    BD was on my list.

    While true, he had some great years before and after 2013.
  3. moonslav59
    I was going to mention him but felt he was not "under the radar."

    She'll be travelling Mon-Thur and may not have to be in the NYC office most Fridays. They offered to pay the difference in flight cost to Houston, if she wants to come home for a 3 day weekend. She won't have a car. (Not sure about her boy friend.) She'll have an expense account Mon-Thur, so I'm not sure the high cost of living there will be a big burden.

    Well, she'll be making close to the same my wife and I made combined in her first year,

    Nietzche was a doer.

    Bloom is no Nietzsche.

    Brought back some memories. The Pilots moved to Milwaukee when I lived there. Tommy Harper was my favorite player, and when the Brewers traded him to Boston, I became a Sox fan.

    Greenwell bugged the s*** out of me. Of this list, I like Valantin & Mueller. I'd add Naehring, Nava, Easler, Cecil Cooper, Daubach, Esasky, Reggie Smith, Ellis Burks, Troy O'Leary, Reggie Jefferson, Tom Brunansky, Carlos Quintana, Orlando Cepeda, Marty Barret, Luis Aparicio Bill Lee, Roger Moret, Oil Can Boyd, Tom Gordon, Tim Wakefield, ERod

    I threw this one against the wall on the simulator site and got 8 likes to 2 dislikes. (It's hard to know if the likes are Sox or Dodger fans.) Betts, Price & $3M for Pollock, Maeda & Downs The money? Sox get: Pollock ($17M x 3 avg/ Lux $12M) Maeda ($3.1 x 4/ Lux $3.1) Total: $20.1M (+$1M we pay LAD x 3 yrs)= $21.1 LA gets: Price ($32M x 3/Lux $31M) Betts (~$28M/1) $3M cash (3 x 1) Total: $60M (-$1M x 3 yrs)= $59M We save $38M in 2020 and $43M on Lux tax. (In reality, the Dodgers would probably demand more money, but if you subtract Pollock from Price, they are basically getting Ptice for $15M x 3 years, so maybe not.)

    The guy was so damn good, though. (Key word: was.) He'd fit right in between Price, Eovaldi and Sale.
  12. moonslav59
    Probably 1. Although it's not about rings, I think #1 provides a better chance.
  13. moonslav59
    I think the gift tells more about his wife, so I tried to refrain from commenting.
  14. moonslav59
    No debate, here.
  15. moonslav59
    Thanks for the insights. We plan on going to Maine again this summer and will stop in NYC to check it out. Her long time boy friend will be living with her, but the place still needs to be safe as the #1 priority. Cost is a priority, but they will be splitting the rent, so they can pay more than I'd think is fair.
  16. moonslav59
    Yes, they were obviously looking to cut salary, but you have to wonder about Kluber's health when you see a low return like that.
  17. moonslav59
    How about this? 65, 65, 95 vs 75, 75, 75
  18. moonslav59
    I'm thinking maybe expectations for bold moves were too high. If we are looking to reset, I'm not sure about rushing into deals is a sound strategy. I'm pretty certain Bloom has a numbers of deals in the works- probably some already accepted by the other team, but he is waiting on other shoes to fall first.
  19. moonslav59
    He could have lived in Western Mass or NH/Maine/Vermont.
  20. moonslav59
    Would you rather have two 75 win seasons followed by a 95 win season or one 65 win season followed by an 85 and then 95 win season?
  21. moonslav59
    This trade was denied, despite exact equal values (0.00) for each of the 3 teams: Sox get: Myers, Pollock, Margot & Campusano © SDP get: Eovaldi, JBJ and Gale (from LAD) LAD get: Price & Dalbec
  22. moonslav59
    I loved Burks. I can understand why Clemens was not extended, and I'm glad he wasn't here when he got busted for PEDs. Plus, they guy is a creep. (He got away with some hanky-panky with an underage girl.) Boggs in a Yankee uniform was indeed a sad site to see. All that history really highlights how great it has been since Henry took over and changed the whole Sox image.
  23. moonslav59
    Makes you wonder, if we hadn't been in such a budget mess, right now, we could have gotten Bumgarner & Kluber for close to what Price is making.
  24. moonslav59
    Notice I did not post this on the realistic thread. (Note: the last Dodger dump involved 8 players plus cash changing teams.) One that is maybe doable: Betts & Price (+$3M) for AJ Pollock, Maeda & Downs
  25. moonslav59
    Trade: Price ($32M x 3/ $31M on Lux Tax) Eovaldi ($17M x 3/ $17M LT) Betts (~$28M last arb) JBJ (~$11M last arb) Chavis (pre-arb) Walden (pre-arb) +$1M a year x 3 yrs for Pederson (~$9M last arb) Maybe flip him to another team later AJ Pollock ($17M x 3/ $12M Lux tax) K Maeda ($3.1M x 4/ $3.1M LT) Joe Kelly ($8.3M x 2/ $8.3M LT) Josiah Gray (Pitching prospect) Total Money: Sox get: $37.4M in 2020 but $33M Lux Tax (counting the $1M we send per year) drops $9M in 2021 (Pederson) and another $8.3M in 2022 (Kelly) LAD gets $87M in 2020 and $86M on Lux Tax drops $39M in 2021 (Betts & JBJ)
