    Rico kind of gets lost in Sox lore, along with Vern Stephens…

    In Philly, they booed Santa Claus. But the untold part of that was because he had just sold Blitzen to Hillshire Farms…

    Heard what from guys at the club? Which, by the way, sounds like another unimpeachable source…

    None of that team press conference BS. Why bother when there’s sensationalistic talk radio opinions floating out there looking for ears to land in?

    Better yet, move the infield. Put home plate where second base is and just push everything else forward. Put the mound 60 feet out there in CF. First benefit is lots more home runs. Second one is crazier wild pitches with 150 feet between home plate and the screen. Batters could easily circle the bases and score on a dropped third strike

    And put the Monster 15 feet behind the infield dirt!

    For a pitcher, sometimes it’s all just one strained ligament away…

    You must have HATED Yaz, that old man in his 40s propping himself up at the plate, looking like he would be given a walker if he ever got to 1b…

    That Schwarber took off was sort of an unknown, by which I mean a complete unknown. After 2021, Schwarber was 28 with a career OPS of .836 (119 OPS+) Dalbec was 26 with a career OPS of .819 (114 OPS+) I don’t know how much that all mattered to the Sox FO. But there were similarities at the time. Dalbec’s sample was much smaller for a guy only 2 years younger, which would have also been taken into account…

    So not insider stuff? Not that Schwarber’s was a star back in 2021, which was a career year for him at the time. But he was non-tendered by the Cubs to start the year. And the reason the Sox acquired him in the first place was to replace Dalbec at 1b. The presence of JD Martínez was more likely a factor in not re-signing Schwarber…

    And where did you hear that?
  12. notin
    Maybe, but Philly cutting payroll probably means Nola, Realmuto and Brad Keller are on the block more so than Schwarber…
  13. notin
    It probably does mean he was more valuable than the rest of that bullpen. Stop dissing Stanley. His legacy might be tied to those two losses Bellhorn mentioned but he really was an excellent relief pitcher for the Sox in an era where bullpens were often undersized, overworked and disregarded…

    I viewed Schwarber and Alonso together as an unrealistic target. Do people still think Breslow (and Henry) were going to outbid Dombrowski? And why is this part of a 2027 thread? No one fixes mistakes going forward by wishing the past was different, (Not that anything done on this forum will fix, or even influence, the Sox going forward.)

    Probably. But most career win record holders also hold loss records. Cy Young, for example…

    That he’s among the wealthiest janitors in BK history?
  17. notin
    It’s still a record. Are saves so important to you? “Yea! He got 3 outs without giving up 3 runs!! What an accomplishment!!”
  18. notin
    And just being over 33 and declining…
  19. notin
    You know, he did make over $30million in his career as a reliever…

    The Dodgers are not normally a team to decline starting talent if they already have starters. But not sure OF deoth is a concern. Teoscar, Pages and Tucker all return next season. Plus they have two BA top 25 prospects in Josue De Paula and Mike Sirota that are both ready to step in. And not really sure how any team views Duran right now. Sure, teams will want him. But at what price?
  21. notin
    And then never again…
  22. notin
    But appearances, relief IP, wins as a reliever - career and single season (assuming his 14 relief wins stands up plus he had 12 more in 1982) heck, getting that many relief wins without setting the blown save record and vulturing them is impressive…
  23. notin
    I cleaned out my garage last week. I threw out an old Ray Burgos, a broken down Seth Martínez and a Joe La Sorsa that never worked in the first place. But no Sean Newcombs …
  24. notin
    Stanley holds pretty much every team record for relief pitching…
  25. notin
    He looks like a fat Snidely Whiplash
