I don't disagree.
-
So how can you disagree with it if it made perfect sense - is it that you think they undervalued Iggy? Do you think they could have obtained Peavy for less? Or do you think Peavy wasn't essential? Which is it.
-
What we do know is that Peavy did almost exactly what the Red Sox and what any analyst should have expected him to do. If Ben Cherington thought the team needed exactly what Peavy provided, that's good enough for me. And we all know Ben was not a guy who liked trading prospects.
-
Nobody knows if he was. Nobody knows if he wasn't. Nobody ever will know. Lather, rinse, repeat.
-
The Pomeranz trade looks bad, but at the time we were desperate for another starting pitcher and there wasn't much available, and we were hoping to win a ring. So it has to be put in perspective.

2016-2017 Offseason Trade Speculation Thread

Or a Gremlin. -
If they don't trade Buch, Wright might be a candidate to start the year on the DL, the real one or the phantom one.

GameNGuide? Yeah, that doesn't look like state-of-the art journalism there. Looks like it was written by a 15-year old.

2016-2017 Offseason Trade Speculation Thread
Bellhorn04 replied to Dojji's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
It's not really that puzzling, if the Sox really don't want to pay a fortune in luxury tax. They know they're going to lose some run production but they should offset that with run prevention. -
It was a simple point, really. A GM can 'overpay' for a player and it can still be a smart move, even though critics will say 'Anybody could have done that'.
-
The Mariners weren't interested in Buchholz last year either, they preferred Miley.
-
But Theo's the one that actually did it, and I think it was a very good move.

2016-2017 Offseason Trade Speculation Thread

Signing EE would be totally shocking. -
That wasn't my point at all. I was only responding to the 'Anybody could have done that' comment about overpaying for Price.
-
I meant blind luck for the team he plays for.
-
You do sound confused LOL. Jose Fernandez would be a sad example, I guess, of the role that blind luck plays in everything.
-
If you really want to blame someone for a shift in philosophy, there's only one man you should be blaming and that's JH himself. He's the one who replaced BC with DD, and you can bet DD is doing exactly what JH expected him to do.
-
Us fans could always do things better than the real guys do them.
-
But by the same token, Theo only got Lester because he bumped our offer by 20 million. Most people said Theo overpaid for Lester. Anybody (with the money behind them) could do that too. It's not really the individual moves that determine a GM's success. It's the total package that he puts together.
-
The Chapman trade is not a good comparison point. Dombrowski's trade of 2 months of Cespedes for Michael Fulmer looks pretty shrewd, doesn't it?

You'd need a team of Philadelphia lawyers and Boston accountants to figure out some of this stuff. -
You seem to be right that the players didn't get much. I wonder how the owners pulled that off? Maybe they produced some numbers showing that revenues were going to level off or something.
-
Clay's market value could also increase in the spring if another team loses one of their starters to injury.
-
Just found out that Chapman has an opt-out after Year 3.
-
Do like me, recite 'The Serenity Prayer' and the song 'Forget Domani' and be happy.
