    Thanks...I seem to have a knack for gallows humor.
  2. Bellhorn04
    One thing that doesn't get as much attention as the rotation choices is that nothing was done to strengthen the bullpen either.

    Kimmi, it's kind of frightening to think that this nightmarish season was the result of a good plan. I'd hate to see a bad one.

    He did have a good foundation. But the team he inherited had missed the playoffs 3 years in a row and had won exactly one playoff series under Duquette. In the 9 years Theo was GM our worst season was 86-76, and we know all the rest. He was a hugely successful GM in his own right.

    I know what you're saying. But we're talking about a team that got shut out the previous two games benching the guy with the highest OBP on the team for a doubleheader. You're right that it didn't matter much. That just shows what a clusterf*** it's become.

    I'm now of the belief that Farrell's brain is completely fried.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Yeah this is beyond f***ed-up now. Farrell has officially melted down.

    So Hamels has had 2 horrific starts in a row, and Cueto looked today like there might be something wrong with his arm.

    Of course he's concerned about his financial status for next year. That's only normal human behavior. I don't see anything to hate on Buchholz about this year. He pitched very well, he was going deep in games, then he injured his elbow.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Buchholz is a flake, no question. But for a 30-year old pitcher with no 2016 contract, being concerned about the health of his pitching elbow doesn't really make him a wimp.

    Anybody But the Yankees.

    Looks like it's just about time to pull out the ABY cap.

    As User Name has pointed out a few times, this is what bad teams do - you lose 8-6 one game, 1-0 the next game. That we managed to do it with the same guy on the mound just adds a little extra twist with the knife.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Not that we have much to sell.
  15. Bellhorn04
    This will be Miley's 4th start in our last 10 games. When you have a stud hoss you have to ride them.
  16. Bellhorn04
    The Yanks bullpen has been a big part of their success, I think.
  17. Bellhorn04
    No it is.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Very doubtful. And it would only be a pitcher who is under control beyond this year.

    I'm very glad that I'm a golf fan along with being a Sox fan. There's always something going on in golf and hardly any of it causes me any pain.

    Besides Spieth and Johnson, other guys I liked going into this - most are obvious. Rickie Fowler Henrik Stenson Justin Rose Louis Oosthuizen (won here in 2010) Paul Casey (runner-up here in 2010) Luke Donald - dark horse pick

    There's going to be some wild weather for this one. You can't bet against Spieth right now. Nice to see Dustin Johnson get off to a good start too.

    One of the guiding principles of AAV calculations seems to be that only the money that is guaranteed to the player at the outset of the contract is counted. With Buchholz's options there are buyout amounts that the club has to pay if they decline the options - those are the only amounts Buchholz is guaranteed to receive, and they are factored into the AAV amounts.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Right - Buch's is a team option so it's a standalone.
  24. Bellhorn04
    If his option is picked up he would count as $13 million for 2016. The option year is treated as a standalone 1 year contract.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Buchholz's option isn't counted. Only guaranteed money counts for luxury tax purposes.
