    How stupid of them.
  2. Bellhorn04
    True. Henry says next to nothing. Bloom spins fairy tales about "our top priority this offseason", "gonna be way better next year", "leadership, innings and upside", ad nauseum.
  3. Bellhorn04
    I think the teams that are bringing in the most revenue have an obligation to spend. If the Red Sox cut their payroll in half, what's the first result? More money in the pockets of the owners, obviously.

    So Red's Third Fork in the Road again. Yee-haw!
  5. Bellhorn04
    Probably neither.

    I asked mine first. What exactly is your question about the Padres and Mets? What do you mean by blowing up their market value?
  7. Bellhorn04
    Why not answer my question about the Yankees?
  8. Bellhorn04
    But Goin' South.

    And you're usually a positivist.
  10. Bellhorn04
    You really think there's any chance left of this team being buyers?
  11. Bellhorn04
    "Try to give the impression" - I like that one.
  12. Bellhorn04
    It's not based on it but there's obviously a big correlation between the two. Would the Yankees be the Yankees if their payroll was the same as the Rays? Would their fans accept that?
  13. Bellhorn04
    And it's the duct tape rotation that was really easy to predict, and that Bloom is most accountable for. He let Eovaldi, Wacha and Hill go-not that any of them were spectacular, or durable, last year, but for all that they were our best starters. And he replaced those 3 with Kluber, plus Sale and Paxton, AKA a wing and a prayer.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Sure, all the owner can do is give his team a better chance. Same with the manager. Same with the players, in fact.
  15. Bellhorn04
    There's that, plus the Henry team brought in Epstein and Francona etc. It takes good management too.
  16. Bellhorn04
    We could debate this forever, but when you go 80+ years without winning and then win 4 times in 15 years under the same owner, I think he has to get some credit.
  17. Bellhorn04
    This doesn't make a lot of sense, Denny. If it's all up to the players, that would also mean Bloom has nothing to do with the state of the team right now, it's just that the players aren't playing well.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Amazingly enough, the Red Sox have a lower team ERA than the Dodgers this year.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Have to note that what we got for Vaz hasn't actually produced anything yet. Valdez posted below replacement value numbers in his stint.
  20. Bellhorn04
    We just don't have much to deal this time. I don't think there's any way they trade Jansen or Martin. Paxton might bring something back, but who knows how serious his knee issue is?
  21. Bellhorn04
    Ha, but who won in 2018? Maybe we won because of the price our pitchers paid in how they were used, starting and relieving? Remember Keith Foulke in the 2004 postseason? Terry Francona destroyed Foulke's arm in the Yankee series. Foulke threw 100 pitches in 3 days in cold weather. But it was worth it.
  22. Bellhorn04
    The post I replied to suggested Henry didn't want to operate like a big market team any more. I think that would ultimately lead to a lower market value.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Oh I get that 100%. But don't sell us fans short - we're the people who put that money in the bank account.
  24. Bellhorn04
    I would agree about Duran being our most logical trade chip right now.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Personally, I think the 2019 team was a classic case of championship hangover. And it seems pretty obvious some of the pitchers paid a price (pun intended) for their use in the postseason, with starters also pitching innings in relief. If Henry was really frustrated by the 2019 team's underperformance, that's on him IMHO.
