    Which is why I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a work stoppage at/during the next CBA.
  2. S5Dewey
    Right. Mookie has never made any bones about his desire to hit Free Agency. It's possible that the only thing Price brought to the table in this trade was a better return... which we're paying a portion of his salary for. But I believe the return for Betts would have been less had it not been for Price. We're essentially paying ~$15M for that return but it's the best deal we could get.

    Then he's a JBJ clone. $$-wise there's no point in replacing JBJ with him but he sounds like a nice candidate for RF. He's Mookie minus the offense but $20M cheaper. Or.. he might be trade bait for a team looking for an outstanding defensive OF'er.

    And then he may depart LA too, leaving behind a whole bunch of unhappy kids with shirts they won't wear. This is why many of us are saying that money is ruining the future of MLB.
  5. S5Dewey
    And the Dodgers keep proving that the playoffs are somewhat of a crap shoot.
  6. S5Dewey
    ...And MLB wonders why kids are feeling disenfranchised by the sport. Ugh. Things like this make them lose interest.

    ...Evans, Pesky, Lowell, Smoltz (because he was a lock for the Hall), Yaz, Williams. I've edited this thing twice now to keep adding names! How many of those things do I have, anyway?? LOL
  8. S5Dewey
    I hadn't thought of it that way but you're (almost) right. However, we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that we'd be looking to move Mookie this year anyway since he's been adamant all along that he was going to try Free Agency.
  9. S5Dewey
    I'm telling ya, they're not going to dump JBJ. They held onto him until the situation with Mookie got settled knowing that they'd part with one of them and keep the other. Now that Mookie is gone they're not going to completely decimate that outfield with nobody in the minors to fill his spot.
  10. S5Dewey
    So for LT purposes he has essentially the same effect as JBJ - only he'd be getting more money than JBJ with an OPS about .035 higher. I haven't seen him play so I can't rate his defense but could he be an option for RF for a team that's not going anyplace anyway?
  11. S5Dewey
    What?? Are you saying a computer was WRONG???
  12. S5Dewey
    Doesn't that make his entire salary subject to the LT though?
  13. S5Dewey
    OOps. But do I get some points for saying you were a part of changing my mind?
  14. S5Dewey
    Absolutely true. Most of us thought Pedroia was the greatest thing since sliced bread before he got injured. Now they can't wait to cut him loose. "What have you done for me LATELY?"
  15. S5Dewey
    I'm of the opinion that if they don't sign Brock Hold they're going to regret it sooner or later. Assuming they have any interest in winning, that is.
  16. S5Dewey
    All of these moves are being done so we can promote the entire Pawsox club to Boston with the exception of the RF'er. Then we can afford Mookie!
  17. S5Dewey
    Literally...LOL here!!!!!
  18. S5Dewey
    While you're busily having MLB bubble-wrapping the WS trophy in preparation for it being sent to NY remember^^ that^^ is exactly what the Sox were saying three years ago. Things change... rapidly sometimes.. due to completely unforeseen things happening.
  19. S5Dewey
    Yes. That's the unknown in all of this. If they make some dramatic changes in the LT limits in the CBT Mookie may be more affordable after all. The bad news is that he'll also be more affordable to other teams too... but that's another story.
  20. S5Dewey
    Only because it's worth reading. LOLOL
  21. S5Dewey
    The clincher in ^that^ was "if the idea was to stay highly competitive for several more years". No, that wasn't going to happen. We weren't going to be able to keep him for 2020 and be highly competitive in the future too. However, I did explore the idea of keeping Mookie & Price for one more year to make a last-gasp run at a successful season in 2020. While that's something I could have lived with I have to acknowledge that what's happened was the smarter thing to have done. Again, what you want vs. what you need. Ugh.
  22. S5Dewey
    And do what with Benintendi? PLEASE don't suggest moving Beni to CF or RF. Have you forgotten how bad he is in CF??
  23. S5Dewey
    Mookie & I aren't drinkin' buds or anything but I'd be surprised if he signs anything involving an extension. He's said ever since Day #1 that he wants to test the FA market. He may believe that whatever the Dodgers offer is the minimum he'll have to sign for so why not go for all of it? Also... I'm not sure the Sox want to - or should - sign him for what he wants. He's a great player but it will hamstring the financial end of the team for the duration of his contract. If JH has a spending limit - and he's shown that he does - we could end up being the A's.
  24. S5Dewey
    She'll never notice. :-)
  25. S5Dewey
    Not at all. He's just making one of the best posts he's ever seen as a part of his normal posting.
