  1. Certainly, no. However, we did get where are now without most is these guys.
  2. Maybe cause they aren’t as good, too.
  3. I’d say very much so. We can be pretty sure a few high spending teams would have spent more- maybe much more. I’m not sure how much poorer teams have gained.

  5. If it was just up to Bloom and Henry, maybe. My guess, there will be some sort of penalty for spending big.
  6. One year out of 4. Who’s fault was it the other 3?
  7. Not replacing scouts is still the GMs choice. I wasn’t aware only Rays personnel are worthy.
  8. Best starter use for WC games are not automatic.
  9. We are likely to get the big push all around the same time (Aug 10-25): Sale Schwarber Sawamura Arroyo Marwin DHern Plus, Houck before Aug 10.
  10. Also, it’s not like Aldo was a chump, and we have 6 Aldos. We still need to build up farm quality and depth.
  11. Yes, and lining up the tax future was a factor.
  12. The Rays not getting Glasgow back will hurt. When is Severino due back with the Yanks?
  13. Who hires and fires scouts?
  14. I was actually pleasantly surprised by how several DD picks have turned out. I expected worse due in part to low draft picks and that season with IFA signing ban. All in all, DD did horrible with IFA’s, an area we had started doing well in under Theo and Ben. Our farm got better faster than I expected, but it was helped by the Betts and 2020 deadline sell off, and we are still just middle tier thanks to this year’s high pick draft.
  15. Thanks, Dave.
  16. Thanks, Dave.
  17. tough situation, here. Of course I want the Sox to win, but if Richards does well, we may start him again. I want him gone. Can we win 20-17?
  18. You seem to get about your share of snake bites like Cole and Urshela, but when added to the non snake bites ILs, it seems like overkill.
  19. I agree, but I do think teams are more likely to go all in near the middle or end of their window and not near the start of one, which is where we are, right now.
  20. 110 games is still rather small but is significant. That doesn’t mean luck still plays no role. Or yes.
  21. I predict we win the ALE and lose to Houston in the ALDS or ALCS, but will beat the CWS, if we face them first. WC winners will be TBR and OAK. Yanks spent a chunk of their farm and miss out. Cashman and Boone get canned, which is bad news for the Sox.
  22. Do you think JD will have an OPS+ of 140 over the length of his next contract? (I hope we keep JD, but replacing this JD with the next JD is not a sideways move either.)
  23. Is it always snake bites, when this happens every year? Or is it the types of players Cashman acquires over and over?
  24. It's a relevant point, and shows why it can never be proven. That's the point.
