  1. Exactly. If Damon stayed, where was he going to play?
  2. Not to mention his pit stop in Toronto in between Boston and New York…
  3. True, but nothing was worse than seeing Dwight Evans in an Oriole uniform…
  4. Team hovered around .500 and kept finishing near (but never at) the bottom of the AL East, but we did see a brighter future coming up with young players like Hurst, Clemens and Boggs…
  5. By that logic, the Yankees will be retiring Luis Sojo’s number next. Make that numbers. He wore a few in the Bronx…
  6. Per BTV, that would cost the Sox Verdugo and Yorke, with enough room for Boston to still sweeten the pot a little. I like Verdugo, but I make that trade. It might be tough on the Guardians’ front office PR wise…
  7. And once both sides agree, it will be business as usual…
  8. The draft history on soxprospects.com is probably the best method, but it doesn’t cover any international free agent signings…
  9. The really dumb part of all this is almost immediately after spending weeks trying to limit spending and controlling player salaries and team payroll, and both sides finally agree, some team owner is going to approve a 10 year $350mill deal for Carlos Correa…
  10. Wasn’t that already shot down?
  11. You do seem to be spending more time targeting the players. I have no sympathy for either side, but comparing the MLB players’ jobs to that of Joe Lunch Pail is never going to lead to resolution, and probably not even to relevant commentary…
  12. Not important factors in determining salary. EMTs are probably the most important and criminally underpaid workers out there. But if they held out for a $775,000 minimum wage, what do you think would happen? (Hint: Not that raise.)
  13. I didn’t feel like doing that review. I also suspect if pressed to name the 15, few would get more than 10 right. It’s a very unpredictable field…
  14. And if the owner’s don’t like the cost of running a team, then they should go invest in something else…
  15. Most average working stiffs are not among the top 800 people in the world at their job…
  16. It might be that high, and it helps that I didn’t specify that anyone get that full season in Boston (which was intentional)…
  17. Higher than I would have guessed. Some will have the talent but just never stay healthy enough to accrue a full year. I was thinking 12-15 tops…
  18. And you have to establish yourself as one of the best 776 people in the world at your job…
  19. Probably. And he probably never reaches that ceiling. How many players currently in the Sox farm system will even get a full year of service time?
  20. I think Henry Ford said the same thing during the early days of the UAW…
  21. Hey my assessment of Howlett was always “career minor leaguer”…
  22. I don’t know. I will raise hypotheticals, but I am not authorized to speak for the MLBPA…
  23. Unless for some reason that’s more important to them than we realize…
  24. So… like The English Patient..
  25. We live in a time of binge-watching an entire season of a series in one weekend. I don’t believe fans are also craving shorter movies. If it works for them and they find it entertaining, people will watch no matter how long it takes…
