But today's free agent ace is tomorrow's injured albatross...
-
Except for the $3mill-ish minimum for the players 6 players who fill out the 40 man roster...
-
Obviously. Everything has the death penalty in Texas, including parking violations.
-
Yes, that was an implied possibility...
-
Price, Betts, and Bradley for Pollock, Pederson and Stripling. Yes, it is acceptable on BTV. Probably less so with the Dodgers' Accounts Payable Department...

Small fine in Illinois...

Would Robot Joe West have made that call? -
That has to have assumptions about the salaries of Betts, Benintendi, Rodriguez, Barnes, Workman, and Hembree. They might end up under the limit if that collective group comes in $6mill under. That's actually only $1mill per on average...
-
Dalbec to Texas for Nick Solak, assuming the Rangers cannot sign Rendon? BTV says this trade heavily favors the Rangers, so they can add something in. (Kolby Allard?)
-
Possible, but then they might want Dalbec to get in some actual time at AAA. There is no rush with him. I actually don't like the idea of bringing up Dalbec to play 1B. He is cheap, and fits the budget. But 1B is typically much easier to fill and if he cannot hit LB pitching or struggles right out of the gate, what then? What if he is hitting .125 on May 1st? He's also one of their better pieces of trade bait, and might be better off being dealt for a 2b..

Or that she was cast opposite Jimmy Fallon... -
Lin is a better defensive player. And he is capable of playing more positions, including SS. Plus Marco is no longer an internal option...
-
If the Sox have the money, another really good external option might be Jonathan Schoop. Last year, he signed a one year deal for $7.5mill. He also played 2B with Bogaerts at SS on the Dutch National team...
-
If the Sox have to fill 2B for less than $5mill, I have to wonder what the options are...
-
As of right now, is Lin the starting 2b? IMO he is their best internal option, assuming Pedroia is a no-go...
-
Walker is a guy I put into the same category as Danny Salazar. The Sox are coming off a year where SP injuries derailed the season. If your problem is SP injuries, Taijuan Walker is more likely to be part of the problem than part of the solution...
-
OK. I am surprised, especially given the quality of the Sox middle infield and utility options. But I guess Cherington and Dombrowski thought more of Marco Hernandez than Bloom does, and this looks like a case of the roster spot being more valuable than the player...
-
Eh. A $32mill salary is as good as a no-trade clause...
-
Not sure what you're responding to here...
-
Defensive metrics measure accomplishments, not ability, despite what many fans think. Bradley was among the top in innings for CF, but his chances, putouts, etc. were no commensurate with his innings played. Basically, he saw fewer opportunities per inning than a lot of other CF. So the rest got credit for making plays on opportunities while Bradley did not, and therefore his overall metrics suffered. His metrics were not a knock on his ability to play defense...
-
Myers was weak offensively last year, but it was his first year in San Diego with an OPS+ below 109. If he gets back to that level, he would basically be like Mitch Moreland (OPS+ 112, OPS: 835) last year for the Sox. His fWAR is always pretty low, but that is because he is a lousy outfielder, at least in CF and RF, where San Diego played him for reasons no one will ever understand. The Sox could move him to 1B and ignore his OF defense...
-
It was. But the remaining Sox roster was not all that impressive. If the Sox move Martinez - and to whom - I don't expect much beyond a middling prospect and some financial relief. Then the Sox have to get someone to replace his bat, and Travis Shaw isn't going to cut it...

That name just sounds like a Mafia crime boss, but he needs a cool nickname. Like Sammy "The Lizard" Lucchino...

Again, a big part of the reason why the movie would be so unbelievable...
