It is. Thank you. That means a lot coming from you. After all, it seems like you stopped talking about baseball a while ago and instead decided to focus on the content of other people’s posts. Whether you’re using the Nerdwell’s to denigrate them, or commenting that they must want to save Henry’s money, or calling them an “idiot with an audience and a keyboard”, or telling them they’re not subjective. When did it stop being about baseball to you?

Congrats, Denny. On your most clueless post ever!!! I didn’t think you could do it, you know, since the premise of posts like that have been explained to you only about a million f***ing times. But here you still are!!
-
Not really. They’re on the way up and in the AL Central...
-
In jest, yes. But fun to see how far it is from reality. Now if the Pale Hose are interested in JD Martinez, I do hope the Red Sox are interested in Reynaldo Lopez...

So Wittemeyer holds it against Epstein that Theo didn’t spend more than he was allowed to? I want to be there when Wittemeyer turns in his next expense report to his boss...

l According to baseballtradevalues.com, that deal would have to be slightly modified. If the Sox substitute Antonio Flores for Dalbec, that package would be sufficient to acquire Eloy Jimenez alone. To get the package you want, the Sox would need to ship the four players you mention to Chicago, and also include Rafael Devers and Tristan Casas...

When evaluating a team, wins and losses matter. But they don’t when evaluating a player...

I think that by trying to add on to dgalehouse’s point, you went further into proving it...

I doubt the Sox - or most teams - will have 7 better options in the bullpen. I think the foundation for the 2020 pen includes Workman, Barnes, Hernandez, and Taylor. If anyone else makes it, Marcus Walden has a chance, although he is more likely to be the 2020 version of Ryan Brasier. ( Love to see the Sox trade career minor leaguer Walden for career minor leaguer Mike Yastrzemski.) Hembree might be offered arbitration and make maybe $2mill. Brewer lost his biggest fan in DD. Wright should be non-tendered. And hopefully we’re seeing the last of Brian Johnson...
-
So you’re going to argue DD didn’t trade away any major talent? Less than two years ago, you tried arguing about the potential future of Bryce Brentz...

I would say Taylor, while not great, was a pleasant surprise...
-
It’s not even about the amount. Too many try the “if I did that at work” arguments. It’s a different world. Normies like us can’t compare our situations to MLB players, but by the same token, it isn’t right when we get judgmental of theirs...
-
His entire point was not to tell other people what they do and don’t need financially. Uncle Rico is accusing Mookie of being excessively greedy. They all are. Every owner. Every player. Every agent. It’s just a big deal with Mookie because he’s good enough to actually get crazy levels of money. If, say, Mitch Moreland turned down a $200mill extension, we’d laugh and let him walk...
-
All of MLB is a couple thousand people who fight over several billion dollars. They’re all greedy; that’s why CBA’s exist...

You asked what players the Sox traded away could be useful to the team this year and next. I named them. It wasn’t about undoing trades or division titles or blaming anyone. What prospects could the Sox have used. End of question. And considering nearly everyone the Sox have traded made the majors with the majority having some success, it’s a long list. Also I forgot to mention Jalen Beeks. Not sure why you feel it so necessary to put words into other people’s mouths to make your point, but it was nice to be lumped in with JD, Porcello, and Sale. Although how you know them to be stand up guys is another matter. Also are you saying you wouldn’t trade JBJ for Mike Trout?
-
It’s time to. Weber is winding down his Red Sox career, and, at age 29, isn’t often considered a prospect...
-
Point?
-
No, we need you admit you made a mistake and to realize they stopped being the “only team ever” in 1995, long before your statement. Had you said “first team” or “only team at the time,” then your point would be correct. End of story...
-
The Red Sox once went 86 years with only 4 pennants and no World Series titles...
-
I'd say 3, as long as we remember Taylor will exceed expectations as a role player...

What are the chances of Porcello being offered a contract extension?
notin replied to TylerD's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Maybe it was Porcello himself, because it wasn't working at some point... -
I don’t think the timeframe matters as long as they obey anti-tampering rules. Basically any front office person anywhere for whom the Sox role would be a promotion is in play at any time. But if it’s a lateral move, the Sox need permission from the employing team to talk ...

What are the chances of Porcello being offered a contract extension?
notin replied to TylerD's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Hey blame Porcello here!! I’ve asked. It’s up to him to answer. Personally it’s good that the 2-seamer has him back on track, but I think I walk away. No way in hell do I want the Sox to sign Porcello and then have to trade Mookie.. -
Then why do some people want to emulate them? My point is, they draft better because they have more bad seasons leading to good picks. And it’s not just the first round. A high second round pick is equal to a late first rounder, where the Sox typically are. The problem is, fans want the Rays’ farm system without going through the bad seasons. That isn’t going to happen...

... which is why I opted for the WSC method over 25 years. You might not recognize it, but it actually is a frequent argument of harmony’s when some calls the NL weak or something...
