Yeah, that too.
-
Right or wrong, I always lose a bit of respect for a player when he signs with Boras.
-
I am still on the Pedroia bandwagon. Then again, I might be the only person here who would happily take Hanley back.
-
Why would Seattle want Pedroia, much less kick in a chunk of money? From what I understand, they are looking for someone to take on Cano's entire contract as part of the deal to get Diaz. They don't want to take on a contract in return, even if it's a better contract.
-
Kimbrel served his purpose here, and served it well. It's time to move on.
-
I don't see how we could beat out packages from other teams. Maybe Dombrowski is considering taking on part of Cano's contract? I would hope not. In the end, I don't see us being able to get Diaz. He is a top commodity right now. However, I do see believe that Dave will bring in a proven closer one way or another. I can't see him going the route of letting one of our current relievers win the role.
-
Yes, he did. And he earned a lot of respect and admiration from me for doing so.
-
I think you and I are mostly on the same page when it comes to long term contracts. If there were a player who I'd give a 10 year contract to, it would be Mookie. But as good as he is, I still couldn't do that.
-
I can agree with this to a certain extent.
-
I really wish more players accepted contracts for reasons other than getting the most money.
-
I would rather have JD opt out than have the Sox re-negotiate his contract for more guaranteed years.
-
My hope is that the market is as tight as it was last year, and neither one of those guys gets anywhere close to what is being predicted. Maybe that will give Mookie pause to re-evaluate whether he really wants to hit free agency or not.
-
Most people said the same thing about Price when we were getting ready to sign him, that he is a pitcher that would age well. The second year into the contract and he was dealing with some serious elbow issues. He seems to have overcome that with his 'magic, self-healing elbow', but who knows for sure? Bottom line: Those huge, long term contracts are just too risky.
-
IMO, if those others don't deserve to go this year, then they don't deserve to make it later.
-
Again, this is all part of the reason why the voting for HOF is whack.
-
That is a pretty messed up rule.
-
Everything you're saying here is part of the problem with the HOF voting. IMO, the players who get in the HOF should be no brainers. Therefore, if the group of voters this year doesn't think someone's good enough to get in, then they shouldn't get in. If they vote against someone because they don't like that player, then that's a whole other problem. I'll say it again with all sincerity. Let the stat geeks vote.
-
Fair post, Mr. Bellhorn.
-
My thing is, why does any player need to be on the ballot more than one year? When a player becomes eligible, he's either voted in or he's done. How is a player not good enough to be in the HOF for the first 5 years of eligibility, then is suddenly good enough in his 6th year? What has changed?
-
I am in agreement with your posts about relievers and closers. You get the Kimmi Seal of Approval.
-
"Cheaping out" on the back end of the bullpen is not necessarily the same thing as downgrading the quality. A Kimbrel level closer can be found for a much lesser price.
-
Possibly. But Mookie cannot win a championship by himself.
-
Would losing Mookie create more of a cliff than tying $300+ million up in a single player would?
-
LOL Cool story. It seems like a lot of baseball players' wives are sports reporters.
-
This disappoints me. The people that are being cut out probably need the money a lot more than the players do. OTOH, Brian Johnson used his share to pay off his dad's mortgage. Well done.
