  1. There are more scrap heap signings yet to come, I think. There might also be a trade. There might even be a panic move at some point early in the season...
  2. A 'sordid production history' - man, you're quite the wordsmith once you get rolling.
  3. Red Sox 2019 bullpen = Dave's Big Dare?
  4. Keep up the good work moon!
  5. Right. That's the one thing that's puzzling in light of the bullpen situation.
  6. When the payroll's pushing 250 mill and the farm is depleted, it does tie your hands a wee bit. Besides, he didn't need to do much more for the 2018 team than what he did.
  7. Good point. 2018 Home 967 Away 800 Still a huge split, but not one you'd complain about.
  8. Well, it's not the worst thing in the world if Devers slides over to first base. We will have an opening there after this year.
  9. I don't know, but in this case the player's agent chose to make a public statement of denial, and that's a bit unusual.
  10. It was also perhaps a teeny bit immature, or shall we say hot-headed, when David Ortiz pounded a bullpen phone into plastic smithereens.
  11. One concerning thing about Machado is his numbers at Camden Yards and away from Camden Yards. Career OPS at Camden .888 Career road OPS .761 - yuck
  12. As far as Manny vs. Bogaerts - Manny may be the bigger talent, but I think I'd rather have Xander. Some of that's homerism, no doubt, but the guy's been with us since 2013, played on 2 championship teams, really hit the ball well this year.
  13. Manny's agent says the report about the $175 mill offer is bogus. It might be turning into a circus.
  14. Manny's agent says Olney is full of crap, the report is inaccurate. Now we really do have a soap opera.
  15. I honestly don't know if the price is going to get that much higher. It's January 16. If there was going to be a bidding war it would have taken place by now. There's something a little odd going on here. It could be that Manny really did himself in with his behaviors.
  16. If you believe in fWAR, losing Kelly's 0.7 fWAR shouldn't hurt too much (great postseason aside).
  17. What teams? LOL For starters he preserved the lead in games 1 and 4 of the ALDS against the Yanks. Just check his postseason game log on Baseball-Reference. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.fcgi?id=barnema01&t=p&post=1
  18. Well, Barnes pitched fantastically well last postseason. 8.2 IP allowing a slash line of 103/257/207. Vastly better than Kimbrel's line, needless to say. Which doesn't mean he'll be a great closer, but it speaks well of his ability to pitch under pressure.
  19. It really does seem like teams in general are kind of saying 'fk you' to the players.
  20. So the Phillies are 'expected to make a formal offer to Harper sometime in the near future.' Just take your time, guys, it's only January 16...
  21. It seems like with these new-style offseasons, you get some signings in December, and then virtually nothing happens in January.
  22. It looked that way to some of us knee-jerkers here. You, in your omnipotent wisdom, were right.
  23. Put it this way: at $30 million or even $35 million, it's quite likely that Mookie will give full value and more through the first half of his contract at least.
  24. True, but for a while it looked like Kelly might not even make the playoff roster. (Fortunately Cora knew much better.) And CK was bad in the playoffs. It's a funny old game LOL
  25. That's right. Taking Mookie's 30 million and divvying it up among 3 players isn't necessarily going to put you ahead, not by any means.
