    He was certainly allowed to spend! Just not nearly enough. No one is saying he didn’t spend. He hasn’t spent wisely or enough to make the team competitive.
  2. FredLynn
    No doubt! He won’t deserve it but his job is to fulfill Henry’s miserly policies. He’s good at that. I totally understand that Breslow works for the Cheapskate, not for me. If he had a spine he would stand up to his boss and tell him that unless the wallet opens up more we aren’t going to be winners. Of course he would be looking for a new job if he did that.
  3. FredLynn
    If it doesn't work out and we do not compete for a ring THIS YEAR Breslow can start looking for a job selling used cars.

    Cole missed the entire year. Anthony played until September 2. Big difference. We had Anthony nearly all year. The Yankmees are getting back an ace that missed the whole season. And they have a lot more players who can hit the baseball. We have Anthony and a prayer.
  5. FredLynn
    I really don’t care what the Athletic gave the Yankmees for a grade. Cole was out all year and he’ll be back, and they lost almost nobody. We lost a lot of thump in our lineup and will likely be bottom half or bottom third in runs scored. Suarez doesn’t make up for that. The Jays and Os are significantly better and will likely finish ahead of the Flops. Thanks Breslow. Thanks Henry the Cheap.
  6. FredLynn
    Yeah. It was just wonderful. Half assed job at best. I’d give him maybe a C. If he didn’t sign Suarez I’d give him an F. The Yankees, Jays, and the Os will finish above us. Take it to the bank. I’m getting pretty good at the prediction business. I predicted they would sign dumpster products rather than get a quality IF bat. And that’s exactly what they did. Disgusting franchise.
  7. FredLynn
    We are a fourth place team at best. The other teams in the division improved more than we did. Henry lied to us again.
  8. FredLynn
    I think you’re giving him too much credit. I believe (and I admit I don’t know for sure) that he puts a higher priority on profit than winning and knows that the recent iterations of the Flops weren’t winners. That makes him dishonest. How about that “full throttle” comment. Was that honest?
  9. FredLynn
    At the end of the day you have to be able to score runs. We had a problem with that towards the end of last year. We are far worse in that regard this year. I think 85-86 wins is about right. And again no playoffs.
  10. FredLynn
    86 wins is about right. And no playoffs. Again. NOT winning baseball. Breslow and Henry screwed up.
  11. FredLynn
    IMO FWar is somebody’s estimate of value. It represents POTENTIAL, not data. It’s not meaningless but I do take it with a grain of salt. I also think that WINNING means competing for a ring nearly every year, not last place or middle of the pack finishes. I don’t think you believe that we were “winning” when we were mediocre at best. Last year was an improvement but no one expected us to WIN a ring or really even compete for one. I doubt very much if Henry thinks that winning means third place finishes. Therefore imo he is being DISHONEST at best and certainly on the cheap side.
  12. FredLynn
    I think Henry is dishonest. If you say you are committed to winning but fail to try your best to make that happen and you have the resources to do it, then you are being dishonest.
  13. FredLynn
    I was being a bit sarcastic. No, we don't spend like a small market team, but as a percentage of revenue we do. We agree that more should be spent, for whatever that is worth.
  14. FredLynn
    No, we are NOT a small market team. Ownership just spends like one.
  15. FredLynn
    Gonzalez is behind schedule with his rehab.
  16. FredLynn
    The Henrys need their lobster breakfast every morning.
  17. FredLynn
    The franchise makes enough money to put us in the top five and a serious competitor for a ring.
  18. FredLynn
    I think we are marginally better this year, maybe by 2-3 games in the W column. I also think Mayer can do much better and that there’s a chance that Casas could also contribute. But there was more money that could have been spent to make the team a solid contender for a ring, and I know you feel the same way.
  19. FredLynn
    Sounds like more excuses to me. The money is there to make us competitive. As the team now stands we will likely be bottom third in runs scored. Tough to compete for a ring that way.
  20. FredLynn
    Winning is being able to compete for a ring nearly every year. If we finish with 82 wins is that winning enough for you? Or squeaking into the playoffs only to be promptly eliminated in round one?
  21. FredLynn
    Saying that you are committed to winning but remaining below average in percentage of revenue spent on salaries is IMO dishonest. If you say you are going to do something then do not do everything in your power to make it happen, barring disaster, thats dishonest. You know-like the "full throttle" comment from last year.
  22. FredLynn
    Caleb Durbin. Now our season is surely saved. OPS+: 101
  23. FredLynn
    "Cheap" IMO is having the resources to spend much more on quality players to fulfill his so-called desire to win but not spending them. Dishonest? I could live with that term instead of cheap.
  24. FredLynn
    Still below average.
