    Also have to keep in mind that the $20 million salary doesn't start until 2016.
  2. Bellhorn04
    As you know, FG valued Porcello at about $20 million for both 2013 and 2014. I believe they convert the WAR into dollars based on free agent contract values. It may seem ridiculous but FG is saying a 3 WAR player is worth about $20 million on the market now.

    Not much is surprising me anymore in the prices for pitching, because it's a market in the throes of runaway inflation. The amount that Lester got was fairly staggering. $155 million, a $25.83 million AAV for a guy whose career numbers profile him as a #2 (that we know is capable of pitching like a #1 for stretches).
  4. Bellhorn04
    I agree that the $20 million sets a new bar for annual salary for a pitcher with Porcello's profile. However, the flip side is that the bar for the # of years in a contract for a pitcher with his profile would be 5 or 6. He got a premium on the salary and gave a discount on the years. That's the way I see it anyway.

    I find that thread pretty entertaining myself. However, on a different thread YOTN said he was getting sick of all the fighting here and wasn't going to put up with much more of it.

    What I thought was particularly egregious about the Pujols deal was that the A-Rod disaster was sitting there in the Angels' faces as evidence of why this would be a massive mistake. Next up for scrutiny will be the Miggy deal. But he is raking right now so no one cares.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Good for you. You're a cold-blooded better.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Did you bet on Porcello?
  9. Bellhorn04
    Just another routine well-pitched game.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Not so sure about that. The Cubs are 12-7 with Lester at 0-2. Nice start if you ask me.
  11. Bellhorn04
    You're saying Tanaka is the key to our season?
  12. Bellhorn04
    Fred, this isn't the first time you've done this. That's really senior.
  13. Bellhorn04
    I'm left wondering what reliever they will recall from the PawSox next.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Nah, he'll just go into the confused old Mister Magoo routine.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Varvaro is going to be earning his pay this year.
  16. Bellhorn04
    It's so early. His average went from 189 to 225 since the start of last night's game.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Lester has been struggling too.
  18. Bellhorn04
    But UN is correct when he says Fred doesn't want to trade Betts or Swihart for Hamels, and they are the two guys Philly probably wants.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Calling Mister Magoo!
  20. Bellhorn04
    Thanks, but unfortunately I have no idea how that works.
  21. Bellhorn04
    What type of bets have you been placing against him?
  22. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, right, because he was on paternity leave a couple of days. You're mocking the s*** out of him is what you're doing.
  23. Bellhorn04
    What leads you to think he wouldn't rather keep his job playing baseball?
  24. Bellhorn04
    In terms of the total dollars, the Miley contract does not represent a very large risk for a team with this much money.
  25. Bellhorn04
    That's understandable. But there can be risk involved in that as well. If Miley gets off to a great start the price goes up and maybe he and his agent say 'We'll talk after the season.' I don't think the Sox would have done this unless they thought it could save them a lot of money.
