No no. Only Red Sox have cliffs...

... which would result in a grievance.

LOL I don’t even think you believe those reasons. I understand it’s tough coming up with good points from the weak side, but those were really weak and EASILY counterable if you want me to. The only reason I don’t is we both know evenyou don’t believe your arguments...

Gaining Greinke full time along with Chase Whitley does...

Happ’s value of -9.1 is too much for any of Cessa (4.8), Tarpley (1.1) or Holder (1.0) to overcome. Or all 3 combined...

They already replaced him with Greinke. Pro-active. Also with Preston Tucker, Chase Whitley, Jose Urquidy, and Abraham Toro ready to join the first full season of Yordan Alvarez, I’d say the Astros are not dead yet...

The thoughts of a machine with the mechanical strength and sheer, unstoppable determination of the Terminator and the judgment of Angel Hernandez is the stuff nightmares are made from...

The Yankees could entice with other players definitely. But definitely not Tarpley or Holder or Cessa

Chicken counter. BTW the Astros are not dead yet. Unless Hector Rondon was a bigger factor than I realized....

Much like the Sox pitchers, Happ has aged since then. So you keep pointing out that Price, who is 3 years younger than Happ, is getting old and his career is going the wrong way, but now you think 37yo Happ is a prime bounce back candidate? Pinstriped glasses or what? One year ago, Eovaldi (who is significantly younger than Happ) was a hot commodity. Think he still is? He’d be available on a shorter deal than one year ago. Sure he was hurt last year, but which of his past suitors would really be surprised here? Like Happ, Eovaldi makes about $17mill. Unlike Happ, he’s 29 and turns 30 in a couple months. So why go for Happ based on 2 years ago when 30yo Eovaldi is available? If you’re answer involves recency, Happ isn’t coming off a stellar year.

I do disagree on Sale. If you look at his career, his velocity has been going up and down from season to season for years. And even with all that, he still managed top 6 Cy Young seasons nearly every year. I’ve never been a fan of the Eovaldi health history. He is definitely an oddity to throw as hard as he does for his size. But part of me always wonders - is that maybe the root cause here? I do think Price will be someone else’s problem. Don’t care who’s. And I think te rotation will be Sale-Eovaldi-Rodriguez (in whatever order) probably followed by two openers, one of whom will be Darwinzon Hernandez...

Price is a hot commodity. His contract, however, is not...

Calling All Budgies - the Red Sox 2020 payroll thread

Oh please. Like she could get anything worthwhile -
I don't think any of the mediocre middle relief candidates quite qualify as an enticement to get another team to take on $17mill worth of a 1.3 fWAR starting pitcher with a 5.22 FIP. Typically, these enticements use a real prospect with actual value that another team thinks is worth the $17mill commitment. The Pirates had to include twice-ranked Ryan McGuire to entice the Blue Jays to take on Francisco Liriano for example. Most teams already have a Tarpley/Holder/Cessa type in their system that they can already use for a lot less money...
-
Plus I think there is a good chance the Sox beat those analytics with an opener or two in the rotation. Perez might essentially be a long reliever who starts out facing the bottom of the order...

1.6 fWAR is feeding into his desire to brag more about Gerrit Cole...
-
So... top 5 Cy Young? Or have you forgotten your awful track record with preseason predictions?
-
Not sure how it happened as you post on this board, but clearly you are still unfamiliar with how Cora handles starting pitchers in Spring Training. The most likely injury Price will suffer is a hemorrhoid...

Until the robot umps become terminator umps and turn on us all, killing thousands, enslaving others, and having their way with the women. When that happens, will you still be complaining about umpires?

Early activity seems to indicate Price is likely traded. Current free agent dollars and his personal career goal of hitting free agency, coupled with the Sox stockpiling mediocre role fillers, is a strong indication Betts will be gone as well. Bradley seemed like a logical choice, but there may be no need to move him, at least before July... -
Considering a big chunk of both include arbitration estimates for Betts, ERod, Benintendi, Barnes and Workman, it’s very likely neither end up being right...

As I said with Porcello, it’s easier to do worse than better...

It is clear to me what is going on with Bloom. After doing some inventory, the Sox have discovered they have an abundance of “PER” name segments for the backs of jerseys. This explains the signings of Jose Peraza and Martin Perez. Also, next up will be Wily Peralta, Hernan Perez, and Ryan Tepera. Bloom has also had discussions with Steve Perce and Hunter Perce, but neither was willing to accept the name change...

They’d be more welcome if they were correct. However, Cot’s has the Sox $10,000,000 closer to the threshold. And yes, they have already included the deals for Peraza and Perez...
