    My point is that it's very possible we had to trade Rizzo to get A-Gon. If that's the case, it's a defensible move, and there's no reason to lament it.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Hoyer was the Padres GM when the trade was made. It's entirely possible that he thought more highly of Rizzo than he did of Lars when the trade was made. Unless anyone has some quotes this is all just speculation.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Lars was Baseball America #87 prospect before 2010 season. Rizzo was Baseball America #75 prospect before 2011 season.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Do we know that San Diego would have taken Lars instead of Rizzo?

    Was 2013 a bridge year? Epstein used the term bridge year for 2010. Has any member of the Sox FO used the term since that year?
  6. Bellhorn04
    That sounds right, but I'm finding it hard to think of any recent teams that made it to the playoffs with that kind of profile.
  7. Bellhorn04
    LOL Epstein had no idea what he was unleashing that fateful day when he introduced the word 'bridge' to a maniacal fandom.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Personally I'd prefer Scherzer over Price, but solely on intangibles. Price looked bad in the incident with Papi.
  9. Bellhorn04
    You're right, of course. Generally speaking, the more teams make the playoffs, the less important it is to win the regular season. Bud Selig 'sort of' addressed this with the new Wild Card structure, but the real inequities are with the large number of divisions. Football is even worse, of course, with Carolina making it to the tournament with a 7-8-1 record.
  10. Bellhorn04
    And yet last year, the teams with the best regular season records went out early and two Wild Card teams ended up in the World Series. Baseball is a game that likes to confuse and confound us. We're always looking for the magic formula and we never find it.

    Thanks yeszir.

    I don't understand a lot of these fringe transactions. Lavarnway has passed through the hands of 3 or 4 teams this offseason.

    Kimmi is a Red Sox fan trying to join the forum. She hasn't been able to, apparently because none of the moderators are around. You probably can't access her page because her account hasn't been activated.
  14. Bellhorn04
    I don't totally disagree with you, in fact I'm probably playing devil's advocate a bit here. But if we judge a pitcher on his postseason credentials, we wouldn't want Kershaw either.

    A poster that I know from other forums has been trying to join up here without success. She tried e-mailing Yeszir and then YOTN. Here is the last message she sent me. My account still hasn't been activated. Youk of the Nation did not respond to my PM. Does it usually take this long to have an account activated? The initial email said it should be less than 24 hours, and it has been a week. I also sent an email to the "Contact Us" link on this site, and no response. Do you have any other suggestions on someone to contact? She's a good poster. Can somebody help?
  16. Bellhorn04
    The other line of thinking, of course, is that you should go all in from Day One because if you don't, you might miss the playoffs by a game.
  17. Bellhorn04
    I think they are all in, for 2 reasons: 1) They're already over the luxury tax threshold. 2) The Ortiz window is closing.
  18. Bellhorn04
    OTOH Shields was the #1 on a team that went to Game 7 of the World Series and he had a very large role in them getting there.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Nolan Ryan handled himself pretty well when Ventura charged him, as I recall.
  20. Bellhorn04
    It was actually a brilliant matador move by Pedro, especially since Zimmer came out of nowhere, and I think Pedro did 'put a little extra into it'. But I've always said Pedro was defending himself and shouldn't be criticized at all.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Losing that game pissed me off so much.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Williams was both blessed and cursed. I read the biography by Montville and I came away feeling sorry for the guy. I don't think his baseball career actually brought him a lot of happiness.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Still and all, Stephen has done OK for himself, having made $45-47 million for his career including this contract.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Thank you Pedro...and Duquette.
  25. Bellhorn04
    The O's have an excellent GM, an excellent manager, and a cheap owner.
