Agreed. ‘26 & ‘27 might be special, too.
-
To each his own. Those seasons have some meaning. Let's call it one ring and move on.
-
That's gonna leave a mark!
-
2020 does not count.
-
You remind me of someone who can't even admit to a simple mistake.
-
Wong & EValdez for Torres?
-
I want an ace and a number 2. If Monty outpitches Burnes, we'll be in great shape.
-
Let's get both and see who does better!
-
Yankees claim Jeter Downs off waivers. See, I told you they were in decline.

Okay, yes, Betts and Bogey- two 23 year olds with the sky as the limit, but the foundation around them was in shambles. JBJ was about to step in, but Papi was one year away from retiring, and it took a lot of trades and FA signings for DD to fill all the holes on the 2015 team. These were the leading PA players ate each position: C- Swihart .712 1B- Napoli .693 2B- Pedey .797 SS- Bogey .776 3B- Pablito .658 LF- HRam .717 (had best year in BOS in DD's first season) CF- Betts .820 RF- Castillo .647 DH- Papi .913 (actually got better in 2016, before retiring.) UT- Holt .727 (505 PAs was 3rd on team) OF JBJ .832 (255 PAs) 1B- TShaw .813 (248) C2- Hanigan .664 GS 32 Miley 4.46 28 Porcello 4.92 (about to win Cy Young) 25 Kelly 4.82 (moved to pen) 21 ERod 3.85 18 Buccholz 3.26 11 Owens 4.57, 9 Wright 4.09, 9 Masterson 5.61 Pen 40 year old Uehara (40 IP) IP 65 Ogando 61 R Ross 59 Tazawa 56 Breslow 48 Layne 33 Barnes 25 Hembree I see a hell of a lot of major holes on that team. This team may not have Betts, Bogey, JBJ and Pedey, but I see less major holes.

Like how adding Pablo and Hram paved the way for Price to choose Boston. (Just yanking your chain. I agree 100%.)
-
Defense is the given. I didn't think it needed to be stated. Our bats are lefty heavy. I'd prefer a RH'd bat with some power, if possible.
-
Montgomery & Barnes would be a Homer.
-
I know the guy has some nasty stuff and has shown the ability to control it. I don't think 2021 was a fluke.
-
Hard to believe any reports, these days.
-
Maybe. Maybe a serious injury factors into it, as well. (Not to mention a role change.)
-
I'd be happy with that, but we'd be under the cap by enough to get a 2Bman. Why not? (Maybe include EValdez in a trade.)
-
100%. Remember, I'm the guy who wants 3 quality SP'ers over anything else. It won't happen, so yes, get two major quality SP'ers and if anything is left over, get a 2B who can hit lefties well.
-
I figured Burnes was better than Monty, and that evened up the drop from Polanco to Merrifield. I would prefer Polanco to Merrifield, for sure, but trading for Burnes and Polanco might be too much of a hit on the farm. The budget would likely come under the tax line. It seems we should go over the tax line and get the best we can with the money and save the prospects for one key move. Trading more prospects and staying under the tax line makes little sense to me. JH might think differently, and maybe he holds off for a major splurge after 2024, but again, I'll ask... How Soon Is Now?
-
Or call it unlucky he wasn't the same in '22 and '23.
-
Weren't the Sale, ERod (COVID), Nate, Story and other injuries major factors in our poor records from 2020-2023?
-
Wow! Those 2013 additions looked fantastic, at the time... NOT! (Did anyone expect them to do what AGon, Beckett and CC were expected to do in 2013?) The win totals from '12-'15 were almost identical to "20-'23. The great "JH era" was actually from 2003-2011 and '2016-2018. One could count 2019 and 2012, as hopes were high before the season started. (Hopes were not high before 2021, so in that sense, 2020-2023 was worse, I guess.)
-
While lacking in big splash moves, the Royals have sure made some significant additions, recently. Maybe more quantity than quality, and we saw how that worked for Bloom, but when you were as bad as KC was, this looks like nice step forward: Wacha Lugo Will Smith Renfroe Chris Stratton
-
I remember thinking, at the time of the Price signing, that no pitcher has looked like a surer bet than he was. I liked Scherzer, the year before, and I'm not talking hindsight, but I felt like the market was better the following year for SP'ers. It made sense, to me, in theory as a two year rebuild plan to go O in '15 and Pitching in '16. We failed, miserably on all 3 signings: Pablito, HRam & Price. Now, the late '22 and 2023-2024 looks like Story, Yoshi and ______. Yikes!

I'd be happy with Monty, Imanaga and Polanco, or Burnes, Imanaga and Merrifield.
