Ownership is fine too, in my opinion. They seem to change course a lot, but keep spending and keep winning, in general.
-
He won't stay at DH for long, presumably. JH needs to be the DH most of the time.
-
Munoz will likely get his chance soon. Just as many others have this year.
-
DD inherited payroll problems, and so did Bloom. We agree on that. Personally I find the blame game a tiresome one. Makes us sound pretty sour and ungrateful considering the great run we've had.
-
Those would be very quick axes.
-
Mid-range signing, but OK.
-
Once again there is no mercy shown to those jettisoned for non-performance. Now that Marwin is gone, it's Cordero and Santana waiting for the next fall of the axe.
-
Dombrowski made 2 big splash signings - Price and JDM. And JDM's price came in lower than initially expected. The narrative is false.
-
A lot of the payroll inherited was dead money. And a lot of the increases were arb increases.

Pardon?

Clutch vs. choke - do these numbers mean anything?

OK. My answer would be that the sac fly was clutch and Schourek was clutch. -
I understand believing that. But it's speculation. I think Kimmi settles for a 50/50 on that one. By the same token, we know that DD wasn't hired to penny-pinch and future-build, so why does he get raked for what he did?

High and low leverage are defined, that's why I thought they might be useful. -
Music.
-
It did seem like a good idea at the time. I only mention it again in the context of the silly 'Ben couldn't spend, but DD could spend as much as he wanted' argument.
-
Personally I don't blame him. Just about everything he says gets used against him. How many times have we heard about how he reversed his position on the 'no pitchers over 30' thing? I think I read about it again here today!

Isolated examples. I tried to present some objective large sample data in the opening post. -
Must we say it again? Cherington spent 350 million on Porcello, Hanley, Pablo and Rusney. He also signed the Pedroia extension. All those things impacted 2018 and 2019 too. And I think there's a possibility that the decision makers who replaced DD in Detroit did a lousy job. It's been a long time now.
-
Yes he is. Dodgers went all in for sure. Personally I'm rather tickled they're 5 games behind the Giants.
-
It was just an enticing rumor.
-
The Dodgers blew away anyone else's possible offers. They also got Trea Turner, of course.
-
I thought we agreed that had to be fiction. Of course, it's hypothetically possible they said if you can get Scherzer we'll go over, otherwise no.
-
Hitters are more patient and managers are more hook-happy. I'd like to see these numbers for the Rays.
-
mvp seems to think we should have been one or the other - serious buyers, or sellers. Not the wishy-washy in-between thing we sort of did.
-
Dombrowski has 2 rings and I'm guessing he's fairly comfortable financially. Not the worst.
