  1. You do realize that you’re one of the people he’s referring to, right? The joining date isn’t really the factor…
  2. I was talking about Montero, Fulmer and Treinen before that. I stopped mentioning Treinen as he had both an option and an injury…
  3. That works. A lot of people don’t know this, but they’re the same person. And if you think about it, I bet you’ve never seen them together…
  4. I may only be 5’7”, but I read at the 6’3” level…
  5. I believe the idea here isn’t to unclog the logjam but rather to find a way to get some starting pitching that isn’t already over 30 and adding for 8 figures annually…
  6. Presumably. I imagine Mayer would speak to every team…
  7. The 7 years part would make me very hesitant…
  8. If the Sox go big at shortstop, I could certainly see Jimmy Swanson as a candidate. I do wonder if that makes Mayer available for pitching…
  9. You certainly watched more Yankee games than me, but I’ve always liked IKF as a player…
  10. Big deal. How many of them thought Jeter was a good defender? If the Sox aren’t going big at SS, IKF is a terrific candidate…
  11. Getting IKF would not have been“wrong.” The Yankees wanted a one year stopgap to Peraza/Volpe. He did exactly that. Now it comes down to whether or not he has a future with NY. If the Yankees go with 2b - Peraza, SS - Volpe, 3b - Torres, do they need him? Especially with Lamahieu trying to fit in somewhere?
  12. He’s a good defensive SS. If the Sox are looking for a one year stopgap to Mayer, they could do a lot worse. And at the very least, it would stop him from absolutely thumping our pitching staff…
  13. So does this mean the Yankees are planning on non-tendering IKF?
  14. I don’t agree with this idea as a plan, but I do agree it likely will happen. And for the record, I am not jealous mvp put it out there and I definitely did NOT put a curse on his phone keyboard that will always auto correct “Houck” to be replaced by “Lady Gaga”….
  15. Jealousy? I think we already established I’m the more handsome poster…
  16. I don’t see the Yankees commuting $570mill to two shortstops, and blocking their top two prospects, while also counting on two of-injured corner outfielders with minimal playing time over the past two seasons…
  17. I don’t see the Yankees commuting $570mill to two shortstops, and blocking their top two prospects, while also counting on two of-injured corner outfielders with minimal playing time over the past two seasons…
  18. Look at the bright side. You can still be happy when they fire him…
  19. I’m sticking with it. If they try to upgrade, I’m certainly fine with that…
  20. Oh oh! You tried to clarify Old Red! He hates that! Of course he has no issue making straw man arguments out of other people’s opinions…
  21. You suggested trading everyone last of season…
  22. I hope they sign a few capable arms. I’ve been recommending Fulmer and Montero for weeks (not sure to who).
  23. Here is the thing. It doesn’t matter what you or I would do, or if you or I like or don’t like Houck in that role. Somebody in the Sox organization does. They gave him a chance. He really did nothing to ruin it. Safe bet that if he’s healthy, it’s his job to lose. No prediction on if he loses it…
  24. That bullpen flopped but it’sa safe bet they know who the closer is, assuming he’s healthy. They have Houck the chance and he didn’t do anything to lose it except need back surgery. Of course that might be enough to lose it. But that’s nothing anyone knows right now…
  25. Still wondering how Duran has that much value. Speed should be something teams are looking for. But speed combined with limited offense and no defense won’t be any sort of hot commodity…
