    Houck and Duran have been late bloomers. Pretty hard to predict they would get this good all of a sudden.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Harsh LOL I said "fairly well", not "perfectly". 2 weeks is not really that long.
  3. Bellhorn04
    The Mets are only 1 game out of a Wild Card spot themselves. Can't really assume that Cohen is in the mood to sell.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Maybe trade Yoshida to the Halos in the offseason, eating 60-70% of the contract.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Incredible as it seems, Kennedy's last chat about the team underperforming and needing to go on a hot streak has turned out to have been fairly well timed.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Think there was some P.R. desperation involved in these extensions?
  7. Bellhorn04
    Jansen is pitching himself into being indispensable.

    For his career Devers is averaging 106 RBI per 162 games. He's just been having one of those years of making a lot of outs with men on. But that's bound to turn around.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Me either.
  10. Bellhorn04
    I have to object to putting Yoshida on the second list because he had an IL stint LOL
  11. Bellhorn04
    You seem to be suggesting he's applying a one size fits all approach. All the quotes I see from Bailey emphasize tailoring the approach to each pitcher, finding out what they do well and having them do it a lot.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Well, I didn't think the Kluber signing was horrible in itself. It was the fact that it was the only signing that bothered me. You can't have enough pitching is still a principle that makes sense. Trading Sale went against that principle.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Yes, I do.
  14. Bellhorn04
    We're all free to speculate our asses off, when it comes to that.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Plus Sale's numbers would indicate that what he's doing is working just fine. I thought Bailey's philosophy was for guys to do what they do best.
  16. Bellhorn04
    No relevance.

    The argument that the Braves were in a better position to take a gamble on Sale, that they could afford it more than the Red Sox, is one that really irks me. The Braves are in their second year of paying luxury tax and will likely be in their third year next year. The Red Sox are in their second year of not paying tax. The Red Sox are #3 in team value per Forbes. The Braves are #8. That argument is one that JH would love Sox fans to believe.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, I think the stat mavens have calculated that you have to be successful on at least 75% of steal attempts before it's a positive. Hamilton is at 95% and Duran is at 86%. So turn 'em loose, absolutely.
  19. Bellhorn04
    I think JH and his low throttle budget had a lot to do with this. I think Breslow had to free up the stupid $10 million to make the other moves he wanted to make.
  20. Bellhorn04
    This is all gibberish. The simple fact is the Red Sox didn't have to make this trade. They had very little to lose by keeping Sale. That's all I've been saying all along. They rolled the dice and got burned big time. It is what it is.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Makes zero sense.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Also, I didn't realize you were such an old school ERA guy.
  23. Bellhorn04
    In your world, the Red Sox couldn't afford to take such a gamble.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Damn those delusional, lying Braves...
  25. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, 2-3 weeks, I guess.
