    Good to know our mortgage payments and car payments are not actual spending, though.
  2. Bellhorn04
    It's getting pretty creative not to include existing payroll commitments in "actual spending".
  3. Bellhorn04
    Mind you, you could probably say the same about the starting rotation.

    Losing Betts, now that was worrisome. Potentially losing Bogey and Devers, also worrisome.

    This article from The Athletic (subscription required) reports the AAV as 5.8 million and says the 10 million figure was incorrect. Bosox Injection FWIW also says 5.8 million. https://theathletic.com/3539691/2022/08/26/red-sox-gamble-james-paxton/ It doesn't make sense that it would be 10 million for 2022, because the only way he gets the 10 million is to opt into 2023 at 4 million.

    .825 is not elite, but an OPS+ of 129 is pretty damn good. The average OPS in baseball this year is only .707.

    Come on, man. We've been over this so many times. Nobody here worries about JH's money. It's just we know he does have a budget/limit/cap/whatever, and we worry about how it's spent.

    And Boone is Cash's boy.

    I believe Cots is wrong on this one. I've noticed their standards are slipping.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Renfroe now has an OPS+ of 129. So much for the regression thing.
  11. Bellhorn04
    And the epiphany could be somebody suggesting a small mechanical adjustment in his pitching motion.

    Cashman's incredible pair of deadline blunders, the Montas trade and the Montgomery trade, should get him fired, though they won't. Montas has a career road ERA of 4.52. He's only been good in Oakland. Cash must have been high when he made these moves, seriously.

    Very interesting article. Speier is really becoming a go-to baseball writer. The deal between the M's and Rodriguez is one a lot of teams will be examining. It's an innovative one.
  14. Bellhorn04
    We do try to be creative here.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Me either. But I seem to come off that way here. It's all relative.

    Game threads = No Place for Pollyannas.

    You are wrong LOL. The $4 mill isn't a buyout, it's a player option for 2023.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I suspect we should be happy if he ends up a decent pen arm. The scouting reports had him as a back-end starter at best, I think.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Plus he has 4 dingers in his last 6 games and has raised his OPS to a moderately respectable .724.

    I've read in a couple of places that his tax hit for 2022 is 5.8 million. I defy anyone to figure it out. Edit: Here's my guess. The contract guarantees him $10 million. However, in order to collect the full $10 million, he has to opt into a second year, which would make it 2 years and $10 million for an AAV of $5 million. If he declines it's 1 year with an AAV of $6 million. So should the AAV for 2022 be $5 million or $6 million? I assume that to get it to $5.8 million, there must be some weird little adjustment based on the option year being less than the first year.
  21. Bellhorn04
    One isolated incident. Big deal. If it happened regularly you'd have a point.
  22. Bellhorn04
    The team option is for 2 years/$26 million. Add the $6 million they paid this year and it's $32 million.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Every manager makes questionable moves. Just have to agree to disagree on this one.
  24. Bellhorn04
    The contract incentives all relate to options for next year. When you look into it it only made sense.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Although Refsnyder has done enough to warrant bringing him back, because he's also very cheap.
