  1. To hell with Naehring. He's with the Yankees now. :-)
  2. Betts has already said he's quite interested to see what Machado and Harper get. So we should soon get a pretty good idea what he'll be asking for.
  3. Not trying to knock Kimbrel at all. He's one of the best relief pitchers in history. He was a great acquisition by DD. But his stuff is clearly diminished and his price will now be exorbitant.
  4. Kimbrel's 6-out save in Game 4 of the ALCS must be the heart attack save of all time. It started with Tony Kemp getting gunned down by Mookie to prevent a double and ended with the catch by Benintendi on Bregman with the bases loaded. That was some crazy stuff.
  5. One thing about Kimbrel is/was, no matter what the peripherals, he doesn't blow many saves and his save % is always high. We saw some where he got his ass saved by fielders, of course.
  6. If it was only for undisputed great players, there might be some long stretches with no one getting in. Some people would say that's boring. I get your point, but no matter how it was there would be something to complain about.
  7. It is what it is. Like so many things in our lives, it'll never live up to what we think it should be.
  8. Kimbrel's contract worked out perfectly for us IMO
  9. Curtis Leskanic Kidding. But he did get 4 crucial outs in Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS. And those were the final pitches of his career. His arm was shot.
  10. moon, I don't know if you caught this, but look at how these arb projections changed since your first post on this thread. Here are the projections from that post on Oct. 29: 18.7 Mookie Betts 11.9 Xander Bogaerts 7.9 Jackie Bradley Jr. 4.8 Eduardo Rodriguez 3.4 Brock Holt 2.3 Tyler Thornburg 2.3 Sandy Leon 1.5 Matt Barnes 1.4 Brandon Workman 1.4 Steven Wright 1.2 Heath Hembree 1.1 Blake Swihart
  11. It's a tough question. First you have to look at the AAV. $35 million or even a bit more? It certainly takes a huge chunk out of the budget. But if he stays healthy and plays up to his capabilities he could be an 8 WAR player for 5 years or more. FanGraphs says 8 WAR is worth about $65 million or something. So that's surplus value. Of course the length of the contract is almost certain to come back to haunt.
  12. 300+ million for Mookie is more likely to help create a cliff somewhere around 2025 or 2026.
  13. Success is expensive, that's for sure.
  14. It's gone up already!
  15. NY media is raising a fuss about the Yanks cutting shares to some guys.
  16. Wow what a name though.
  17. So nothing has changed! Let's just replicate 2018. I could handle that.
  18. The Yankees being cheapskates with their playoff shares has become a bit of a story. https://nypost.com/2018/11/26/just-how-stingy-the-yankees-were-with-their-playoff-shares/
  19. Ah yes, Josh Rutledge. I recently learned that his wife Laura is a sideline reporter for ESPN on college football games. She was in the news because she got slammed into by a couple of players going out of bounds. (She was okay.) One of the players thought he would be nice and offered to go on a date with her. That's when Josh's name came into it LOL
  20. Both Johnson and Velazquez were very useful in getting our pitching staff through the 2018 season. The only thing that's changed is Johnson being out of options.
  21. Does Seattle need a catcher?
  22. I think he's on the radar.
  23. The question is can we keep him. Not going to be easy.
  24. Whoa, ease up. We are not trading Devers.
