    I have to say I'm impressed with what I read about the new luxury tax thresholds and rates. I see an attempt at some fiscal sanity there, without going overboard about it.

    Was this really necessary LOL His World Series line of 412/500/471 in 20 PA would have been more meaningful...
  3. Bellhorn04
    Good points.

    I think somebody already proposed this basic scenario: Opening Day catching tandem of Leon and Vazquez. Swihart works on his catching game in Pawtucket. If Swihart looks good, he replaces Leon or Vazquez at some point.

    I think the right wording would be 'He's got too much potential for that.'

    I thought the Giants offered Pablo the same deal as we did, or close to it.
  7. Bellhorn04
    The Yanks will probably get him.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Shaughnessy, what a surprise.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Yes, but if you go to the internet forums for other teams (as mvp went to the SF Giants site) I'm sure you'll find similar complaining and badmouthing by fans. I've done it myself and found it amusing that they sounded just like us. People aren't that different from one place to another. (There are lots of reasonable people on every team's site too.) Its all part of internet behavior.

    It's too much of a generalization. Boston is known as a tough place to play, there's no doubt about that. But if the fans and media are as bad as you're implying, all these free agents wouldn't be coming here in the first place. Unless you're saying that the players who sign here are so ignorant that they have no clue what they're getting into.
  11. Bellhorn04
    It sounds like a deal should get done though.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, things are pretty dead right now with the CBA still not finalized.

    I'd love to have Quintana. But the cost will be so steep we probably can't do it. Even if you traded JBJ for Quintana straight up, you're basically trading 5 WAR for 5 WAR. And you have to give up a lot more than that. We'll probably have to stick with focusing on DH and the bullpen.
  14. Bellhorn04
    What does this mean exactly? Do you have any specific examples of these fan solutions?
  15. Bellhorn04
    I think Rasmus already fell off the cliff. In his 6 years with Toronto and Houston he averaged 230/297/428.
  16. Bellhorn04
    TJ surgery - he'll miss the entire 2017 season.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Everybody please just let that character stuff go and stick to baseball, or YOTN is going to just lock this thread.
  18. Bellhorn04
    He also got Iggy for Avisail Garcia. That looks like a win.
  19. Bellhorn04
    The Travis trade does look bad. But that's about the only one I can see as a clear-cut bad one.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Maybe the fans are too harsh, but it's not a good look for a third baseman when you have a huge slab of blubber hanging over your belt and you seem to be having difficulty making the most routine fielding plays, especially after the positive report about your condition. I also wonder what Pablo was thinking choosing Boston over San Fran where he was so successful and popular. The money reportedly wasn't much different.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Pablo did look pretty bad last spring. And the team showed pretty quickly that they weren't too excited about the way he looked and that Shaw was competing with him for the opening day spot.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Pablo still has the opportunity to get fans back on his side. It's all on him.
  23. Bellhorn04
    VMart could be a valid alternative to Beltran, but only if the Tigers aren't looking for much in return.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Good point.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Matt Cain - one more example of how hard pitching is on the human arm. I would have thought he'd have a long career. Seemed like a big strong guy with a normal throwing motion.
