Maybe CCs numbers were better
-
It would be close: Ellsbury, Tex, ARod2, CC 2, plus some big money guys they trades for and who flopped
-
Someone will take BJ.
-
I'm fine with Blyleven being in, but it's for longevity- mostly. I'm not big on the value of Ks over other types of outs, but Bert was dominant for a short time and also very good for a long time. Giving 2 decades to your team certainly has value as does 8-10 years of total dominance- like Pedro. The problems arise when everyone has their own criteria or bias, and then they point to someone in HOF who has worse numbers than your guy.
-
What if Blyleven was 5th in Ks and also 5th in BBs? Would he still belong?
-
The thumbs up or down feature is hard to value. Does a Sox fan give a thumbs up because it's good for them, or is thumbs up for thinking both sides do well.
-
There's like a thousand different criteria for getting in.
-
There are players in the HOF that don't deserve it. If we use Baines as the comp the Hall would be tripled in numbers.
-
I saw your Brian Johnson for Bird deal proposal. Sounds possible.
-
Just a note, I was just trying to come up with an even trade that allowed us to dump Price and get a decent defensive CFer.
-
I agree. I also think Schilling is borderline.
-
I guess I must be uncommon, then. (BTW, the "overpay" was not just about giving 4 prospects for a RP'er. It was also about him being paid like a FA closer, at the time.)
-
That only happens when going over the $40M line. We should be able to avoid that. I know it's not "our money," but paying 50% tax on $39.9M is a lot of money. I think it matters to Henry. I also think Henry does not want his legacy to be remembered as "buying rings." (Just my opinions.)
-
Okay, I guess I should never say everyone, but very close to everyone did say they were overpays to some extent. "Necessary," "Worth it," or "Maybe could have done it without adding Allen" were common opinions, at the time.
-
I think the big issue is if we end up going way over on the 3rd year. Resetting would greatly lessen that tax.
-
I'd throw in some cash or take on Garrett Richards' contract. (Maybe we get Kinsler back.)
-
You'll like this one better: To SDP: Price, JBJ & Walden To BOS: Myers & Margot
-
Rumor has it, Chatham & Johnson for Torres.
-
That may be true, but there are plenty of examples of "overpay" in winter trades. We all agreed, the Sale and Kimbrel deals were "big overpays," despite many here liking one or both of the trades.
-
Shows just how silly the whole thing is. Maybe we could throw in $40M and get a nice prospect, too.
-
You'll love this one: To SDP: Betts, Price & Eovaldi To BOS: Quantrill, Margot & Myers (The trade simulator says we may have to kick in $1.5M.)
-
Thanks for pointing that out. (Sorry, harmony.)
-
Us Sox fans are grateful, too.
-
Hey, you gave me the link to the silly site. The deal I put together is near even.
-
This deal would be to shed contract money. It is not intended to be an even talent trade. In theory, the money saved could be used to sign Shane Victorino, Mike Napoli, errr.... wait a minute....
