    yup. i think i starting saying it during his mvp season and also last year. we would have actually gotten a better deal if we did that. that chance has unfortunately passed so now we get to throw numbers at each other.

    hahaha. sort of. it is not going out on a limb to say that mookie will decline in performance the later portion of his contract. Jacksonianmarch and i agree that Mookie should be traded now. where we do not agree is where we want mookie to play next year (and the 9-11 years that follow).

    right? i had it so backwards i was paying to play! my speed had fallen off so much that it was like i was skating in mud compared to the 20 year olds on the ice and my shifts got shorter and shorter.....

    to use WAR i would expect him to go from a 7 WAR player years1-5 of the contract to a 3 WAR player the years 6-8 and a 1-2 WAR player the final 2-4 years (dependent on 10 or 12 year contract) i dont know if that qualifies as "crater" but i would expect the contract to be an overpay from year 6 on..... NOTE: i am for reseting LT in 2020 in order to give Betts the obscene contract he is looking for.

    my evidence: when i was 35 i could not run as fast as when i was 25 35 coincidentally was when i quit playing competitive mens league hockey

    feel free. do you feel mookies game and WAR stats are greatly increased by the speed/quickness he possesses? or do you think his game is built on strength and power? one of those combinations usually lasts much longer then the other. also hand eye coordination is diminished bigly as you age. there is a reason the greatest over 34yo player to ever play baseball in the history of baseball playing was playing during pre 2004 rules......

    mookie is 5'9" / 170 pounds. his fast twitch / speed will not carry well into his mid 30's unless we can turn back the clock to pre 2004.

    based on X-bo's IG feed....the sox young core seem to like mitch.
  9. Slasher9
    this all may in fact be happening. who knows?
  10. Slasher9
    maxbialystock is back. we dont always agree but it is good to see his posts again.
  11. Slasher9
    X-bo is excited to have Mitchy Poo back. gave a shout out to the signing on IG. and he hasnt really done that in the past with any other signings/additions.

    this post is gold.
  14. Slasher9
    many of us have been saying this for a couple years.
  15. Slasher9
    easy: punchable face. his face screams "punch me"
  16. Slasher9
    $350/10 is what it will take. we could have had him locked up for less AAV if we had done the blank contract 2 years ago like i wanted to do.

    isnt that what dice K's secret pitch was called before he got to our shores?
  21. Slasher9
    Jhostynxon might be the coolest name ever. i cant even figure out how to say it.
  22. Slasher9
    bring back Orsillo!
  23. Slasher9
    as you are a season ticket holder your thoughts on this have true meaning. that said, lester was never on record saying he will absolutely be going to FA and looking for Trout money. i dont think we can compare the lester and mookie situations. lester wanted to feel loved by boston FO and sign a fair contract extension prior to becoming a FA. Mookie is adamant to go to FA and sign the biggest contract po$$ible.

    fake news!
