  1. All sucked.....just some more than others.
  2. Truer words have never been spoken.
  3. They will look to reset at some point during his contract. His contract will make it very difficult. Again, cancer spreads, and his is malignant.
  4. The A's get Profar in a 3 team deal.
  5. The Giants announced Friday that they’ve signed switch-pitcher Pat Venditte to a one-year, Major League contract. The addition of Venditte brings San Francisco’s 40-man roster to a total of 38 players. Venditte’s guarantee is a modest $585K that checks in just $30K north of the league minimum.
  6. His contract will strangle a team. Yes, he's good. I don't think he will have the impact many think he will. Cancer spreads quickly and can be lethal.
  7. I heard on the soxprospects.com latest podcast that the Sox plan to use a 6 man rotation the first 2-3 times through the rotation to start the 2019 season. They doubt Wright will be ready by opening day after November knee surgery. Velazquez has options, so they weren't sure he makes the opening day roster, so I guess the 6 would be: Sale, Price, Eovaldi, Porcello, ERod & Johnson. They think the Sox are not looking to sign a RP'er to more than a year, because they have faith in the pipeline: (Poyner) Lakins, D Hernandez & Feltman http://news.soxprospects.com/2018/12/podcast-ep-150-we-know-what-roman.html
  8. Soria's ERA was 3.13, if you count his whole season.
  9. He'll be 35 next season. I'm hoping we can do better. I think a trade is the best way to get a solid RP'er and not kill our budget.
  10. 1. Every movie he's made is bad. 2. See #1. 3. Dumb people must like him.
  11. It was a player option for Nunez with a $2M buyout. Cots.... 1 year/$6M (2018), plus 2019 player option re-signed by Boston 2/18/18 18:$4M, 19:$4M player option ($2M buyout) 2019 option may increase $1M based on 2018 plate appearances may earn additional $1M annually in performance bonuses Nunez exercised 2019 player option at $5M 11/1/18
  12. Lateral move but $4M cheaper. With RP'er costs sky rocketing, we may need that extra $4M.
  13. Soria signs with the A's for $15M/2. Thoughts of signing a solid RP'er on the cheap seem very remote.
  14. 2 reasons: 1. Money 2. Winning
  15. I never liked him either, but people flock to his movies just to see him. It might take 3-4 really bad movies for him to not be offered a lot for his next movie.
  16. They do seem to do well with pitcher acquisitions.
  17. Think of how signing Abreu, instead of Castillo might have changed a lot of poor, future choices we made.
  18. What about trading Nunez for some salary relief ($5M) and getting Tulo at min wage? We'd still have Holt, Lin, Hernandez, Swihart, Chavis, Travis & maybe Dalbec for infield depth.
  19. Okay, but he'd be cheaper than Kinsler. The problem is, he wants to play FT, and he'll know if Pedey is healthy, he won't.
  20. The Beckett re-signing might be second worst. Julio Lugo, Jose Offerman and others are probably far behind.
  21. I was thrilled when we got him and predicted 50 HRs. He did well here, but he quickly broke down afterwards. Thank you, Ben, for trading CC, Beckett and AGon. The money saved and FA signings like Uehara, Napoli and Vic brought us a ring during a time we were supposed to be rebuilding.
  22. Then just trade him to clear a roster spot and gte a less than decent prospect. Andujar at 1B makes more sense than trading him to make room for Machado. I'll be thrilled, if the Yankees get MM. He's a cancer.
  23. We did end up signing Kinsler and had Phillips in AAA last year, so I guess the idea is not illogical.
  24. I like Holt better than Nunez, but I don't see anyway Tulo is in our plans, unless we trade Nunez, Holt or Pedey.
  25. Put him at 1B and trade Voit for a decent prospect.
