If I do have a fear factor with the Yanks now it's their front office. Hal and Cashman seem to really have it together. And I can't believe how good their farm system got.

With JBJ, I'll go with what WAR says. In 2016 he was about a 5 WAR, so he was at All-Star level. In 2017 he was about a 2.5 WAR, so he was just a hair above average. He's a great defender but his bat was pretty horrible in 2017.

Seems to me we did pretty good while Varitek was our catcher. A lot of playoff games and rings and parades and stuff.
-
OK, I'll compromise. 'Thanks Ben, Larry, John and Dave!'
-
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to be a fan of a team with a pile of money that's willing to spend it.
-
Benintendi and Devers haven't really proven anything yet, but Mookie finished 2nd in MVP voting in 2016 and 6th in 2017, so I would say he has.
-
If money is no object, why did we sign Moreland instead of Santana or Hosmer? I think you guys are just yanking my chain about this limitless budget thing...
-
If money is no object, where are our Christmas presents???!!!
-
I wouldn't worry about the money so much if it wasn't for the dreadful knowledge that when they're paying Pablo Sandoval 19 million to do nothing that's 19 million they won't spend on Edwin Encarnacion - and that type of thing...
-
That's all that has to be said...one would think, anyway...

Stanton: I KNEW there was a reason I didn't like Jeter!
Bellhorn04 replied to Carter's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
a) Now they've saved $60M. They would be 'sweating it out' too. You're arguing for a big risk in return for a small potential benefit, IMO. -
20 errors would be very acceptable.
-
What's our highest OBP guy doing hitting 8th?
-
Thanks Ben!
-
It's not about being scared. It's about wins and losses and run differential.

Stanton: I KNEW there was a reason I didn't like Jeter!
Bellhorn04 replied to Carter's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
The Marlins probably could have gone about this better, I'll agree with that. My main point is that this was the time to trade him, not at the 2018 deadline. -
We won 93 games in Papi's last season and were eliminated in the first round. We won 93 games in the first season without Papi and were eliminated in the first round. You saw a big difference from the leadership factor?
-
No, the $207M includes everything. Cot's Contracts now includes a separate 'Tax Tracker' sheet that figures out the lux tax numbers. It's pretty impressive.
-
We're always clamoring for something, harmony.

I like how you think!

Stanton: I KNEW there was a reason I didn't like Jeter!
Bellhorn04 replied to Carter's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Yes, he could have done worse. He risked Stanton's value dropping. How much higher can your value be than after hitting 59 homers and winning MVP? If you have him stay on a shell of a team he might be very disgruntled and it could affect his play. A lot of bad stuff could happen, not much good. No teams even claimed him on waivers this year, as you recall, and that was of course in the midst of pennant races. What teams exactly do you think would have been added to the mix? -
We shall see. Somehow I don't think Moreland was the 'one person' DD was referring to.

The Marlins didn't want to dick around with such scenarios for the sake of possibly getting a little more for him. -

How many serious bidders were there that Stanton wanted to play for? The Dodgers apparently made a worse offer than the Yanks. -
Full marks for dressing it up with a fancy title like 'The Depth Argument', too.
