    Bumgarner is an interesting guy to watch. He doesn't look like that much at first, but he is moving the ball all over the place with great command/control...a guy who really knows what he's doing.
  2. Bellhorn04
    I don't think they are 100% meaningless. But they are meaningless without other data like run support.

    To be exact: Mookie's BA with 2 outs and RISP is .500, in 36 at-bats. Mookie's BA with RISP is .376, in 85 at-bats. All the more reason I want him at the plate as much as possible!

    I don't think he's free, the Yankees are keeping him as an 'advisor'.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Canseco was telling the truth, but if he was only doing it to make a buck, he ain't much of a hero either.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Sounds right.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Unless it lands you in jail.

    moon, why don't you give some examples of these 'strategic signings of mid level FAs to short term deals to fill the gaps' that you like. Because all you've done is list signings of all types that you didn't like.
  9. Bellhorn04
    So I guess what you're saying is, don't sign anybody! Unless, of course, you know you're going to get full value from them. Yes that should work. I wonder why Theo Ben & DD haven't followed that simple rule.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Weren't Masterson, Dempster and Victorino exactly the kind of FA signings you're in favor of? Beckett was never signed by us as a FA.
  11. Bellhorn04
    It happened with Sabathia. It might also be happening with Greinke. But we're certainly not off to a promising start with Price.

    I agree with you that the benefits of the opt-out all rest with the player. My only point to Dewey is that there is a possible scenario where the Red Sox could essentially 'get lucky' and have the opt-out work in their favor, but all things being equal, they would be much better off without the opt-out.
  13. Bellhorn04
    And Scherzer has pitched very well in Years 1 and 2 of his deal...as has Lester.
  14. Bellhorn04
    And Betts has hit 3 homers of 425 feet or longer this year.
  15. Bellhorn04
    It's not missing the point of the post I was responding to.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Yep.
  17. Bellhorn04
    There is a fairly obvious scenario where the Sox win: Price pitches well from here to end of Year 3, opts out, signs elsewhere for big money, then flops. We therefore get 3 good years and someone else pays the freight on the bad years. Like I said earlier, just look at what happened on the opt-out with Sabathia. The Yanks would have been better off letting him exercise it - which he would have if they didn't bend over and give him a further 2 years.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Put it this way - in retrospect, the Yankees would have been far better off letting Sabathia opt out. It would have made that contract a good deal for them.
  19. Bellhorn04
    It was especially disappointing after losing 5 of 6 at home to Minny and Detroit.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Farrell has to be on thin ice. The team was supposed to be all-in on making the playoffs this year, and they are playing their way out of them.
  21. Bellhorn04
    I don't think anybody even cares that much any more.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Ah, it just seemed like a good opportunity for a smartass remark, what can I say.
  23. Bellhorn04
    You do come up with some novel complaints. Not too many fans give a crap about or even know how much the managers get paid.
  24. Bellhorn04
    You only have to look back a mere 5 years: 2011 Ellsbury 321/376/552 32 HR 105 RBI
  25. Bellhorn04
    Just imagine how John Henry feels...it's like a weird new curse.
