    I do still have hopes for Breslow. And I'm sure he's feeling pretty motivated about next year. I think he has some competitive fire based on his playing career. But he has to know a lot of Red Sox fans are really sick and tired of the results of the big league team the last 3 seasons.
  2. Bellhorn04
    As far as the major league team is concerned, Brez took a thoroughly mediocre team and... kept it thoroughly mediocre.

    Well, you probably assumed Bloom had a clue what he was doing. I tried to do the same. Then the facts sunk in: -Yoshida was a $110 million DH without a lot of power. -Bloom had spent a lot of money on 2 DH's, the other being Turner. -Bloom had only allocated $10 million to the rotation, and donated it to the retirement fund of Corey Kluber.

    I'll go with 60%. With 40% he starts the season on the IL.

    His supplement supplier. 😁

    Virtually every commentator in baseball said at the time it was a massive overpay. So many blunders by the guys running the team the last few years. And Breslow made a doozy of his own with the Sale trade. I'm happy about our farm but I have very little confidence in the guys making the moves.

    Not good, not good at all for a $20 million DH. For a $20 million DH you should get Kyle Schwarber. Schwarber .852 OPS 137 OPS+ 38 HR 102 RBI Yoshida .765 OPS 112 OPS+ 10 HR 56 RBI Great job, Bloom. 😒

    Now run those OPSs for September.

    I would really like Max to explain it himself. Also, Max was talking about the year 2019, so your "3 years later" only adds to my confusion LOL

    Bauer has 4 strikes against him: -The rough sex/assault thing. -The throwing the ball into the stands thing. -The old school right wing views on social media thing. -The sticky stuff controversy thing. He is literally a problem waiting to happen for any team that signs him. The Red Sox got blasted for signing Matt Dermody, who only had the social media strike against him.

    Man, you really don't bother to read sometimes. I said building the bullpen is crucial, just that it's not easy. I sure as hell didn't argue against upgrading it.
  12. Bellhorn04
    I liked the move.
  13. Bellhorn04
    I think Fulmer would qualify as a "bonus" if he can pitch effectively in 2025.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Hendriks and Whitlock will be coming off serious injuries. Slaten looks like a great find, but he spent 1.5 months on the IL with an arm injury too. Breslow needs to make at least one, hopefully two, "proven commodity" type acquisition. Martin reportedly is interested in returning for one more year, so that should definitely be considered.
  15. Bellhorn04
    I agree with both of you that building a strong bullpen is crucial. But as with so many things, it's easier said than done. Our 2 most reliable relievers the last 2 years were the guys we spent real money on. You have to spend to get "proven commodities". Otherwise you're in the same old boat of developing them yourself or somehow procuring them in creative ways - AKA throwing stuff at the wall - Cam Booser was a nice story for a little while. The Red Sox have procured and tried zillions of relievers the last few years, with predictably mixed and sometimes embarrassing results. Breslow did try to acquire a couple of relatively proven relievers at the deadline. How'd that work out? Just saying it's not as easy as it might sound.
  16. Bellhorn04
    You've got Bello listed twice. One must be Pivetta.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Max, you keep saying these things over and over. Now, do you have any links to the articles where you got this information from? I would especially like to see the one about DD wanting more money "to keep Mookie from the Dodgers".
  18. Bellhorn04
    It's not going to happen, but if Brez did somehow swing a deal for Vlad, it wouldn't be unexciting.
  19. Bellhorn04
    And I've always had a soft spot for guys who mash against the Yankees - career OPS of .904. And 1.022 against the Orioles! And .876 against the Rays.
  20. Bellhorn04
    OTOH if Vlad has a manager he really likes he might really kill it. Vlad is an elite talent. I don't see him ever being in a Red Sox uniform, though. The cost will be prohibitive.
  21. Bellhorn04
    My guess is it would depend on which team you're talking to. For a small market team that financial commitment might be a serious deterrent, depending on how much they like Rafaela.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Nice work, Alexandra. I think my only serious disagreement is with Hamilton. FanGraphs gives him a WAR of 1.6 in about half a season's work, 5th best among Sox position players. Considering his minimum pay and the virtually nonexistent expectations, I'd have to give him a B+ myself.
  23. Bellhorn04
    I hear that. I'm assuming that if they fulfill Hugh's wishes it means they really are serious and Brezzy will look after the other deficiencies as well.
  24. Bellhorn04
    That's really *all* they need to do to at least get the hope train rolling again for fans like us.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Rare fruit indeed! 😁
