Yes he did. He wanted a spend-heavy winner, especially after Cherington proved to be a tad less than King Midas in free agency ( But even the heavy spending wouldn’t have been so bad if not coupled with the emptying of the farm system, leaving no minimum wage players to help keep the payroll sustainable....

Neither is Tanner Houck’s
-
It would cripple a small market team. A larger market can take that risk, but not too often apparently...
-
I agree with that. I just saw it as an inevitability a while back based on other decisions.
-
He did, but playing the game where the impact of a GM starts the day he is hired and ends the day he departs and no predecessor ever impacts his role feels incomplete. And as long as I don’t get over critical of the crowd that says that, I feel ok in criticizing the notion itself...
-
Also, depending on who says them
-
I’m going to say they did not. Brady Breeze was likely born (and named) in 1997 or 1998. At that time, Tom Brady was still at University of Michigan, battling either Brian Griese or Drew Henson for the starting QB job.
-
I’d be surprised if Peraza was tendered a contract at all. And part of me thinks Bloom would lean more towards Muniz and Arroyo - basically, his guys - over Lin, who might also be non-tendered, or Chatham, who has options left...
-
He did much better with actual resources at his disposal. No GM from Tampa can give Mookie that contract...
-
Well, I have been very vocal in wishing he kept Graterol. Whatever he didn’t like, Friedman certainly did...
-
You’re not even making sense any more, cpl....
-
Dalbec is more capable defensively...
-
So... Dombrowski didn’t leave the team with a bunch of heavy contracts and no farm system? Or do you only chime in when someone denigrates Dombrowski? Why not say something when dgalehouse makes critical commentary about Bloom?
-
So the Sox should put everything on Downs? I don't like the idea of the Red Sox depending on a guy named "Jeter". Seriously, so what happen if you "bridge to Downs" and he just plain sucks? I know he is a ranked prospect (BA #86), but you know who else was a ranked prospect at one time? Jose Peraza. (BA #54 in 2015 and BA#66 in 2016). They don't all work out as planned. Get a real 2B and worry about Downs when he makes it an issue. Let's not pretend he is Joe Morgan-in-the-wings...
-
Oh they were terrible at surrounding Ernie Banks, Billy Williams and Ryne Sandberg with talent . (Ok, Sandberg did play on some good teams.). But that’s the entire point. And that was back when retaining your star didn’t cost $360 million...
-
Ryosuke Kikuchi. Japanese, not Korean. Absolutely love the idea. Sadly after he failed to get an MLB offer (that he liked?), he signed a 4 year deal with the Hiroshima Carp last December...
-
The greatest football name ever is Barkevious Mingo....
-
We already have a few Yolmer Sanchez types kicking around. While I like the idea of signing Sanchez or, better yet, Kolten Wong, it’s more likely someone from the Yairo Munoz/Christian Arroyo/Jon Arauz/CJ Chatham/TW Lin/Michael Chavis subset of infielders plays 2b, and maybe 1 or 2 more fill bench roles. I suppose a possible dark horse is Chad De La Guerra...
-
I do find myself referring to him as Brian Dalbec a lot.
-
Dombrowski should be paying. He built this team, after all...
-
No. 1 on my list is my repeated calling the Sox new 1b Brian Dalbec, since I keep confusing him with The Belleville Basher, Brian Daubach...
-
I do think the bulk of the post was meant to be facetious. But yeah, spelling...
-
There’s no “K” in Dalbec. Unless he’s batting...
-
I expect Henry to still spend. I just think he wants a GM who doesn’t go all in all at once with regards to payroll and emptying the farm system thus leaving the team as the huge steaming pile of payroll we are watching today...
-
Downs will be dealt for pitching. Hudson Potts is the future...
