JF Fired, New Thread, Please see new link

Except DD interviewed him for the job Sunday, didn't he? -
Think Jeter would have the stones to trade him to the Sox and incur the wrath of some Yankee fans?
-
Huh?
-
Not right now, because of the injury risk factor.
-
Betts, Benintendi, Devers were zombies who don't care about winning? You're too far over the top to take seriously.
-
I agree, bad strategy.
-
It has to be very tricky, even for the managers, who have more info about it than anybody.
-
Yes, the Recency Effect is large.
-
Stanton is a big talent, maybe a consistent .900 OPS guy if he stays healthy. But he won't be averaging any 60 HR's a year. MLB might even look to deaden the baseball or something...not everyone was thrilled about the big spike in HR's this year.
-
Who knows. You have to say we really did catch lightning in a bottle in 2013, considering what happened to those guys after that (aside from Koji).
-
Well, yeah, if we had Lackey and we didn't sign Pablo and Hanley and if Ben didn't play 'Who's the Ace', a lot of things might have been different...
-
Ain't that the truth. And Shaughnessy is a consummate knight of the keyboard. (Love that expression.)
-
Pure supposition.
-
Where'd Lackey rank 2014-2016?
-
True.
-
Too little too late though.
-
OK. But it was still a lousy trade. And Lackey was vastly better than any of our 'Who's the Ace' crew in 2015. My sense is that you just don't like the guy.
-
Ben's career as a GM is a tough one to assess. But I'm somewhat of the belief now that he was never really comfortable being a GM. I think he likes being in the background a little more.
-
Good post...and I really like the wheelbarrow metaphor.
-
I made a comment similar to this a few months ago. Having given it some further thought, I would say that Price would definitely get more latitude for being abusive toward TM or DS, but he wouldn't necessarily get a free pass to say and do whatever he wanted. It would all depend on the circumstances. TM and DS are human beings too (LOL).
-
Yasiel Puig has to be the most, umm... 'flamboyant' baseball player I've ever seen.
-
Classic sour grapes LOL
-
I certainly agree about Theo, but I'm not sure there's enough evidence to say exactly how Ben operates. If Larry was making so many moves, then Ben was kind of a puppet. And it's important to note that Ben has not had any other experience as a GM to evaluate him on.

Mookie, Petey and the First Pitch (Think Altuve)

It's an endless duel of wits between pitchers and hitters. I love it. There are some real similarities to rock/paper/scissors. -
No one should hold Porcello's 2016 season against him. But his 2015 and 2017 seasons were certainly big disappointments.
