    Kike's defense never sucks. His offensive numbers are substandard, but he does have 40 RBI in 79 games, and we all know he can get hot any time. Not sure why you have it in for this guy.
  2. Bellhorn04
    It is interesting to consider what the Red Sox media and fans would be saying right now if the Sox did the fire sale and were an additional 5-10 games under .500 right now. Would they still be screaming to Fire Bloom? Or would that depend on what we got back in the fire sale?
  3. Bellhorn04
    If we didn't have Sale and other guys expected back after the deadline I'd agree with the fire sale thing. Sale could have been a nice difference-maker. We'll never know.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Probably not, but I'll leave all the calculations to Chaim on that one.
  5. Bellhorn04
    What you're leaving out is that every team that signs a QO'd FA loses one pick. The incremental penalty for going over the CBT is a fifth-round pick.

    Seriously. You'd think JD had devolved into a complete bum based on some of the comments about him. He has a .775 OPS (Schwarber's is .800) and has been heating up again recently. I would not write him off just yet.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Yes, we've noticed.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Yep, anyone who blames the GM/HOBO for everything has to blame DD for failing to retain Betts in two separate reported extension negotiations.
  9. Bellhorn04
    No, it's not my intention to start a new argument about the Kike signing. But I will say that just because the deal was done before the season ended sure as heck doesn't mean it was the #1 priority. It probably just means it came together quickly and easily. Come on man!
  10. Bellhorn04
    I think $10M was about right for Kike. Yes it's a raise, but it's also only a one-year deal. I just think it's funny that Bloom gets knocked on one hand for letting guys go and on the other for re-signing one of them.
  11. Bellhorn04
    So even when Bloom does bring guys back he gets knocked. Kind of says it all.
  12. Bellhorn04
    I think it's another case of "you can't win", because if guys come back earlier than expected and don't look 100% or re-aggravate the injury, you know how well that goes over. Baseball players just seem to be more injury-prone than we think they should be. All kinds of weird injuries that do seem to take forever to get better.
  13. Bellhorn04
    I think it's all irrelevant speculation except for media and fans who are campaigning to get Bloom fired.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Yes, complaints about the medical staff are another long-standing beef of Red Sox fans...
  15. Bellhorn04
    And Kike obviously likes him, to come back without testing free agency!
  16. Bellhorn04
    How do you actually know he's not well-liked by the players or the fans? What is the evidence of this?
  17. Bellhorn04
    Well, it's pretty easy to connect the dots in this case. Henry dispatches the free-spending Dombrowski and hires a guy from Tampa Bay. The first thing the guy from Tampa Bay does is trade Mookie. Most people would deduce it was Henry's idea more than the new guy's idea. Add to that the fact it was obvious they had great difficulty signing Mookie to an extension. And that was on DD's watch.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Look what this prescient guy said right after the trade!
  19. Bellhorn04
    No, but on average, it cost $45M in 2021 to get that much value out of free agent acquisitions. It's a cost-based measurement.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Yes, but Brady is money, there's no way around it. He gives his teams a huge chance to win. The personnel around him keeps changing, the wins keep coming.
  21. Bellhorn04
    FanGraphs says: Actual value provided by Eovaldi: $56 million. Total AAV of contract: $57.3 million (after pro-rating 2020). The catch is that about 80% of the value came in 2021. My verdict: average/mediocre.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Not sure about that. I think they tried to extend Mookie first and it went nowhere. The Sale and Eovaldi moves came after that.
  23. Bellhorn04
    On yes, I remember both things well. Another thing that was mentioned as a reason for the Yankees turnaround in 1978 was that there was a newspaper strike in New York that summer. Then there was Bill Lee saying the reason those Yankees were so good was exactly because they were such a bunch of a-holes LOL
  24. Bellhorn04
    Because of the Tampa Bay North thing, mainly. Shaughnessy has been all over that from Day One. BTW I didn't realize how right you were about Belichick being in the crosshairs until I read Shaughnessy's column before the Pats second game. The Boston media is seriously after Bill now, it seems.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Seems like pretty minor stuff to me, getting blown out of proportion because the team is having a crap year. Strictly my opinion.
