Two Encarnacions, I see.
-
Not sure why you see Abreu as a role player. He played 157 games this year.
-
Astros to sign Jose Abreu. Rich get richer.
-
Based on that sequence, his OPS+ for 2023 and 2024 should be 84.
-
There was a time things seemed to happen at the meetings. I guess agents were hanging around there too.
-
And Moncada cost $63 million, let's not forget.
-
Agreed.
-
That's true. But even before that we were commenting on how the winter meetings didn't seem to be much of a catalyst any more. And why would they be any more? In-person interaction has become kind of an optional thing.
-
I think it's been a while since the winter meetings resulted in a flurry of moves.
-
Next question is how does this decline compare to the numbers across baseball for the same period.
-
Possibly. A 2.0 fWAR in the first season of an $85 million contract isn't very exciting, though.
-
Devers is the only unequivocally impactful prospect acquired by the Red Sox since the 2011 draft, in terms of major league production. After Devers you're talking about Margot and Benintendi. Moncada hasn't done much yet. Kopech and Houck and Bello have potential. It's not much wonder we're in the situation we're in with that kind of track record.

Yankee fans are even harder on their team than Red Sox fans are. They booed Judge.
-
Ottavino would have been a good signing for 2022.
-
Not bad, Denny. We do need a starter or two as well. We need all sorts of pitching.
-
Sadly, the one arguable exception is Diekman, a signing that to me remains inexplicable.
-
Seems like a safe bet.
-
Beats me.
-
Is DFA'ing someone you've offered arb to even legal, would be my first question.
-
OK, but you and Old Red can be testy too. We can all be somewhat snarky here. I see people defending Bloom on some points and criticizing DD on some points, sure, but that's not the same thing as getting upset. It's just discussion and argument.
-
I don't see anyone getting very upset at all. You're making that part up.
-
Dave Dombrowski was GM of a team that lost 119 games in 2003. Blaming him for that would obviously be idiotic. Old schoolers who say you're always what your record says are not really using much common sense.
-
What do you actually know about what the masses think? How many of them have you actually heard from?
-
I think they already know their needs and budget?

Narciso Crook, AKA "The Conceited Thief".
