    Dombrowski did a great job in 2018 without giving up much more than middling prospects.

    It raises some interesting questions on the circumstances under which the home team can delay the start of a game. I suspect the guidelines are not as clear-cut as I'd like them to be.

    Kimbrel is simply too pricy. Bloom's forte is finding guys who are underpriced.
  4. Bellhorn04
    I'll challenge that one. And I don't think we should include players that were traded by teams that legit couldn't afford to keep them.

    Pretty impressive list of players traded away by the Red Sox since the early 70's. Betts Bagwell Lynn Cooper Smith

    Right, but how did the weather forecast play into this? The only way it makes sense is if the original forecast showed clear/rain/clear, and it turned out to be actually clear/rain/rain harder.

    Pretty sure that's not what he meant. Ted was only a 2 tool guy, but they were mega-tools.
  8. Bellhorn04
    That's the part that defies any reasoning.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Best since Yaz, or best since Ted Williams.

    I was a big Freddie fan too, but what about Rice and Boggs? They're in the Hall of Fame, not Fred.

    "Put a Fork in These Yankees" would be my first guess.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Honestly, the 2021 Yankees are having one of the most hellish seasons I've ever seen a team have.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Hopefully it doesn't.

    Just like that Mookie is en fuego. Lifted his OPS from .799 to .846 in 3 games.

    You're right about Schiraldi, he was very good that year. Just unfortunate. I think the real point is that seasons often get decided by whether the closer can nail it down or not. Admittedly I am one of those who 'over-romanticize' the postseason.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Or the Tampa Plague.

    If the Yankees win tonight, the headline will say something like "Yankees not quite dead yet".
  18. Bellhorn04
    Yep, Houck and Duran were both drafted by DD.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Unfortunately that guy was let go. His name is Bob Hamelin. There was a nice story on him in the Globe. They should hire him back or give him a fat bonus or something.

    No one knows a gosh darn thing about how they're going to work this.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Poor Calvin blew the save two separate times in that game. You don't see that too often.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Yes, but not good enough.
  23. Bellhorn04
    I understand the thinking behind that, but I don't think it's quite that simple. In modern baseball you need it all - position players, starting pitchers and relievers. As far as individual players go, sure, a reliever can never be as valuable, because they only log 60-70 innings. If you think market prices have any meaning, the most a reliever can make is about half of a starter (Chapman vs. Cole, for example). But there's a value in having an elite closer which is not necessarily measurable. The Red Sox might have won the World Series in 1975, 1986 and 2003 if they had a great closer those years. And Foulke, Papelbon and Koji were huge factors in 2004, 2007 and 2013.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Until who returns?
  25. Bellhorn04
    Are we talking about a bet here???!!!
