  1. I suspect the Red Sox are prepared to do whatever it takes to sign Martinez.
  2. Can we infer from the Encarnacion contract that 'the industry' is not as willing to spend like drunken sailors for DH types now?
  3. I concur. moon, no more posts about trading HanRam, please.
  4. moon, trading HanRam to the Marlins has become quite the white whale for you. Packaging him with Castillo, that's a side-splitter. I note that your $63.5 million figure does not include Hanley's option year.
  5. Pretty much.
  6. There is no end to your cruelty toward baseball coaches, managers and executives.
  7. I'm not going to worry about the cliff, there's nothing I can do about it anyway. If it comes it comes, and we might really suck for a few years. C'est la vie.
  8. Sure, it's weak, and that's mainly because of the trades, but it's also because Benintendi and Devers graduated young.
  9. The only reason Stanton's name is even being bandied about is that everyone knows the Marlins need to get his contract off their books. And again only a few teams can afford to take on that contract.
  10. Also largely responsible for the Red Sox's appearance in the 2017 playoffs...
  11. I am saddened that you overlooked the posts about this by Slash and myself.
  12. Benintendi + smaller parts could do it. Obviously it depends what other teams are offering. But only the richest teams are even in play.
  13. We do have what it takes. We have the money. We have Benintendi, who has already proven himself to be a solid player and potential star and who is not even eligible for arbitration until 2020. The Sox could do it if they wanted. Whether this is the direction they want to go is another question.
  14. I don't think he gets more than 5 years, because he's virtually a DH.
  15. Looking forward, looking back, it's pretty easy to do both. It's just nice we have some really good stuff to look back on now.
  16. I agree. And the spiteful part of me sort of enjoys seeing stratagems like this blow up in the manager's face sometimes.
  17. Of course if Jansen is lights out as he usually is, the Dodgers win and no one says much about pulling Hill.
  18. I think he's the only one, because they changed the rules after the Red Sox removed him from the 40 man roster.
  19. I believe Slash is referring to Papi's big hit off Keith Foulke in Game 4 of that series with Oakland where he was 2 for 21.
  20. Farrell was interviewed by the Phillies.
  21. Yeah, Sox hitters definitely didn't take advantage of the juiced balls. But look at the numbers: 2015 - average team hit 164 HR's 2016 - average team hit 187 HR's 2017 - average team hit 204 HR's
  22. Dallas Keuchel after last night's game: 'Obviously, the balls are juiced. I think they're juiced 100 percent.'
  23. I think you're trying to make far too much gravy with the 'negative WAR offensive player'. He's not a DH. It's total WAR that matters.
  24. I don't know what they're going to do about Castillo. I agree it's a shame if he gets stuck in tax purgatory. I would think if he continues to really kick ass he'll get out of that purgatory somehow.
