    Wow, this article is quite a hatchet job. Drew being signed and Bogaerts being moved to third in 2014 coincided with Middlebrooks getting injured. A lot of assumptions about Farrell being the one making decisions like promoting Vazquez or trying Swihart in left. And where is the mention of Shaw starting over Panda or how well the young guys are doing this year? (Note to Fred - I realize the reason you posted this was only because of Swihart.)

    Buchholz is only a sliver of the problem really. Ben left us with a paper-thin rotation and a bloated payroll. Acquiring Price & Kimbrel put us way over the luxury tax limit. So to sign a guy like Chen you have add on 30% in tax. The only real option is to trade prospects for a cost-controlled arm.

    They invested 13 million in Young. He's got his OPS up to .787 now. Not sure why this is even a topic.
  4. Bellhorn04
    I don't disagree.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Mets fans are singing the blues about letting Murphy go.
  6. Bellhorn04
    True, but he got 71.6% of the vote this year so he's very close. Not like Clemens & Bonds who got less than 50%.

    Chen would have cost us the #12 pick in the draft.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Love to see Vazquez with the contributions on O.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Agreed. Did you post on BDC?

    Schilling has the 2nd-best K-BB ratio in history. First is an Irishman named Tommy Bond, who pitched from the years 1874 to 1884.
  11. Bellhorn04
    I say yes. His postseason resume is among the best ever, if not the best. Add that on to some truly epic seasons and that crazy K-BB ratio.
  12. Bellhorn04
    So much depends on whether Holt really is this guy who wilts after a while. If he is then moving him this year makes sense.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Starting pitching is worse, agreed. But relief pitching is better. So the net decrease in runs scored is not large.
  14. Bellhorn04
    No, they just get to stiff him in 2017. Same goes for any team that gifts him this year.
  15. Bellhorn04
    We were 4-3 against KC last year and 6-1 in 2014. MLB is not the best place to look for logical results.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Max is quite harmless. He just has a certain schtick.
  17. Bellhorn04
    I'm surprised he hasn't added it to his sig yet.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I get that. But I am guessing Schilling was pretty well-off before this venture. He literally bet the farm. It was a terrible risk IMO.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Young's OPS is up to .802. He's doing fine.
  20. Bellhorn04
    No question, but I think that part sort of depends on the guys hitting behind you.
  21. Bellhorn04
    It might even have been enough to retain Lester and Lackey.
  22. Bellhorn04
    A .333 OBP is usually considered to be better than a .250 OBP.
  23. Bellhorn04
    At first I thought OPS was quite silly. Then I looked at the list of the all-time OPS leaders and I thought, OK, I guess there's some merit there after all.
  24. Bellhorn04
    It just baffles me that a guy like Schilling would stake his financial well-being on freaking video games.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Bonds will have trouble getting in.
