Ellsbury, Betts & Papelbon were not free agents. But Manny Ramirez, John Lackey, David Price, JD Martinez, and some others like Victorino depending on how far down you want to go.
-
Theo Epstein is probably the best GM in the game. He hasn't signed any big name free agents?
-
If we didn't sign any big name free agents we would probably still have zero championships.
-
Not a fan of Rafael Devers?
-
That's all great in theory, but it's not going to get you much in the way of elite talent.
-
Holy Dripping Sarcasm, Batman. Yes, I'm aware Moncada is having a strong season and that we gave up a couple of blue chippers to get Sale.
-
Hopefully none of us have sunk so low that we envy the Mets. -
You have a good attitude. I mean that as a sincere compliment.
-
For the most part, the guys DD has traded away are not what you would call losses that are haunting us. Beeks has a nice W-L and ERA with the Rays but his peripheral numbers are not impressive. Ty Buttrey looked like a possible significant loss but he's been struggling recently.
-
True. But you know what fans and media are like. The Atlanta Braves of the 90's have come to be known as a team that dominated the regular season but only came away with one title. The Dodgers haven't won it all since 1988. If they don't start having some parades they'll be put in the same category as those Braves teams - or those Buffalo Bills teams perhaps.
-
The Yankees, meanwhile, are pulling miracle performers out of the air. Urshela, Tauchman, Maybin. What the hell...these guys are insanely outhitting what their histories would suggest.
-
It remains to be seen if even Theo is capable of sustaining his success with the Cubs. He's got some roster & contract issues of his own to deal with.
-
If Shaughnessy is right, Dombrowski is gone. Shaughnessy's pick to replace him is Eddie Romero. Shaughnessy also figures LeVangie is gone.
-
Painful, isn't it? The Red Sox really know how to deliver the highs and the lows.
-
Well said LOL
-
Sounds like changes are coming.
-
I would agree that it's a reasonable valuation. The truth is that sometimes, like dgalehouse, I get a little fed up with the onslaught of theoretical numbers.
-
As far as homegrown pitching goes, Theo's Cubs don't have much either.
-
The Yankees did it with Chapman.
-
Those values are strictly for funsies.

AGon made a few comments that turned public opinion against him. Plus fans were unhappy in general with that 2011 team. It was a disaster. Epstein gone, Francona gone, chicken and beer... Personally I don't think it was a racially dominated thing with AGon. I think most fans were happy to see Josh Beckett go too, and he was a white man who was instrumental in the 2007 title.

Yep. It's just the nature of the game. Asher Wowksi-something pitched the game of his life in the last game of that series. -
It's not something that can ever be proved.
-
I was talking about Martinez. You're talking about Drew. I was a member of the 'J D Drew defense team' on the other site too...

Last year was not a fluke. Keep in mind it was our third straight year winning the division. This year is a case of everything going wrong that could go wrong - with the starting pitching.
