    Romero was pretty bad last year. But the Jays have a big edge on paper, no question.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

    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.

    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'.

    The Angels might have some pitching issues? They lost Greinke, Haren and Santana. Not sure who they picked up.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Good point.

    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

    Sanchez really played the Cubbies nicely from the looks of it, using them to add an extra 5 million to the deal.
  10. Bellhorn04
    And in a very ironic development, Atchison was non-tendered.
  11. Bellhorn04
    You're going to have to back that one up, because Speier doesn't factor it in and I read somewhere else that it's not factored in. The reason being that it's a team option and there's no guarantee that it will be exercised. If Lackey sustains a career-ending injury they're not going to exercise it.

    Dempster won't be blocking the pitching prospects. If one of the pitching prospects is doing well he'll get his shot. A spot will open on the DL or the phantom DL.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Needless to say Lester and Buchholz have to pitch well or the rest doesn't matter much. Dempster is an innings-eater type anyway.
  14. Bellhorn04
    It might not be that dumb in the bigger picture if you look at where they're positioned and where their prospects are. They added prospects with the Dodgers trade, now in the offseason they've held onto all the prospects and the draft picks as well. I think as Sox fans we're just not used to a strategy that involves having patience for a couple of years.
  15. Bellhorn04
    I think there will be more. They've got 25 million + without hitting the tax threshold. They've at least demonstrated that they're not just pocketing the money from the Dodgers trade.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Ah well, f*** it...at least they're spending the money. Some of it stupidly perhaps. At least these are all short-range deals. Go prospects!
  17. Bellhorn04
    And I will be shockingly surprised.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Now the Rangers are going to have to do something to make their fans a little happier.
  19. Bellhorn04
    If he gives them 200 innings that's more than we've been getting from most of our starters. If he does it with less than a 4.5 ERA that's decent. If he does it with a 5 ERA he's Ryan Wakefield.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Angels are signing Hamilton - 5 year deal.
  21. Bellhorn04
    I couldn't give a damn about Youk signing with the Yanks. I certainly don't fault him for taking the 12 million. And he's just not the same player he was. Man the Yankees are an old team though.

    Hello zac.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Right. They actually have an option on Lackey for 2015 which is at MLB minimum salary.
  25. Bellhorn04
    The threshold for 2014, 2015 and 2016 is 189 million.
