    So I am guessing that if A-Road loses his appeal of the suspension, for every game he plays this year he'll miss a game at the start of the 2015 season. LOL

    Baseball GM's notoriously place a lot of emphasis on what the player did the previous season. They don't call it the 'contract year' for nothing. Shields's 2012 season was so much better than Lester's, there's no way he wasn't preferable at that point in time.
  3. Bellhorn04
    KC giving up Myers for Shields would seem to reinforce that we did pretty well getting Peavy for Iglesias.

    And tonight, as the New York Post so cleverly put it, The Banned Plays On.

    The oddest quote in that article for me is where he calls Jeremy Guthrie a 'horrific signing'. Isn't that a wee bit over the top? Guthrie's numbers look just about right to me for a guy making 25 million over 3 years.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Well, they certainly should have suspected it at the very least. And even if they thought he was cleaner than Snow White, giving him 10 years was an act of staggering stupidity.

    The only Forbes revenue figures that I can find, from the 2013 Business of Baseball issue, show the Red Sox at #2 in 2012 gross revenue with 336 million, behind the Yankees at 471 million. But I have no idea what these numbers include or if there are other numbers.
  8. Bellhorn04
    It just offends my sense of logic that the Yankees would give A-Rod a 10-year, potentially $300 million deal, with the hopes of him breaking the home run record in their uniform, knowing full well that he was a PED user.
  9. Bellhorn04
    I obviously can't provide evidence that they didn't.
  10. Bellhorn04
    What's the evidence that the Yankees knew about A-Rod's PED use when they re-upped his contract?
  11. Bellhorn04
    It's hard not to enjoy seeing the Yankees get burned on some of these big contracts. They bent over for A-Rod's opt-out clause, then they agreed to let Sabathia have an opt-out clause of his own and now they're getting burned on that too. Hardly even noticed is that in 2012-13 A. J. Burnett has given Pittsburgh 331 innings with a 3.21 ERA, while having 20 million of his 33 million salary paid by the Yankees.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Well of course he got off to a dismal start. OPS by month: April .670 May .612 June .826 July .885 It seems like one of the keys to the Red Sox success this year is that different guys have been really hot and coming through with big hits at different times. In the early going it was Napoli and Nava. Lately it's been Gomes and Drew.
  13. Bellhorn04
    I would be shocked. As good a player as he is, economically it just doesn't work with Bradley as his replacement. Also don't forget we just added $15 million to next year's payroll with Peavy.
  14. Bellhorn04
    I think the Papelbon battle here has been a classic, and I was on the wrong side of it for the most part. Thankfully Paps blew the whole thing into irrelevance with his obvious decline this year.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, playing in Boston is much safer for outfielders. Just ask Ellsbury.
  16. Bellhorn04
    He was going to play second but Cabrera couldn't go.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Yes, and he extended his streak of games without an extra-base hit to 21.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Back-to-back sac flies for the Sox for the second time this year. Awesome.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Totally logical move. They sent him down for Wright because they figured they might need a reliever to go multiple innings after the 15-inning game. It worked out perfectly did it not? Workman will be back shortly I'm sure.
  20. Bellhorn04
    I know he's a great player, but personally I find the trade speculation to be a pain in the ass. And the very sound of 'emptying the farm system' makes me want to puke.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Collateral damage I guess.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Now it's reported that A-Rod is going to take a deal. I have to say MLB did a good job on all this. They boxed A-Rod into an impossible position. Checkmate.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Don't they do a Lyin' Latino Factor adjustment for that now?
  24. Bellhorn04
    Yes, after yet another game-changing blown call by the umps. Overbay should have been rung up on a checked swing that went too far, which would have ended the inning 0-0. The crazy thing is that it was a virtual replay of the previous pitch, when the same checked swing got called a strike. More replay reviews are definitely on the way.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Showalter didn't even use the 7-run rule tonight with Gonzalez. Left him in for 9 runs plus a baserunner.
