    Re-posting this for moon because I'm sure he missed it and the chance for a good argument.

    'Talent evaporator' - I think that's how some people see DD. LOL
  3. Bellhorn04
    In 2013 Ben signed Dempster at an AAV of 13 or 13.25 million. And he was just expected to be a back of the rotation innings-eater. Pitching is just expensive.
  4. Bellhorn04
    I'm pretty sure they will be taking all that into consideration. It certainly seems unlikely they'll be able to retain both Sale and Porcello if they do sign Eovaldi, with Price already on the books. The thing is we have a small window. If we don't sign Eovaldi, presumably we have to sign another starter instead, and the options don't look that great.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Eovaldi's combined WHIP for the 2018 regular season was 1.126. His FIP was 3.60. His K/BB was 5.05. All good. This should not be about Eovaldi vs. Porcello. But Porcello will be a free agent after 2019.

    Robertson would certainly be a good add. He's a cheapskate tho-that'll have to be fixed.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, the Rocket turned out to be kind of a tool, but there's no denying that he revived the franchise when he came along.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Everyone's window is getting smaller now, I think. We used to talk about the 6 years of cheap control. Well, Mookie is expected to make about 19 million this year and I would expect it'll be 25 million or so in his final arb year. That's not exactly cheap in my books. (Not suggesting he doesn't deserve it, obviously.)
  9. Bellhorn04
    There was a pretty bleak 5 years or so in between.

    I loved Pudge, but I was disappointed in him when he went to the other Sox. I know the front office screwed up, but he could have worked things out and stayed.
  11. Bellhorn04
    So you're leaving out Chris Freakin' Sale and JD Freakin' Martinez because they don't fit into this category? You've had a thousand posts about Sale and how much you loved the trade. Now you're not even including it in DD's best deals because it wasn't one of the low risk ones. Makes no sense.
  12. Bellhorn04
    This was an okay post until the wacko last line.
  13. Bellhorn04
    It's an odd deal, but I don't think it's the disaster for the Mets it was first made out to be.
  14. Bellhorn04
    It's pretty hard to top that one!
  15. Bellhorn04
    When it comes to pitchers, there's risk with all of them. OTOH there's risk in not having enough pitching. So what are ya gonna do? That's what Mr. Dombrowski is paid to figure out - with Mr. Henry approving the expenditure.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Of course there's risk. Plenty of it. I would offer 2 counterpoints: 1) Eovaldi actually pitched pretty well in his abbreviated regular season. 2) If he gets 4 years and 60 million, that's a lot of dough. But it's only about 50% of what Yu Darvish got, 40% of what Lester got, 30% of what Price got.
  17. Bellhorn04
    There's always the luck and randomness factor too. In 1975 the Sox had a 3-0 lead in Game 7 of the World Series. In 1978, they lost a playoff game to the eventual champs.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I don't think anyone knows yet exactly how much the Mariners are kicking in for Cano, and that will be a big factor in the final evaluation of the deal.
  19. Bellhorn04
    I'll bet I'm the only one with a YAZ SIR THAT'S MY BABY button.
  20. Bellhorn04
    I'm sure what the fans think doesn't bother him. I do think he makes a public fool of himself at times, most recently with his outlandish projections of how much J D Martinez would be getting.
  21. Bellhorn04
    He was 'outrighted' to Pawtucket.
  22. Bellhorn04
    + Austin Maddox. (You did use the word 'possible'.)
  23. Bellhorn04
    I'll go on record that there's no way he gets 6 years.
  24. Bellhorn04
    For me the obvious first question is why did he pitch so badly last year when he came back from the injury?
  25. Bellhorn04
    Bautista pitched 4.1 innings for the Mets last year with a 12.46 ERA. He had a 5.14 ERA and a 1.71 WHIP in AA/AAA last year. Not much to get excited about there.
