    How many actual years of rebuilding have there been to date?
  2. notin
    Fewer rings, however…
  3. notin
    He needs to figure out how to get that 1.7mph back on his fastball…

    I think too many people are volunteered for missions to the sun on this board. A simple DFA is fine with me. Maybe Barnes can be moved in a bad contract swap for a 1b? I have no candidates in mind just yet. (But Eric Hosmer and his complete outlier of a 175 OPS+ and his 3 years $39mill probably shouldn’t be one.)

    27 points at halftime might be a record for a game seven…

    Houck’s track record as a starter isn’t so great I want him in the rotation. He really does belong in the bullpen. Now why they use him to piggyback starters who have a short leash is a mystery to me. Just throw him in the back end and make him a closer/high leverage guy and leave him there. And DFA Brasier. He is in the bottom 2% in exit velocity against, hard hit%, and average batted ball distance. He’s fooling nobody…

    And throwing rocks at old people is such frivolous behavior…
  8. notin
    Totally assuming. But it is a very common practice. Like happened with Lindor one year before. It makes sense to know what their budget would be as early as possible since they didn’t know there would be a pandemic and probably wanted to make other moves that they needed to know whether or not they could afford..
  9. notin
    Word got out that Correa spends his winters throwing rocks at old people?

    I suppose it’s very possible Mookie had no intention of signing with LA. But after some 50 games of his option year were cancelled and there was no end in sight, he reconsidered his position. Did that happen? We’ll never know. Possible? Certainly…
  11. notin
    No. I would assume negotiations began shortly after the trade because I doubt the Dodgers viewed Mookie as a one season rental.
  12. notin
    Tough to say. We were two months of cancelled games into the season when he finally signed. If the Dodgers were the goal, he certainly strung them along for a while…
  13. notin
    Well, you never studied law. (Frequent Bugs Bunny joke.)
  14. notin
    DFA Brasier and bring up a starter. Coming into the game, Brasier was in the bottom 2% in MLB in exit velocity allowed. He’s not good and hasn’t been for a long time now…
  15. notin
    An absolute favorite in the Notin household…

    Why does it matter if the results justify my opinion? Whether I’m right or wrong, no one is going to hold me accountable or give me credit. Bloom does have on trait he shares with Dombrowski, Cherington and Epstein and probably even Heywood Sullivan before him; he doesn’t care what I think. I do think Lou Gorman cared. Not much. Just a little. But it mattered to me…

    For someone who constantly states unsupported theories shouldn’t be criticized as their opinions, I’d think this is right up your alley. Bellhorn is just asking what any of us would sign Eovaldi for. He’s going to sign somewhere for something, and it’s 105% likely to not be any figures used on this board. That doesn’t make any of us - even you - wrong….
  18. notin
    Go Celtics!
  19. notin
    Not looking good for me this week vs the Yankee fan…
  20. notin
    And most have said 3 or 4 years at $X per year. Which leads to the next question - what does Eovaldi want? And do our wishes and his wishes align? I do think 3 years is fine, but not more. I doubt Eovaldi feels the same…
  21. notin
    Either Seabold or Winckowski should be in Boston right now. Houck just isn’t a starter and neither is some high profile 22yo prospect where service time is even a concern. Give one a chance! It’s free! The only cost is a bus ticket to Worcester for Kutter Crawford, which doesn’t even have to be a one way ticket..
  22. notin
    And yet the team was still two games from a World Series. What does that say about the importance of a W-L record for an ace?
  23. notin
    If the reason for not extending a player for one year is not knowing what the team will look like, why sign or extend anyone? Extending Eovaldi (or anyone) does partially answer that question…
  24. notin
    And they should shrug at W-L records. Eovaldi’s record is cutler 1-1. If that was representative of his actual talent, this thread wouldn’t exist…
  25. notin
    Rick Porcello ruined it for you? The league just might not be around to paying for it like they do (the actually less telling) ERA. But then within our lifetimes, we saw MLB ownership pay for RBI as if that was part of the skill set. Just because it’s not valued yet doesn’t mean it will never be valuable…
