    Wow, what a free agency denier LOL. Yes, we know it often turns out badly, but "rarely works out" is just wrong, and you could look it up.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, trying to be a little consistent here. As we've said there are big differences between fWAR and bWAR for pitchers.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Yay.
  4. Bellhorn04
    We're leaving out their salaries? The FanGraphs number is legit, it's based on actual historical data of the average cost of wins for free agent players.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Yes, it's higher the higher the contract. What I don't get is not being willing to pay what it takes to sign a guy like Senga or Eflin. The results are evident. Our starting pitching was a house of cards from the start and now the house has collapsed. The need to reinforce it was so great that I think Bloom is guilty of malfeasance. Now we've got Cora trying to save guys careers by not burning them out, and the Bear Claw Game.

    What's the difference between getting lucky with starting pitcher signings and getting lucky with position player signings like Story and Yoshida? We could use a thread on the free agent starter signings of the last 2 years and how they've worked out.
  7. Bellhorn04
    They could have signed Senga for $75 million. That's not big-time risky at all. That's just over half what they risked on Story. It's one-quarter what they risked on Raffy. Enough of this ******** about the massive risk of free agent pitching. You don't have to sign Gerrit Cole. They're being stupidly timid.

    Bloom struck out twice with the rotation this year. He got Kluber before the season and Nobody at the deadline. Nobody actually had a better WAR than Kluber...
  9. Bellhorn04
    It's a debatable point. Even with the injuries Wacha has a 2.1 fWAR this year, worth 16.7 million, and last year he had a 1.5 fWAR, worth 12.3 million. He's actually been a huge bargain 2 years in a row.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Michael Wacha.
  11. Bellhorn04
    I'd say they were both real problems!
  12. Bellhorn04
    The problem was not enough good starters from Day One...
  13. Bellhorn04
    Fans are supposed to be optimists, but when reality settles in they can become bitter. I wanted them to extend Devers. The problem is he's having a horrible season with the glove and as a result he's not living up to his contract. Meanwhile we see Betts having a monster season and realize he's making about the same money as Devers. Yoshida was a good story for a while, until you took a look at FanGraphs and realized the guy is a huge negative in the field and on the bases. Plus he stopped drawing walks. And now apparently he's pooped. Reality bites sometimes, it's as simple as that.
  14. Bellhorn04
    I gave my answer in the game thread.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Bello and Crawford are still in the "building up innings" phases of their careers. Sale and Paxton have been ravaged by injuries the last few years. Bloom should have seen this coming but didn't, or he did and he crossed his fingers. That's it in a nutshell.
  16. Bellhorn04
    I wish that was true. They've lost 5 in a row, giving up 46 runs in the process, and the staff is in shreds. Things are not going to get better when we play the AL East teams for weeks. This promises to be one of the ugliest stretches you'll ever see.
  17. Bellhorn04
    I think that's correct.
  18. Bellhorn04
    The fact is the Red Sox will have an absolutely atrocious rotation for 2024, unless the front office breaks down and does something about it.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, the lists look good, the standings do not.
  20. Bellhorn04
    The jury is out on Bloom as a team builder, big time. Yes, we have some nice prospects. Hardly any of them can pitch, though. That's why Keith Law is less enamored of our system than most. Maybe he's right.
  21. Bellhorn04
    I won't be surprised to hear Paxton has been shut down for the season. Hell, they might shut down Bello. What's the point of putting him at risk now?
  22. Bellhorn04
    Nobody knows. There was a rumor that the ownership was disappointed by the deadline inactivity. Maybe Bloom had some possible deals in the works but ended up backing away from them.
  23. Bellhorn04
    I get that. 4 rings earns a lot of loyalty, and there's no guarantee the next owner will be better.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Yes, and they've picked up 4 games on us over the last 5. That's how bad we are now. Our pitching staff is in shreds, moon.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Yes, Henry deserves to be lambasted too, without a doubt.
