Elias is just about to blossom. C'mon guys, it's the offseason, dream a little.
-
Dice-K was pretty good in 2007 and 2008, got injured in 2009.
-
Also, a lot of playoff games are now being won by bullpens.
-
Could you clarify what you mean by this?
-
To think all the unpleasantness was started by that bloody Duda.
-
Now how can you say that when you joined in 2016?
-
How the heck did both of you leave out Tanaka?
-
It's strange, the Sox can't seem to develop young pitchers, but they have resurrected a couple of older pitchers recently with Rich Hill and now Fister.
-
Santana and Cain are 2 of the top free agents though. Fister just doesn't seem to belong on the same kind of list. For me it's a quibble more than anything, though.
-
No, that was a terrible contract, I'm not disputing that. But most GM's of franchises with money have inked terrible contracts. It's not the same as trading significant talent and taking on the back end of such a contract at the same time.
-
Yes, if Fister is #5 on your list of FA bargains, you should probably just end the list at 4. He's definitely still a dumpster dive.
-
But he has no history of making idiotic trades like that AFAIK...
-
He's not a big upgrade over Moreland, I would agree.
-
Wanted to stay under the luxury tax limit. simple
-
Duda's not all that good, I think we all realize that. But he's an .800+ OPS guy against RH pitching, and if he comes at the right price, a first base platoon with him and Hanley wouldn't be the worst thing. Also, as moon has said, this could help keep Hanley from hitting the vesting option, which would relieve us of 22 million payroll for 2019.
-
Don't forget 'Inepstein'. One thing about fred, he was an equally opportunity abuser. He crapped on everyone from Henry down to the bat boy.
-
They are indeed childish, and tiresome.
-
The Talksox brain trust will be making the call on that one.
-
Agree 100%. I would also note there have been some articles criticizing Morgan's letter as inappropriate.
-
If the talent is there any headaches can probably be resolved.
-
That does sound like a dumb article, and spending big doesn't guarantee a thing. However, we do need to acknowledge that the Yankees are back in a big way. Based on Pythagorean record they were actually 7 games better than us last year. If we do absolutely nothing to improve we'll be, on paper, a wild-card contender.
-
But save the money for when and who, specifically?
-
Yes, it's time we did something about this nonsense with players getting injured during the season. I'm fed up with it.
-
I don't think the value of putting the ball in play should be totally discounted. There are productive outs and errors from putting it in play. But if a hitter has a good OBP and SLG he is productive, regardless of K's.
-
It seems like the Yanks will be able to get this guy for little money and little risk if he decides to pick them, which he likely will. Something about that doesn't seem right.
