    Maybe Boras is screwing up again like he did last year and Soto is gonna get stiffed! OK, probably not...
  2. Bellhorn04
    Exactly right.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, what I was really questioning was how he can show signs before we trade for him... Not sure you can get prospective trade targets to throw side sessions for you... I think moon just likes to fiddle with the logic center in my brain...
  4. Bellhorn04
    Hard to say. If the Yankees sign Soto and there are indications the Sox had a chance with one last bump but declined (think A-Rod situation), there could still be much grumbling.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Yes, but I'd say you actually have a bit more to grab onto with "clutch" than with the other phantoms...
  6. Bellhorn04
    How's he going to show signs he can rebound?
  7. Bellhorn04
    So do "core", as we've seen today, and oh yeah, "ace". That's the beauty of these infinitely nebulous terms...
  8. Bellhorn04
    If that's very far apart, it's time to move on. I thought Soto was looking for 12/14 years at $45 million.
  9. Bellhorn04
    It makes more sense than the idea of the Yankees having Soto, one of the best hitters in the game, helping us.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Easier said than done, methinks.
  11. Bellhorn04
    moon's list looks a lot like 'everyone we expect to be back if they're not traded'. 😁
  12. Bellhorn04
    So a lot of guys moon listed are not core. I think we can get a few more posts out of this!
  13. Bellhorn04
    What's a core guy anyway? Rafaela played more than Abreu and has a long-term contract. If Rafaela isn't core, how is Abreu core? Just because we think he's actually better?
  14. Bellhorn04
    It's a heap o' scratch, I'll say that much! I really think this is going to end up as a Yamamoto-style decision. The money is insane regardless, now where do you actually want to play?
  15. Bellhorn04
    It's the plane, boss! 🙃
  16. Bellhorn04
    I will go to Fenway at least one more time if they sign Soto.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Seriously? What browser?
  18. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, I'm certainly not opposed to it. They might have to give Cora a few weeks of shock therapy, though, after they tell him he has to hit lefties back to back every day. Listen to me talking like this is real. 😛
  19. Bellhorn04
    MLB average OBP was only .312 this year, though. My go-to stat for power hitters is OPS+. It's a simple stat and it's adjusted for ballpark factors and league averages.
  20. Bellhorn04
    It's what keeps the lights on, as the saying goes. It's worth it for all these pearls of wisdom, though, right? 😄
  21. Bellhorn04
    Yes, I've already seen references to that LOL.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Mind you the logic is really simple and the stats have borne it out - the 3 hole gets fewer RBI opportunities than 4 or 5, mainly because of a lot of first innings with the first 2 guys getting out. A lot of managers disregard this anyway.
  23. Bellhorn04
    And Jared Carrabis tweeted "Thankful for Juan Soto." Better be effin' real now...
  24. Bellhorn04
    And if they miss out on both Soto and Fried they're going to look like tools, again.
  25. Bellhorn04
    The Soto contract will be about 50% riskier than the Trout contract. The truth is, it stands an excellent chance of becoming a monster albatross in 5 years or so, with Soto becoming a subject of abuse like Trout is now. Soto will get an injury or two and everyone will be clamoring to move him to DH. He'll be untradeable without eating a pile of money, of course. Signing him would probably be a horrible move in the long run. Not that I'll complain if it happens. Not that it's likely to happen.
