Anything to ever admit you were wrong.

Irrelevant, I suppose you forgot our conversation at the start of free agency that the Sox needed to sign starting pitch soon because if they waited the prices would go higher.

Valdez

Now do Snell.

RAFAELA is going to make a lot of plays in centerfield that a lot of center fielders aren’t going to make.
-
Well according to you if we signed Montgomery months ago we would have paid a lot less for him. Of course….we are paying much less for him now. $0!!!
-
If he can stay healthy in the rotation, Whitlock might be the biggest surprise on this team. He’s throwing 4 plus pitches tonight, looking really good.
-
Allegedly made improvements to his cutter and curveball in second half, his 3.44 era supports that. Not that this is one to get anyone excited. I think this means someone is definitely starting the year on the IL.
-
Why would Ohtani be suspended or fined? Unless of course he was involved, and perhaps I'm missing something here but by all accounts he was not. I'll take the under on everything.

If he's pocketing it because they're making more money by not spending money then you're justifying not spending money to make more money. Yet, there are plenty of franchises that make more money by spending more money. I think Henry is just legit suffering from PTSD after the David Price signing plus draft Ball/Groome and is just allergic to spending money or drafting pitchers.

I know the minor league reserve list went from 180 down to 165 but was that this year or did that start last year???
-
That's right, I had forgotten about that. Still, that movie is a classic, I think I may rewatch it tonight.
-
Do people truly believe Henry wants the team to tank and lose on purpose so he can sell the team? This isn't a Charlie Sheen movie, that logic makes zero sense.

Didn't he turn down 150/6 from the Yankees? This might be conjecture, but I feel Montgomery might not get another chance at a payday like Snell might if he performs and opts out. If there's something out there in the 90-95/5 range I wonder if he just takes out, maybe the contract can have some vesting options at the tail end of it to get him in the 140-145 range if he performs which would be close to his original asking price. I don't think the Sox should up their anti, if anything they should be more reserved going after these big guys on this current team, but I'd still sign him for whatever deal you were willing to sign him to prior. You have your evaluations, and if you have some faith in them and some conviction.....just go do that.

How about sunrise and sunset where we see vivid reflections of tangerine, magenta and all kinds of shades of grey. Light is pretty awesome.

Rafaela only got 282 at bats above AA last year. We've seen the "but he looks so good in spring training" mantra before with guys like JBJ. If he's truly ready, a month in AAA isn't going to stunt his growth, it's not like he still doesn't have things to work on. Getting the extra year of team control is just a plus, and one I wouldn't even consider if the team was confident he was ready and he plugged up a big hole and the team looked prime to compete, but they do not. It makes all the sense in the world to give him a month down in AAA.

1. Yankees 95 wins 2. Orioles 94 wins 3. Jays 86 wins 4. Rays 84 wins 5. Red Sox 79 wins Orioles are loaded, but have some growing pains, Yankees are primed to climb back to the top, Jays and Rays are still good but their windows are closing and they take a step back this year leaving room for the Sox to finish as high as 3rd place if everything breaks right, which rarely happens.
-
So we should spend money now so we can pay Jordan from ages 32 and on when the team is good again? Why not just sign younger and better players in a year or two? Or extend our own players now to save money later?
-
This becomes true if you believe in building thru free agency alone. A lot of people agree with that sentiment, it’s not about not spending, it’s about timing. This isn’t exactly the time to go big. If I was the Sox I’d stand my ground, and be willing to accept Montgomery on our terms.
-
At this point an upgrade to the rotation would be like making home improvements right before the bank repos your home This team is weak.
-
That was exactly my point, they should have some conviction in their evaluations of pitchers. I still think we shouldn't underestimate the hardship of literally having to reach far back into your AAA depth and what it can do to the team/bullpen
-
There goes our hopes of making the playoffs

Bad ideal for two reasons. First one is more conjecture on my part but I think contrary to the norm, Pivetta may hold more value at the deadline. If his uptick is real, then he’ll have 2/3 of a season like that under his belt. Up until now he’s never been terribly good, just consistent. Secondly, even if you don’t plan on competing this year you need innings. The rotation is thin, if you trade Pivetta you have Bello Crawford Houck Whitlock Winck You know there’s at least two guy on the depth chart getting a decent amount of starts, so that means Criswell, Murphy, and Johnson are starting games. The rotation could easily be horrible.
