  1. I like this team.
  2. I wonder how many teams are in 'waiting around for bargains' mode...
  3. I was joking.
  4. Just need that one big domino to fall and the rest will start falling!
  5. Yep, even guys who say JBJ is their favorite player want him gone.
  6. I would suspect the tax is not the only consideration.
  7. What happened to Pillar?
  8. Why should anyone?
  9. But you'd have to give up value for one year of Lynn, that's the issue.
  10. Porcello to innings is like a brontosaurus to tall, leafy trees.
  11. I honestly have no freaking idea. They could bring back Brock Holt for a season and I'd probably be happy with that.
  12. The thing about Porcello is he takes the ball every fifth day, and chomps innings. He has to be one of the most durable pitchers in the game over the last 20 years or more.
  13. And it's an admirably specific complaint.
  14. It's a little early to be thinking that way, no? They did exercise that rather expensive swellopt thing on Britton.
  15. Norm Charlton was more generous than that to the Red Sox. His horrible season as closer for the Mariners in 1997 led to the Slocumb for Lowe and Varitek trade.
  16. A pitcher's wins and losses should be looked at in a vacuum cleaner.
  17. She calls him fungible when she gets mad at him.
  18. I've still got some old school in me too. But I've come to realize that what the new schoolers say about W-L records is mostly true. Jacob DeGrom is a pretty good Exhibit A for it right now. Felix Hernandez was too, when he was King. Or if you want to go historical, just look at Blyleven and Ryan vs. Andy Pettitte.
  19. And those are funny comments, but a little short on analytics.
  20. W-L record is pretty far down on the list of stats people look at for pitchers now. It's so much a reflection of the teams you played on. Jacob DeGrom won back to back CYA's, and deservedly so, with a COMBINED record of 21-17 for 2 seasons. Gausman's peripherals suggest he's about a 3 WAR pitcher now. And 3 WAR on the free agent market has been worth over 20 million the last few seasons. It's a fair point about the depressed market. However, it's only a one-year commitment, and he might be in great demand at the trade deadline.
  21. No, it looks like a straight salary dump by a team in cost-cutting mode. Iglesias is due 9.125 million in the last year of his contract.
