    I think sometimes the Hindsight Jury needs to include the caveat that maybe the front office actually knew something...

    I made an account at Sauxheads but never made a single post. I typically limit my activity to one message board at a time. That both PG and SBF post there isn’t selling me on that board...

    If you find inactivity and malaise surprising, I guess. You’re not doing much to shatter the stereotypes of accountants...

    He had some injury problems in 2018 and never got going. But he was stellar in 2017. The Sox got 2 1/2 years of Major League starts for a pitcher who threw 32 minor league innings in 2016. If we kept Espinoza and he got hurt, he’d actually have less value to the organization than Jay Groome...

    PumpsieGreen was another one who questioned everything and had all the answers. He’s over ruining the freeforums board now. Once on that board, he ripped Farrell for not bringing in Barnes and costing the Sox a game. Farrell later had a press conference and said Barnes was overworked and unavailable. Pumpsie refused to admit Farrell might know something about this and absolutely insisted Barnes was available. Absolute classic...

    No idea if Papi would even be a good bench coach. And he’s given no indication he wants any type of job anywhere. The only thing I (think I) know is he is extremely revered among the Dominican players. That’s definitely a plus...

    My mistake. Bottom line, while I thought that deal was an overpay at the time, I don’t know if Dombrowski gave up Espinoza because he simply conceded to the high price or because his people advised him that Espinoza might be a health risk. If we judge that trade by hindsight, it certainly worked out for Boston...

    So you would be excited with this team if the off-season played out according to my previous post?
  9. notin
    True. Like the Sox, he sold off lots of parts for a title. The changes made to free agent compensation have hampered his farm-building style...
  10. notin
    Sure it is. But status quo doesn’t make for an interesting off-season...

    Do you remember Bigfoot on BDC? He was actively ripping Theo (or “Guitar Boy,” as he called him) for destroying the Red Sox during the World Series!!!
  12. notin
    Betts. And the most tradable is Bogaerts..,
  13. notin
    Not hearing that. He may no longer be a demi-god, but no one seems impatient in Chicago...
  14. notin
    Yes but none are guaranteed. If JD stays, Betts doesn’t get traded, Bradley gets tendered, Hernandez or Lin replaces Holt and Johnson or Chacin replaces Porcello, where are all these guaranteed changes? I think they should make a few big moves, but as I am not the GM, I can’t guarantee anything will happen...

    Usually there are two reasons a manager gets ripped. 1. Hindsight 2. Doing something the accuser would not have done.
  16. notin
    Like to see him go 5 innings right now. I’m not sure why they have him on such a short leash
  17. notin
    Other than hiring a GM? Which isn’t guaranteed either as the Sox could theoretically continue with the status quo...
  18. notin
    No idea. Just wondering if any team has had 4 players with 40 doubles...
  19. notin
    So Bogaerts and Devers are the first Sox teammates with 50 doubles. If Benintendi hits one more double, will the Sox be the first team ever with 4 players with 40 doubles?
  20. notin
    I have. But that was a long time ago...
  21. notin
    Depends on his price, I’d guess...
  22. notin
    Agreed.
  23. notin
    Wasn’t his first T.J. while still in Boston?
  24. notin
    Maybe I wasn’t;)
  25. notin
    So my own personal fact checker? Nice!! I must be moving up in the world.
