    I think I gamble on Matt Adams if the goal is a LHH 1b. I don’t know if Greg Bird would be better (very likely not) but he was the low risk high reward candidate. Or the Sox could have looked to 2b at Yolmer Sanchez, Scooter Gennett or Addison Russell and moved Chavis/Dalbec to 1b full time...

    To me, Mitch Moreland is like a Vin Diesel movie. The actually work isn’t always bad on it’s own, but there is always a better choice somewhere else...
  3. notin
    I don’t even think of him that way. He was a good role player and fourth outfielder and he had one of the strongest arms I’ve ever seen. Also one of the hottest wives...

    I’m 5’7”. People of my stature are not bullies. (Also Napoleon Complex is a complete fake. Napoleon’s stature was normal for his time.)

    He’s clearly making the team. He has no options and therefore if they don’t DFA him, he has nowhere to go but Fenway. I am surprised. I am well over 100% confident Weber would clear waivers if DFAd...

    Right. And how many years are we away from renaming the Cy Young the Ryan Weber Award?
  7. notin
    I don’t mind if Boston gives him fair market value. But he doesn’t want it now...

    Moreland just doesn’t excite me. Every off-season I hope for the simple task of improving 1b. And every off-season they bring back Mitch Moreland...

    Why is Kotsay a bad choice?
  10. notin
    Kielty has the home run in game 4 of the 2007 WS. Kotsay had the big triple in the 8th inning game 5 of the 2008 ALCS (a game the Sox trailed 7-0 in the 7th while facing elimination) and scored the tying run on a single by Coco Crisp on roughly the 115th pitch of the at bat. I hope that clears this up...

    Will he put James Franco and Jonah Hill on the coaching staff?
  12. notin
    It is official. The Sox are NOT rebuilding. Rebuilding teams do not DFA Denyi Reyes while keeping Ryan Weber...

    And Pedro with his outrageous contract!
  14. notin
    Yet they found takers twice...
  15. notin
    He was traded twice on the contract Cleveland signed in to...

    Right now the CF market is the Mets, the Reds, and the Rangers and maybe the Phillies. Kevin Pillar and Billy Hamilton can take two of those opportunities...

    At $27mill, Mookie would not even be the highest paid player on the team. The Padres do need prospects, but they’ve been spending in recent years, giving big contracts to Myers, Hosmer and Machado. I’m struggling to believe they can’t afford one year of Betts, even while paying half of Myers contract. (Paying Betts and half of Myers is cheaper than getting stuck with Myers full contract. I assume Preller is aware of this if he is suddenly worried about money.)

    Which is tougher? Trading one year and $27mill worth of Betts? Trading one year $11mill worth of Bradley?

    So far, there’s been no buzz about this...
  20. notin
    Exactly. Henry’s words mean nothing compared to one year and $27 million...

    Well, the Orioles traded Machado for two future career minor leaguers, a AAAA utility infielder, and a singular prospect who luster has worn off. So all told, they got nothing. That’s still in play...
  22. notin
    It’s January, so it isn’t. It’s also probably not in play in July to the extent you mention. And before you run up the white flag, bear in mind Mookie is still with the Sox...

    I think that might be a bit harsh. It is possible that the best plan to keep Betts long term involves resetting now. Obviously moving Betts to reset and hoping to resign him carries serious risk, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t the best effort. No one is getting excited about the names floating about. So far, they’re just rumors. Hopefully if he deals Betts, he can get a more useful package. And reset. And sign Betts back here for 2021-2030...

    Yeah that would be a real killer. I kow you're desperate for the Sox to throw in the towel, but they aren't doing it. It's January 27th. The Sox have not moved one big contract away yet. They have not acquired a single prospect. Know what that means? They're NOT rebuilding. No team has ever started a rebuild at this point in the offseason. So just be ready. Hope Cole stays healthy. Hope that working without the sign stealing doesn't hold the Yankee hitters back too much. Just maybe... you're in for a race...
  25. notin
    How exactly does that differ from what they do when they're not rebuilding?
