You are definitely the board's MSP (Most Sardonic Poster).
-
If you want a clean balance sheet, Bloom is definitely your guy!
-
Larry, Talksox posters are familiar with Bradley's issues with the bat. He did hit .283 in the short 2020 season.
-
There's no doubt that Bloom is looking ahead to beyond this year. What's a little scary is all the talent we stand to lose after 2022. We'll be shedding a lot of payroll along with them of course. Which seems to set up a wild off-season of spending next year. It's gonna be interesting to watch.

Renfroe had a good year with the stick, no one is arguing that. For people who get hung up on RBI I like to point out these stats from the 2007 Red Sox: Pedroia .317 BA 50 RBI Lugo .237 BA 73 RBI
-
Not caring about OPS goes beyond old school into crazy school.
-
Schwarber put up a .435 OBP and .957 OPS for us in 41 regular season games. Can't expect much more than that.
-
I would not have complained if they re-signed ERod, but he spent most of 2021 having abuse heaped on him here. And that was when he was only making 8.3 million.
-
OK, but "Bloom got exposed" is a little over the top. We beat the Yankees and the Rays and had a great chance to beat the Stros. -
If Bloom can find one Pivetta, he can find others.
-
That's kind of silly. Gausman has a career fWAR of 19.9. He has averaged about 3 fWAR per 175 innings.
-
Our offense got shut down completely the last 3 games of the series.
-
Maybe they're all scary.
-
Robles had a 3.60 ERA for us last year. Not really that bad?
-
I wouldn't have minded a guy like Gausman for 5/110. Who are we going to go large and long on?
-
It looks like Henry has authorized Bloom to spend up to the 230 mill mark. I think the overall strategy is all Bloom's though.
-
That was funny, even though I know nothing about pets.com.
-
I think there will be more moves, but nothing that's predictable. One thing Bloom did show us last year is that he stays on the job, the way he did picking up Shaw and Iggy to help us at the end.
-
As you know, Bloom never does anything any of us have in mind.
-
Paxton might pull an Eovaldi and get healthy, who knows. It's a funny old game.
-
I don't know. Seager's last 4 seasons haven't been anything special either. His highest fWAR in the last 4 seasons was 3.7. Impacted by injuries obviously.
-
But he can opt out after 2022, and undoubtedly will if he has a good season.
-
Bloom is one disciplined dude. Hopefully his strategy pays off. I suspect there are more bits and pieces to be added. I'm EXTREMELY skeptical about Story, with so many other teams in play.
-
A lot of it is just replacement though. When you sign as many guys to 1 year deals as Bloom does, you really have to keep busy!
-
Maybe he WAS asking for too much, and no one would pay it, so his agent advised him to take a deal like this one. He can opt out after 2022 and try again.
