    In the end, I think the Sox will find a taker for a package of Price & Betts for, well, anybody, and we'll have our salary relief. But we will probably be stuck with Sale for a while.

    It doesn't need to stop for other teams. Just the Red Sox.

    The Yankees and Red Sox have both made some really bad signings over the years. We should do a comparison. Off the top of my head, the Yankees got Kevin Brown and Randy Johnson well past their primes, and of course the Red Sox extended Beckett when they shouldn't have, and probably Sale. Ellsbury was a horrific signing, so was Carl Crawford. I just wish the madness would stop and the Sox would stop wasting money.

    I thought they were clearly nuts at the time, and that opinion hasn't changed.

    The only ex-Sox players I wouldn't mind are Rich Hill and Wade Miley.

    I think he exists just so we can joke about Wins Above Gorkys.

    I missed hearing about the result of Sale's meeting with Dr. Andrews. Can someone fill me in?

    On the very low chance that Pedroia can DH a significant amount of games, we can worry about where to put JD.

    1997 Randy Johnson regular season: 213 IP, 20-4 record, 2.28 ERA Randy Johnson postseason: 13 IP, 0-2 record, 5.54 ERA I think Randy was just tired from a long season. Of course, on the flipside opposing him Mike Mussina regular season: 224.2 IP, 15-8 record, 3.20 ERA Mike Mussina postseason: 29 IP, 2-0 record, 1.24 ERA He peaked in the playoffs.

    I hope they at least try, because putting JD at first solves so many problems. If he's squeezed out of DH by Pedroia, they'll be tempted to put him in left field with Beni switching to center. And then we still don't have a first baseman.

    Also, the playoffs go from 8 pm EST to midnight. Too late and too long. Hopefully the 3 batter minimum helps with the length, but the games still need to start at a reasonable hour. Games shouldn't go past 10 pm.

    I just read an article about Dustin Pedroia. The Sox are hoping he can play 80-110 games as the DH. They have no plans to play Dustin in the field. Hopefully this means that, finally, JD will learn first base.

    Excellent point. Let the competition begin!

    Even if Pedey is on the field, he'll be a ghost of his former self. Sorry for the buzzkill.

    Machado and Harper are two of the most overvalued players I have ever seen. They are NOT $30 million per year talents. If they are worth $30 million a year, then Betts is worth at least $45 million.

    Just reading up on it here: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/shoulder-tendonitis

    I'm fairly confident Price & Eovaldi will continue to mix periods of effectiveness in with their ongoing injuries. Sale I'm most worried about. E-Rod is the clear leader of the rotation now.
  18. kenmeister
    I'm not sure where you guys are getting your optimism from. Of course I hope you are right.
  19. kenmeister
    Carney Lansford, right. I remember now. Interesting stats there about he did better in the majors than the minors.
  20. kenmeister
    I love comparisons like this. So what idiot left Boggs in the minors for so long?
  21. kenmeister
    Exactly.
  22. kenmeister
    I see 3 outcomes: 1. Sale is healthy. Yay! 2. Sale is said to "need rest but should be ready by spring training" which means he'll get Tommy John surgery in late March / early April. (Cynicism!) 3. Sale gets Tommy John surgery now.
  23. kenmeister
    Great point! He would have made a huge difference had he been healthy and not suspended. 4-5 days until we find out whether Sale has a hope of playing in 2020 ... (And I agree with the other guy who said take the Jeter talk off to another thread.)
  24. kenmeister
    It's a shame that Johnson & Velazquez didn't pan out.
  25. kenmeister
    Ah, I see. I'll stick with my Wade Miley idea.
