    While probably true, nearly all of them have hired people to care about their contracts...

    It's a crazy tough job but I give them credit for what they do. And yes bad calls do frustrate me. But I find myself being more upset by the calls from NFL and NBA referees than I do MLB umpires....

    That's been my position since the shocking revealation...

    It doesn't affect my opinion of Cora because I really Don't believe it. There been rumblings about Dombrowski and even people above Dombrowski wanting Hanley gone since the day DD first came to Lansdowne Street. So now the story is Cora finally pulled the trigger?
  5. notin
    He judges it by batting average. But apparently not recent batting average,,,

    Well, if Cora did do that, then I have to question his managerial acumen. Why was he batting the player he determined to be expendable in the 2 and 3 spot in the order? The only way this makes sense is if DD really worked with whateve Alex said. DD: Stop playing Hanley so much. He's slumping now and going to get real expensive. Play him less. Alex: He's had a few bad games in a row, but he's been a big part of the team and I'm not so sure he'd be the same as a part time player. DD:Not sure he'd be the same as a part time player? (Light bulb over his head) So he won't pan out playing part time? That's exactly what I need. Thanks, Alex!!

    Nope. You're wrong. If any player on the mound shows less passion than Brad "The Animal" Lesley, it is because he doesn't care at all and would rather be wind surfing. It's a baseball fact....

    Well, technically the Sox don't have a GM. So it's nice to see someone stepping in...

    Per notin, no he didn't. According to Dombrowski, Cora went from batting Hanley third in the order (and occasionally second in the order,) to wanting him off the team? No dropping in the batting order? No benching more often? Nope - #3 hitter out to out the door. That's a pretty drastic change. Hanley was DFA's because his overall contract has been a failure and one hot month didn't change that. And because his option needed to be avoided. I get why DD can't admit the latter part, but the story he's telling makes Cora look like an absolute idiot. "Cut my number three hitter!!". I don't think it was necessarily even the wrong move, but I don't buy the story from Dombrowski.

    Would you trade Benintendi for him? That's probably close to what Miami would want...

    Someone still has to sign it. I don't think the Union ever liked incentive clauses anyway. They'd prefer guaranteed money. There is a reason incentives are only tied to participation-based stats (plate appearances, innings pitched, etc.) instead of performance-based stats...

    I agree. Let the Rusney Castillo Era begin!!!
  13. notin
    I believe he has to say that in order to avoid issues from the Player's Union...
  14. notin
    Very few GMs DFA the long term deals they sign. Dombrowski left Detroit with a few questionable ones that he didn't terminate either. It's just that much easier to clean up someone else's mistakes...
  15. notin
    That's a relief...
  16. notin
    Is the question "do we need an offensive catcher" or "do we want an offensive catcher"? The Sox have the best record in the majors while getting nothing from the catcher, so it's a little hard to say they need one...
  17. notin
    Reportedly he as a good guy. But his play and the option were enough reasons...
  18. notin
    Only if the collision was at the foot of Mount Vesuvius

    Yankees have released Adam Lind. Do I see an opportunity for Hanley in NY? They have a spot on the 40-man roster now, and they will have an opening at 1B because by the time Hanley clears waivers, Greg Bird should be back on the DL.
  20. notin
    The Sox aren't getting Harper and/or Kershaw. Just extend Betts or bring back Kelly/Kimbrel...
  21. notin
    Correct, unless he is claimed off waivers. (He isn't getting claimed off waivers. But he will very likely play for another MLB team this year.)
  22. notin
    Dombrowski had a trump card we never thought he'd play...
  23. notin
    No.
  24. notin
    They should just take his check, cross out "Hanley Ramirez" and replace it with "Mookie Betts"...

    Bad robot ump quote jokes? "Danger Dan Robertson! Danger! The count is 0-2!"
