Koji, Taz and Ziegler got pretty big money all things considered. DD has decimated the farm but he's been pretty good at keeping the payroll within budget.
-
LOL this is going to be one interesting season.
-
It'll be no surprise if the bastard has one of his best seasons this year.
-
I started following the Sox in 1969. I didn't pay much attention to the front office management of the team until they started doing things like not sending a new contract agreement to Carlton Fisk on time.
-
It wasn't a big risk. The worst case scenario was eating a few million to trade him.
-
That's certainly possible. Ain't over yet, though.
-
Yep. And the Phillies may have been the only real suitor. They might have gone in another direction rather than wait around.
-
I think the real question is whether JH is willing to pay the price and suffer the future tax ramifications for signing EE. It would appear that up till now he has not been. But who knows if EE's price really drops.
-
Moreland was a solid signing, just not a sexually arousing one. I guarantee one thing, that signing won't be the deciding factor on whether they sign one of the boppers or not.
-
Cut it out with the Betts trade talk...yeesh. Guy almost won the MVP. He's the Franchise with Papi gone.
-
That's what he made in 2016.
-
Never any debate here, that's for sure. Everyone just nods in agreement.
-
And you have to drink it bubbling hot for full hellish effect.
-
moon, check out Brad Ziegler's career numbers. His FIP is about a run higher than his actual ERA.
-
The timing of this and the miniscule return does raise the possibility there might be another move in the offing...
-
Yeah, none of this surprises me.
-
It may well have been Theo who chose Crawford. But Larry had actually come out prior to that and prior to the Gonzo trade and virtually assured Red Sox Nation that the team was going to make 2 major acquisitions, one by free agency and one by trade. It was kind of an amazing pronouncement...it definitely seemed like the FO was anxious to assure fans that the team wasn't happy about 2 straight years with no postseason wins.
-
Sure they are. Bad as we fear: 1978, 1986, 2003, 2011. Good as we hope for: 2004, 2007, 2013.
-
Come on folks, it's almost Christmas, let's be a little more charitable toward each other. Kimmi's analogy may not have been perfect, but it doesn't warrant such abuse. It's like partisan politics here. You Americans are such hard-asses.
-
DD arguably left the Tigers in better shape than when he took over. (The 2001 team was 66-96.) Going by W-L record he did, at least.
-
Larry gets credit for that one, doesn't he?
-
And that's exactly what Dombrowski has in mind - one ring followed by 10 last place finishes.
-
'Big splash names' is kind of derogatory, isn't it? Kimbrel, Price and Sale are all legitimate top-of-the-line talents. Was Manny Ramirez also a 'big splash name'? I tend to think of Crawford and Panda as the 'big splash names' because they seem to have been too much about selling tickets and not enough about improving the team.
-
Please please no political comments.
-
If that actually happened they should have called his bluff. I really don't believe a guy as competitive as Lackey would have stopped playing baseball for the sake of a spiteful disagreement. He and his agent agreed to the damn contract in the first place and he did get paid a lot of money while he was playing injured and recovering from surgery.
