    My point was about the value of a DH not an icon. Name another DH who made $20M over multiple years.

    If you take away our March and April record from 2018 (21-7) vs patsies and add our playoff record vs the very best in MLB (seems fair, right?), we still went ... 98-50 A .662 winning % wins 107 games over a 162 game season. Game, set, match!

    This does seem puzzling.

    Adding the 50% tax, what would that cost Henry? Rince the soap out of you eyes. Tell me it's worth it.

    JD will be much older and past prime. He is now a DH with negative OF numbers. He plays OF like Papi played 1B. Papi never approached the contract numbers JD is getting, even though that was a few years back, and he never became a FA.

    It might be more than one single every 5 games, if you are talking about the difference between Leon & Swihart. It might be a few HRs a year, more doubles, singles and walks. If it is a double and a walk every 20 PAs, it would be like adding over .100 to Leon's SLG% and .100 to his OB%. That's over .200 in OPS (added to .550 is .750). Now, that might be high end estimates, but it is an example of how much great catching can make a difference.

    So, I suppose he will never have an "awkward throw" from deep in the hole the rest of his career.
  8. moonslav59
    That was my other point. Sale is toast. Pedey is toast. Paxton, CC, Didi, Hicks and all other Yankees will be back soon and at 100+%,
  9. moonslav59
    Where's the well-established timeline to 100% recovery for SSs? Look, I'm not saying he won't comeback to 100%, but while there is a pretty good history moat pitchers do comeback after about 1.5 years or so, the history on SSs in largely unknown. Again, I'm not saying it is harder for a SS. I'm saying I don't know. Do you?
  10. moonslav59
    I already answered, "No," but I'm really not sure about how easy it is for SSs to get back to near 90-100%. Are you?
  11. moonslav59
    I bet it was 14-19.
  12. moonslav59
    He's the only catcher that was ranked in the top 10 by all voters in 2018.
  13. moonslav59
    If you really think he is just an average defender, there's no use talking anymore.
  14. moonslav59
    Both Price and Sale do way better with Leon. If the differences are truly a result of who is catching them, that differential way out weighs the probable loss on offense between Vaz/Swi and Leon. On salary: Vaz is slated to make- 19:$2.85M, 20:$4.2M, 21:$6.25M, 22:$7M club option ($0.25M buyout). Leon makes $2.475M with one arb year left. If the arb guy agrees that he sucks, the Vaz-Leon salary difference will be much more next year. Vaz will likely make more than Leon & Swihart combined in 2020.
  15. moonslav59
    So, maybe he starts on the 60 day DL? One question, of all those you listed, how many came back the same or with only a little less ability than before the surgery?
  16. moonslav59
    Well, Obama was President, so us dreamers became legal.
  17. moonslav59
    I assume you'd throw in Swihart, too.
  18. moonslav59
    Where was Boston's pen projected before 2018?
  19. moonslav59
    Some longer throws. Some off balance throws. Warn up & middle of inning throws. Yes. (Note: I'm not doubting Didi's ability to comeback at 100%, but there is so little history to show how easy or hard it might be.) The guy can hit, so he'll have a job regardless of his throwing arm's recovery.
  20. moonslav59
    Kind of like all those Papi deals.
  21. moonslav59
    When do we trade to get him back? After Sale & Price's ERA jumps 1.50? Will he get a Mirrabelli escort back to Fenway?
  22. moonslav59
    Yes, we were on that site, but when it closed, we came here.
  23. moonslav59
    That was kind of my point. The Yanks will certainly have to "wait and see." Thanks for the history and lack there of. I just find it a bit annoying how Yankee fans always assume the worst on Sox injuries and struggles, but I rarely see the same concern on Yank injuries.
  24. moonslav59
    No, but what is the history of SS's recovering from TJS?
  25. moonslav59
    Shortstops need a strong arm.
