2019 ALCS: Houston Astros vs New York Yankees
OH FOY replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Other Baseball
Verlander tonight going for the kill. And he pitches good in cold weather. -
Growing up, guys like JBJ were giving a chance to get consistency at the Major League level. Once Teams evaluated, that his best Talent is Defense and not hitting, most used them as Defensive Replacements, to hold onto leads. They took their chances early innings, with Offense, to get the leads.
-
32 was his last season he played full time. See where I'm getting at.
-
JBJ had 155 K's in 494 AB's. Wonder how many Men left on Base this left during season, but Hey swing for the Fences. Launch angle and Exit velocity, more important then making contact. And maybe letting a Fielder, have a chance at an error. Analytics.
-
Bradley will be 30 in April. Paul Blair at 30, hit .261 with 17 HRS, 62 RBI's, and 27 SB's, scored 77 runs, and won a Gold Glove. One of the greatest Defensive CF's ever. If JBJ can do this, or project this, sure sign him.

Jim Hickey. Pitching Coach from 2007-2017. He was huge with those Young arms. His philosophy was perfect the Change-up.

That's the thing about those long term contracts, you have to perform, year after year, for almost the entire contract for it to be worth it. Its hard, baseball is a tough game to be consistent. One or 2 injuries, and long time on the IR kills it. You have to play. All the odds are against you on long term deals. Anything 5 years plus after the Age of 29. 10 year contract work, if the Player is say 23, and its over when his best days are behind him. Betts just turned 27, he'll be 28 when he is a FA, too old at that time for a 10 year contract. You will hopefully get 5 very good years, maybe. Then contract catches up to the team. 5 years at huge money for a declining player. That blocks others to play his position. Always the DH I Guess, if your still hitting good.

Seam McAdam had a long column, in which he calculated everything. Including the LOW end of arbitration money, and says we will be 10 million over the Cap, just staying put, with No Free Agents. And letting go guys like Leon, and others.
-
Jim Hickey this guy is one of the best. https://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/cubs/ct-spt-cubs-jim-hickey-20181120-story.html

You think the Sox should talk to the Twins about Byron Buxton? Maybe a change of scenery, just as good as JBJ in CF.
-
See if Jim Hickey is available as Pitching Coach.
-
Frank Robinson to JD Martinez-OK. By the time FR was 25 he hit 202 HRS. Take that back about Park, wasn't that bad. Thinking of another. JD 34.
-
Good win on the Road last night for the Bruins. Coyle looked great. Turned out to be a great Trade.
-
I'm getting to like Kevin Cash more and more as a Manager. He really thinks out a game.
-
Agree with this 100%.
-
NFL many use Sportrac. I like Over the Cap myself. Mostly quick reference, keep forgetting about Cots. So yeah your probably right.
-
I can see the Astros moving Springer.
-
Here's Sportstrac on the Astros. https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/houston-astros/payroll/2020/

Here's 2021 Payroll at this time, for all the teams. https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/payroll/2021/

Agreed, The Astros and the Dodgers are going to be good for a while, they will have money to spend and Strong Farms. You can do both if you have smart people running Operations. Spending without building is going to catch you in the end. Garritt Cole will probably walk and the Astros will let him because someone in the Farm, will just come up.
-
Here's something Seam McAdam said, Betts (30 million), JBJ, E-Rod, Benni, Workman, Barnes, will take the Sox over 200 million, and only represent about half of teams 25 man's projected Roster. I keep saying 2021 is not going to be easy too, unless you unload now.
-
Too bad too, he was important to this Offense.
-
I think Sox Ownership wants him to Opt out, or hopes he does. Reason counting JD's 23.75 million, and estimated cost of some 40 man Roster Players Cost and Benefits, the Sox are committed to about 151 million for 2020.
-
Yep with a 121.5 million dollar payroll.
-
Just thinking 108 wins and 84 wins, averages to 96 wins, if this was the case this year the Sox wouldn't have made the Play-offs, Tampa won the tie breaker.
