Yep, there are 3 things in life you can count on-death, taxes, and injuries to pitchers.
-
You're an asshat.
-
Henry Lover! I was pissed about the way it went down with Bogey, but I'm still a Henry supporter. 4 rings after there were none before him. Yeah, I'll take that.
-
They warned us what would happen after the Sox finally won it all.
-
The 6 mill could be recovered this year if Paxton does OK. I'm trying to be optimistic for now. I may re-join the angry rabble later LOL
-
So we're assuming that Paxton is useless already?
-
I know. But then we wouldn't have him this year for $4 mill, which could turn out to be a good deal. Obviously if they really wanted to get under the tax line last year they could have traded Bogey, Eovaldi, JD etc. I guess we can go through that discussion all over again.
-
There's that old adage about guys with suitcase careers: "Look at the bright side, somebody wants you!"
-
The Paxton signing wasn't all that puzzling, we're seeing more funky deals like these with guys who have injury issues but upside. The Jays contract with Chad Green being a recent example.
-
As with John Henry and Jerry Jones, if you're going to be a hated owner, it's better to be one who's won 3 or 4 rings...
-
Well, at least it's a team-oriented fashion statement, I guess...
-
sss
-
Right, sorry.
-
Chaim thinks the projections are wrong.
-
I certainly do.
-
2 out of the first 3 were right, unfortunately.
-
The power bats of Bogey and JD only averaged 15.5 HR and 67.5 RBI between them last year.
-
I'm not expecting that, no, but stuff happens. Injuries are the really scary thing. The risk can't be ignored like it doesn't exist.
-
Oh I know. He's also 30.5 years old now. I would bet it turns out to be a good contract, but I wouldn't bet much.
-
The problem, of course, is that the cost of keeping those players has skyrocketed over the years to the point that you have to take on a staggering amount of risk. As much as we lament losing Mookie, his contract has 10 more years to run, and it's still way too early to say if it's going to be a good contract or not.
-
He said sales, not prices, but I'm wondering how he calculates the increase, number of tickets or gross revenue.
-
So how do you explain the Devers contract? Didn't want to get booed again?
-
Yes, that was a bit saucy, wasn't it? To be fair, Henry did say some very nice things about Red Sox fans in that e-mail interview with Jen McCaffrey.
-
Now cut that out!
-
True, but how that went down was still pretty strange. Contrast it to the negotiations with Devers. The whole gang went and visited him at his home in the Dominican, and made an offer they virtually knew would get it done.
