Accountants say Sale is $113M.
-
Yes, good example. I also always got a chuckle out of people criticizing JDM for swinging at all those low outside breaking pitches, while he had an OPS of .900.
-
Devers's hamstring injury messed up his whole second half. That can happen. I think his approach works for him and shouldn't be fiddled with much.

We use the term albatross pretty loosely here, of course. "Paying a guy a lot of money to do nothing" would be the standard definition, I think. For the Red Sox recent examples of albatross contracts would be: Sale (extension) Price The Sandoval/H Ramirez/Castillo triple combo pack I think those would qualify for any owner. I assume what you're getting at is that some franchises can handle an albatross or two and still be successful.

Forget the splits. I'm just a little freaked out by Houck's stats in these spring games (1.92 WHIP, 9 HR in 20.1 IP). When the numbers are this incredibly bad you have to wonder if the guy is healthy or not.

Holy crap, even Denny's ham and eggers have complicated contracts now.
-
In case anyone is curious about Cora's contract status, per Alex Speier, when they re-signed Cora for 2021 he got a 2-year contract, plus a team option for a further 2 years, which they "quietly" exercised, as Speier put it.

They seem to have fooled ya.
-
It just shows how Ort is bamboozling even the great minds of Talksox.
-
As we've been saying, this team needs a lot of things to go right. Season starts in 4 days. Hopefully it will at least be an interesting one.
-
Technically Duvall also has the potential to be above average, having been so in 2021, along with 2016 and 2017.

Fix your phone!

The biggest correlation with runs scored is OPS. Last year the Red Sox scored 4.54 per game with 155 HR/.731 OPS The Brewers scored 4.48 with 219 HR/.724 OPS There are plenty more examples like that.
-
So glad to see Alabama knocked out.
-
Your team certainly seems to be much better-run the last couple of years.
-
What strikes me as funny is that so many fans want their owners to spend like madmen, but they will also moan and groan endlessly about the mega-deals that turn to financial albatrosses.
-
It seems like the players are happy as long as free agents are still landing mega-deals from the big spenders. You rarely hear players complain about small-spending teams like the ones mentioned.
-
Some guys surprise the scouts at the ML level and some disappoint them.
-
Should it be Wink or Winks? I like Winks better. These two have pitched solidly in the spring games, may it continue.
-
You're obviously right, and good job documenting it. But I wouldn't expect to see much change in the next WBC just because the US lost 3-2 in the deciding game. The other countries do want it a little more, there's no question. But the US did win the last one and came very close to winning this one.
-
Did he really say that?
-
Trending in the right direction at least.
-
I also noticed that Law was very critical of the Yoshida signing.
-
McGuire's 6.33 CERA with us last year freaked me out. And our pitching has been awful the last couple of weeks. And I know Wong has been out for a while. But as I said, I can get pretty superstitious and irrational about some of this stuff.
