You can buy a huge house with a decent sized yard for $200-250K about 20-30 minutes from downtown Houston. That's a monthly payment near your listed range.

What would a Betts extension be?
moonslav59 replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Ho-hum -
If DHernandez & Chavis or Dalbec can fill Porcello, Pearce & Moreland's shoes next year, we may be able to keep more stars than we thought was possible while still staying competitive. $36M Betts $35M Sale $31M Price $25M JD $25M Bogey $17M Eovaldi That's about $170M for 6 players. Add Pedey's $13M and we're up to about $183M for just 7 players. Add the player pension and 40 man roster scrubs in the minors and we're up to $200+M. That leaves about $5M to fill in the other 18 players on the 25 man roster and stay under the luxury tax for one year. $25M to stay under the $20M penalty line. $45M to stay under the $40M max line. We'd need to say good bye to JBJ & Nunez. Keeping Holt & Vaz might be hard. Barnes & Beni will start getting arb salaries with Devers not too far away either. It won't be easy. I think we lose Bogey and/or JD.

What would a Betts extension be?
moonslav59 replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Porcello will almost certainly be gone after this year. He's been our horse, so it will be hard to replace him without spending anything. D Hernandez may be our best hope in keeping Betts & Sale while remaining competitive. We'll also need Chavis/Dalbec to replace Pearce/Moreland after this year. Losing Pablo, Porcello, Pearce & Moreland's contracts will help, but with rising arb costs and a few other holes to fill, it won't be easy to keep a fine supporting cast around Betts, Sale, Price and maybe Bogey/JD, if we stay below the tax lines and pay 3 guys over $100M. -
Are you up to a full 25 man (IL) roster, yet?
-
As a fellow Mainer, Texas is pretty inexpensive, too. No income tax (but an 8.5% sales tax). Housing, food and gas are cheaper here. AC (electricity) costs can get high in the summer.

Seems like the Yanks are dropping like flies. Let's hope our health stays well.

Referring to several or us posters who have pumped up Devers and have very rosy outlooks on his future.

Not all "we".

What's the magic number in the Grapefruit league, now?
-
Maybe because someone will offer something for one of them, and you'd miss out on upgrading your catcher position by a little bit.
-
Wait until the state is 10 feet underwater after the ice caps melt.

MLBTR projected $24M/2. If he starts 23, he'll be doing well enough to deserve the money.
-
There's also not as many days off as is usual for the start of seasons. I like the idea.
-
I bought mine for $155 11 years ago. We just paid it off. Houses like mine are selling for $225 now, so I'm happy, but with the interest I paid, I'm still not at a profit. (Cheaper than renting, for sure!.)
-
Wasn't meant to be, but do you really think these teams would not sell for a hefty profit right now? Recent purchases: 800M SDP in 2012 615M HOU in 2011 593M TX in 2010 845M Cubs in 2009 450M ATL in 2007

I wish my house tripled in value over 5-10 years.
-
Yes, but even teams sold shortly after purchase normally make big bucks. http://www.afootinthebox.com/peter/every-mlb-teams-purchase-price-and-value-today

It just goes to show us how much money is made in baseball. 162 games TV Concessions Memorabilia Playoffs Look how much teams sell for compared to their purchase price!
-
I agree, but if we really need a RP'er later in the year and DH is doing well, I could see them maybe calling him up for the pen and to limit his IP over the full season. I want to keep him starting. Porcello will likely be gone next year, and if we want to keep Sale, Betts and maybe JD, we will need some talent on the roster making squat.

Mike Trout and Angels agrees to 12 year / 430 MIL
moonslav59 replied to redsoxrules's topic in Other Baseball
$35.83M a year for 12 years. Is Mookie worth $35M x 10? $36M x 8? $34M x 12? -
"Can't make a full season?" He's one of the top IP pitchers over the last 5-7 years. He's had 26 or more starts for 7 straight years, including 5 seasons with 30+. If you count his 3 playoff starts last year, he's stared 30+ games in 6 of the last 7 seasons with 4 straight going into 2019. He led the league in IP in 2017. Am I concerned? Yes, but let's not say he hasn't shown he can last a full season. He's been a horse, until late last year and one other brief time way back in 2014.

Leon probably has the least chance of being selected, but I'm not sure that's the top criteria we should use. Leon's biggest strength is his built up relationship with Sale and Price (and a little bit with Porcello). That has enormous (IMO) value to the Sox but not really to other teams.
-
I'm all for caution, but he's either ready or he's not. To me, it doesn't seem like another week matters, but again, I trust Cora & DD.
-
What if we keep Swihart and he never works out offensively either? It's not like the guy has a long record of raking the ball. .702 in A Ball (age 20) .794 in A+ (age 21) .843 in AA (age 22) .659 in AAA (22) .738 AA/AAA (23) .712 MLB (age 23) .720 MLB (24) in 74 PAs .655 AAA (24) .539 AAA (25) .575 Gulf RK (25) .613 MLB (age 26) I may be going blind, but I don't see how these numbers look any more encouraging than Leon or Vaz. Leon: .856 AA/AAA (age 23) 231 PAs .722 MLB (23) 33 PAs .528 MLB (24) 374 PAs .938 VEWL (24) 142 PAs .447 MLB (25) 70 PAs .692 AAA (25) 193 PAs .676 AAA (26) 111 PAs .439 MLB (26) 128 PAs .845 MLB (27) 283 PAs .655 AAA (27) 130 .644 MLB (28) 301 .511 MLB (29) 288 Vaz: .782 A/A+ (ages 19-20) .713 A+/AA (21) 424 PAs .824 AZFl (21) 43 .976 PRWL (21) 28 .771 AA (22) 399 .721 AAA (23) 270 .617 MLB (23) 201 .644 PRWL (24) 119 .713 AAA (25) 171 .585 MLB (25) 184 .735 MLB (26) 345 .540 MLB (27) 269 They all have had some decent to good seasons and some really bad ones.
