  1. $30 million....
  2. I do think he’s better than Marrero at the plate, but his is going to spend his career batting 8th or 9th. Hopefully he is good enough, because as of now, he might be shortstopping in Boston in 15 months...
  3. And they’re having a crazy off-season. I think they’ve been involved in almost every trade so far...
  4. I'm actually shocked he hasn't. How is Michael Chavis still in this organization?
  5. And THAT is why they are not getting Harper...
  6. Or the Reds, who just extended theirs? Or the Braves, who have Flowers and McCann? Dodgers, Astros, and Padres make sense. But it won’t be the Padres, since the Marlins will insist on Tatis...
  7. Hey I’ve been defending his bullpen approach for 2 weeks now and decided he is having a Very Notin Off-Season, which actually may not be a good thing...
  8. Dormant Dave?
  9. The Craig Hansen Approach!! More likely they leave him in AA until (at minimum) after the Super Two date. I know he was considered one of the more/most MLB-ready players in his draft class, but that doesn’t really give any insight into his actual ceiling. He is the #10 prospect in a weak system, after all...
  10. He figured out to not catch up to a fastball?
  11. Feltman might even pitch in the majors this year, although if he is closing it probably means something went horribly wrong. Either way I would think the goal is that he get some IP above A ball this year before he becomes an option...
  12. Play in vs play off? Wow. Who cares? It’s a one game winner take all scenario no matter how you label it. Tell you what - we’ll call it a “play-in” game when the Sox are in it but a “playoff” game when the Yankees are in one. That way you can maintain some hypocrisy about the whole scenario and have some minutiae to troll over. Happy?
  13. There is a “Fun with Baseball Names” thread on the General Baseball forum. And no baseball name ever is funnier than Tim Spooneybarger...
  14. And really going after the minutiae here. While it was a regular season game, that game in 1978 was constantly referred to as a “one game playoff.” And as it was a “winner take all,” it really served that purpose. Any sport that has a single game with high postseason stakes like that is often referred to as “effectively a playoff game.” It’s not really up for being teased about in the same fashion as Jacko saying the Yankees playoff hopes were decided by a diving catch that happened in a completely different series...
  15. If that was the case, Feltman would have been added to the 40 man roster...
  16. Really? If you’re limited to trolling about that level, your permit needs to be revoked. I mean, is this really the best you have?
  17. Kimbrel for 2/$36mill and then sign Allen for 1/$8....
  18. I couldn’t guarantee Encarnacion didn’t play there...
  19. So one season indicates a “trend”?
  20. The Sox and Yankees 1b situations both have potential to be the least productive in the American League outside of Baltimore. Debate does need to die...
  21. Better than Voit’s trend of minors, majors, minors, majors. What do you suppose is next? Or Bird’s trend of DL, DL, DL? Where does that pattern go next?
  22. Why? You really didn’t think I knew what a closer was?
  23. And I’m 176 games, he’s been worth 0.8 fWAR. His 311 plate appearances last year is the most he’s had in a season since 2015. He hasn’t been very good, but on the bright side he doesn’t play all that much...
  24. Kimbrel, Allen, Brach, Romo, and Boxberger plus several others with closing experience like Ottavino, Ramos, Madson, Johnson, Norris, Clippard and Kelley. Probably a few others as well...
  25. 34 days until pitchers and catchers report...
