Even the great Theo (and I do think he's the best) in his Cubs tenure has handed out a couple of contracts to Lester and Heyward that you would have to say were for too long and too much.
-
There really is no surefire guaranteed method for sustained success, not the way the system is now, as we can see in the fact that no team has been able to repeat since the 2000 Yankees. Avoiding any free agent deals longer than 3 years sounds like a great idea but it's pretty hard to get any top-line players on such deals. It will get you players like Cherington signed in 2013. It worked for one year, not so much after that.

Pedroia undergoes microfracture surgery
Bellhorn04 replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Holt is about average as a second baseman. -
How could he have significantly upgraded our pitching without depleting the farm?
-
In a way Hanley suffers from being lumped together with Panda. They were like a package deal! Their signings were announced on the same day. $41 million of combined annual salary.
-
Unfortunately there isn't a great supply of strong replacements, so the manager is faced with a choice between the good player who's banged up or a healthy minor leaguer.
-
Forget Moreland. I read that he is contemplating surgery himself.
-
The answer is this: Dombrowski does not dick around.
-
Why not just assume HanRam is untradeable? On top of everything else he just had surgery.
-
None of these awards mean a thing to me. Nor do any other of the other awards in the worlds of sports, the arts, whatever.
-
Unfortunately gold glove has become a joke. Sox fans got another reminder of that with Moreland. Dude won a GG in 2016 in spite of having nothing bot negative defensive metrics.
-
I suspect the Red Sox are prepared to do whatever it takes to sign Martinez.
-
Can we infer from the Encarnacion contract that 'the industry' is not as willing to spend like drunken sailors for DH types now?
-
I concur. moon, no more posts about trading HanRam, please.
-
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.
-
Pretty much.
-
There is no end to your cruelty toward baseball coaches, managers and executives.
-
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.
-
Sure, it's weak, and that's mainly because of the trades, but it's also because Benintendi and Devers graduated young.
-
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.
-
Also largely responsible for the Red Sox's appearance in the 2017 playoffs...
-
I am saddened that you overlooked the posts about this by Slash and myself.
-
Benintendi + smaller parts could do it. Obviously it depends what other teams are offering. But only the richest teams are even in play.
-
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.

Theo!
