    The success of last year didn't hurt us.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Turner was under team control for 1.3 seasons and 2 postseasons when the Dodgers got him. 2022 was his final arb year. Betts was only under team control for 1 season and 1 postseason.

    The only reason I can see for not making Houck closer is the future-oriented part. They probably have a certain number of innings they want him to pitch this year, and if they make him closer he won't reach that number.
  4. Bellhorn04
    No, but it's the accumulated effect of losing multiple popular homegrown stars.
  5. Bellhorn04
    You said Whitlock isn't helping the rotation. That made zero sense. Don't blame it on me.
  6. Bellhorn04
    The Harley will though, if it's well maintained, right?
  7. Bellhorn04
    Nah, Henry has gone cheap on us - how far do you expect to go on a $240 million payroll?
  8. Bellhorn04
    None of that sentence makes any sense.
  9. Bellhorn04
    The Dodgers are apparently in full agreement that he's not a starter, so we got that much right at least...
  10. Bellhorn04
    The only thing wrong with Hill is that he's looked like crap 2 of his last 3 starts.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Right, but with that fWAR you're talking Fungible...
  12. Bellhorn04
    Graterol is a decent reliever and no more. 2022 fWAR 0.1. Probably better than most of ours, but that's not saying much.
  13. Bellhorn04
    "Market value" is a nebulous concept with star baseball players, because you may end up in a bidding war with crazy people, the kind who will guarantee Corey Seager $325 mill...
  14. Bellhorn04
    The Harley and the Triumph will hold their value a long time. Ballplayers aren't quite as reliable.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Well stated.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Blowing an 8-2 lead in the first game was just ridiculous. That was a "statement game" of the worst kind.
  17. Bellhorn04
    We're obviously just not that good. The fire sale is still on.
  18. Bellhorn04
    The logic behind it isn't really that complicated. When the productive employees are baseball players, in order to keep them, you have to sign them to exorbitant guaranteed contracts that are based on past performance. You run the risk that they will soon become non-productive assets due to aging, injury or underperformance. And you'll still have to pay them. So you trade them for prospects and try to rebuild that way. None of which means I like the idea of losing guys like Bogey, JD, Eovaldi or least of all Devers.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Is it just me, or are there are a lot of players with the first name of Tyler now?
  20. Bellhorn04
    Batters faced by Hill in each start: 19 21 18 13 17 25 13 (gave up 4 runs and 7 baserunners in 2 innings) 18 So there's exactly one glaring example of him getting hooked before going through the order twice.
  21. Bellhorn04
    But what about the third time through the order principle?
  22. Bellhorn04
    Houck pitched 2 innings yesterday. Only 14 pitches, but it likely precludes the piggyback.
  23. Bellhorn04
    At this point I don't think anyone outside of Red Sox management knows why they're not trying Houck as closer.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Cordero and Vazquez have been a big help recently.
  25. Bellhorn04
    If he is demanding a Betts contract, we're screwed.
