I suppose one could relate this to something like Kimmi's claims about Dombrowski's trade for Sale being "overkill". Too much expenditure to get better, law of diminishing returns and all that.
Yes, I have to agree about spreading the risk.
So far his misses have been easily survivable. Like Richards and Perez. Sure they were like crumbled dung after the sticky stuff crackdown. But it didn't hurt us that much on the field or in payroll commitments.
Column by Peter Abraham in the Globe coincides with the following points from posters:
1) It was all about the prospects. Bloom seems really high on both.
2) Sold high on Renfroe (Bloom didn't say that, Abraham did). Abraham also mentioned Renfroe's defensive issues.
3) Bloom expects some offensive bounce-back from JBJ.
So there you have it, folks. Maybe it looks FOS to some, but I can see the reasoning behind it.
There is no "elite clique" here. We're all just a bunch of random Red Sox fans and we all think a little differently. I'm one of the most frequent posters, along with moon, notin and mvp78. I agree with them on some things and disagree on others. I don't think anyone tries to lord it over anyone here.
I was on a board once called Sawxheads where the posters split up into two main groups, optimists and pessimists, and it got very ugly. This board is much better.
He said it's "hard to grasp", didn't he?
You either have bad reading comprehension, or you're just a regular old troll. Starting to lean toward the latter.
Well, I'd say you've officially become one of the obnoxious ones.
Before this you posted your little joke about 'if Bloom took a dump in the outfield' more than once. So yeah, you've definitely made the grade.
Congrats.
C'mon now, harms.
You're conveniently leaving out the subtractions of Correa and Greinke.
And yes, I realize they could still sign them, but that wasn't the point.
As of today, the Astros are not better than last year, they're worse.
