  1. Most common move in 2020 was NYC to Boise. Telecommuting made it possible, and the tax differences/cost of living was reportedly immense
  2. Can we stop pretending we missed out on Lugo? During the 15 minutes the Sox were connected to him, no one was excited. Had the Sox signed, only Mrs. Lugo might be thrilled. I can promise there would have been threads about how we settled for him. But now we missed out? I’d rather have most of the available top 50 starters over Lugo…
  3. Why? What’s punting do?
  4. Has there been any speculation on who is? There are so many to free agents with little to no buzz surrounding them…
  5. They choose on financial consider, one of which is taxes…
  6. Montgomery of going to get way more that that. Even MLBTR projected 6/$150mill, and they’ve been under on most free agents so far…
  7. “Poverty is a choice!!”
  8. Thinking Hernandez job will be to free up outfielders for a pitching trade. Most likely Duran or Rafaela. Just a theory…
  9. The need for a specific LHRP died painfully with the 3 batter minimum rule. Just get good relievers capable of getting anyone out…
  10. Like I’ve been saying for a year now?
  11. Wacha is more bargain basement. I’d take Manaea over Wacha. Pass on Lugo. He’s a top tier reliever turned acceptable starter with unknown durability…
  12. For a lot of people, property taxes are more than 4-5% of their income, too…
  13. That’s because so far they’ve only missed out on Sonny Gray. Ohtani and Yamamoto struck me as pipe dreams. And very risky ones at that. I was never high on Nola, but he clearly preferred to stay in Philly. So… just Gray, who I was high on. Everyone else is still out there. Unless you really like Wacha, who, if he were unsigned and on my list, would you still call it punting?
  14. Pass on Paxton. I’d prefer my list of Wretched Refuse that will show up for work…
  15. Interesting. Four is very risky. The Sox knew this Two is worth it. Three is the troubling middle spot…
  16. Unless I’m right and there is something in those players that is better than you realize. Manaea was lights out through August/September in bulk relief/starter roles using multiple metrics. Keller has some topflight velocity someone needs to help straighten out. Like maybe someone who fixed Gausman. Chirinos was a solid pitcher prior to TJ. Urena is someone I’ve always felt should not be starting, but he has an elite arm. Fujinami throws 100mph. Nothing there? Not every player in MLB is going to be a call Star, but they all are among the 780 best players in the world. And any elite talent can shine in that environment…
  17. His velocity dipped mid-2022 but then rebounded. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/corey-kluber/2429/graphs?pitchgraphs=true&statArr=&legend=1&split=base&time=daily&start=2021&end=2023&rtype=mult&gt1=15&dStatArray=SI&ymin=&ymax=
  18. How many years of Nate were being talked about?
  19. Snell is the ultimate Boom or Bust pitcher…
  20. The lottery makes punting even more pointless than it was in 2021…
  21. That wasn’t the part that was missing. (Hint: most likely what would be missing is Paxton in June, July and August.)
  22. I’d amend my statement that I’d greatly prefer Manaea over the increasingly fragile Paxton. Possibly Keller, too. Assuming Bailey can harness that rather lively arm…
  23. You can get arrested for that in some states…
  24. I’d definitely prefer Paxton, but you’re rounding up if you think you get him for a year…
  25. What exactly is the benefit? Besides saving money? Greater chances in the draft lottery that might help the 2028 team?
