And non-pitcher Steve Lyons!!
-
And my criticism of him might have some flaws. Interesting he looked good behind the plate. That was actually the knock against him in the LA system. Although it is quite possible that being in the same organization at the same time as Will Smith, Keibert Ruiz and Diego Cartaya might have impacted their decisions to bounce him around the diamond, meaning either they figured catcher was covered or that he simply did not look as good as any of those others...

.667 OPS and a completely unsustainable BABIP of 1.000?
-
You’re not supposed to actually read Dan Shaughnessy…

One of many awful sales and trades between the Sox and Yankees in just a few years. Frazee basically handed them Ruth, Hall of Famer Herb Pennock, Should-Be Hall of Famer Carl Mays, and two other good pitchers in Sad Sam Jones and Bullet Joe Bush. Basically handed the Yankees the best pitching staff of the 1920’s and in return got to put on a s***** play and plunge his team into nearly nine decades of frustration…
-
I didn’t like that deal either. I think I was the only one on BDC who wanted Beltre over AGon…
-
Sox fans still lament a trade from 1919…
-
Oh lovely hypocrisy. Apparently no one is allowed to criticize the deal, but dgalehouse is allowed to defend it indefinitely and without provocation…
-
Continue to criticize? You do realize that you are the one who started it all back up by asking about Logan Allen…

6/25 vs Yankees (Pedroia's Retirement Party)

And possibly why they have been using such a large bullpen... -
The “Richards Fiasco” proved they were right about spin rate. Just look at the difference before and after…
-
I have a simpler formula. Blame/credit the GM. For everything. Screw pretending to know the inner machinations of the front office….
-
And at the time I believe I posted that I was shocked we gave up so many prospects for one reliever AND took on the entire contract…
-
Maybe. I might have missed one but the biggest contract for an RP that off-season appears to have been 4 years $31mill for Darren O’Day. Certainly Kimbrel gets more money and probably the same years (five year deals for relievers are still rare). $60-$70 mill would be the range. But what’s your point? Really what it looks like is Dombrowski escalated his price to convince San Diego to sell. That means yes, he had to overpay. If San Diego was dumping salary, he really went overboard. And for a team with as many needs on pitching as the 2015 Red Sox, spending all the allowance on a closer did not look like a good idea.
-
Drafting for need is silly because no one knows what those needs will be in 2024…
-
Is Cora the new Lucchino? The guy credited with unpopular free agents?
-
Guerra is injured, but his position switch and 100 mph fastball are certainly intriguing…
-
What about the 2020 bullpen? The only experienced reliever we added was coming off a season with an ERA well over 5. Unlike the 2015 bullpen, which was loaded with experienced (and successful) MLB relievers. Also while Kimbreltrack record was impressive, certainly 2015 closer Uehara’s was as well. Remember how Uehara became the closer? Two pitchers ahead of him went down for the season…
-
Well, free agents don’t cost three top 100 prospects…
-
Cora tried to have one last night…
-
Maybe a similar trade with similar goal of upgrading defense. Bogaerts and Dalbec to Atlanta for Freeman and Swanson. (And surprisingly, it does work out on BTV.)
-
If ever there was a "sell high" opportunity eith Barnes, it is next month. Of course, I have serious doubts that he commands anywhere near $20mill AAV on the free agent market. He won't be as tough to re-sign and possibly more expensive to replace...
-
And if the Sox traded Betts a year earlier, would they have gotten more for him or less?
-
Cleveland apparently wanted Logan Allen as part of their return for Trevor Bauer, and he was the only MLB pitcher they received. He had value then, right? There’s a 5 and a half year gap between “then” and today. It’s not a binary choice…
-
Opposing pitchers disagree with this statement….
