  1. It was notin that first asked that question. I think what he was getting at was, all that really matters is total value. Hence my silly little 'Mookie vs. Ted' scenario.
  2. The latest theme in this thread is 'what's the big deal about 5 tool players?'
  3. No rentals at all? Not even like the ones we got in 2018? He said that?
  4. Yeah sure, blame Dave because the billionaire owners didn't want to pay a little more tax.
  5. What makes you confident we win game 2 with our hitting in this series? Best case scenario in game 2 was a suspended game completed yesterday.
  6. And I forgot Nomar.
  7. But isn't every single one of Mayer's tools better than Kavadas's? If you want to make an absurd comparison, here's one: Mookie vs. Ted. Ted would probably have fine being a DH, based on the stories about his attitude toward fielding.
  8. It's a very sensible move. Not sure it had anything to do with that play, considering the bad conditions.
  9. What I would say is that Cole is a terrific pitcher who was on his game last night. Last time we faced him he was a terrific pitcher who was off his game, and we got 3 homers and 6 runs off him in 5 innings.
  10. Although it was after the 2013 season that the Yankees signed him.
  11. The relevant comparison was between Cole and Eovaldi though.
  12. Stanton has an 827 OPS this year, LeMahieu has a 715. So I assume your position is that LeMahieu is a better clutch hitter?
  13. Says the man called Denny Galehouse LOL
  14. I'm talking about teams with legit small revenues and payrolls. Anyway, the first step would be to find any team who traded 5 players of that caliber in their prime or pre-prime. I have my doubts there are any.
  15. Dombrowski did a great job in 2018 without giving up much more than middling prospects.
  16. 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.
  17. Kimbrel is simply too pricy. Bloom's forte is finding guys who are underpriced.
  18. 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.
  19. Pretty impressive list of players traded away by the Red Sox since the early 70's. Betts Bagwell Lynn Cooper Smith
  20. 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.
  21. Pretty sure that's not what he meant. Ted was only a 2 tool guy, but they were mega-tools.
  22. That's the part that defies any reasoning.
  23. Best since Yaz, or best since Ted Williams.
  24. I was a big Freddie fan too, but what about Rice and Boggs? They're in the Hall of Fame, not Fred.
  25. "Put a Fork in These Yankees" would be my first guess.
