As for current cool guy actors... Josh Brolin?

Sox Underrated Minor Leaguers
Bellhorn04 replied to CharlieWhigg's topic in Red Sox Minor League Talk
Kimbrel is a tough call. He's great, but he might be looking at $95 million. As great as he is, he entails some serious risk going forward, as all flamethrowers with some mileage on them do. I guarantee that Dombrowski loves Kimbrel and I think he'll make him an offer at least. But I think he's already got a Plan B in mind too. -
7. Extra motivation after a disappointing year? I think this might also be a thing. I read an article about Bogaerts working extra hard this offseason to add some muscle.
-
Man that's cynical.
-
I want some now.
-
That suggests they think Machado might really like to play the rest of his career for them.
-
Bogaerts was the same way. The only really unselfish guy, that guy who agreed to switch from SS to 3B to make things work was...no, I can't even type his name.
-
To me that's an entirely different question. I suspect the improvement is a combination of a bunch of factors. I'm quite sure a clear measurement of these factors is impossible. But that won't stop us from arguing about them all season.
-
That's an ouch.
-
Not close enough to 6 for you?
-
I was also probably one of the few people who thought the Paps-Harper thing was funny as heck.
-
I was bored enough to watch the MLB Network doc about the 1988 Dodgers. The one thing that was interesting was the crucial detail about the famous Gibson HR off Eck. Gibson had studied the scouting report on Eck, and what really stuck in his head was the note that on 3-2 counts to lefthanded hitters Eck loves to throw the backdoor slider. Gibson was looking for it and he got it.

I love it when guys who participate in the Home Run Derby go into big slumps after the ASB. I love it when guys skip the Home Run Derby because they're worried it will mess up their swings. I guess I'm a sick person.
-
But if Martinez has the traits of a really good hitting coach, helping other hitters with their mechanics, their approach, pointing out things about opposing pitchers, that's not magical/speaking in tongues stuff.
-
Bogaerts has a 3.2 fWAR in 79 games. If you project that to 150 games it's 6.1. He is playing at a 6 WAR level. How much precision are you looking for?
-
But if you subscribe to the belief that the Wild Card games are not playoffs but 'play-ins', it's a whole different story. Our % for winning the division right now is only about 65%. Having to play a Wild Card Game, a coin flip, cuts your chances in half.

Should Jackie Bradley Jr be traded?
Bellhorn04 replied to StephenCurry30's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
No AL East CFers are really killing it so far this year. Hicks has been pretty good. -
That's not really fair to E-Rod in this case. His ankle got twisted pretty badly. Could have happened to anyone.

The Alex Cora Managerial Decision Thread
Bellhorn04 replied to StephenCurry30's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Final verdict, good one. I thought you were a lawyer, not a judge. -
DD said the 237 'wouldn't be a deterrent' or words to that effect.
-
One thing's for sure, DD has his hands full trying to plug the holes in the pitching staff with the limited trade chips at his disposal. Are there any 'pure' salary dumps in the pitching area out there?
-
-
The news on E-Rod sounds a little grim. He's going to be in a boot for two weeks, then they'll re-evaluate.
