  1. Crag and his brother Clff.
  2. Maybe Breslow told the owners he was 100% sure he could put together a good rotation on the same shoestring budget that Bloom had. "You're hired!"
  3. Our fantasy that the Red Sox have a competent front office is just that.
  4. Career fWAR and projections both say they're very close.
  5. Yes, he's a Wacha-level talent.
  6. He was a goner because Henry didn't want to pay him market value.
  7. I'm sure they don't. Kind of seems like Henry has the last word.
  8. No, we don't know that at all. Betts said there were talks with him after Bloom was hired. He told the press to talk to Chaim to get all the details. Nobody did, of course.
  9. Possibly, but keep in mind that I'm not assuming competence. I suspect it took them a long time to actually come to the decision to do it.
  10. Talk to the Padres. They got 4 starting pitchers, one with significant recent MLB success, one 2022 second round pick, two others that pitched in the bigs this year.
  11. And we can count on Henry to give a plan time to come to fruition!
  12. It doesn't answer why they waited so long. Forgive me for not assuming they waited because they were being smart.
  13. I'm not imagining, I'm questioning why they waited until February, and I'm looking at what the Padres got for Soto.
  14. A perfect shitstorm.
  15. And even Graterol wouldn't have made much difference. He's rapidly becoming a premier reliever, but his career fWAR is still only 3.0. And now you have to pay him.
  16. But they hadn't spent much, and there was grumbling about it.
  17. I don't know, but have you ever wondered why they waited until February to trade Betts? Knowing what we do now, doesn't it seem possible it was just another case of this front office's constipated system of decision-making?
  18. Probably not, but it was a bungled trade. The Padres actually got some pitching when they traded Soto. Maybe getting to work on it early in the offseason helped. The Sox dilly dallied with the Betts trade like just about everything else since Bloom was hired.
  19. Fair enough about Snell. We don't have to worry about signing him anyway.
  20. It took a bunch of missteps to go 78-84 the last two years.
  21. Some data would be nice though.
  22. That's been said about Story too. We really do think they're a bunch of clueless bozos now.
  23. Snell is going to be too expensive, too risky AND cost a draft pick. Not even on the radar.
