I don't see anyway we stay highly competitive for 5+ years, unless Henry goes over the max line several times, even considerably over. I guess it could happen, but I seriously doubt it. Within today's system, it is hard to rebuild your farm by finishing 81-81 3 years in a row, even if you stay under the first tax line.

The Twinkies even turned a triple play!
-
Exactly! I responded that he's also the cheapest starter in the rotation, is under team control for several years and we're heading for a nasty roster/budget crunch at some point.
-
Nice to see all the Jacks, but Devers' dbl was the nicest hit of the game. ERod da man! Eovaldi even got his feet wet...in doo-doo, but hey, he's back!
-
I saw the Sox opener there- the year of the closer-by-committee. I actually thought the stadium was okay.
-
We know why, right? Jacko just said the Twins were their bitches!
-
Who was the clown who wanted to trade ERod a while back?

The Guardians are hot, but imagine if we were two up in the wild card race and had these numbers. Would we still have so many posters giving up? Top players by PAs this year PA Rank PA Player OPS 2. 405 Ramirez .694 4. 342 Bauers .707 5. 326 Kipnis .668 7. 264 Martin .619 11. 117 C Gonzalez .558 12. 111 Plawecki .622 Kluber & Carrasco on the IL.

Past the deadline?

The Starting Rotation Performance Thread

Maybe Leon can help him with his approach. ERA in 2019 with... Leon 4.12 Vaz 7.96 Swi 13.50 Career: 4.13 w Leon 4.88 w Vaz 4.93 w Swi He may also just need some time off to regroup. -
They are praising him for the present team, farm and future outlook. Plus, he has some budget space to work with both this year and going forward. Nobody is praising him for past accomplishments, except maybe a few Yankee fans.

We will likely have precious dollars to spend, and while we do have a strong core of players, assuming our rotation rebounds, we will have these holes to fill: 1B or 2B (Whichever Chavis is not playing.) 2B or 1B (If Chavis flops.) DH (If JD opts out) SP5 SP4 (If Eovaldi is not himself.) Closer Set-up 1 Set-up 2 Set up 4 (Assuming Workman is the 3) Set up 6 (Assuming Barnes is the 5) SP 6 All this needs to be filled with two dollars and fifty-nine cents!

Why are we still looking at big ticket starters ?

Price is close. Sale has exceeded his pay so far... by a long shot. Porcello earned the money Ben paid him. Eovaldi cost us pennies last year. This year is another story, but overall, he has about earned his 2018-2019 salary combined. -
Sad, but it might be our best hope. There's a better chance they mop up on our closest contenders than we go on a sustained tear.

Next 14 games: @TBR ERod @TBR Sale @TBR Price NYY Porcello NYY Cashner NYY ERod NYY Sale TBR Price (Trade deadline before next game) TBR Porcello TBR Casner @NYY ERod @NYY Sale/ @NYY Johnson ? @NYY Price 6 of our 8 games before the trade deadline are with ERod, Sale & Price. It's now or never.

Eovaldi & Workman and Barnes in any other given year.

Yes, and JBJ was AAAA back then and better than many CF'ers on defense back in 2012.
-
I've said all along I was fine with DD's plan. I enjoyed the success and enjoyment, and it was worth it. We do have a nice core of young players, but let's not kid ourselves. This team has serious issues going forward: financial and with the poor farm system in an era where it is very difficult to rebuild the farm while winning and being a high spender at the same time. I expected a cliff, and it is quickly coming upon us. We can choose to try and stay pretty competitive for the remainder of this year and maybe next by spending large and wishing our vets bounce back, but sooner or later, we pay the piper.
-
I think JBJ was better at defense when I saw him in Portland back in 2012 than he is now. Just my opinion.
-
I fear he may be the next Middlebrooks, but I agree with you. We have to hold onto any semblance of young and team controlled talent. This whole trade the future for the now is what got us in this mess.

The Starting Rotation Performance Thread

Things can change. Hopefully, Price will begin to go longer in games. He has been very good this year. Sale has been a top 3 MLB pitcher for 5+ years; he can regain form. Porcello has had bad stretches before and bounced back. It could happen, but I'm not too optimistic with him. ERod has always had nasty stuff. He's a winner. We hardly ever lose when he pitches. No doubt, they have sucked this year, for the most part, but all hope is not lost. -
So, all the great ML defenders skipped AAA, I guess. Yes, I have been to minor league games. I've seen some great fielders, including JBJ way back when. In a sense, we replaced Ellsbury with a AAAA player that many felt should have been DFA'd a number of times, and now we see offense taken at the mere thought that a minor leaguer may be better at defense than JBJ.
