I still think that there is a chance that Kimbrel comes back to Boston. Possibly because I like him and partly because I think that the primary people worrying about the Red sox budget to an extreme might be a few posters here.
-
stopping = you being done (fact). Just keep on keepin on.
-
I hear you and it is a good thing. I'm a golfer and I play in an area that I think is a bit of a hidden gem. Lake Wales and I am having the time of my life. Important to stay young.
-
The Price contract or any long term contract for that matter will always be up for debate. it is impossible to say at this point in time whether it was a good sign or not.
-
Did i hear right the other day that Harper just got a haircut? hmmm
-
I remember that team real well.
-
As in never. lol - Frank Robinson was a childhood hero. One of the absolute greatest players of all time.
-
I know I know - you are right. What I clearly should have asked was if Moon and Larry also felt whether or not employers should be able to have reasonable expectations with respect to clothing and grooming when hiring someone to work for them. Could have been some good backlash there. I'll keep trying my best to stir a few things up!
-
Not sure how you guys can get away with this without some young person comeback. You and Larry have clearly reached the ranks of the untouchables! lol
-
For the record, I actually enjoy reading what the folks here who value all things statistical have to say. Moon - I played strato the advanced version for many years. I still have the 78 season kicking around the house. We did not have computers to do our computations for us back in the day (pre 1965). I absolutely give credit to this game for my learning some very basic math facts and being able to actually factor on the fly. I love the game and all things statistical the enhance it. Keep the flood of info coming.
-
ok - not so much but if that is your interpretation it is ok. I actually thought that someone might see through parts of my statement and understand that I truly think that often times our resident Yankee fan is full of crap.
-
It certainly has sounded doubtful that he will be coming back but you never know. He won't get what he has been asking for from Boston safe to say but on the other hand who in their right mind would offer him that? What he is asking for and what he will ultimately take if indeed he wants to play may send him back to the Sox.
-
Wouldn't it be nice for some if the games were actually played out on paper. Stat folk might be happy I guess. Kind of like playing Strato - the advanced version of course. News flash - Games are played on the field. Predict away all you want folks. Quote as many reliable sources that you wish to prove your pre- season points. Have fun but remember - Sometimes all of the predictions go for naught. That is what makes the real season as opposed to the created on paper season much more entertaining. I kind of like our Red Sox.
-
Have to add though that as each day passes and we get closer to spring, with Kimbrel not finding a fit that he likes, I like our chances of his returning more and more. Not great but there is still a chance.
-
I'm with you here. Hopefully no one though would be too excited to sign a closer no matter how good to a long term contract costing huge amounts of money. i would still love to see Kimbrel come back but certainly not for the asking price. It it starting to look as though owners feel about the same way. Very little has been said about any of the guys out there looking for these huge $ long term contracts.
-
Like i said, if you are really looking for a weakness on our team, it is likely that you might say it is the bullpen. Sadly for our opponents though, the rest of the team is just so damn good, that you do in fact have to search for weak areas to talk about. Losing Joe Kelly I think amounts to not much of any significance. Not having Kimbrel out there does affect us.
-
If you have no other issues with respect to your team, then i guess you could say that any signs of weakness could be considered critical or certainly areas of concern. We really don't have areas of immense weakness on this team. Losing Kimbrel certainly could hurt. Losing Kelley, not so much. Signing Kimbrel to a contract that if you factoring I'm in love with all things statistical guys are right that signing him ultimately costs us 29 million $, would be an absolutely ridiculous thing to do.
-
I'm ok with that too. How about you?
-
I do understand that but the reality is that given what we currently have, paying that much in totality is too much to pay. I still wish that we had him coming back and I guess a part of me stills sees a slight chance of it happening.
-
Now it does make a little sense to me. If it is likely to wind up costing 29,000,000 to retain Kimbrel's services in real money, you just have to pass.
-
You would all appreciate the following more if we were still doing the computation with pencil and paper - wins and losses - era - batting average - rbi's - saves. I'm glad that that is how I learned.
-
You are something - in a good way!
-
Great - Is that a prerequisite to play?
-
Seriously - you leave me out. You stat blatters are really something. lol
-
It was my point and thanks for trying to see it. I do though think that you could use this perspective with respect to many things and in many different ways of life as well. I'm not going to judge any of these users and alleged users primarily because I honestly believe that the people who do the judging may not be using steroids but are likely far from perfect.
