    That song probably wouldn't be hated so much if it wasn't by the former members of a legendary psychedelic band.
  2. Bellhorn04
    I thought you were a WAR guy. That's what you used when you were talking about Ellsbury's contract.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Based on what?
  4. Bellhorn04
    Averages are useful but only if you have sufficient sample sizes and adjustment for outliers - which are two problems with your Gates example. 😉
  5. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, we'll have to agree to disagree. I think history will show that this was a guy who shot his way out of town, and the Sox are going to benefit from having that $250 million obligation off the books.

    My gut feeling is the Giants are not going to be happy at all.
  7. Bellhorn04
    I know. Still, it's better than him getting off to a rocking start. Giants are 4-9 since the trade, with 42 runs scored, 3.23 per game.
  8. Bellhorn04
    He has really stepped up his game.
  9. Bellhorn04
    .670 OPS and 21 Ks in 13 games.

    Cheap!!!
  11. Bellhorn04
    Well, if they let Bregman go they just get worse. Plus a lot can change in a year in this game. Anyway, my call is they don't trade Bregman even if they're selling. We'll see what happens.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Sorry, you're not going to convince me they didn't go cheap in 2024, especially after the 'full throttle' pronouncement. Why do you think 'full throttle' came to piss so many people off?
  13. Bellhorn04
    Deja vu all over again. It's depressing if you dwell on it too much. Especially with a month to go before the deadline.
  14. Bellhorn04
    With Bregman it's more about if the team wants to compete next year or not. If the Sox keep playing like crap the next few weeks it's pretty clear they should trade Chapman and the other expiring contracts.
  15. Bellhorn04
    I'm starving for really good players, I know that much. With Devers gone, Bregman is the only real proven position player on the team.
  16. Bellhorn04
    But even if they do it's only for one year, like Wacha, then it's bye-bye. That's all part of the cheap philosophy they were following. Hopefully they stay open to spending as the Crochet/Bregman/Buehler investments indicated they were this year.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Depends if he comes back strong or not. If he does, opting out is a possibility, especially if he thinks the Sox are a trainwreck of a franchise. It's $40 mill but it's only 2 years, and he's an elite player. Hard to predict, really.
  18. Bellhorn04
    It's a little early to say that.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Right, going cheap again had a lot to do with trading Sale. I've been saying that all along.
  20. Bellhorn04
    No. I've never said anything like that. We needed an upgrade.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Giolito was a risky guy too. In his case it was performance risk after a horrific stretch of pitching. I was not upset when I first heard about trading Sale. But when the offseason was over and I realized all we had done was swap Sale for Giolito, I was disgusted.
  22. Bellhorn04
    You're right, but look at what it's done to the Sox the last 3 years. They've been very indecisive, knowing the team probably wasn't good enough but not wanting to chuck it all in. This is one of the results of the ever-expanding playoff system. Manfred and the owners like it because it means more money.
  23. Bellhorn04
    There's still a month left to the deadline, of course. A lot could happen. Or not. Sox fandom is generally feeling gloomy these days, needless to say. Some of our resident armchair team builders have been talking about selling for quite a while now.
  24. Bellhorn04
    The extension was before 2019.
  25. Bellhorn04
    They paid Giolito 19.25 (AAV) and Sale 17 for a total of 36.25. Some savings.
