    Well, desperate dave beat us to the punch on Schwarb. WAR is saying Schwarb is overpaid, though. fWAR 1.6 bWAR 1.2
  2. Bellhorn04
    Chapman wasn't very solid either.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Schwarber is a DH making $20 mill a year. What about Abreu instead? Schwarber .214 .792 Abreu .308 .831

    Story got hit in the hand with a pitch, so I think calling in sick is forgivable...
  5. Bellhorn04
    One more math check - Story's remaining 5 years.
  6. Bellhorn04
    2022 fWAR Schwarber 1.6 in 142 games Story 2.4 in 94 games Story is a much better all-around player.

    They're certainly allowed to vote with their feet.
  8. Bellhorn04
    What's funny, though, is that you turn the fact you don't know the plan into thinking they don't have one.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Right. The team has learned a few tricks from the scalpers.
  10. Bellhorn04
    We have no idea what their plan is.
  11. Bellhorn04
    To be fair though, I think it's a somewhat recent development to adjust ticket prices based on the opponent.
  12. Bellhorn04
    I don't think most fans are as in the dark about payroll stuff as is being suggested. Heck, I still remember when the Yankees and Red Sox started signing free agents in the Seventies what a big deal it was. And how we were going up against a filthy rich team who could just grab guys like Catfish and Reggie.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, if you can pitch OK for 4 innings, there's some hope at least.
  14. Bellhorn04
    That's absolutely true. However, I think when something like trading Mookie Betts happens, most fans want to know why.
  15. Bellhorn04
    I think most fans are also aware of how much players are getting paid.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, 6 for around 155 or 160 sounds right to me. Can't really go any higher than that.
  17. Bellhorn04
    The next contract offer will be the one that matters.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Sounds like some in-game joking or hyperbole to me.
  19. Bellhorn04
    But why would they trade Wacha and not JD? Based on Speier's article, Bloom wasn't trading JD unless somebody got stupid. I assume the same would have applied to Wacha.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Yes. Was Schwarb worth that much of the pile? is the question.
  21. Bellhorn04
    $10 mill.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Schwarb did get a pile of money - 4 years and $79 mill.
  23. Bellhorn04
    The two-year age difference accounts for some of it. It's a valid comp, though.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Trades could have been more of a problem than a cure. The problem is that guys tend to decline toward the latter part of their contracts, while still making the same money. I'm not blaming DD for the situation, it's just the way it worked out.
  25. Bellhorn04
    The reason people were talking about a fire sale before the season was simply all the expiring contracts. They were an elephant in the room. The team decided against a fire sale, and now they're getting criticized by some media and fans for not doing so. Color me shocked!
