  1. Gotta love that opt-out clause. Especially after Sabathia cashed in on his so nicely.
  2. Ha ha...love that opt-out clause. Just like the Sabathia deal.
  3. In my devious mind, I'm thinking the Yankees could force his hand simply by benching him and making him miserable. The only way out for him would be to negotiate a buyout and hook on with another team for a pittance - assuming that he really does want to continue playing baseball.
  4. Sure they do, or not. But so do GM's perform and not perform at constructing a roster and farm system. And I find that fans on these forums love to analyze it all, often at great length.
  5. They care plenty about their performance.
  6. faruk is gone but his work lives on.
  7. Fine, but what about the answer to the question.
  8. Nobody disagrees that more than one more person assembled the 2004 and 2007 teams. If you were going to list the people who assembled those teams in order, where would he rank?
  9. They need Sabathia to bounce back too. But yeah, if they get Tanaka and some other things go right they should be in the mix at least.
  10. You might be surprised how many Sox fans start talking about another championship once the season starts.
  11. You seem a little obsessed with their mediapower. The Yankees are not in a good situation right now or for the next few years as far as I can see. Not unless or until they start producing something out of their farm system.
  12. 'Play the kids' sounds great right now. If we're a few weeks into the season and the tandem of Bogaerts and Middlebrooks is looking shaky, we'll see how long that 'play the kids' attitude holds up. In my experience, not very long.
  13. Yes, it's reasonable and insane at the same time. The paradoxes of baseball economics.
  14. His offense might be overrated a bit. The WAR projections for Drew for 2014 are only about 2, where he was 3.4 on FanGraphs for 2013. Looks like the main reason is his home/road splits. He had an 859 OPS at Fenway and 687 on the road. Which might be one more reason that Boston is the perfect fit for him.
  15. Bogaerts isn't really the issue. A large % of Sox fans who would like Drew to be signed think Middlebrooks is the issue. The team that won the World Series had Drew at SS, Bogey at 3B and WMB on the pine.
  16. So it'll come down to where he wants to play...LA or NY.
  17. That's nonsense. How many feature games had the Giants or the Jets this year? How many had the Patriots or the Broncos?
  18. Great word.
  19. Like Better Call Saul on Breaking Bad.
  20. Holy s*** that's a lot of money. The first 30 million player. Also it exceeds the previous highest total deal for a pitcher by 40 million.
  21. Yes, you figured it out. The entire A-Rod investigation was about increasing your cable bill.
  22. Yes, it was a little strange they didn't punish him further about the fake website. Wasn't worth their while to pursue it I guess.
  23. It seems more likely to me the Yankees will use whatever leverage they have to get him to negotiate a buyout at a lower amount. Then he can try to sign with someone else a la post-suspension Manny. That's all just guessing though.
  24. Well, I think it's a step in the right direction that they were able to get all these suspensions without positive tests. The sickening development for me was the contract Peralta got.
