  1. The Dalbec/Hosmer DH platoon is still alive.
  2. No doubt, but it's still a fact, and an embarrassing one.
  3. Nobody's angry at anybody here. That's the making stuff up again.
  4. Sox leak, but only when it makes the other guy look bad...
  5. As far as I can see all the criticism about the Bogaerts situation revolves around the lack of a serious extension offer before he reached free agency. The reported ludicrous offer of one more year and $30 million they made in the pre-season appears to be 100% fact. It's been repeated everywhere and never refuted.
  6. Now Bloom is saying he wants another guy like Kike who can play both outfield and middle infield.
  7. Makes sense, not happening. Probably won't see any of the three.
  8. What's been going on isn't really a media creation this time IMHO.
  9. There is, however, a pretty strong correlation between the teams with the highest payrolls and the teams that make the playoffs.
  10. It feels to me like the Sox FO has really crossed the line this offseason. It's almost like they're going out of their way to make their fans miserable. Not pretty to watch.
  11. Great, just great.
  12. There's risk in everything. Betts and Bogey have been pretty consistent and durable over their careers, so they seemed like decent bets. I don't think anyone ever suggested big extensions for Benintendi or JBJ, but I could be wrong.
  13. I agree, Verlander is one of those freaks that come along about once per generation. We saw it earlier in his career when he was able to maintain high heat into the 7th inning and beyond.
  14. I hear what you're saying. Right now the Red Sox rotation and depth are so thin they may have no choice but to throw Mata in the fire like they did with Bello last year.
  15. I can't really knock the Red Sox for being aggressive on Yoshida, for being aggressive on anything these days. Bogey is a separate issue, and I've been excoriating them for it.
  16. We know Paxton is healthy as in throwing-a-baseball-hard-healthy?
  17. Agreed, but highly skeptical it's going to happen.
  18. Sorry, Gallo will be too expensive for us.
  19. Well, we did make that run at Zac Eflin! Some big market team won the bidding, though.
  20. And Bloom hasn't earned much cred with his "outside the box" approaches to the outfield and first base... Maybe it's going to take a truly epic debacle for changes to come. Right now we seem to be lined up for one.
  21. Run prevention starts with pitching. I'm very worried about the run prevention abilities of our starting rotation as presently constituted. Unless they do something we're going to be seeing a lot of Winky, Kutter and even...Seabold.
  22. The report that the Mets were considering Correa suggests they're not done yet this offseason. Cohen wants to buy a championship or two and he doesn't care how much it takes. He's already blown past all the barriers - there are no further penalties to be incurred, just more tax.
  23. Detroit Red Wing fans still lament a period in their history known as the "Darkness Under Harkness". I sure hope this period in Red Sox history doesn't get looked back on as the "Gloom Under Bloom".
  24. Correa's gone. I'll take Kluber and Andrus. I have doubts we'll get either one. Bloom never does the expected.
  25. Or it was a 50/50 deal. Larry cornered Ben and said "You pick one and I'll pick one. And we'll announce them both on the same day."
