia were all left over from Ben, of course.
  6. That counts against the cap.
  7. I think they will definitely hold on to DHern.
  8. Johnson has a 2.07 WHIP. The fact we're still using him to start games just shows how desperate we are.
  9. It doesn't count against the 2020 cap. It was already counted in because it was part of the guaranteed money in the contract.
  10. No. The answer would be too obvious if that was the case.
  11. Well, we did have Johnson last year. The 2018 version was much more useful, of course.
  12. When it comes to those starters, we are between the proverbial rock and hard place. You can either hope that Sale, Price and Eovaldi come back to form or you can try to trade them and eat a pile of money in the process. With the latter you also have to replace them. My guess is we hope.
  13. With boatloads of baserunners. He's been fortunate not to give up more runs in those games.
  14. Probably something like 8 * 32.5 = 260.
  15. Yes, the state of the rotation is the most obvious reason why it's impossible. The strange thing is, our last 3 losses have been mainly the fault of the offense.
  16. I have no idea what the team is going to do about Mookie. It's almost hard to believe that we're facing the prospect of him being in another team's uniform for the last 8 or 10 years of a likely HOF career, but it's a very real possibility.
  17. The best I can say for our chances is that all the nails haven't been driven into the coffin yet. I wish I could do an entertaining graphic representation of the coffin and remaining nails, but I lack those skills.
  18. Brasier did have a few nasty ones. He has hung in there and pitched pretty well lately, FWIW.
  19. The odd thing is, Workman has been excellent since basically becoming the closer. And the pen in general has been excellent in August. And yet, we're a dismal 11-12 in August. Why? Because our rotation is basically a shell. What else can explain that 11-12 record with such good relief pitching?
  20. For a man who is regularly complaining about stat nerds spoiling the game, you sure have a fondness for the stats on saves.
  21. I thought it was peculiar that harmony didn't refer to Broxton's surplus trade value...
  22. I'm indifferent to such gimmicks. But it would be interesting to know what impact, if any, there was on attendance and ratings.
  23. It feels like we've been down 3-0 in the first about 50 times.
