    I don't think there's any comparison. Leon just has a bulky build.
  2. Bellhorn04
    And if he does hit, he'll smell much better.
  3. Bellhorn04
    If they can stash Leon in Pawtucket that sounds like best case scenario to me...
  4. Bellhorn04
    They're professionals so they will get on with it. But I don't think they were just bullshitting when they raved about his catching abilities.
  5. Bellhorn04
    The Sale deal definitely makes me feel pretty good about the team's direction the next few years.
  6. Bellhorn04
    I think Devers is going to pay off nicely on that $2.

    moon was just trying to answer Kimmi's question about why Cora seemed so reluctant to give Swihart any playing time last year, which is true. But that was last year.
  8. Bellhorn04
    I make no such predictions. Baseball is a remarkably unpredictable game.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Any stats on that? In 2018 the highest OPS by inning was .753, in the first inning. But that would be skewed by the best hitters coming up in the first. Since I've been watching baseball I've been hearing of starting pitchers needing to 'settle in'...don't let him off the hook!...that sort of thing.

    It all depends which story makes more sense to you. My belief is that they decided to give Hanley a shot, while also being prepared to cut him.
  11. Bellhorn04
    We could see that.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Well, the evidence in the rumors.
  13. Bellhorn04
    It matters not. The evidence suggests that Sandy Leon will be DFA'd. And the Swihart era in Boston is here.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Yes, it's pretty clear that Sale was actually thinking both of the team and of himself when they worked out this deal. It's admirable.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Maybe this should have been the Sandy Leon thread.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Other teams are susceptible to losing key players just like we are.
  17. Bellhorn04
    I'm assuming no reset for 2020. Reading about the terms of Sale's deal only strengthens that opinion. Sale took some deferred money that somehow reduced his AAV to 25.6 million. He wanted to give the team a little more payroll flexibility. And I'm guessing in return they gave him assurances that they plan to field highly competitive teams each year.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I have to disagree. The role players are replaceable. Maybe they even keep Holt and/or Nunez. A guy like Devers could have a breakout season. Other good stuff could be added. I can't believe you're throwing in the towel with that much talent and with a great owner like Henry.
  19. Bellhorn04
    A 'slight chance'? We'll also still have E-Rod, Barnes, Brasier, Beni, Devers, Pedroia and a few others.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Red Sox pitching coach Dana LeVangie describes Sale this way: "A kid that didn't grow up in Boston but sure acts like he did."
  21. Bellhorn04
    More on the tax implications of Sale's deal: There are deferred amounts in the deal that lower the AAV to 25.6 million. Sale wanted to help the team have a little more payroll flexibility. https://t.co/YjJhMXbmQe
  22. Bellhorn04
    He's got some rumors happening, at least.
  23. Bellhorn04
    I'm not convinced it makes sense to reset/punt in a year when you've got so many high-priced, high-caliber players on your roster-Betts, JDM, Bradley, Sale, Price, Eovaldi. That's arguably a waste of money and opportunity. We'll see!
  24. Bellhorn04
    It's true, though, that Johnson and Velazquez outpitched the Yankees' more highly touted depth options in 2018.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Price's contract was very close to market value. I would like to see some evidence that it wasn't.
