  1. I wonder if this Myers thing is even still active. No word from either camp for several days...
  2. 139 plate appearances. Also an OPS of .847 in 2018 and .874 in 2017. There is enough to Scooter Gennett that the reason he is still available might be related to his asking price. Hard to believe no team took a chance on him if he was willing to take any dirt cheap offer. He may already have a few such offers than he is ignoring for now...
  3. "Let's just put these goal posts over here..."
  4. Actually it was Haywood Sullivan
  5. He was a Yankee. That's unethical in my book...
  6. But can he pitch?
  7. Nope. Lotto...
  8. Ooooh... former Yankee catcher
  9. Yankees will allow beards this season, as long as players trim them into the "swoosh" shape...
  10. Well, the only redeeming facet of the Castillo situation is that he does not count towards the CBT. But he is definitely a waste of resources if he does not make the team this year. And potentially one even if he does.
  11. An argument can be made that Verlander in 2017 contributed as much as both with his 4-1 2.21 across 36.2 IP...
  12. Interesting phrasing...
  13. Well, I’d say several. Off the top of my head, Aroldis Chapman, Rickey Henderson and Lou Brock. Teams that didn’t win the title but got amazing contributions from deadline acquisitions include the Cubs with Rick Sutcliffe, the Yankees with Dave Justice, the Astros with Carlos Beltran and the Tigers with (a very costly) Doyle Alexander...
  14. Sad that I missed that because I checked twice.
  15. I would think getting Kinsler for less would have been easier than getting Thornburg for less, especially given what cheap and controllable closers typically go for...
  16. You left out one of DD’s best under-the-radar trades- dealing Deven Marrero for Josh Taylor...
  17. Weird. So did Kevin. Gross team...
  18. He’d probably be flattered to be remembered at all
  19. Vaughn Eshelman passed away in 2018...
  20. f*** him. Actually I like him for playing too shallow when JD Drew came up in the 2008 ALCS
  21. $27.7 million is not 2/3 of the total contract value of $83 million. It's about 33%. And if the Sox are on the hook for $3.8 million of the $13.8mill AAV, they're reponsible for about 27%. So the difference is nowhere near as great as you think even using your methodology...
  22. A 51.6% chance might not save Preller's job. Especially since it basically means there is a 48.4% chance he is fired...
  23. Entirely possible the loose bodies are more recent and he might not be fully truthful about his offseason activities. Hardly a first for a ballplayer...
  24. Kevin Gross? Or Wayne? Both were pretty good players, although you're probably too young to remember Wayne "the Human Triple Play"...
  25. Another name that crossed my mind. He is an interesting one given how polarizing he is among Sox fans. I have certainly campaigned for him on this board, and he absolutely has justified any interest, even recently. I figured someone (Kimmi?) would mention him. And Buchholz was one of the two guys (Daniel Nava being the other) who really made the ol' WAPM look good, which gives him a permanent place in my heart...
