Tiny sample size. He had those numbers early in the year,m and I heard the same thing. Some even wanted to demote him. Don't read too much into simple slumps.

DD Fired. Big Ppi on Hand. Coincidence?

Would you want him back? -

Ben is available, isn't he? -
I agree. I was just wondering who was doing the thinking. Looks like my suggestion that we will reset after 2020 or 2021 is looking correct.
-
Ask yourself why mess with success?
-
You could trade Dalbec for a good young 1Bman.
-
If that's what they said (doubtful) and this has nothing to do with my response about restgate.
-
It's crazy to think we won't have a reset. We have some role players on the farm but nothing that will give us a boost.
-
Who are the "thinking Sox?" Henry? We have no GM. I'm hoping that if we do decide to trade Betts this winter, we make a push at signing him after 2020. If we trade Betts, we might as well trade JBJ, and maybe even ERod, Workman and Barnes. Build up the farm. Keep a core of Bogey, Devers, Beni, Vaz and out of necessity, Sale, Price and E-o. Maybe look to spend again for 2021, but only players that look to have long term impact, or waiting until 2022 might also make sense.
-
Sounds about right, although you never really mentioned Chavis as having a role at starting or platoon 1B or 2B- just later as an IF'er.
-
What happened on that very first day of ST'ing, before any games even started?
-
I happen to think the idea of giving the SP'er a little extra rest in spring made sense. They are aging, injury prone and came off a long playoff season with extra innings pitched. My hope was, we might suffer a little in April but more than make up for it later in the year, when we needed them most. I think most baseball people think resting players a little more helps them later in the season. The fact that it did nt, in this case, proves nothing. One sample size proves nothing. Sure, it can be used as evidence to support the opinion that it was a bad idea, but nothing can be proven. There are countless reasons why we sucked out of the gate. We've sucked in April before and gone on to have good to great seasons. Who know why that didn't happen this year. My guess is there are over a dozen reasons all lined up against us, this year.
-
No, I didn't see the fire and desire, but I'm not about to blame it on Bogey getting 4 less ABs in spring, or that a lot of players getting 4-10 less ABs of 4-10 less IP as the big attitude changer. Maybe, and I stress the word maybe, it played a very small, and I stress the word very, role in the lack of fire & desire. That's my opinion, and you guys can go to town with yours, but it's all total speculation by all of us.
-
...and Workman and Barnes.
-
This plan will likely put us over the $40M line, assuming we get a decent SP'er, RP'r and pay JBJ $10-11M. Maybe we can stay just under to avoid the penalties in the draft slots.
-
I'm not sure anyone else will offer him 10-12 years, and I know the risk of these long term deals, but going longer than anyone else may help us keep him and lower the AVV.
-
Did the extra rest Moreland got cause the injury?
-
I'd go $300M/10- maybe a little more, if we can lower the AVV- like $320M/12.
-
Yes, the attitudes changed because Bogey got 4 less ABs, and the whole team saw that it was a kick-back season. This stuff cracks me up. The reaching for any excuse is laughable.
-
Because we will be adding multiple year FA contracts to get good ones, drafting low and having restricted IFA pools for 2 more years. each draft affects more than just one year into the future, especially when you draft HS players often. We won't get a good closer on a 1-2 year deal.
-
My worry is that by putting it off 2 years, we may hurt the farm for 3-5 years. If each year we wait we add 2-3 years to the rebuild, is it worth it? (Not saying the math is correct, just a hypothetical.)
-
It's all that extra weight on his body type.
-
You said it in a lot less words than I ever did.
-
I can see this. I do think he had hope we wouldn't be the worst farm after 3 years.
-
He saw the writing late, then, because he wouldn't have extended Sale had he known we'd reset after 2019.
