    You have to keep in mind we're a lot older now so that changes the perspective hugely. Corey Seager is an awesome player and should be recognized as such.

    As long as people are betting like lunatics on the games, it's all good!
  3. Bellhorn04
    Hopefully it wasn't a booze thing like Derek Lowe in 2004. I'm only saying that because it's so outrageous and wrong.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Different Gray!

    lol
  7. Bellhorn04
    That is rather absurd.

    You must have mis-read my post, which was about signing Yamamoto and Snell.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Sale and Pivetta, based on who was pitching best at the end of the season. Followed by Bello or Crawford.

    I'd take it. I'm just saying we can't count on 84 wins getting us in the playoffs next year. Hey, isn't 84 the same number that much-despised 2019 Red Sox team won?
  11. Bellhorn04
    You also can't leave out the fact that the DBacks were extremely lucky to get in the playoffs with 84 wins.

    Renfroe must be a bad drunk or always hitting on other players' wives and girlfriends, because he gets sent packing by every team he plays for.
  13. Bellhorn04
    I think it's extremely unlikely we sign the top two targets. If we get one of Yamamoto, Snell or Nola we'll be doing well.
  14. Bellhorn04
    I can answer for notin. He wants a starting pitcher in the Sonny Gray price range and he wants Chapman. He's open to trading Duran + for a pitcher. He thinks mega-expensive free agent pitchers are a horrible investment.

    STORK is the board's untouchable troll.

    The 2023 regular season DBacks were not much better than the 2023 regular season Red Sox except in the W-L record. The 2023 DBacks highlight the magnification of the crapshoot factor that has resulted from the expansion of the field to 12. Any discussion of the DBacks has to be put in that context. As it pertains to the Red Sox going forward, the question is do you try to put together a team that has a shot at 85 wins and the big crapshoot, or do you aim a little higher to give yourself more of a margin for error? Because there's no guarantee 85 wins will get you in, even if an 84 win, -15 run differential team is your 2023 champs.

    Gallen 2023 fWAR 5.2 Kelly 2023 fWAR 3.2 Conclusion: Gallen pitched at ace or near-ace level this year. Kelly pitched like a solid #2. My personal, informal definition of "ace", which is sort of meant to be funny but might also be perfectly accurate, is that the fan consensus definition of "ace" is a guy who is either a lock for the Hall of Fame or looks like they're on a Hall of Fame track. Most pitchers that everyone calls an ace are in the Hall of Fame or on their way there.
  18. Bellhorn04
    You're presenting no data as to why. This is based solely on the general premise that we need starting pitching more than anything, which I do agree with. But you'd have to do a dive into projected WAR to compare these players. I suspect Chapman's projected 2024 WAR will be a bit higher than Montgomery's, although Monty did have a higher fWAR in 2023.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Man, we will argue about anything here LOL
  20. Bellhorn04
    Based on their run differential of -15, the DBacks have no more right to be in the World Series than the Red Sox. They were extremely fortunate to make the playoffs.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Yes, it has multiple benefits. You get higher draft picks, you keep big contracts off the books, you bank more money. Then when the time is right you go for it. The Cubs and Astros did it to perfection.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Hugh seems to be.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Google "Did the Astros tank" - there are a zillion stories about it.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Nobody's perfect.
  25. Bellhorn04
    The Astros are a clear-cut example of a team tanking. It's not even in dispute, really.
