    Have to give Breslow credit for snagging a couple of promising ones in Fitts and Sandlin without giving up much.

    What struck me a little last year was that Yoshida was actually being criticized much LESS than JD Martinez was in his final year with the Sox, even though he wasn't really doing better and was being paid about the same. I think a lot of that had to do with people being tired of JD - Yoshida at least was a new face...
  3. Bellhorn04
    I can't imagine who.
  4. Bellhorn04
    But Yoshida's money for this year isn't quite dead yet. I think that's where the difference is.
  5. Bellhorn04
    And context is always needed. Yoshida is merely on the IL, but Story and Giolito are on the SYNY (See You Next Year) list.

    Weird but not shocking, considering all our injuries, and our plethora of AAAA guys LOL

    It's one thing to get owned by Chris Sale, but when you're getting owned by Patrick Corbin it's a different story.

    The one thing Breslow might be faulted for is not picking up another RH power bat like Teoscar. Our RH hitting is feeble, even with Wong's tremendous start. Hopefully Grissom's numbers will improve from Gruesome.

    Red Sox offense in high leverage situations: 191/262/258 - 520 OPS Red Sox offense in innings 7-9: 197/272/312 - 583 OPS YIKES

    But it's your theory that Bloom bears the blame for it. I think if you put it to a poll most Sox fans would put the blame on Henry. Bloom was the hired gun. We all know how the hired gun thing works.

    Any way you look at it, the Red Sox ended up paying Devers 30 mill a year long term instead of Betts. And as much as I like Devers, he's half as good as Betts, if that.
  12. Bellhorn04
    I think Betts did as much as say it was all about the money. He admitted to turning down $200 million, after all.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Maybe Betts was lying in his press conference. But nobody seemed to make the slightest effort to follow up. Just seems weird. This was the biggest loss of talent by the Red Sox since Ruth.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Sometimes you really go out of your way to miss the point.
  15. Bellhorn04
    I've read that. What's weird is there's no direct statement by Betts of how much he turned down. Where's the rest of the conversation? The reporting of the whole thing has sucked from the beginning.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Bloom was hired October 25/19. Betts wasn't traded until Feb/20. Seems like a considerable stretch of time to me.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Lou Merloni is the guy who reported it, I believe. Betts said it was ******** and it's been crickets since.
  18. Bellhorn04
    But when you look at how late in the day they traded Betts, it makes some sense that there were final talks with him. If it had been a no-doubt move why didn't the process of trading him start a lot sooner?
  19. Bellhorn04
    Betts fully acknowledged the first and denied the second.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Seems like everybody gets to make up their own definition of "prospect". Bernardino was 30 when he threw his first major league pitch. The Red Sox are the fourth organization he's been with. Cam Booser must be a prospect too, I guess.
  21. Bellhorn04
    I'd like to see the quote on what he actually said. He did talk about the 8 year/$200 million offer that he turned down, saying he came very close to signing it, and that it was his mother who told him to stay clear-headed and not over-react to what a big chunk of money it was and all that.
  22. Bellhorn04
    What does that have to do with the media not following up with Bloom? That's kind of their job. Maybe Bloom wouldn't respond, but that's beside the point.
  23. Bellhorn04
    The intriguing part was that Betts said "talk to Chaim about it", implying that there were some final talks before he was traded. Slack-ass Boston media failed to follow up on that.
  24. Bellhorn04
    The former.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I just think John Henry is a guy who likes to be a hardass about some things. They'd already done it with Lester.
