OK, that seems fair.
-
I know one thing, if we signed Cobb for this much it would definitely be called an 'overpay'. He got more than MLBTR predicted, which was 4/48.
-
We can rattle on all we want about Hanley's option (and we will), but I'm quite sure the Sox FO and Cora have already discussed this at some length and have a sensible plan in place.
-
That is a good attitude, yes.
-
JT? JT? Bluto: 'My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.' Otter: 'Better listen to him, Flounder, he's in pre-med.'
-
It's funny how we can list all the bad things that happened last year and talk like nothing that bad could happen this year.
-
You do have a flair for hyperbole.

96-66
-
Yes.
-
So much for Alex Cobb signing for peanuts, huh?
-
Seems to me like everybody wins, once you accept that sports fans are nuts and people are suckers.
-
Pitchers certainly need some time to ramp up.
-
What if we're fighting for the division with the Yanks?
-
Health of starting pitchers could easily dictate who wins.
-
Obviously the best case scenario would be for HanRam to have a good season but not reach the vesting option. I just don't think Alex Cora should be expected to manage the team with one eye on that number if HanRam is going well.
-
I am also of the mind that if Hanley is having an excellent season, you forget the option and let the chips fall where they may. In a small window, every year is huge, and you have to take your shot when it's there.

Sox to hire Alex Cora as manager
Bellhorn04 replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Believe it or not, baseball has followed in the footsteps of golf with a lot of these new measurements. In golf they started tracking swing speed, ball speed and launch angle maybe 5 years ago. -
To me it's not a question of being scared. But if you're not taking the Yankees seriously as a tough opponent this year I think you're kidding yourself.
-
I think spring training stats mean a lot more for guys like Travis and Swihart than they do for proven players.
-
Jabie Jay was great in 2016, period. 2015 and 2017 his offense was suspect for sure.
-
Holt is a decent utility player. WTF do people expect.
-
I think if anything Holt has now become somewhat of a whipping boy for some fans. Dombrowski likes him, it would seem.
-
On the topic of beanballs... In the documentary about the Sox 1967 Impossible Dream Season, Yaz was talking about Jim Lonborg and what a tough guy he was. Yaz said Lonborg would come up to him before the game and ask him if there was anyone Yaz wanted him to throw at. And in those days the pitchers were often the ones who were retaliated against.
-
I'll agree. Hanley has been by all accounts a first class citizen in his time with us.
-
You're right. Holt can be optioned to AAA, or traded.
