    It's the time for optimism for both Red Sox and Yankee fans. There is room for upticks everywhere you look.

    But both Ellsbury and Gardner had an OPS+ almost identical to the previous year. Some of the decline was in line with league-wide offensive decline, and Ellsbury was also affected by Park Factor. There's no basis in metrics for them having off-years last year.

    Don't.

    I see your point there. I'm just trying to think along with the Sox FO. They don't seem too high on older pitchers these days. And $50 million is not chump change, when you factor in the luxury tax implications and flexibility for 2016.

    I thought Johnson was considered a decent pitching prospect.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Fair point.

    I can't see how a trade for Lee would appeal to them more than signing Shields. Assuming Lee is healthy you get 2 years for $50 million. The delta between that and Shields's contract is 2 years and $25 million. Shields was younger with no injury ? and didn't cost any prospects.

    Now picture Ruth on roids.

    Ruth, Jordan, Orr and Jim Brown Hockey is: 1 Orr 2 Howe 3 Gretzky

    It's a WWF tag-team match.

    Bard was a freak case. He said he wanted to be a starter so they let him give it a shot. No one could foresee that he was going to become a victim of an extremely rare malady like Steve Blass Disease.

    Unfortunately, only their Twitter accounts arrived.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, I'm sure they would let him do that.
  14. Bellhorn04
    If they do trade Swihart for Hamels, of course, it automatically leads to this question: 'Why the f*** didn't you just sign Lester?'
  15. Bellhorn04
    It's that 12.5 million buyout that makes Lee's contract extra scary. If he gets injured you could end up paying him 37.5 million for a year or less. From everything I've read that 12.5 million is guaranteed money. He either gets that or he gets a second year at 25 million if he reaches 200 innings and his option vests.

    I like Cliff Lee too. But if the Sox were unwilling to give Shields 75 million for 4 years, I can't see them giving up a prospect and 37.5-50 million for one or two years of Lee.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Papelbon too. Has to be the worst management in baseball right now.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I find your position abundantly clear.
  19. Bellhorn04
    The extension was triggered by the opt-out that kicked in after 3 years - 3 very good years by Sabathia. It was the opt-out itself that was deadly.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Why 'baffling' extension, sk?
  21. Bellhorn04
    My only prediction is that I will be drinking a lot of rum and Cherry Kool-Aid cocktails this year.
  22. Bellhorn04
    The Red Sox don't seem to have any interest in Shields, dropping price or not.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Telling Fred to chillax is like telling your wife to calm down, or trying to herd cats.
  24. Bellhorn04
    The Cubs time may be here for real. The Sox brass is probably relieved we don't play the Cubs in interleague for awhile.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Yes, that and $155 million. I'm kidding about that. But the presence of Theo and Hoyer and Dempster and the idea of helping the Cubs break their 100 year + drought obviously appealed to Jon. This was a huge decision in his life and he treated it as such.
