On the RH bat thing, here's what might be the most telling 2024 split: Red Sox LHB at Fenway .775 Red Sox RHB at Fenway .698 -
The only good idea in this area is to accept the way it is (controlled by greedy SOBs) and spend your energy elsewhere. 😇
-
Which is a blatantly circular argument. Henry obviously wouldn't have brought DD in unless it was to go for a title and spend. Let's put the blame where it really belongs - on the pale, mercurial fellow, JH.

Yes, but not like Pedroia's extension was. 😜

Also Kimbrel.

A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part I
Bellhorn04 replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Any talk on that Twins site about how they're the Yankees' whipping boys? -
How much longer? He had a 2.0 fWAR this year.
-
Was the Bogaerts extension good or bad? I have to go with good. They got 3 good years pretty cheap, and it's hard to say the opt out has hurt us. I was fine with the Eovaldi extension. Nate has proven he's great when healthy, with health being a constant concern. Many of us lamented that we didn't keep him. The Sale extension has been beaten to death, of course.
-
Those grades seem very fair.
-
An interesting discussion would be "Who are the best CBOs in baseball and why?" Right away I think you'd have to divide them into 2 groups: CBOs with fat budgets and CBOs with tight budgets.
-
It's really hard to repeat in MLB, seemingly harder all the time. Hasn't happened since 2000. In 2019 we experienced some of the reasons why that is. IMHO.

Or for what Henry was offering. Dave has never been shy about offering top of the market money for elite talent, after all.

He did have to start at the bottom with Detroit.

Some things get changed and never come back. That's one of them.
-
When those Sunday double headers get rained out, boy, you've really got problems. I don't think anyone would agree to that idea, frankly.
-
One thing about Dombrowski is you don't get very many mystery moves. His moves are almost always self-explanatory.
-
Yeah, it's just never as simple as we'd like it to be. I think he did an excellent job given the mandate most of us assume he had.
-
The problem of course is that some of those are debatable. (One like Thornburg is not.)
-
There's really nothing wrong with having more than one #2. #2s might way the way to go, really. Plus a stronger bullpen, obviously.
-
Guys you would have to consider no-doubt trade material and having some real market value: Abreu Hamilton Grissom Yoshida (would have to be plus money or talent, obviously) Prospects not in the Fab Four (Meidroth?)
-
It seems like Anthony has risen so quickly that he's almost a proven commodity beyond any of those prospects we traded with the possible exception of Hanley. Personally I think we should just sign a starting pitcher. I don't think it's necessary to trade any of the Fab Four. Plus with the way they've been promoting the kids, and with all their other recent PR gaffes, I'm not sure they're even considering it.
-
The available-for-money-only Jack Flaherty looked fairly ace-like last night. Of course he could be the next Montgomery, too.
-
Can't be said enough! 😜
-
Rumor had it the Red Sox weren't really interested in Montgomery because they didn't think highly of his stuff.
-
That is the unvarnished truth.
