    Noah Song to pitch in 2022? https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/red-sox/red-sox-prospect-noah-song-could-resume-career-2022-heres-why-matters?cid=sm_npd_rsn_bos_fb_mn&fbclid=IwAR0vRU1j2ML_yILo5uklf-8HvqD5ZA3R-IGCdeGpNsSfVeMJ59GHp8IaoMk

    MLBTR reports Dodgers are interested in Luis Castillo and Sonny Gray.
  3. moonslav59
    If I disagree, am I no longer a "smart brother?"
  4. moonslav59
    Yes, and who is downplaying the 2018 season or the 3 consecutive division wins? We "don't care for" those seasons?
  5. moonslav59
    I looked like that, but as the rest of HRam's career went, it looked like the right choice.
  6. moonslav59
    First of all, the "dead money" HRam gave DD a 2.6 bWAR in 2016 and 2.4 overall under DD. (3.0 fWAR in 2016 and 2.3 overall). He was a negative under Ben and a plus under DD. Second, the Pedey money should be considered dead money, but it's hard to blame any GM for what Machado did. The criticism is fair, though. Funny how Pabloe has been a plus bWAR since leaving Boston.

    More amazing is the team's record in his starts: 13-8 2015 8-12 2016 13-11 2017 34-31 first 3 seasons in MLB is not all that bad. But, then this... 19-4 2018 26-8 2019 19-12 2021 That's 64-24 in his last 3 seasons-- a .727 winning percentage! I don't think any ML pitcher has a better team winning & since 2018. Career: 98-55 (.641)
  8. moonslav59
    While true, how much of this was "dead money" and how much of this was passed on to 2020?
  9. moonslav59
    One of my claims that proved to not come true was that drafting low and having penalties due to cheating, winning and over-spending, it would be hard for DD to draft well and acquire good IFAs. DD did very well on the former, considering having bad picks.
  10. moonslav59
    While all of this is true, Ben did spend a lot of money and ended up spending about as much as DD upon inheriting a pretty good team and so-so farm. He ended up trading many stars, and it worked.

    Updated GM Scoreboard: $10M+ Free Agent Contracts: Ben: $95M Pablo $88M HRam ($73M Castillo) ($63M Moncada) $39M Vic $32M Napoli $26M Ortiz $18M Koji $13M Dempster (retired leaving another $13M on the table) $10M S Drew DD: $217M Price $110M JD $68M Eovaldi $13M C Young $13M Moreland Bloom: $14M Kike $10M Richards Other notable signings/additions: Ben: Pedroia- $90M (extension) Porcello- $83M/4 (extension) DD: Kimbrel- $42M/4 (traded for CK) C Sale $33M/5 (traded for CS) $145M/5 C Sale (extension) $120M/6 Bogey (extension- actually $60M/3 w optout) Bloom: $19M: Barnes (extension) Am I still missing anyone major? Ben: About 4 years as GM- 1 ring (1- 1st place/ 3 last place) DD: About 4 years as GM- 1 ring (3- 1st place) Bloom: About 2 years as GM, including the 60 game season (0 rings and 1st place finishes)
  12. moonslav59
    Yes, I left those off. Looks like the tally is pretty close. The main differences were: 1.Top Free Agent signings (amount and ROI) 2. Quantity of prospects traded
  13. moonslav59
    Blooming Bloom.
  14. moonslav59
    Spending $18M on 180 innings for ERod will likely do more than spending $6M on 3 RP'ers who might pitch well enough to give 60 IP each.
  15. moonslav59
    It probably is pretty close, and if you count contracts traded for, maybe DD takes the lead.
  16. moonslav59
    Ooops!
  17. moonslav59
    It's really not as bad as many make it out to be, if he plays, but I think the deal goes to the year 3030.
  18. moonslav59
    He traded Iggy & Montas for Jake Peavy. He traded 3 prospects for Wade Miley. (Later, he traded Miley and prospect Aro for Carson Smith and Elias.) He traded a young Reddick and prospects for Andrew Bailey He traded Lowrie (not young) and Weiland for Melancon. He traded prospects for Holt & Hanrahan. The highly ranked Lars Anderson for Steven Wright. Luis Ortega for Burke Badenhop. Ranaudo for Robbie Ross
  19. moonslav59
    Good one. Maybe I'm trying to forget.
  20. moonslav59
    He's in the meat of prime in '22. He hit .939 in '19- his last full & healthy season. He was at 1.002 on May 22nd, this year. (.957 in mid June before the wrist started bothering him.) It is doubtful he hit's over 1.000 or 1.100, but a better chance than you running into CH, unless you stalk her. BTW, Lindor has never been over .871. Correa has been over .900, twice- once with just 481 PAs and the other with 321.
  21. moonslav59
    I'm convinced Ben was primed to make some trades, but I doubt at DD's level. He may have traded for Sale but not Sale & Kimbrel, IMO. The roster was so deep and loaded, he'd have had to DFA some very talented players.
  22. moonslav59
    More on 2 biggest contracts. Ben spread it out.
  23. moonslav59
    100% no way? (I said "might.")
  24. moonslav59
    It's possible he hits 1.100, next year and gets Lindor money/
  25. moonslav59
    He will be 30, next winter. Lindor's contract ($340M/10) starts in 2022, when he is 28. I'm not saying just because he got that much, Bogey will get $300M/8, which would bring him to the same final age on the last year of their deals, but I do think Bogey will get a 7-8 year deal from someone. It's usually those extra years that win the auction. I'd give Bogey $27-28M x 6, but I think it will take more than that on the open market. Yes, the 2022 season is a bit of a wildcard, and if Bogey struggles (not likely) or gets hurt, maybe the whole equation changes. Maybe most GMs view him as a future 3Bman or 2Bman and won't pay top SS money. I'm no expert on projecting contract, but I'm guessing $28M x 6 won't get him to extend.
