    Maybe Tomase missed it, but the Red Sox did offer Lester 135 million, according to reports. Cherington had a pretty generous budget last year, IMO. They did manage to find a little over 400 million in the sock drawer for Castillo, Moncada, Hanley, Panda and Porcello. It seems kind of silly to suggest that Ben wasn't given any money to spend.

    Who did this quote come from?

    Whether we like it or not, we may very well need both Buchholz and Miley this year. We're not exactly loaded with good starting pitching.
  4. Bellhorn04
    I think Price gets 7 years/$217 million. The fact that Lester is #3 on the list tells you all you need to know about baseball inflation.

    So he might choke?

    Seriously folks, it is just way too early to be arguing about where E-Rod starts the season.

    Alex Cora ‏@ac13alex 22m22 minutes ago Great news for the Red Sox, Hanley will play WinterBall. (@Enrique_Rojas1)

    There's an old saying that applies to Buchholz: his 'reputation precedes him.' If another starter had Buchholz's 2015 season (113.1 innings of 3.26 ERA, totally legitimate season-ending injury), we would feel much more upbeat about them.

    The only solution is for Hanley to hit like he's capable of. He does have a lifetime OPS of .861. We've got him out of left field. We have an opening at DH beginning in 2017. Yes, I've decided to go optimistic on Hanley. Why not? It's over 4 months till there are real games again.

    Seems to be some buzz about Greinke going to the Giants. Totally FWIW but somebody wrote a piece about Greinke not being totally happy with the clubhouse situation in LA. The Dodgers are currently in the process of hiring a new manager of course. Giants have plenty of money ready to shell out on a starter - remember they were all in on Lester last year. Giants have a pretty good recent history of winning the ring. All just thinking out loud for fun on my part.

    Lackey has been a solid 2 throughout his career, except for 2010 and 2011, when, I'm presuming, he was pitching hurt.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Can't forget about Lackey either.
  13. Bellhorn04
    It's a good thing for Dombrowski that he doesn't have big ears.
  14. Bellhorn04
    All that really matters is what Greinke thinks.
  15. Bellhorn04
    A lot depends on the individual. Last year Lester was down to 3 teams - Cubs, Sox and Giants. He eliminated the Giants, much to their surprise, even though they were reportedly offering more than the Sox and were prepared to keep swinging with the Cubs. Lester handled the situation like a rational human being. He knew he wanted to play for either the Cubs or the Sox for the next 6 years and he knew he was going to be paid an absurd amount of money in either case. Price could easily end up in the same situation.
  16. Bellhorn04
    It makes sense to me, because for the most part, the optimists are or were Ben loyalists and very skeptical of Dombro and his methods.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Kimbrel got off to a rough start last year. Over his last 44 games he had a 1.44 ERA.
  18. Bellhorn04
    One thing I'm quite sure of is they're not going to sign Davis. He'll be much too expensive, an albatross-in-waiting.
  19. Bellhorn04
    It's what we do too. From the time we signed Castillo to the time we extended Porcello we spent over 400 million on 5 players.
  20. Bellhorn04
    You're right about that, he's not a huge bargain at that price, and calling it a no-brainer is probably an overstatement. It was a move that made sense, that's really all it was.
  21. Bellhorn04
    The fact that it's only a one year commitment played into it. The Dodgers could be out $48 million on McCarthy. Good pitchers are just incredibly expensive at this point in time. We ain't seen nothin' yet this offseason.
  22. Bellhorn04
    It's November 15, sk. We have to think positive here IMO.
  23. Bellhorn04
    You may disagree with this but I think a reasonable comp for Buchholz is Brandon McCarthy. McCarthy got 4 years and 48 million before the 2015 season.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Good one.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I think Kimbrel should be worth 1.5-2 more wins. And if we get to the playoffs, maybe 1 more win on top of that.
