Who should the Sox have play CF on opening day?

The Pillar of Strength! (OK, maybe I only voted for him so I could use that.) -
Bloom took a while before he named Roenicke too. He's a patient man.
-
Holy s***. I didn't know what you were talking about till I looked it up.
-
I remember that when the Nats signed Jayson Werth for 7/126, they basically said the only way they could sign any big names then was with a massive overpay.
-
Cliff Lee, supposedly. And there have been a few others who said they took a little less. But most of the data on the offers is never made publicly available, so how would we know? Sometimes you hear people say 'we outbid ourselves' as in signings like Price and Eovaldi. But we have no actual clue what other offers there were.
-
Don't worry, Chaim's Crackheads are on it!
-
Great questions, Larry!
-
You might be the best qualified candidate here, but I think you fall a little short of that list LOL
-
I have my doubts any posters here can satisfy that list of qualifications!

Lakins wasn't traded by DD.
-
A fun exercise might be to figure out what our roster would look like if you reversed every DD trade as if it never happened.
-
OK, here's your chance: spell out the major part of your complaint.
-
My bad. From now on that will read 'prospect'.
-
And they often have a bias toward the highest offer...
-
All of this is pretty much what I've been saying too.
-
Not true at all. DD gets blasted regularly whenever our current situation is mentioned.
-
It's the 'average fan' I'm concerned about. They're the ones who basically foot the bill. The World Series TV ratings were horrendous this year. Of course it's hard to say how much of that is because of COVID and related issues, and how much because a lot less people care about watching baseball anymore.
-
As I've said before, it's a natural bias. You hope that we're getting and keeping the right ones and trading the right ones. You did open the DD can of worms, though. Actually, that can pretty much stays open. Because some people keep saying over and over that he decimated the farm. But as of right now, only one player he traded has registered a season with an fWAR higher than 2.1.
-
Age does become a factor though.
-
Correct, but it is a somewhat different argument, if you really want to get into it.

Excellent. We have something new to argue about already!
-
Of course they didn't.
-
You're right, except we got these guys for virtually nothing. And Pivetta did have a couple of good games!
