    Net positive short term. Long term, they will all likely even out, which is the entire point of the trading...

    All the more reason he’d like to be on the Sox. Robertson is certainly a good option at closer. I’m surprised DD won’t go 3 years. But he might know something about Robertson I don’t know. (Might? Yeah right. He knows plenty of things about Robertson I don’t know.) Or maybe Robertson isn’t his guy or is his Plan B and he’s posturing for now until Plan A makes a decision...

    George King per MLBTR

    ... apparently is a Rhode Island native who wants to pitch in the Northeast and is willing to accept 3 years. Dombrowski reportedly won’t go beyond two years for Robertson. This is a very rare instance where Dombrowski is more conservative than me. Either this means he knows something about Robertson that makes him shy away, or, this might be a fairly disturbing new trend in our formerly free-spending GM...

    Yes you made that point previously when you said Varitek put in about 45 pounds...

    You know, maybe 15 years from now you’ll be answering that same question by saying “Of course Mookie is the best ever! Next to him, Stan Musial looked like a garden gnome out there!!”
  7. notin
    I take it your looking st RF defense only. Otherwise, Clemente over Ruth, Aaron and Musial seems questionable to me...

    To be fair, that’s actually short for Abcdefghij. It’s a traditional first name in the Klmnopqrstuvwxyz family...

    There is a big difference between doing nothing and signing a 4 year deal worth $60mill for a pitcher whose had a fairly mediocre career and two Tommy John surgeries just because he was good for 22 innings in the postseason...

    One year for Christmas, I received Ed Jurak. Thankfully he came wth a gift receipt...

    I’m not really on board with Eovaldi either. I’m starting to think pulling Pomeranz out of the discount bin might have the most merit...
  12. notin
    Or simply because the Sox have $15mill less to spend. And the idea that Eovaldi is going to replace Porcello is ridiculous. Eovaldi has thrown like 236 IP in the last 3 years combined. Porcello threw 191 IP last year alone...

    I don’t buy this. Titles are a team effort. At some point, you’re saying “Tek was a better catcher because he was teammates with Manny and Ortiz.”

    The Athletics added a player named Skye Bolt to their 40 man roster today...
  15. notin
    Agree. (Stop making sense!!) Fisk is a Hall of Famer who spent his best years in Boston. Varitek is not going to Cooperstown...

    It’s a blurb on Rotoworld...
  17. notin
    L I wouldn’t want him on my team today. He’s like 45 years old...
  18. notin
    At the very least, you’re the only one willing to admit it...

    Hopefully the Sox ignore the minor league bullpen options right now. They’re going to use maybe 12-15 relievers this year, which means they will be calling up 5-7 minor league relief pitchers as it is. Let’s save Durban, Lakins, etc. for that list...

    It makes sense until Syndergaard gets dealt for our prospects for a team trying to rebuild its farm. The Sox aren’t getting Syndergaard. Oh yeah,and the other part that doesn’t make sense is the Mets trying to dominate the New York media from the Yankees. Not only are all those pages printed on pinstriped paper, but exactly how newsworthy are the Mets going to be without Thor?
  21. notin
    But they’d still have Cano, which does appear to have something to do with their motives here..

    The Mariners have actually made 4 postseason appearances since 1977. The only team with fewer in their history is the Miami Marlins, who have two. But bear in mind, the Marlins are 16 years younger as a franchise, and they won the World Series in both appearances...

    Didn’t the Sox win that game on a home run in the ninth off Mariano Rivera by ... Bill Mueller? I do still think he was the best suggestion on this thread...
  24. notin
    Most likely scenario is he called and asked and decided the price, whatever it was, wasn’t worth it for Colome...
  25. notin
    Entirely possible Dombrowski never liked Colome much. This is the second time in 7 months he’s been traded for beatable offers with no action or mention from DD...
