I don't think you automatically lose the international pool money. I think there's another condition about signing a free agent...have to read the fine print.
-
Every big business is corrupt...nice way of justifying everything, I guess. Like 'all politicians are corrupt, so who cares if Trump conspired with the Russkies to rig the election?'
-
Throwing bullpens, reportedly progressing nicely, very unlikely to be ready for Opening Day, but there seems to be optimism he'll be ready to go some time early in the season.
-
Pure speculation and hyperbole. Just for starters I highly doubt they rated his bat as 'elite'.
-
Are you blaming Swihart's setback on them trying him in left field? Couldn't it be that they've had strong doubts about his defensive abilities at catcher all along and wanted to give him a shot at another position?
-
'Screw the future', seriously? It's one year, 2019. No matter what, Hanley's salary is gone in 2020 and beyond, as is Pablo's.
-
Many of us are now, I think.
-
Of course it matters. It all matters, years, dollars, performance. Ben sunk $250 million into Pablo, Hanley and Castillo, in return for virtually net zero WAR. Of course he's going to be slagged for that.
-
You're comparing a $13 million signing to 2 signings that totaled $183 million or possibly $205 million. A little sense of proportion is necessary.
-
Unfortunately, not everyone can be a consummate cold-blooded logician like you, notin. Yes, there are far too many fans who tend to view their team's unproven quantities through Pollyanna's rose-colored spectacles.
-
Moreland should get most of his AB's against RH pitching. He can also come in for late inning defense.
-
NCAA = cesspool of corruption.
-
So on another topic: Does the Altuve extension (5/151) set any sort of benchmark for a Mookie extension?
-
Very true. And I think we should all stop obsessing about the option (although I know it'll be an ongoing topic). What Cora said suggests the team is going to 'play it straight', that is, play Hanley as long as he's hitting and forget about the option - which is what you would hope a team with World Series aspirations would do.
-
I'm surrounded by some serious Sox homers here LOL
-
That was eloquently phrased.
-
I think he's just really wired for the season to start.
-
I disagree that DD doesn't get any hindsight criticism. Every GM gets it. DD has gotten it in particular for the Shaw-Thornburg trade.
-
It probably will be altered now because of some of the bargain signings, yes.
-
I think an argument can be made based on WAR that Moreland's contract was not a large overpay at the time. fWAR 2015 2.2 2016 0.4 2017 0.9 bWAR 2015 2.3 2016 0.7 2017 1.9 Even if you only project him as a 1 WAR player, that was supposedly worth 7-8 million on the free agent market at the time he was signed.
-
MLBTR predicted Duda would get 1 year, $6 million.
-
Thus Spake Zarathustra.
-
mvp is referring to Pedroia's actual salary this year (not his AAV).
-
But you posted CV's...you old trickster you.
-
And Sandy is 5 for 14 this spring.
