    The reason the word 'dithering' is getting tossed around so much is that in the aftermath of Bloom's firing a picture emerged of him being indecisive, with suggestions that this was one of the main reasons he was terminated. To me the '22 and '23 deadlines were very similar in that the team did not decisively buy or decisively sell. The only difference is that in '22 there was a flurry of minor moves and in '23 there was but one.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Yes, but it's important that we come up with the precise term for what Bloom did in '22!

    Does seem like a bit more than the Sox got for 1 year of Betts.

    To answer my own question, here are the 2022 bWAR's of the 3 "major acquisitions" Hosmer 1.1 McGuire 0.9 Pham 0.3 Total 2.3 Average 0.8 3 guys who barely exceeded replacement level last year. That's what Bloom produced at the deadline, while dropping Vaz, whose 2022 bWAR was 2.1. That's as lateral as you can get.

    Some are unnaturally superstitious about baseball.

    Let's hope so. I like Craig's thinking here. I'm feeling the aura of smartness so far, man...
  7. Bellhorn04
    He executed some transactions, but didn't make any significant acquisitions. What were the 2022 WAR's of the guys he acquired? Maybe the word dithering is the wrong one. But whatever the right word is, it's not complimentary.
  8. Bellhorn04
    2022 was more like "dicking around", I guess. We'll make it 2 separate categories. The result was the same both years - stumbling to a 78-win finish.

    Nor does Theo Epstein, really, and he's the GOAT.
  10. Bellhorn04
    And he's taken a well-deserved beating for this idiotic comment.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Maybe they are planning some changes to Fenway...

    OTOH it's at least as close to being a reality as all the BTV-sanctioned trade ideas that get posted here...
  13. Bellhorn04
    Don't forget the "almost-signings" of Eovaldi and Eflin...

    I think the Sox now have Reported Interest in Gurriel.

    I blame Henry for trading Betts and giving up on any chance to retain him in the process. We can blame Bloom for the return, but there's no way it was his idea. In fact the story has now come out that DD was in talks to trade Betts at the 2019 deadline.
  16. Bellhorn04
    After that game that Verdugo was late and got benched, Cora said "today we took a step backward as a team" or something like that. When you draw that much attention to an incident, it's a pretty bad sign.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Small samples, but Abreu and Valdez both did pretty well at the plate in their MLB debuts.

    Yacht repair money.

    At the '22 deadline Bloom made tiny lateral movements. The results were lousy. It was virtually the same as doing nothing. He may have gotten something in the Vaz trade, though.
  20. Bellhorn04
    And he might be playing in another frigid country - Canada.

    If JH hired back-to-back stooges, it's Pitchforks and Torches, coming soon.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Yes, I believe him...for now.
  24. Bellhorn04
    The Outlier.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I'd say he proved that the third fork in the road leads nowhere.
