Red Sox trade Hunter Renfroe in trade involving Jackie Bradley Jr
cp176 replied to Jasonbay44's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Limit your statistical reading. Too much of anything can be a bad thing. Pick 4 stats that you like the most and go with them. Keeps headaches to a minimum. Plus the fact that you might not become a pain in the ass to others by trying to impress them with a solid grasp of possibly some useless information. -
A post that i can support! WAIT 'TILL NEXT YEAR. It always made me look forward to the spring. 1967 came and screwed everything up.

Answer = Did you use your eyes? Good to see that we are starting to come full circle here. I'm all about momentum and clutch as well. There has always been only so much this brain could hold. Box scores worked pretty well for me and still do actually. -
I have been a sox fan since 1955. I have never been as turned off by a team as this one in all of my years.
-
ok here goes - i'll preface this with a no offense to anyone but not paying Eovaldi and Sale for what they had done and actually might still be able to do in the future would have been a huge mistake. Considering what both men have endured injury wise and what they fought through to get to the top, it would would have been foolish not to pay them if you had the capital which JH does. Over the course of my 67 years of following this team, we have had many gamers, winners and battlers. these two men represent the best of them. They are winners.i'v heard all of the crap about their ages and injury histories but i have to say that if you a multi billionaire who wants to win moving forward, you need to have players like this. You can hindsight all you like and cry about budgets all you want, signing them at the time was indeed the right thing to do.

Bogaerts is going to get paid. I'm thinking that at this point the Red Sox would have to overwhelm him to keep him. he has been to the top of the mountain for sure. Some of his ultimate decision might have to do with what are the chances the team he chooses to play for have of winning moving forward. it is possible and even likely that he might leave money on the table to play for a winner. The Red Sox might not be that team.
-
Has he ruined the farm yet and driven the big club into debtors prison ? Sorry Bell - I just could not help this. Someone will soon give us a reason explaining how the Phillies will be paying the price of success for years and years. My sarcasm is not aimed toward you Bell. lol
-
Don't forget who you are communicating with notin. I'm thinking that JH can afford whatever he wants to purchase. If you consider what he has purchased that should be obvious...
-
Cora made a point today of saying that duran is our centerfielder and is a part of what the team is trying to accomplish going forward. He has to defend his players for sure but after the way duran played today and has been playing it has to be very tough to do.
-
Gates and Musk certainly are at the top but I would be very curious to know what JH's worth is. He is a multi billionaire. what I have seen so far, really does make me wonder if a winning red sox team is much of a high priority. Has anyone heard anything from him? It is also good to see a few others here as sick as I am every time DD's is brought up as being a primary problem for Bloom. You man up and take responsibility. Move on...

Oh Bell really. Take it from someone who of course has no bias (lol), that title to which you refer does seem to have a few other candidates. Just like in the political world, depends on the side of the aisle you favor.
-
this probably is true. i would go further and say that most very good Red Sox fans do not immerse themselves in most of the outside the lines talk that gets discussed here.
-
So Bell - this is what the plan is - rebuild and compete every year? I wonder if that has ever been said before? If that is the plan, then of course I am all for it. Let's go. sounds really simple to me.
-
i think that it is quite easy to say that there is a plan if you are seeing something that you agree with. Obviously players have been added to the farm. That likely is a plan that most teams have. You do have to have players. If that was the plan, then adding Story just doesn't seem to work. There have been so many moves that don't seem to make much sense but could certainly be considered part of the "build up the farm" plan. I hope that that farm gets built up quickly because if Bogaerts, Devers, etc. are allowed to escape this mess I think that it is going to be a long time before something worth watching will be in Fenway again.

To be honest with you I think that it is pretty close to bing the same thing. I'm not perfect but it takes more than a discussion here to send me into attack mode. Pretty sure that I wouldn't have to say much before I would be a target as well. I think that you know for sure how I feel about Henry's budget so to speak. All i want for the Red Sox are good players and for a few years now some here have tried to educate me with what they think they know about his budget. Which quite likely is very little. Thankfully I guess that I am uneducable . lol
-
hmm Bell - How do you think I feel being a supporter of Dombrowskis? He has been blamed for so much by so many here in what I consider a weak attempt to support Bloom. We clearly have people who liked the wins but didn't appreciate the cost. I get that but constantly and I do mean constantly bringing his name up now that he is no longer with us in an attempt to support Bloom seems really a sad way to support IMO. Time to move on. I would be willing to show more support for Bloom if I actually liked and I mean really liked his moves and if he a recognizable plan going forward. As things stand currently, I can't watch them. It has to be extremely tough for the remaining winning veterans that we have. Some of them can't get out soon enough and I don't blame them.
-
In hindsight it absolutely could be called a blunder but at the time, I don't think so at all. Well worth the risk in my opinion. I've always been a JBJ fan but I don't see how anyone could come close to thinking that signing Sale to an extension in anyway compares to bringing him back. That move was really more than a blunder. With respect to Sale, he still might surprise us. Although Bell I have to say that based on Bloom's moves to date and all of the potential lineups for next season that I have seen people post here, i'm not sure any talented veteran would want to play for us regardless of the size of the contract. Some still want to win.
-
Not sure any comparison between taking a chance on Sale and taking a chance on JBJ makes any real sense. If a chance had to be taken, I wonder how many would have gone with Sale as opposed to JBJ. No matter how good jBJ was in the field, there is no way I could see the justification for bringing him back.
-
yes you did. So do we have a plan for next year? when you figure it out please let me know.
-
hey come on now, it is all about the budget. I'm sure that JH would be willing to fork more over if it wasn't for the budget. Even muti-billionaires must have an identifiable one don't you think? If it means giving up one or two generational talents oh well that's the way it goes. We are going to keep adding to the farm. lol
-
So you are saying that his plan is to keep adding to the farm? I'm looking at just about everyone that has been added in addition to those that have already been stockpiled and I don't see the next great player in the reasonably immediate future. Some good prospects but if adding to and log jamming players that may or may never make it to the bigs is the way of the Red Sox future , we might have a lot more hold your nose stinkers in front of us.
-
One thing that I really think could become apparent and hopefully not what we can expect is that regardless of how many people would like to think that Bloom really does have a plan going forward, based on many of his recent moves, he might not. I can't think of any logical reason for quite a few of them. He's either a genius with a plan or just a guy who was hired to run a hugely popular and wealthy franchise, and really doesn't know what he is doing.

The gift that keeps on giving Bell.
