    Mitch would have a pulled hamstring first time he THOUGHT about getting a good jump....as President would say, C'mon, Bloom.
  2. Nick
    Lets' look at it in total context.... With pandemic and shortened sixty game season, I really had no problem Sox having one of worst season in memory. We had no shot at the world series or getting into the playoffs. Bright side was that we were rewarded with a fourth pick in each round (I'm guessing on rounds 2 and below). I really don't see any problem going over the limit and resetting our 'budget' as $228M. The penalty is measly $4M. I'm impressed with Bloom always garnering additional players, younger players in each trade he makes. Our farm system is getting restocked and I believe that will continue. As long as there are no long term deals, I'm really good with it. Sooooo, according to Cot's, we still have $28M to spend (plus $4M in penalty). Spend away....just no 5 year, $100M deals or bigger. (exceptions can be made by this board)

    Ottavino (via trade) and Renfro are only one year deals I see. Others have club options attached. It's possible Bloom is monitoring our younger players to see if there are developments this year leading to 2022 promotion.

    I was half kidding. For some reason Jacksonianmarch wanted to make a point about something. It went over my head.....
  5. Nick
    Not sure why the Sox would be laughing stock.....

    Contracts coming up E Rod after 2021 Richards possibly being let go after 2021 Eovaldi after 2022 Sign him up....
  7. Nick
    My only question is who was the idiot that left a reliever on the mound without recording an out while giving up 6 earned runs? I would love to see Aaron Judge throw sidearm.
  8. Nick
    We're not signing JBJ....his agent's pride is at stake....
  9. Nick
    I think that may be very reasonable....especially not knowing how expensive E Rod extension will cost....we also potentially have a one year deal for Richards. I just didn't want to get to 5 year $100M. I just don't want to pay out $36M per year as the Yankees did for Cole, not to mention $26M for Stanton. They also have some expensive youngsters coming up. Yankees also have set a high bar for themselves. Nothing short of World Championship matters. Sox needs to pick a future major leaguer with their 4th pick! Lets not do another Trey Ball.
  10. Nick
    I'm good with signiing Odorizzi with the thought that E Rod will not return next year. But it still has to be reasonable. It can't be a long term deal with tons of $$$$.
  11. Nick
    Yep....
  12. Nick
    He was hired October 2019. Today is January 2021. At most he's been on the job for 14 months. He had to clean up the mess first. You must admit 2020 was unlike any other year. Isn't he doing what he's always done? Make the team inch forward each day. He's rebuilding the farm system and on paper we're much better team. He's not made any move to hamstring us. No albatross contracts given out yet much upside to them.
  13. Nick
    I didn't think of it but if we're out of contention, Ottavino can be flipped to a playoff contender for additional prospects later in the year.
  14. Nick
    I thought Eovaldi extension was justified. Contracts for both Sale and Porcello were coming due. Our 2019 SP rotation looked solid on paper. Sale, Porcello, E Rod, Eovaldi and Price. It's all behind us now. Look to the future. I really like this Bloom guy.
  15. Nick
    I'm just comfortable with one year deals...if all goes to hell, Richards won't be back in 22 and neither will Ottavino regardless.....same goes for Perez...
  16. Nick
    Player to be named later or cash..... What's a big deal....it's only money. We kept our farm system in tact. We also received Frank German, Yankees' #24 prospect. The guy had a stellar 2019. I think we got better. That's what it's about right? It's only a one year deal. Perfect. We got a starter, reliever and versatile 2B. Nothing given up right? I would trade Beni and sign Priller (?). I would give him away for $6M.
  17. Nick
    Bloom has never said he signed Richards for $10M to close. Posters make some comments about long shot possibility of Richards becoming a closer at some point and then we blame Bloom for spending $10M for a closer?
  18. Nick
    And 2 days later we have a second baseman and another starting pitcher......we should wait until 4/1 to bitch...(not at you...)
  19. Nick
    I'd be thrilled....
  20. Nick
    Cot's baseball now has posted Richard' contract in the mix.... Sox's competitive balance payroll now stands at $195.5M. We have little over $14M.....who can we buy?
  21. Nick
    Good point....he still has all three options.
  22. Nick
    Houck has 36 days accumulated. He needs 172 days or 136 days in 2021. Looks like there are 186 days available in 2021. We need to hold him off until May 22nd. Doable.
  23. Nick
    Can you see 2023 lineup of C Wong 1B Casas 2B Downs SS Xander 3B Devers/Dalbec LF Rosario CF Duran RF Verdugo DH Dalbec/Devers JD, Price, Eovaldi and their $55M comes off the books after 2022. That's on top of $13M for Dustin after 2021.
  24. Nick
    Maybe we can hold off calling him up later in the year and give the Sox six full years starting 2022. So we go with Eovaldi, Richards, E Rod, Pivetta and Perez? I'm not opposed to another starter. Will Porcello sign a one year deal?
  25. Nick
    It would be nice if couple of youngsters can step in for 2023 Mata, Houck, Seabold, Casas, Downs, Duran just to name a few.
