    It's all about trying for rings. The playoffs are a crapshoot.

    I'm the one who's saying it was great. Kinsler has averaged about 6 WAR a year with the Tigers. Well worth 23 million a year by today's values.
  3. Bellhorn04
    How can it be a bad signing when it turned out great for the Tigers?
  4. Bellhorn04
    That point should be amplified by this year's World Series matchup.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Yes, but Miggy and Verlander and V-Mart (mostly) have returned good value in their contracts so far. So maybe Dombrowski should actually be praised for those particular deals...
  6. Bellhorn04
    Truth.

    You didn't modify your argument at all, as far as I can see. My point is that people only liked Drew in 2013 because he was hitting. The 777 OPS and the 67 RBI in 124 games. When he stopped hitting in the postseason many were screaming for Farrell to bench him.
  8. Bellhorn04
    This is wrong, moon. As sk7326 said, Drew had a fine season here. He didn't pluralize. Nobody liked Drew in 2014. He stunk in 2014 and that dragged down those numbers you're citing.
  9. Bellhorn04
    I'd take Verlander.
  10. Bellhorn04
    As has been said many times, the back end of these deals is seldom good.

    The reviews on DD's first draft have been pretty favorable.

    700hitter got it above - Vern Stephens.

    The Red Sox component of this Cubs team is a little amazing. Theo, Rizzo, Lester and Lackey. Theo sort of traded Rizzo to himself, didn't he...sly little weasel that he is.

    Terry Francona is and was a great manager, and we lost 2 3-game sweeps under him too.
  15. Bellhorn04
    4 straight division titles, you can't ask for much more than that. The playoffs are a crapshoot. I don't know if it's fair to call 4 straight division titles the product of a 'win now' mentality, when not many teams have done it.
  16. Bellhorn04
    That list doesn't reflect badly on Dombrowski. 4 out of the 6 are his, and 3 of those 4 have been pretty good players, I'd say.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Jansen is a beast though. 7 from Kershaw and 2 from Jansen would be perfect for the Dodgers.
  18. Bellhorn04
    It was a weak AL rookie field. He would have finished much lower in the NL that year. Luck of the draw. And while Sox fans were pleasantly surprised with his BA, anyone that had even a glimmer of knowledge about baseball stats and analysis knew he was going to regress sharply at some point.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Iggy bears no resemblance to a baseball Mercedes, it's an absurd comparison. He's a slightly above average player, when he plays. A Mercedes is a guy like Betts, an elite talent. Trading Bagwell for Anderson, that was a disastrous deadline trade. This was a good one. I've been highly critical of Cherington for some other moves, but never this one.
  20. Bellhorn04
    I hope the Iggy fans read this and have a response for it.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Peavy also had Quality Starts against Toronto, Tampa and Baltimore that didn't result in wins. He didn't have one start less than 5 innings. Iggy was a 'Mercedes price'? Now that's just hopelessly delusional.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, it sounds like Ausmus is really in love with Iggy, doesn't it?
  23. Bellhorn04
    And another thing: playing the 'Well, I think we probably could have won the World Series without Peavy' card is pretty bad. Nobody will every know that, but Peavy was a good solid #3 which we needed badly with Buchholz on the shelf. Peavy took the ball every 5 days, averaged 6.4 innings per start, which was good for the bullpen, and posted a 102 ERA+ like a #3 is supposed to do. He was also reportedly a good clubhouse presence. It was exactly the move that we didn't make in 2011, and probably cost us the playoffs that year.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Let me make one thing clear. We didn't get equal value on the trade. It was a classic deadline deal. And it did make me nervous at the time. But IMO, Iggy has turned out to be not as good as some of the early prognostications suggested.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I read a number of comments late in the year about JBJ making bad or ill-advised throws.
