  1. When not talking about closers, clutch and Dombrowski, you present many viewpoints I agree with…
  2. MLBTR predicted 5 years $55million. And with the exception of Marcus Stroman, they’ve been surprisingly accurate…
  3. There are plenty of facts; there just aren’t any to support your viewpoint…
  4. And really what many are omitting is MLB was testing for performance-enhancing drugs, but the testing also included checks for substances that were not banned by MLB. Even if Ortiz actually did test positive, it’s very possible that what he tested positive for was perfectly legal. You can’t cheat if you’re not breaking the rules…
  5. Not to mention, the “list” didn’t come from any testing source or from MLB. Ortiz’ name was added by a writer from The New York Times…
  6. Mariners…
  7. I know it’s sarcasm, but I’m willing to bet that’s still the first time in the history of the English language that all words were strung together…
  8. But.. but… but… Jeff and Elon and Richard all have rockets!! All I have is this airplane! You just don’t get rich people problems, do you?
  9. Whoa!!! The Austin Lambright?!?
  10. RHP Taylor Cole OF Izzy Wilson OF Johan Mieses (re-signed) 2b Claudio Simon Util Rob Refsnyder
  11. Yankees should target IKF. He’s a very good player with no place to play in Texas. (He also absolutely crushed Sox pitching last year with a 1.314 OPS.) Yankees have several options viewed as equal on BTV, and Texas might bite at any one of them…
  12. Bloom asleep at the wheel again…
  13. Kimbrel won’t help the bullpen if he pitches like he did for the White Sox…
  14. BN I’m not so sure. The QB/WR relationship only results in maybe 10-15 plays in a game at its biggest. And sometimes less than 5 plays. Pitchers throw to catchers upwards of 100 times very frequently. The real difference is in the ensuing action. A QB/WR relationship is viewed as successful with every completion, as these ultimately drive the ball down enter field. But the pitcher-catcher relationship actually works best when the ball isn’t put in play, or is put in play weakly. The lack of ensuing action often makes the relationship look rather bland and uneventful and therefore inconsequential. But, unlike wide receivers, catchers are far more involved in the action, frequently calling pitch sequences for both type of pitch and location. Wide receivers have no such equivalent input…
  15. Wasn’t RHP Rick Reed also a strikebreaker? In Sox lore, I believe then-Met Reed was the first pitcher to launch Carl Everett into an on-field tantrum in a Sox uniform and thus starting his meteoric descent with the team. Am I remembering anything wrong here?
  16. Whoops. Those were Rusney’s stats…
  17. Guilty. Overall, who was the better left fielder? Yaz or Williams? (I left Williams out because I wasn’t using anyone mvp picked, which was my choice.)
  18. The only rule was one player per decade. Not re-using names was my own unofficial addition…
  19. Surprised no other entries 40s Birdie Tebbetts C 50s Jimmy Piersall CF 60s Frank Malzone 3b 70s Jim Rice LF 80s Don Baylor DH 90s Trot Nixon RF 00s Mark Loretta 2b 10s Mike Napoli 1b 20s Xander Bogaerts SS I challenge any of you to make a better one…
  20. It was a sequel to the first slasher movie “1904”…
  21. Well, back in 1994 they made a different version of the movie…
  22. He also projects for 24 DRS in 1200 innings in the field. Bradley never topped 16 DRS in any season. Can you live with a .600 OPS with that type of defense?
  23. 40s DiMaggio CF 50s Jensen RF 60s Yastrzemski LF 70s Burleson SS 80s Boggs 3b 90s Pedroia 2b 00s Varitek C 10s Martinez DH 20s Casas 1b I didn’t want to repeat any of your players. The 20s is a bit of a projection, I assume, given that the team has only played 220 games so far…
  24. I imagine the fact that JBJ couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a boat back then also figured into it. It was also about that time the Sox moved Betts to the outfield, originally in center. So was it about “not losing out”? Or about finding a CF? Or maybe both?
  25. Either the other team wanted the Sox to pay a huge chunk or take a bad (possibly worse) contract back…
