Sometimes everybody is partially right. You're right that Bloom walked into a less than ideal situation. But Bloom has had a fairly lousy 2022 that can't simply be blamed on DD.
-
It's possible that's what Bloom wanted to do but the owners vetoed it, for PR reasons.
-
Pretty sweet seeing the Yanks lose to the guy they traded, Montgomery, last night, and then today Montas, the guy that's replacing Montgomery, gives up 6 in 3 innings.

More personal insults. You're a pretty immature guy, when it comes down to it.
-
Just as you are entitled to continue being the most pompous poster on the board.

Strawman.

I don't worry about it. I don't even think about it. Because I know it ain't happening. -
From the farm, and from payroll being freed up as contracts like JD's, Price's and Eovaldi's expire.

The front office said the plan was to rebuild and compete at the same time. In 2021 and 2022 competing meant having a good shot at making the playoffs each year. It succeeded last year and looks likely to fail this year for various reasons. As for not divulging specific plans for 2023 to Merloni, that's to be expected. GM's are not supposed to tip their hand to the rest of baseball.

This loss goes to Eovaldi. He hasn't been the same since coming off the IL, and it's just one more thing that's hurting us... -
I think that's very possible, yes.
-
fWAR says: Schwarber 1.6 Renfroe 1.3 Neither are really having great seasons, but acceptable.
-
Bingo. I'm getting a little tired of people saying they don't know what the plan is. The fact is they just don't like the plan.
-
In another brilliant stroke of irony from the Baseball Gods, the Yankees will face their old teammate Jordan Montgomery tonight, in a game televised on Fox.
-
I like that Hosmer/Dalbec platoon quite a bit. It would be very cheap and should produce an OPS over .800.
-
A Hosmer/Dalbec platoon might actually work, in the short term at least. Hosmer hits .811 vs. RHP and Dalbec hits .853 vs. LHP.

Here's one I overlooked until I saw the name of the first guy on the list. Beverages Seth Beer Bobby Wine Pedro Borbon (small cheat) Phil Coke Todd Coffey

Have you been on a Mets fans forum? I keep tabs on a Yankee fan forum, and the amount of complaining they do is amazing. Hardly any of them support Cashman or Boone. Many of them think this year's team is in the midst of a collapse. The underlying reason for all that, I'm sure, is that they've only won it all once since 2000.
-
But as Bloom supporters keep trying to point out, a huge chunk of the $200M comes from big contracts signed by DD. Including Price's unproductive $16 mill and Sale's unproductive $26 mill. And JD's underperforming $22 mill. And Eovaldi's underperforming $17 mill. That's over $80 mill of it.
-
I know what you're saying, but the attacks are against DD, not you. dgalehouse keeps going after anyone who supports Bloom.
-
Correct.
-
Refresh your memory by reading my first signature line.
-
He had no really good options IMHO.
-
I actually think Henry has more guts than people give him credit for. I think he knew there was going to be pain when he replaced DD with Bloom. Red Sox fans make a ruckus but at the end of the day they stick around. They have stuck around through 4 last place finishes since 2012, and yes, it may be 5 after this year.
-
I think it all adds to the inflationary trend.
