I don't think so.

Sure. But you can't say management isn't trying. And it would be a somewhat stunning development if they start 20-40.

SSSS (Small Sample Size even for Spring)

Nobody should ever question Chris Sale's ability, fitness, work ethic, intensity or any of those things. But the evidence does suggest that he has 'durability' issues that are out of his control and that require his use to be managed carefully, don't you think?
-
But the Philles also added Realmuto, Segura and others.

Cora says Pedey is going to have a full workout tomorrow and if all goes well he'll play next weekend.
-
The pen is a question mark until we see it in action. To say that DD didn't make a move is not quite accurate though, because he made a bunch of dumpster dives.
-
All the more reason to like our position. We're underdogs, like the Patriots were.
-
Clay did well getting the deal he got. He pitched well last year but started and ended on the DL. I like the move for the Jays and hope he does well.

I believe Slasher is correct, the benefits are probably long gone by now.
-
Sorry, I Mister Magoo'd the italics.

He didn't say that, of course. He said too many owners don't want to spend the money. It's certainly possible that there are owners who are more interested in making profits and capital gains than they are in providing a winning team. At the same time that doesn't mean it's smart to just sign every splashy free agent you can, obviously. But let's not oversimplify the issues and make everything pure black and white. There's plenty in between.

Someone else here said that.
-
I don't really see why a starting five is necessarily a bad thing.
-
The 100,000 tickets is impressive though. It does demonstrate the box-office aspect of some of these deals.

What would a Betts extension be?

It's really too soon to say. I think Mookie is a very smart guy and he figures the less he says the better, which is probably true, because whatever you say tends to get used against you somehow. -
Jack Flap says they reported on it a number of other times though.
-
That was just one bad game as it turned out, fortunately. Imagine what will happen if the pen blows 2 games the first week of the season.
-
So without any term contracts, would all the players be free agents at the end of each year? That'd be fun. And we've talked about some of the issues with paying based on performance. How much would the Red Sox owe Mookie Betts for 2018?
-
It's going to be interesting to see what happens, though, if our pen struggles badly out of the gate. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's thinking that dark little thought.
-
Oh, I get that, and I think Dombrowski probably feels the same way.
-
Yeah, we would certainly not want to know the names of every single player who has used them.

Dates of birth: Machado July 6/92 Betts Oct 7/92 Harper Oct 16/92 The one thing in our favor with Mookie is that he hits free agency 2 years later than Machado and Harper. -
I'm no expert on PED's either. But from what I've read one of the big advantages of PED's is the increased stamina they give when you're working out and lifting weights, which makes it possible to get bigger and stronger much more quickly.
