I understand that their are times when shelling out a big contract is necessary. That said, I don't think I will every be on board with the Stanton type contracts. Dombrowski's first and biggest mistake was depleting our farm.
-
Well, I don't think anyone here has anything to worry about. Dombrowski will make a splash with a big bat.
-
I think it boils down to Dombrowski wanting his own guy and Dombrowski making rash decisions.
-
Hanley!!!
-
Like many others, I really like Cora.
-
This is a bunch of hogwash and speculation. It's much like that chicken and beer fiasco, which would have gone unnoticed if the team hadn't collapsed.
-
Not necessarily, but it's not just about this year. It's also about the long term contracts that would keep them over the luxury tax limit for consecutive years, thereby raising the penalties to unfavorable amounts.
-
One word - enigma.
-
They are going to go over the luxury tax threshold. They are not going to spend like drunken sailors.
-
I just don't get some people's willingness to part with Beni so readily.
-
Dombrowski is no Theo, that's for sure.
-
Post of the year right here folks.

Well the plan is that Dombrowski is going to bring in a manager that will get the youngsters (and the vets) to play up to their expectations. Add a bat to 1B/DH, add a #2 starting pitcher, throw in the positive regression from the current players, and we are good to go!

The Sox can spend more than that, but the reality is that they won't. It's not my money, but spending crazy will affect what the team can do in the future. And that, I care about. You saw the financial constraints the Sox were under this year. Much of that was due to big contracts that didn't pan out. So yeah, it would be great to have Stanton on our team. Until he can't play anymore and the Sox can't sign the next Encarnacion type player because of budget restraints. They might be self-imposed budget restraints, but they are very real.

Astros 10/9, ALDS game 4

Umpires have a much larger effect on the outcome of games than managers do. -
OK, but now you've already changed the wording in statement #2 and #3. And it's still not what people like myself are arguing.
-
Definitely. That seems to be a popular defense around here.
-
The offseason doesn't matter?
-
The move doesn't surprise me one bit. Not that I in any way feel that Farrell should have been fired.
-
That's it in a nutshell. Plus, this FO has been known to make rash decisions.
-
Good game going on in Chicago! And IMO, Baker is one of the worst managers in baseball.

4 months from now. Who will we not see in Ft Myers?

Ortiz might make a good manager one day, but right now, he is not far enough removed as a player to be a manager. -
Any time you're talking 10 years in a contract, it's unreasonable. I would much rather sign Martinez than Stanton. I'd actually be okay going status quo with the offense and bringing in another #2 starter.

Speier is the man.
