    The Beckett trade should never be second-guessed. As you implied, it resulted in a championship. Also, there's no way of knowing what it would have taken to obtain Halladay or Felix. It's amazing the fascination we have with analyzing things that might have been or not been. A remarkably pointless exercise, if you really think about it.

    One little footnote on the Arroyo trade that I'm sure I've mentioned before...Epstein did manage to convert Pena into 2 draft picks (traded Pena for C. Carter, traded Carter for Billy Wagner, got the picks when Wagner went elsewhere). One of the picks was used to take Ranaudo.

    Here is the complete list of pitchers on the Yankees' current 40-man roster that pitched more than 5 innings of relief in the majors last year: DRob 66.1 IP / 2.04 ERA / 2.4 WAR Warren 77.0 / 3.39 / 1.2 Nuno 20.0 / 2.25 / 0.7 Thornton 43.1 / 3.74 / 0.5 Claiborne 50.1 / 4.11 / 0.3 Kelley 53.1 / 4.39 / 0.0 Phelps 86.2 / 4.98 / -0.1 Phelps's numbers are total including starting appearances. As it stands this is one incredibly thin-looking pen. I know they have a bunch of young guys who'll be auditioning. It's very surprising, though, that they didn't pick up a guy like Balfour, who seemed like a great fit at a reasonable cost. Have to think there are more moves coming...but it's still a little puzzling.

    Madson got $6 million in 2012 from the Reds without throwing a pitch for them. He got $3.25 million in 2013 from the Angels without throwing a pitch for them. I don't have a good punch line for this joke but I know there must be one.

    You don't get enough credit for your sense of humor, Fred.

    Not buying it, SoxSport. When the games start people have a habit of wanting to win 'em. Lots of people already talking about the Sox repeating.

    Ha...if only it worked that way for everybody. I remember in the 2005 season people ragging on Francona for sticking with Millar, ragging on Epstein for Clement and Wells and 'Rent-a-Wreck', ragging on Foulke for sucking, ragging on Manny for being a malcontent etc. I remember 2008 for people ragging on Francona for getting outmanaged by Madden etc.

    We'll see how mild you stay when the real games start up again, Fred.

    I don't think everybody in the Yankee FO is on the same page LOL

    Schilling actually had World Series heroics for 3 teams. In Game 5 of the 1993 WS, with the Phillies trailing the Jays 3-1, he pitched a complete game shutout to keep the Phils alive. They lost in Game 6 on the Joe Carter HR.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, in spite of whatever flaws he may have, I agree with this.

    And we'll know how shrewd Scotty has been when his client signs. It appears that if in fact the Sox have made him an offer it's for a low AAV...if it's true they want him to be a super utility guy they may have only offered $6-8 million a year. Who knows, really...

    Yankees think their bullpen is all set obviously, after replacing Logan with Thornton and Rivera with nobody.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Well OK, a few of the picks are pretty obvious. You don't have to be a baseball Nostredamus to know that the Dodgers will win their division or that the Astros will suck.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Nobody can predict any of it. I have no idea why people even waste their time with this stuff.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Seems like a distinct possibility. But we won't know for sure till Drew signs.
  17. Bellhorn04
    It's a little shocking to see the calamities that have befallen Schilling since the end of his baseball career. He had seemed like one of those people who would always be on the winning side.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Yes, well said.
  19. Bellhorn04
    LOL He rankles me too. I guess I just see him as a symbol of greed. I enjoy his failures.
  20. Bellhorn04
    I view all the heartbreaks before 2004 through the lens of 3 championships now, and it puts a much pleasanter perspective on things.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Manny's game-winning bomb against the Angels in the 2007 ALDS.
  22. Bellhorn04
    There's nothing wrong with my memory at all, I'm just pointing out what the most recent rumors are. And John Farrell ain't the general manager.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Way to read all the posts again, Fred! (You obviously missed the one about the Sox wanting Drew to be a utility infielder.)
  24. Bellhorn04
    Robertson may very well be able to do the job as closer, but he needs to be replaced as setup guy. As of today they're down one pretty big piece from last year's bullpen.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I'm baffled that the Yankees haven't done more about their bullpen. They spend hundreds of millions but they won't outbid the Rays for Balfour?
