And I guess you and I will always disagree on this one. I think Kimbrel's contract was very favorable for the Sox. Yes, the annual salary was close to the top at the time, but it was only a 2 year guarantee with a team option for a third. Or to put it another way, Kimbrel was only guaranteed 24 million, and next offseason Chapman got 86 million guaranteed - about 3.5 times as much.

Agreed. And nice job with the mélange of metaphors.
-
Agreed. For some reason they're hanging Callaway out to dry instead of firing him. I'm guessing the firing comes eventually.
-
Yeah, but to me it's also one offense. Unless there's a pattern of behavior behind it.
-
Perhaps or maybe or we'll see or not.

So COVID issues count the same as every other health issue?

I'm with Bill Maher on the cancellation thing. Instead of just cancelling people left and right as a response, why not use it as an educational experience and make something positive out of it.

"I'm tired of paying his interpreter" was not a real smart way to address the language issue LOL

Who should the Sox have play CF on opening day?

I guess what you're saying is 'don't outbid ourselves'. To me Bradley is a pretty solid value at 2/12. -
To me the only overkill with Kimbrel was giving up Logan Allen, which apparently wasn't necessary. Other than that I don't see either move as overkill. We needed these guys. But I know we'll always have a difference of opinion on this, which is fine.

And you ignore all the actual projections out there and just go with your gut feelings.
-
Yep, just like most things in life.
-
It's hard to believe what birdbrains some of these guys are. And to say things like these in a time of such heightened sensitivity and so many cancel culture disasters.
-
But where was the overkill, exactly - the Sale trade? I would argue that we needed him pretty badly and it wasn't overkill. In his first season we won 93 games. Might have only won 88 or so without him. That doesn't look like overkill.

Cool names.
-
Gonzo's meager career .732 OPS vs. RHP tends to belie that premise.
-
He will.
-
He is.
-
That would be the Worst. Plan. Ever. It would be like the way I used to play chess - looking three and four moves ahead and getting checkmated before we made it that far. I was a lousy chess player.

Right. But then there's the old golf adage - 100% of putts that are short of the hole don't go in...
-
Absolutely. They were all-in for 2019. Then everything went sideways.
-
I'm with you all the way. It seems like there's a golden opportunity for us to increase our chances in 2021, and with Odorizzi, also put another good piece in place for 2022/2023. Like you, I'm starting to wonder about Odorizzi's medicals...

Right, and here's what MLBTR predicted for contracts: Springer 5/125 JBJ 2/16 A big gap between first and second...

Jackie's market price is set more by a guy like Pillar.

Kike's OPS+ for last 4 seasons: 92 117 87 83 Doesn't really suggest he's getting better.
