    What I'm really talking about is the prospect of more willful negligence by our leaders. They lose O'Neill from an offense that ended the year looking awful, and they just sit on their hands about it. It's the tight-fistedness continuing to rear its ugly head. Not blaming Breslow. It sure looks like he's under serious constraints.

    Except I didn't say Devers or Casas suck.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Key players, Hugh. Compare to Betts, Ohtani, Freeman, Teoscar.

    The only legit reasons to have a shred of optimism about our 2025 offense are Anthony and Campbell. The rest is just Pollyannalytics and wishcasting. They subtracted the 3rd best hitter from an offense that collapsed in mid-August and didn't replace him. Our best RH hitters from last year have names like Refsnyder and Wong. Go Roman, go Kristian! 🙃

    Well, you're not really explaining or backing anything up. Did every other team have a key guy like Devers finish the season on the IL, and key guys like Casas and Story play a combined total of 89 games? Did every other team's offense fall off the planet the last 6 weeks of the season?

    Every offseason we think we're going to be healthier than we were last year.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Is it? The virtual heart of our offense, Devers, Casas and Story, all had severe injuries last year. It's Devers I'm really worried about. Our offense was pathetic from mid-August on, which coincided with Raffy's offensive disappearance. The inflammation must have been pretty awful to do what it did to him as a hitter.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Those were more sensible times.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Vlad is a great hitter but he's a DH - if he gets $450 mill we really are through the looking glass.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Devers's shoulder issues were diagnosed as inflammation and as far as I can tell the only treatment was rest. But the issues were bad enough to reduce him to a feeble hitter before they finally shut him down. I'm not totally comfortable about all this...
  11. Bellhorn04
    But they also won 99 games in 2022 without him. It's not like they've been maestros of mediocrity the last 3 years like our Sox.
  12. Bellhorn04
    The 'getting healthy again' thing is kind of shaky, though. We don't really know if Devers, Story, Casas, Yoshida or Giolito will be fully healthy after the injuries they had last year. And while I liked the Buehler signing, there's good reason to be concerned about his health too. Point is the health thing could go sideways on us all over again.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Actually a 13 game gap (94-81) but the point stands.
  14. Bellhorn04
    The Sox are performing the double functions of Interest Kings and Bargain Hunters.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Stock seems like a guy who will have a career in baseball or media after he stops playing - which will be pretty soon.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Which is just one step down from Canadian money. 🙃
  17. Bellhorn04
    Oh yeah, Vlad to Sox ain't happening in the real world.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Unload Casas and Yoshida. 2026 1B Devers. 2026 DH Vlad. It'll be another Ortiz/Manny thing.
  19. Bellhorn04
    My proposal was 4 additional years, so 6 total 2025-2030, with an opt out after 2029.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Pretty sure it's just the MFYs. He really seems to hate them. Which endears him to me, needless to say.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Maybe my $170 million is too high. But if Crochet takes less than $150 I'll be surprised.
  22. Bellhorn04
    To me it's all just jibber jabber to pass the time, Red. As long as nobody gets pissed off it's all good.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Eerily reminiscent of Montgomery last year.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Of course what he did in Japan was hugely important. That's not what's being argued. But Japan is not MLB. You may have heard of this other fellow named Yoshida...
  25. Bellhorn04
    Well, I think this misses the point. The point is that there's a potentially huge payday for Crochet, and that's part of what determines the offer. And my proposal was pretty close to yours, so we shouldn't really even be arguing LOL
