As long as Boone doesn’t try to “squeeze” eight innings out of Sale...
-
Has any player ever taken a pay cut or status quo salary after arbitration?
-
Rodney struggles to throw strikes and has averaged over 4BB/9 throughout his career. Relievers who put men on base late in the game are very often a bad thing...
-
I don’t think Bradley sucks. I do think he’s the only starting position player the Sox can come close to replacing internally...
-
I do hate his hat tilt, but it was in jest. I assumed he did it for the same reason Pedro Strop does - to keep from hitting it with his arm while pitching. Rodney has a long career history of being wild. He lets on too many base runners and only survived because his current role lets him start mostly clean innings. He’s not a good idea for the Sox...

Anyone who doubts this needs to go to freeforums and try to debate PumpsieGreen or seabeachfred. Although Joebreidey does post there and he may have been the most rational of all the BDC posters...

As long as significant time is given to BlargyBlarg

I hate the way he wears his hat!! Also his pitching sucks...

Castillo makes about $12mill annually. If JBJ starts making $9-10mill next year, Castillo is barely an increase. The Sox could trade JBJ and replace him for maybe $2-3mill more. It might be cheaper than using free agency to fill holes...
-
Castillo has shown himself to be a capable defender in limited action. At some point, he won’t be too much more expensive than Bradley, if at all...
-
The Astros might take their foot of the proverbial gas pedal due to their comfortable lead...
-
I don’t think any fan base contains as many whiny conspiracy theorists as the Yankee fan base...
-
If JBJ winds up making more than Castillo, should the Sox trade JBJ?
-
Wait. Is Billy Williams the Babe from BDC?
-
The Giants 37 instances of cheating on yourteamcheats.com still outnumbers the 26 instances listed for the Patriots...
-
Why would the Sox trade Bradley for a good glove no bat outfielder? Or, if the goal was to get a hitter, why would another team trade a good bat good glove outfielder for Bradley?
-
The only way the teams meet in the ALCS is if one team is the Wild Card and the other is the #2 or #3 seed...
-
Actually according to yourteamcheats.com, the New York Jets cheat more often than any other NFL team. This is largely ignored because, despite all the cheating, the Jets still suck...

When fans say the Sox overpaid for Kimbrel, they mean the Sox gave up too many prospects...,
-
Or to vilify Lucchino. But it was always less supported and more about what some people wanted to believe. He was probably instrumental in a bad move here and there. But he was not likely as bad as the universal scapegoat he is portrayed to be...
-
That seems to be a good summary of what people think. But the guy worked in sports for decades. While he might not have been among the most knowledgeable sports executives, he was very likely much brighter on the subject than many give him credit for being...
-
I think a big factor was always that Lucchino spoke about himself as more of a businessman than a sorts guy and fans leapt to the conclusion everything with him was financial and it did make him look unlikeable. But the guy worked for sports franchises for his entire career and probably enjoyed the winning teams as much as we did. And he certainly knew more about sports than any of us...
-
A big part is that fans overvalue closers. Kimbrel has been great, but at the time the Sox has bigger issues in the rotation and spending valuable trade chips on a closer (and picking up the entire contract to boot) was not necessarily the best use of his resources...
-
And then became of soft-tossing lefty for the last 18 years of his career. I’m not saying Kent is a future all star. He’s a minor leaguer doing a better job than many realize solely because he doesn’t fit the mold of what many fans and scouts want from young players. For pitchers, that means radar gun readings. Well there are no strong set of minimum standards to make the majors. The odds were always stacked against Kent anyway, but maybe he can still get there.

That’s what I was telling Jamie Moyer just the other day...
