I'm sure Kimbrel will help the bullpen. I just don't think it will be as big a boost as the cost of prospects warranted, that's all. If DD could've added a MLB ready player like Swihart or JBJ to get a starter, I'd be thrilled. And considering how every other post since June has been "We need two starters", I'm surprised so many get their skirts blown up by this trade.
-
Yeah, THAT'S never happened here before. Tell us, how do you feel about Hanley? We're dying to know....
-
His WHIP has also risen every season since 2012. Ben Badler @BenBadler The Padres got better prospects for Craig Kimbrel than the ones they gave the Braves for him in April. Great trade for San Diego.
-
Yes, I'm sure it was that and not the fact that the Phillies played .500 or worse for the last four years. Jesus...

You'll probably have to post that 15 or 20 more times, before the more dense members of the group finally absorb it....

Ok. I'm positive that if Koji was in desperate need of being replaced at the closer role, then he's not going to fare a whole lot better in a more demanding 8th inning role. Which debunks the "we strengthened the pen, because Koji and Taz can move down an inning". I'm also positive that, while Kimbral is a nice get, the Sox overpaid. I'd rather they overpay for a starter. Kinmbrals numbers last year, while still good, were down, in a pitchers park. Let's hope Fenway isn't even tougher on him. If so, all this "positivity" will be gone by May.

LOL That's rich. You put everyone you can't bully on ignore. THAT'S thin-skinned.

Know what else is f***ed up? Reading comprehension skills on this board.

Which makes the 13 mil a reasonable risk and makes him a tradeable commodity.
-
In 2013 he pitched like an ace for half the season. So what, for either season. It's not 2013 or 2014 any longer.
-
The problem is, if he's healthy, Buchholz is a waste of talent in the pen. Run him out there every 5th day and if he can't finish the majority of the season without an injury, cut him loose at the end of the year.

It probably hurt him some. But, he had quite a few games where he struggled defensively. He'll make a good trading chip this off season. Keep Vazquez and Hanigan. -
Your dad sounds like a heck of a guy. He must have felt horrible about dropping you on your head as a child.
-
Congrats to both of you. Tough jobs with not enough rewards or recognition.
-
Good choice. I sincerely hope you're one of the good ones. I just hope it's not gym teacher. They don't seem to garner much respect around here.
-
I haven't been able to figure why all the geniuses here aren't in a MLB front office somewhere....
-
Actually, I think anyone who works hard to excel at their job deserves respect and admiration. Doesn't matter to me if they're a ditch digger or a CEO. There a lot of great teachers out there that don't get the recognition they deserve. That doesn't mean someone that's in the public eye doesn't deserve it, because they make a lot of money or are well known. It's not that difficult a concept. What wonderful things does your job contribute to society?
-
I'm just glad I'm not cynical enough where I view hard work and sacrifice as nothing "special".
-
Yeah, it's not like those jobs require a lot of hard work or anything, to be successful.

"Cherington has decided to back away – at least for a while – from any full-time baseball jobs. He, for example, declined a chance to interview for the GM openings with the Mariners and Phillies, though he was perceived as a strong candidate for both. Instead, he accepted a teaching position in Columbia University’s sports management program for the spring semester. Cherington is expected to try to re-enter a front office at some point. Joel Sherman obviously didn't talk to the folks that know BC best, a couple of posters here. Joel would then know that BC is: A. A fool and B. Realizing he's not competent enough to to work in a front office.

"now those Cubs bandwagon fans are no where to be found" "Mets are going to win the World Series, might not be the Yankees, but seeing my fellow NY brothers win is nice." Any one else see the irony in those two statements?
-
That would be fun to watch! As good as the divisional series were, the championship series are a let down. Hopefully, the Cubs can liven things up a little.

How would not jumping at the first job offered "disqualify" him from future positions? The guy is 41. It's not like club owner are going to think the game has passed him by, if he takes a year or two off. Way too many people try to equate life in MLB with their own jobs. It's a poor comparison. -

You really have to wonder? I don't....
