  1. Their payroll is close to $290 million for tax purposes. I wonder how much tax that translates to? I'm not sure if they can get out of paying Bauer or not. The criminal case against him fell through.
  2. He said "in favor for trading".
  3. Who would have thought what a blessing it was that trade fell through? It ended up the Red Sox only had to pay an additional $12 million, and they passed. It was fate.
  4. I thought Lester was going to be with Manny in the trade for A-Rod.
  5. My recollection is that they also had a deal lined up to trade Nomar for Magglio Ordonez.
  6. Chaim Bloom = the Bring 'Em Back Kid.
  7. 45 minutes? Jeezus. You must think people in 1912 had brains the size of cats' brains.
  8. Seems obvious we're passing on everyone who costs more than a few mill.
  9. It can be done on a piece of paper fairly quickly if you can multiply and divide.
  10. Well, you made me look it up. ERA has been around since 1912. A whole lot of time passed between 1912 and the advent of modern analytics.
  11. Kennedy said the goal was to be competitive every year.
  12. But if the Sox really are punting this season why not trade Eovaldi, JDM and Kike too?
  13. Still not buying that there isn't a huge difference between 1) dividing runs by innings and 2) computerized data analysis. Good effort on your part though.
  14. Don't know the answer, but it's a great question. I would think Jays players are virtually forced to be vaxed.
  15. Yes, that all makes sense. And "nibbling" is a good word for it.
  16. We're playing baseball? Holy crap.
  17. You're really trying to equate ERA, which a grade school kid can calculate, with numbers like WAR? OK...
  18. Keep crossin' em off.
  19. Yeah, like I say, we were kind of putting our faith in DD and the medical staff to evaluate Chris's health properly.
  20. Modern analytics are NOT popular with the 'average fan' the way those well-known stats are. fWAR makes the average fan's eyes glaze over. IMHO.
  21. I get that - my feelings have been like that, too.
  22. It was a no brainer to be worried about him, yes.
  23. Every single Red Sox fan has been nervous about Sale's health starting in about August 2018, if not sooner. We just assumed the doctors who examined him knew what they were doing.
