    Inside Edge shows that JBJ has a vastly reduced number of routine plays this year for whatever reason.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Darwinzon? Walden's numbers are also perfectly acceptable.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Don't even say that, man LOL

    So health permitting Tom Brady will be playing 3 more years. Pretty amazing.
  5. Bellhorn04
    I kind of envy people who are fans of all the Boston teams. That would be pretty cool.
  6. Bellhorn04
    OTOH those Inside Edge numbers you quoted for Beni were very interesting, weren't they? At first I thought there had to be something wrong but I checked them out and I was a bit shocked.

    If the stat folks could produce an event log for the defensive ratings it might resolve a lot of these arguments.
  8. Bellhorn04
    You're a good man danny. Good to see you here posting a lot.

    His 3 run jack in Game 4 of the WS was worth about $5 million.

    I'd love to see Sale finish strong, and maybe quiet some people down about how stupid the extension was, that's for sure.
  11. Bellhorn04
    I'm not in favor of shutting Sale down at this point. I'd rather see him work on his game. Assuming he's fully healthy.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, it makes you look smarter or something.

    Trading for a rental can be attractive, though, because a) you only do it if you're in the hunt; and you only pay one-third of their salary or so.

    Diaz is a pretty legit prospect, it looks like. Not my strength, as I say.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Unfortunately that's not my strength. Have to dig up some comps from the past, for starters. Machado brought back 5 prospects last year. As to their quality I can't say.

    Conversely, the Yankees didn't add any starting pitching at the deadline, which everyone was convinced they were going to do, but there were no adverse effects. Hate to say it but the doofus has been having a pretty good year - so far.

    This lines up with some comments Cora made after the series with the Dodgers, talking about what a good game plan the Dodgers offense had and suggesting that they were better prepared than the Red Sox were.
  18. Bellhorn04
    They did add Cashner.
  19. Bellhorn04
    A thought that occurs to me is that Brian Cashman may have really gotten the jump on the rocket ball thing this year. All of a sudden the Yankees 'home run or nothing' approach looks brilliant. According to Jax, Cashman has been hunting for guys with high 'exit velocity'.

    What might make the most sense with Mookie is trading him at the July 2020 deadline, unless we're in contention for the division (ha ha).
  21. Bellhorn04
    Right on all counts, I'd say.
  22. Bellhorn04
    That's an excellent question - sounds like one I would ask myself! On the offense side, the overall numbers look good, no question. And certainly the offense carries less of the blame. As a general observation, it seems like the offense is not quite as 'relentless' as last year's, or this year's Yankees. They have big outbursts that pad up the numbers, then go quiet again. In the first 3 games of the home series against the Yankees they exploded. In the 8 losses that followed they were nothing special. The other things you have to look at with the position players are defense, baserunning and mental errors or lack thereof. Benintendi and Bradley both seem slower on D this year, for example.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Based on the Harper and Machado contract overpays, Mookie has little to worry about. Position player, so less risk than a pitcher - check. Charisma factor - check. No known injury issues - check. If Mookie gets to free agency I think we're probably out.
  24. Bellhorn04
    When it comes to the blame pie, rotation or bullpen, I think whichever you pick, you're not wrong. And if you pick both, you're doubly right. It's what you might call a clusterf**k.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Those are all pretty good guesses about the Sox issues.
