And one other thing we clearly both agree on - f*** the Sparks!!!
-
Hey, Rusney is a free agent and a centerfielder. Just sayin'...
-
NOBODY has carried the "Eovaldi is going to get hurt" banner higher than I have. Eovaldi himself has emailed me and told me to please stop (OK, not true.) But at this point, if the Sox ae going to deal Eovaldi for another "bad" contract, it better be someone who can contribute, because resources are not going to be unlimited and the Sox need pitching and plenty of it. Make this deal, and next off-season you'll be proposing other deals to sell of Longoria for a sunken contract. I still think the smartest move is to shift Eovaldi to the bullpen, where a 60-70 IP workload is more manageable...

Until they took away his only weapon - Henry's checkbook...

No backsies!!
-
His lineage is always worth a place on the team, IMO. But Longoria? Not so much. Eva? Sure. But not Evan...

Moreland might be available after all https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/10/padres-rumors-mitch-moreland-option.html

And the Sox might not even walk that far. Maybe they non-tender and re-sign him for less. ERod might beangry about it, but if it is the best offer he'll more than likely take it. Personally, I think for the Sox an $8-9mill contract for a pitching-bereft team as a gamble is not a big deal. If ERod is alive, he is getting a tender. Worst case scenario is they waster $8-9mill on a player who doesn't pitch. Big deal. They're paying Price twice that to pitch somewhere else. And they'll paying Eovadi twice that and he's no guarantee to pitch next year either...

They key word in your argument is "played"...
-
Yes, his contract tender is 100% dependent on his health...
-
Ok so NOW you bring in the whole "history as a pitcher" thing...
-
Schilling was originally drafted and signed by the Sox, but was dealt to Baltimore in a trade for Mike Boddicker...
-
Only if they are used to offset what it takes to bring the good players that accompany them...
-
Chargers?
-
What if it's only the right arm that falls off?
-
Neither did Kevin Plawecki, and he threw more innings. So why does Plawecki only get $1.6mill and ERod gets $8.3 mill?
-
Well, what did he do to deserve a raise?
-
Last year, they were only down 10-0 after the first inning. Totally different. Funny story - that was a record for the first inning of a post-season game then. It lasted all of one year...
-
Simmons isn't as injury-prone as you make him out to be. He's no Stanton/Judge. Simmons has played 146 games every year of his career except 3...
-
Belt's hit is negligible, since they just reset and he is gone after one year...
-
They didn't develop Eckersley. They acquired him from the Guardians for Rick Wise, Mike Paxton, Bo Diaz and Ted "Thunder" Cox. So basically for Wise and nothing else. Eck was only 23 at the time, but he already had 40 career wins and a no hitter to his credit...
-
And you think that's better? -
I was saying this just the other day to Ernie Banks...
-
Do you have a pool of piranhas? I think you might need it here...
-
Per BTV, that trade would be Eovaldi for Pollock and Robinson Ortiz. a 19yo who last posted a 4.59 ERA in A ball....
