    Price did pitch out of the pen once in last year's playoffs.

    I think it's pretty cool that Epstein gave Manny a job in the Cubs organization.

    The game you're referring to was in 2005. I was at that game.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Hard to figure why the Twins would have any interest in 2 months of Buch.
  5. Bellhorn04
    'Pommelhorse' if he turns out to be a stud.
  6. Bellhorn04
    There you go.

    I'm not buying this analysis. Price's run support has been 4.96 per game. Yes, that's below the Red Sox team average per game, but it's also equal to the average per game of Baltimore, who are second in runs scored.

    To me a WAR analysis makes more sense with Buchholz. WAR accounts for the # of innings and you can assume that the other innings that year were filled by someone with a 0 WAR. But it's all a moot point because he has no value any more.

    My position is simply that there is a big difference between a talent-for-talent trade and a salary dump. The Dodger transaction was a great salary dump, but I'll never think of it as a great trade. By the same token, if I was a Blue Jays fan I'd think of getting Donaldson as a great trade, and getting rid of Vernon Wells as a great dump.
  10. Bellhorn04
    2 entirely separate transactions that you are trying to connect. Much like the money we saved on the Dodger Dump and how we spent that money, isn't it?
  11. Bellhorn04
    Right. That's why I say it was no more than a salary dump. So then you have to trace what we did with the money. The 2013 free agent signings helped us win a title, which was great. But then came signings like Castillo and Pablo which were even worse than Crawford. A mixed bag to put it mildly.
  12. Bellhorn04
    That could change pretty quickly though.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Agreed. But you have to admit, the Cherington years go down as one of the weirdest stretches ever. One championship and 3 last place finishes, 2 of which were among the worst Red Sox seasons since the early Sixties, in spite of huge payrolls.

    Sorry Flap, I just can't get too excited about De La Rosa, Webster, Miley et al. The Holt pickup was very nice. But these are some real bit players we're talking about.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, I realize I'm on somewhat shaky ground with that statement. The short-term benefits were definitely there. But did any of those benefits extend beyond 2013?
  16. Bellhorn04
    They are definitely in Bud Selig's Twilight Zone at the moment.
  17. Bellhorn04
    It'll be very interesting to see how Cashman handles this trade deadline.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I always respectfully disagree with you about the AGon trade being one of the great trades. To me it was a great salary dump, that's it. We got nothing in return except financial relief - and it's questionable whether we made good use of that relief. Maybe I'm a purist in some ways, but I think in a great trade you get back a player who helps you a lot.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Here's how you 'hope for' the Yankees: 'Come on you miserable scumbags, win this game for us, even though you suck and are going to end up under .500 this year.' 'Come on you worthless pukes. Etc.'
  20. Bellhorn04
    He's pitching a gem, in a pretty big game for him and the Cubs, for this time of year.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Both the little bastards are in storage right now.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Ben was a nurturer.
  23. Bellhorn04
    When you talk about trading Rizzo you're talking about the inherent risk of any trade of good prospects. Usually the other team gets squat, but sometimes they get the golden nugget. The really bizarre part is that the Padres gave up on him after a rough debut and let him slip away. Meanwhile we give up on Lars Anderson after he loses most of his value and trade him for a knuckleballer who's our best starter this year.
  24. Bellhorn04
    The trade for Peavy didn't cost us much, relatively speaking.
  25. Bellhorn04
    He's more than upfront, he's relentless.
