    Kimbrel's cost of $13 million might turn out to be a bargain. If he keeps pitching like this he might end up with a WAR of 3 or more. And as I keep harping about, it's in the postseason where a closer's value can be the greatest. You can't even put a dollar value on what Foulke did for us in '04, Papelbon in '07 or Koji in '13. Theo gave up a top prospect for Chapman to close out a few postseason wins for the Cubs, basically. He wasn't even needed in the regular season.

    Francona took unbelievable abuse throughout his last few years in Boston. Maybe not on this site but on the BDC site and on the nightmarish (LOL) Sawxheads site.

    Yeah I'm just a little dubious about totally relying on the s*** at the wall approach myself. I don't remember too many top notch relievers coming out of nowhere for us. The example that people like to toss out there is Koji. But Koji was always a good pitcher.

    Any examples of a manager winning a game?

    Another possibility that was mentioned was trading for K-Rod, which Detroit did. That also looked pretty good last year and terrible this year.

    The word seems to be out around the majors - if you're looking for a place to ship your damaged goods, Boston is the place. They'll give you lots in return. Best of all, even if they find out the goods are damaged, they'll still accept them!

    I agree with most of this, but I think you're overpraising the Yankees for their 'handling of the closer situation'. They capitalized on some very unusual circumstances when they made that trade for Chapman, I'll leave it at that. Now their $86 million closer is on the DL. I hope he blows up in their faces.

    Santana. His only bad game this year was against us. Not that it really means much.
  9. Bellhorn04
    You keep forgetting you're not in BDC anymore, man. We don't even have dozens of posters here LOL

    FanGraphs says Kimbrel has already delivered $9.5 million of value this year. That's pretty good on May 14.

    Here are some numbers on unearned runs: To date there have been 418 unearned runs allowed by all teams this year, or an average of 14 per team. The Red Sox have allowed 16, so a little worse than average. The Cubs (ha) have allowed the most, 25. The Orioles and the Angels have allowed the fewest, 4.
  12. Bellhorn04
    I sincerely doubt anyone keeps track of that. But if you scroll through pitcher game logs you can see the games in which they gave up unearned runs pretty easily. So this could be done manually. Or you could try your luck with an e-mail to Alex Speier about it...

    Smith and Thornburg definitely earn a 'Thanks Dave!'
  14. Bellhorn04
    They've been saving up.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Better than Mookie?
  16. Bellhorn04
    Kimbrel has been used in some of those difficult spots lately, which is good to see.
  17. Bellhorn04
    More like it.
  18. Bellhorn04
    As much rope as it takes to carry him to his next trip to the DL, I'd say.
  19. Bellhorn04
    What was Pomeranz's projected WAR when we acquired him? What is Beltre's projected WAR now? Aren't those the relevant numbers?
  20. Bellhorn04
    Oh, I don't doubt that. But I do think players have gotten pretty freaking greedy in their own right.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Players hire agents to take care of that, and they don't hire Boras because he's a nice guy.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Here are the team leaders in grounding into DP's: Benintendi 6 Moreland 5 Hanley 5 Betts 4 Vazquez 4 Pedroia 3 Bogaerts 3 Bradley 3
  23. Bellhorn04
    I liked Arroyo too. I disliked that trade too. But the guy has made over $80 million in his career as a perfectly average pitcher, so I don't think he really needs my sympathy.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Players are money grubbing fiends, agents are money grubbing fiends, they're all money grubbing fiends.

    Since Farrell put Mookie at leadoff we've scored the following runs: 11 17 7 4 4 4
