    Porcello made $95 million for his 5 years with Boston. His total dollar value for those years per FanGraphs, based on average productivity of free agents, was $104.7 million.

    Solid Starter is 2-3 WAR. So based on that: 1 year Superstar 2 years Solid Starter 2 years Role Player 5 year Average = Solid Starter How you get horrible out of that I don't know.
  3. Bellhorn04
    It would have been great to bring him back, but 4 years and $79 million was a pile of money for his limited skill set.

    That's exactly it. The funny thing is I remember a number of times when Ortiz was pinch run for late in a game, and it came back to haunt us, and fans would heap abuse on the manager for it. It can be a thankless job. One thing I'm sure of is that Cora was not snoozing on the play, it was a conscious decision.

    Porcello was slightly above average in quality, well above average in quantity. There's a lot of value in being able to take the ball every 5th day and deliver 5-6 innings as he did.

    Based on fWAR Porcello was not horrible. 2015 1.7 2016 5.1 2017 2.0 2018 2.4 2019 1.8

    It's not an excuse. It's a percentage play. I've seen it done that way many times (waiting till the runner gets to second).
  8. Bellhorn04
    As far as not running for JD, from what I've seen the standard managerial practice there is not to pinch run until the guy gets to second base.

    Fans are brutal, basically LOL For some reason Story's first season with the Red Sox reminds me a little of Drew's first season with us. Of course Story won't get the chance to hit a postseason grand slam.

    I'm with ya, Max. And I stay out of game threads because guys are so mean to Cora.
  11. Bellhorn04
    The reason some jokingly called it the Punto trade?
  12. Bellhorn04
    Kind of an ignominious experience for a player, isn't it. Your team puts you out on the street for anyone who wants to take you. If nobody wants you, you get shipped to the minors.

    I was there, man. The first game I saw in Fenway was in September, 1974, right in the middle of one of their epic collapses. That year they were 7 games up in the AL East on August 23, and ended up 7 back.
  14. Bellhorn04
    It wasn't the 60 games that hurt, it was the 12 year extension.
  15. Bellhorn04
    But you should have pitched better.
  16. Bellhorn04
    I think we were dealing with stupid Dodgers people the first time, and smart Dodgers people the second time.
  17. Bellhorn04
    I'm not, but they were able to escape that one.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Price, Sale, and the unholy trio of Pablo, Hanley and Castillo.
  19. Bellhorn04
    That was a bit different, of course. The Red Sox also lost one of those in 1948, in the Denny Galehouse game.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Agreed. The owners have only themselves to blame, of course.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Yep, that happened to both boxers and musicians.
  22. Bellhorn04
    How would you classify the potential burn on Tatis Jr.?
  23. Bellhorn04
    Hell yeah.
  24. Bellhorn04
    I agree. The 5 last place finishes in the last 11 years are a drag though.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Same injury.
