JBJ is batting right-handed now? Or do you want Renfroe back?
-
See? It's only getting better and better. Meanwhile, Hunter Renfroe has played on 12 teams since that trade, and all that traveling must have been pretty rough since he is on the IL...
-
Aaron or Mike?
-
People said that about the Bradley/Renfroe trade until last week. Now Hamilton has people re-thinking that deal...
-
They are. And it's not my fault...
-
It’s under. It only matters if you plan on adding payroll. Otherwise - $12mill under the cap is the same as $50mill under is the same as $1 under - no taxes. AAV only matters for luxury tax. If Boston were to trade Bello to Miami or Tampa or Oakland/Sacramento/Las Vegas, those teams wouldn’t care about his AAV. But they would certainly care about his salary, especially if that salary escalates year to year…

CC Wong? Isn’t that the guy from all those Jurassic Park movies?
-
Only when you’re at the tax limits. Teams is the mid to lower payroll tiers only care about salary, which is why they still backload contracts…

Per Soxprospects: Pivetta - $7.5mill Bello - $1mill Criswell - $1mill Houck - $770,000 Crawford - $760,000 The entire rotation makes $11.3mill, or slightly more than the Cardinals are paying the mediocre Lance Lynn. And far less than the Red Sox are paying Lucas Giolito…

I’d take Suarez… -
But free agency isn’t always about production. There is a certain PR aspect to it when ownership sends a message to the fanbase that money will NOT be an obstacle this season. Of course, the reality might be “we will pay $20mill to Player X in hopes that it leads to the fanbase throwing $30mill plus back our way.”
-
Hamilton is on a hot streak. So far, it’s only been 85 PA with a .963 OPS. But don’t forget, only 85 PA ago, his OPS was .563 and he looked like DFA material. As for the OF, assuming the Sox hold on to the one outfielder they extended (Rafaela), it looks like they would be moving a LHH corner OF…

If they’re not considering trading them, how do we know what they’re expecting in return?
-
The weird part is you complain after the win…

Hamilton doing everything he can to make that Bradley trade look good… -
Shane Drohan is back.
-
Or keep Mayer in the minors until Bichette reaches free agency in a year. Of course there is still that Grissom fellow…
-
That’s not why they took it away in 1935. This ambiguity’s on me, as I wasn’t specific about which time…
-
So they took it away? Wow. Probably because the first All Star game was supposed to be the only one, but the rules changed when it became an annual thing. But when did the “every team represented” stuff start?
-
And given the Sox would only control Bichette for 1.5 years, is it worth it? Also who takes over right field? Refsnyder is really not a guy we want to see getting 450-500 PA in a season…
-
They walk from Hamilton, however…
-
To revisit, this is only true when coupled with expansions, since getting at least one player from 8 teams probably wasn’t so tough. Of course, MLB has countered this by adjusting the roster size. Right now it stands at 32 players per side, which is plenty for one freakin’ game..
-
Not sure when that rule got added, but fan voting has been around since 1933, so it was always up to them to set the starting lineup. Of course, they only had 8 teams per league to choose from until 1961, so it probably wasn’t too hard to get at least one player from every team…
-
I don’t touch that deal for Abreu. Especially given the Sox shortstop and RF situations…

6/11 Phillies @ SOX 7:10PM ET
notin replied to Bellhorn04's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Too cheap to pay Betts - yes. But Schwarber? Was he supposed to tip that ludicrous offer the Phillies made to get a backup DH with no defensive skills whatsoever? Sure they could have buried him at 1b and hoped it worked out. But given that Schwarber was a low 2 bWAR player who had been non-tendered the previous offseason, I can understand not topping a 4-year $80mill contract…
