    Arizona is taking quite a beating over how much they gave up for Miller. Keith Law called the cost 'comically high'. A guy at FanGraphs said it was the worst trade in history. I guess it shows the astronomical price of pitching.

    Last offseason drove me nuts. I'm enjoying this one a lot more.
  3. Bellhorn04
    This is for you, Kimmi... @PeteAbe Of note: Jason Varitek was in the #RedSox suite as Dombrowski and Farrell spoke to reporters. He’s in the mix quite a bit.

    Elias may be destined for the bullpen.
  5. Bellhorn04
    The Heathcliff trade came about because Seattle had a historically bad bullpen, blowing games left, right and center. Lou Piniella was on the verge of catastrophic psychosis.
  6. Bellhorn04
    If we acquire another SP it'll be a trade. We're already at about 200 million for tax purposes.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Carson Smith is the big catch. Nice addition to the bullpen.

    Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal Source: #Mariners making progress on trade for #RedSox’s Miley.

    I'm fairly optimistic about Porcello. Of course, the offseason lends itself to optimism bias.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Maybe it's because I'm a bean-counter for a living, but I look at it differently. The extension was signed before Porcello had thrown a pitch for us, and before he threw a pitch he was on the books for 5 years and 95 million. That's the way I look at his contract. He had a bad first year but he can turn it around pretty quickly.

    'Overpay' is such a commonly used word to describe baseball contracts these days that it's losing its meaning. In terms of degree of overpayment based on the player's WAR etc., how would you compare Price's contract to Lester's contract?
  12. Bellhorn04
    nick, why are you spelling it Dumbrowski - not a fan?
  13. Bellhorn04
    And not losing the draft pick has a value in the Price signing.
  14. Bellhorn04
    And the fans pay for the Miller Lite. The money trail leads to the end users.
  15. Bellhorn04
    The craziest part is that it's all paid for by the fans.

    I don't think the ERA+ averages tell the whole story with this group though. Buchholz and Masterson have been tremendously erratic. Masterson was coming off injury and serious decline in velocity. Buchholz and Kelly have had trouble staying healthy. There was a huge amount of X factor with this group, and it blew up.

    Fred, or a toned-down version of him, can now be found on the Boston.com forum. As can Pumpsie Green.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Kimmi, I know all that. You always keep it classy.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Last offseason the focus was on offense, and somebody decided we didn't need an ace that much. We did end up committing $95 million to Porcello, and that was also considered throughout baseball to be an overpay. This offseason the focus is back on pitching. In both offseasons, huge amounts of money have been doled out.

    The last place finishes stunk, but winning a World Series was a real accomplishment.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Theo also overshot the market for Crawford.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Yes - probably more. The nicknames are already in place - DUMBrowski etc.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Theo and Ben also threw tons of money at players. In a period of months Ben spent over $400 million on new contracts.
  24. Bellhorn04
    It all depends how much longer the current rate of salary inflation continues.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Dombrowski doesn't mess around.
