It's a very interesting and surprising choice. I'd like to say it's a mistake because of the lack of experience, but Cashman has been making all the right moves lately, so I'm in no position to criticize him.
-
Well now you're just re-stating the obvious. You're leaving out the possibility that we become sellers. That's how your team did a lot of its re-loading if I recall correctly.
-
But he did pull the trigger in 2015. Castillo, Hanley, Panda, Porcello extension - over $300 million laid out with those moves. Miley and Masterson. He tried to pull the trigger, but he misfired.
-
I think Cherington left Dombrowski with absolutely no alternative but to trade off a big chunk of the prospects for pitching. Cherington left us with almost no good pitchers at the MLB level, and no pitching prospects anywhere near MLB ready. Plus some crippling contracts.

Except '3 year window' doesn't automatically imply disaster at the end of the window.
-
It exists for you, Kimmi. You're certainly entitled to think of it that way, but not everyone is required to think of it that way.
-
Another question that arises is, what could DD have done better than he did? The move that seems to be criticized the most is the Kimbrel trade. So OK, take that one back. Would we be in fantastic shape for the future if he didn't make that move?
-
I think the history of MLB in this millennium demonstrates that it's extremely difficult, if not impossible, to have a dynasty or anything close to it. Not one team has even won back-to-back. You can do everything right and still come up short. Look at what happened with Cleveland the last 2 years. They put together great teams, they have a great manager, and guess what? Still looking for their first title since 1948.

The clock is always ticking, isn't it? Cheap young talent doesn't stay that way for very long. That is, arguably, an argument for the Win Now approach.
-
If his back fusion surgery holds up the comeback is real, I think. His swing looks great and his putting stroke looks great. His attitude also seems great. I'd like to see Tiger win another major or two. It was kind of a bummer that he got stuck on 14.

Benintendi and Devers?
-
Right, but if it's a powerful hurricane and your property is in the path of destruction, preparation consists of evacuating and coming back later to deal with the devastation. It's a metaphor that half-works...
-
MLBTR seems to think it's between Boone and Meulens.
-
Good word, isn't it.
-
Who brought it up in the first place? Who has posted the most about it, by a wide margin?
-
It'd be fine if it was a mere suggestion. It's been more like a daily hammering.
-
And another thing - if the Red Sox Cliff does come, it ain't gonna kill anyone.
-
No. An oncoming hurricane can be predicted with a very high degree of accuracy. You're talking about something that's going to happen in the next day or two. And nothing can be done to stop it.
-
And Ziegler did well.
-
It doesn't exist YET. Saying that something that might happen in the future exists is a logical fallacy. Hypothetical outcomes do not exist. THE POSSIBILITY exists. I don't think anyone is denying that.
-
I'm a little iffy on that part, I guess, but overall it seems like a solid package of moves.
-
Nice start for Tiger! And he is indeed hitting the ball a long way, keeping up with JT.
-
But he also had 22 Holds. So he was 35 of 40 in Hold/Save opportunities. Do you think he's a guy who can set up but not close? Do you think some guys don't like the pressure of being the closer? Let's have some opinions, not just facts!
-
I like this one.
-
Good, you've said all you need to say about it, then.
