  1. The threshold goes from 189 in 2016 to 210 in 2021. That's 11.1% over 5 years, or about 2% compounded annually. That's tiny, really. And of course the penalties are steeper.
  2. Gedman doesn't have to do anything. A lot of people are just stupid.
  3. Yes, we will try to take comfort as we fret about all those Yankees young pitching studs like Chance Adams and Justus Sheffield...
  4. Find me these so many people who look to Groome as a possible savior.
  5. The gods have spared Kinsler. They did not spare Buckner.
  6. I understand. But there has to be some correlation between the inflows and the outflows, and if attendance and TV viewership are going down, the inflows have to go down at some point. I thought that the modest increases in the tax threshold in the new CBA were an indicator that salaries were going to level off at least.
  7. Isn't it just one of the titles - 2004?
  8. The Red Sox have made the playoffs 10 times since JH bought the team and won it all 4 times - 40%. Luck or strength?
  9. I think the closest thing to analytics on analytics would be a poll on positive or negative response.
  10. I'm staggered by the predictions of $420 million for Harper and $390 million for Machado. If Harper gets that much it will smash the record currently held by Stanton by $95 million. How can baseball survive that kind of inflation? And both of these guys carry some significant question marks. They're not Mike Trout.
  11. I think you're right and the article is wrong.
  12. The cheapest signed item is a Will Middlebrooks ball LOL - $40 as of today - there's a 20% off deal until midnight on everything except the 2018 World Series stuff.
  13. There's also some pretty cool signed stuff from legends of the past. Yaz, Papi, Pedroia, Mike Lowell, Pedro, Boggs, Rice, Lynn, Fisk, Luis Tiant. The Papi stuff is still quite pricey. Some of the items for guys like Lynn and Tiant are relatively reasonable. There's just one thing for Manny - a signed collage of his career highlights.
  14. There you go. We all have our different reactions. I don't really know if analytics will be good or bad for the game over the long run. Time will tell.
  15. No, I'm not. But if I had more money, I believe I might buy a few items like this.
  16. Unofficially, the Red Sox are at 237.85. But the official numbers will come later after the bean-counters do all their due diligence.
  17. In the John Henry era, the Red Sox are 57-37 in the postseason (.606) - equivalent to a 98-64 regular season record.
  18. What doesn't change so much are things like payroll rank and strength of division.
  19. If you're thinking, where's the J D Martinez ball, you're right. There is not a single item of JDM signed memorabilia on the Sox website. Also no Porcello or Holt.
  20. How about just a straightforward autographed 2018 World Series logo baseball? The pricing order is interesting. Betts $400 Price $200 Kimbrel $200 Benintendi $200 Bradley Jr $180 Pearce $170 Bogaerts $150 Eovaldi $150 Devers $100 If you want your Mookie ball with a 2018 WS Champs inscription, that'll up the price to $500 If you want your Pearce ball with a 2018 WS MVP inscription, that'll up the price to $200 The Devers ball looks like a relative bargain, doesn't it? Maybe even the Price ball. Hmmm...
  21. Let's start at the top. Shadowbox display case with 8 2018 World Series logo baseballs (not sure exactly who the 8 autographs are, but it looks like they're all primo ones) $2,500 Red Sox 2018 World Series Champions Louisville Slugger logo bat in display case 'with at least 10 signatures' $2,400 16 * 20 Red Sox 2018 World Series Champions 'dogpile' celebration photo 'with at least 10 signatures' $1,880 2018 World Series logo baseball in display case 'with at least 10 signatures' $1,800 Shadowbox display case with 3 2018 World Series logo baseballs autographed by Betts, Bradley & Benintendi $1,000 Framed 16 * 20 celebration photo of Betts, Bradley & Benintendi autographed by each $800
  22. The numbers are actually pretty striking: 1996-2018 ATL 14 playoff eliminations + 1 Wild Card loss OAK 7 playoff eliminations + 2 Wild Card losses MIN 6 playoff eliminations + 1 Wild Card loss Total 27 + 4 = 31
  23. I really do find this hard to believe. The Red Sox have won it all 4 times in 15 years. Oakland, Minnesota and Atlanta combined have won it zero times since 1995 despite making the playoffs a whole bunch of times. I think we had significantly better chances of winning than them because we were more stacked in all the different departments. Which resulted from our large payroll advantages and some smart GM's. Just my opinion.
  24. They didn't do that, but the closest thing to it-they put a limit on the width of the goalies' leg pads.
