    Aw c'mon, Sport, Cherington has signed 6 free agents in a relatively short period and is now in discussions on Hanrahan. You may not like the moves but I think he's at least putting to rest the inertia stuff.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Yes, agreed.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Breaking news: the Giants have claimed Sandy Rosario off waivers from the Cubs.
  4. Bellhorn04
    New rumor is the Pirates want Iglesias.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Ludicrous.

    Possibly, but don't overlook that the O's were 38-20 down the stretch and their two best starters, Tillman and Gonzalez, were basically only with them the second half. I really expected them to add a big bat in the offseason but it looks like Angelos refused to spend a dime on upgrading.
  8. Bellhorn04
    We'll see. Last year 3 teams won 90 games and the 4th team is the Jays. I guess you're expecting a big dropoff by the Yankees and Orioles.

    LMAO. What a dreamer. Has anybody even offered him 2?

    No, LaRoche is no fool...he's sitting tight because he knows the Sox could become the highest bidder for his services. LaRoche already joked that he might not sign until April 1.

    Assuming we sign Napoli or LaRoche, my prediction at this point would be 84-78 and out of the playoffs. Which doesn't mean I'm unhappy about the general offseason strategy. But my optimism is directed more toward 2014. Go prospects.
  12. Bellhorn04
    It is kind of amazing this can drag on so long. If the reports are right the Sox asked to take it back to two years. Napoli said no thanks. So then what? A 2 week game of Texas Hold 'Em to decide who wins?

    The updated numbers I've seen, which do include all the add-ons, have us at about 168 million now or about 10 million under the cap. I'll update the numbers in the payroll thread when I get a chance.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Each WAR is worth about 5 million according to FanGraphs. Not saying I agree with it but that's the formula they use.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Not true. The average OBP for a major league shortstop last year was only .310. A .335 OBP for a shortstop is well above average.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Romero was pretty bad last year. But the Jays have a big edge on paper, no question.
  17. Bellhorn04
    On average, teams need 8-10 starters to get through the year. Any good pitching prospects will get their shot. Starting pitching prospects haven't been the ones that have gotten held back by the Sox. Not that we've ever had a great abundance of them.
  18. Bellhorn04
    They would certainly have the edge on paper. But none of those Toronto pitchers are what people here call an 'ace', a guy who has been a consistently dominating pitcher over a few years.
  19. Bellhorn04
    The Rays are the Rays. They do what they do out of necessity because of their low revenues and payroll. Friedman has done a great job, no question. The main thing that has kept them successful is the high number of good pitchers they have drafted. Not too many good position players. If the Rays model was that easy to duplicate many teams would be doing it.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Good catch there, Pal. I e-mailed Speier about this. He didn't reply to my e-mail but in his newly updated figures he added in '3.9 million Dodger subsidy'.
  21. Bellhorn04
    The Angels might have some pitching issues? They lost Greinke, Haren and Santana. Not sure who they picked up.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Good point.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Perhaps because Jackson, while a sturdy innings-eater, has the most perfectly mediocre numbers you can find. W-L 70-71 ERA 4.40 ERA+ 98 WHIP 1.44 Postseason ERA 5.46
  24. Bellhorn04
    Sanchez really played the Cubbies nicely from the looks of it, using them to add an extra 5 million to the deal.
  25. Bellhorn04
    And in a very ironic development, Atchison was non-tendered.
