"When Henry was spending" Again, our payroll is still one of the 3 highest in baseball. A lot of the guys on that 2018 team became much more expensive since then. It's just the way the MLB system is. And after that 2018 season he forked out 145 mill for Sale, 120 mill for Bogey, and 68 mill for Eovaldi. That's 333 million. And yet people talk like he got cheap.

You're right, budding was not the right adjective. But he seemed to be on upward track, with 2010 being his best season.

On paper Crawford was a budding superstar. His last year with the Rays he hit .307 with 19 HR and 90 RBI, and 47 steals. Gold Glove. 7th in MVP voting. 35.6 WAR in his career with the Rays. And he was only 29.

You're trying to make it a totally black and white, one or the other thing, which it isn't. Signing and retaining excellent players sounds great. But they're super-expensive so you only afford so many of them. We're paying Sale, JDM, Bogaerts and Eovaldi $20 million apiece or so. We still have one of the highest payrolls in the game, in spite of all the bellyaching. Since Henry bought the team he has never failed to spend on it.

Reality check: both Beni and JBJ took a lot of flak from fans for their ups and downs. The only guy that most people care about losing is Betts.

MLBTR predicted 2 yrs $16 mil. So it's 50% more money. I think he did well in this market.

Who should the Sox have play CF on opening day?

But it was generally agreed here that the $11 million he got for 2020 was several million too high. -

Not at all good for JBJ? He got 50% more money than MLBTR predicted. -

Way too much. Good for him. -
I was arguing vociferously against trading him this offseason. I think you had him in a few of your trade ideas.

So...a straight salary dump.

Upper Deck Dalbec. -
Bobby "Upper Deck" Dalbec.

Ruth, Williams, Gehrig, Bonds. Those are the players with a career OPS of 1.05 or higher. Mike Trout 1.000 Manny Ramirez .996

Think big! Just don't be disappointed if he can't reach those thermonuclear levels.
-
You're bang on.
-
Devers had a .916 OPS and led the majors in total bases in 2019. I don't really see him blowing that away. Doing similar things would be enough for me.

This is putting Tito in a rather bad spot now.
-
141, that is.
-
This year's pre-season expectations are muddled because of the X factors. I felt much the same way before the 2015 season.
-
The fact is that the franchise has been on a roller coaster ride since 2011.

Here's what you posted last night: I have to think it's kind of funny some of the "cliff deniers" are the now projecting doom & gloom, and many of the "cliff dwellers" are the more optimistic ones. You seem to like making it into a political issue - "cliff deniers" on one side, "cliff dwellers" on the other. And just like with real politics, it's a "gotcha" game. Ha ha, look at the cliff deniers now, what fools they are.

I'm not sure why there's a need to use it, so I guess we're even.

Who says it needs a special name? What was the special name for 2014-2015?
