    And we send them?

    I hatt the phrase "positive regression." Don't you mean progression? Or maybe just progress? Positive regression is meaningless. The word "regression" implies negative growth, so how exactly does calling it "positive" change that? Where I come from, multiplying a negative by a positive is still a negative...

    You give up fast...

    Good answer!! So you’re saying if owners don’t spend as much as you like, you get to throw around rape accusations! Hitch is right. Let it go until there is a story about his actual involvement....

    Health is also a factor. See Graterol, Brusdar Basically having all the talent in the world doesn’t do any good if you can’t get off the IL...

    Bring in Cincinnati to take Maeda and we get Hunter Greene? Similarly ranked SP to Graterol...

    Possibly from another team?

    ... which would be OK if they took Price.

    Yeah. Benki has only been worth 6.4 fWAR the last 2 seasons. Conforto has been worth a whopping 6.7 fWAR. Worlds of difference

    Then they better find someone to send the Sox a controllable young starter for Maeda...
  11. notin
    Of course he is. Do you think Michael Conforto is a “so so” outfielder?
  12. notin
    That might be on the table...
  13. notin
    They would if they want to cut the Twins out completely...

    When my 12 yo found out, no reaction. $@&/($& Cubs’ fans. Kid doesn’t play baseball but has a 60mph fastball...

    For the record, I think Benintendi would trade you for two pictures from your profile history and a poster to be named later...

    All the difference in the world. In situation #1, I’m picturing Henry as a super involved micro-manager who doesn’t let Dombrowski go to the bathroom without prior approval. In situation 2, Henry just takes Dombrowski’s word that these are smart moves, possibly with no long term ramifications beyond continued dominance of MLB. And Henry, who is running other business ventures as well, just says “Sounds good. Go with it” while paying less attention than taxes in Guam. And after Dombrowski sprints from the room to execute his plan, I picture Henry snapping out of his business coma to say “Wait. Did I just approve spending $68 million dollars on a pitcher whose had two Tommy John surgeries before turning 30?”

    His limited service time has pushed his arbitration and free agency dates back, but his contract actually expires after this season. Even if the Sox control his rights, he will be a 33yo with 330 career plate appearances. At best, he’s 4th outfielder bench fodder. But I could see simply releasing him. Unless the Sox do something completely bizarre and extend him this off-season for more money but a (much) lower AAV. Like a 4 year $24 mill extension...

    And will he be mvp10 or whatever his birth year is?
  19. notin
    But was he overlording DD the entire time or just rubber stamping an approval for an employee he trusted at the time?
  20. notin
    Tantrum?

    If by “we”, you mean you and me, then no. However, if by “we”, you mean “the Boston Red Sox,” also no. But if you think we (meaning you and me) should sign him, count me in...

    True. But at some point, probability tells you the 25yo guy has a better chance to improve than the 30yo guy. I’ve just never seen in Weber what Bloom apparently sees. Maybe they’re in love?
  23. notin
    Yes. He would cut into their financial headroom, as I said.
  24. notin
    When he will be set free?
  25. notin
    I’ve only made about 50 or 60 posts on the subject. Personal theory - Ryan has some seriously dark stuff on Bloom from their days together in Tampa...
