Yes, along with the infinity of other hypothetical turn back time things we'll never know. Santana hasn't even played the last 3 games BTW.
-
And that's one of the knocks a lot of Yankee fans have on Cashman.
-
This just in from Cherry-Picked Stat Samples R Us In his last 26 games Hunter Renfroe is hitting 333/413/578 for an OPS of 991. (OK, his BAbip is a little high at 382)

What's sort of interesting is that Sox fans don't say much about trading Rizzo. They seem to accept that one, even though AGon didn't really succeed here.
-
Technically, that was a sale, which made it even worse.
-
Leave it to Sox fans to be still getting all worked up over a trade for a reliever that happened in 2016. Then again, they never stop lamenting about a trade for a reliever in 1990.
-
Agree on all those points. Renfroe has also proved to be an excellent signing. He has become a key player.
-
It was a good contract at the time. Only two years guaranteed, with a third at our option. Even if you look backward to compare to Papelbon's deal, it was a guaranteed amount of less than half of that.
-
Kike 0.9 bWAR Holt -0.1 bWAR That's a win in difference, in less than half a season. I would argue that money for Holt would have been even more wasted. Kike's defensive numbers are what boost his WAR.
-
Well, this particular back and forth started with Nick's post above.
-
Then you agree with my simple point, which is that it wasn't a "double whammy". We overpaid in prospect capital, but it was a good contract.

6/25 vs Yankees (Pedroia's Retirement Party)

It's sheer delight how annoying it is for Yankees fans to have to watch Whitlock pitching for us instead of them. -
Lucchino got blamed for $95 million contracts. Cora is only on the hook for $14 million. So it's progress.

Yes, I think that in general Cora has done a fine job with the pitching changes all year. It's one of his strengths as a manager. -
Anyone who is really paying attention sees that Bloom spent just enough to put us about $5 mill under the first tax threshold, presumably leaving that for the deadline. And by doing so, in spite of all our issues, payroll and otherwise, he managed to assemble a contending team. The rest is just noise, really.

Who gets sent down from the rotation once Sale is back?

Rocker must be the king of catching 'em looking! -
Except he's not batting 1st any more.
-
It was a mild overpay at most. Kike has averaged about 2.5 bWAR per 150 games over his career. He's at 0.9 bWAR right now this year. People are really starting to expect a lot for 7 mill a year, I guess...
-
Somehow I doubt that Chaim Bloom went to Alex Cora asking him who to sign. Kike was virtually full time for the Dodgers his last 3 seasons with them. Let's not distort the truth for the sake of making a point.
-
Think you may have missed the other posts about Richards, including the one right above yours.
-
When you talked about trading Barnes even if we're in the hunt, now that was bordering on nonsensical.
-
Career-ending injuries are a bitch.
-
I know that notin. My only point all along has been that Kimbrel's contract was a relative bargain. It was not a 'double whammy'. As mvp says, it was a mild overpay.
-
As I keep asking, what would Kimbrel have gotten if he WAS a free agent that offseason. Based on what we know, it would have been around 70 million. The previous big contract for a closer was Paps at 50 million after 2011. My estimate is a totally fair one.
