    I know it’s hard for some to believe on here, but everything that Bloom has done that hasn’t turned out good you can’t blame on JH, or even DD for that matter.
  2. Old Red
    But his deals were. I know you liked the JBJ deal, but that deal was DOA.
  3. Old Red
    Another feel good story. Makes me feel better we didn’t lose 90 games last year.
  4. Old Red
    Definitely NO on #1. Possible on #2, and most likely #3, and #4.
  5. Old Red
    I think McAdams is one of the most trusted ones.

    Over dramatized as usual, and yes the Red Sox would have had their beloved stars. You finally understand what a lot of fans have been saying. What I don’t hear them saying is that oh boy the farm system is ranked higher now. Different strokes for different folks.

    The Red Sox were always a day late, and a dollar short with Mookie. By the time they offered $200M it had gone up to $300M, and by the time they offered him $300M it had gone up to $400M.

    Good luck with that. He’s used it more than once that I KNOW about.

    Two possible answers that are pretty much the same they are so incompetent they didn’t know any better, or the are just spinning, and grinning, and still being incompetent.
  10. Old Red
    JH should have just ponied up, and signed Mookie, Bogey, and Raffy, and then sold the team to someone who wants to really play ball. That would have done a lot more to ease the tension.
  11. Old Red
    No gaffe at all. I know what I was saying, and the ridiculous DH statement was not long ago. Just because you like to play gotcha it works both ways.
  12. Old Red
    For someone who can’t figure out why it’s not the same thing to lose Pedro, or Boggs as it is to lose Mookie, Bogey, and Raffy for the fans when it was pretty clear in the first place, and others even tried to point it out to you, and you still don’t get, and you want to say something about others.
  13. Old Red
    Go back to your conspiracy theory like the Red Sox are going to make Raffy a DH, so they can hold the asking price down on a new contract. Ridiculous! Holding the asking price down on Raffy ship has sailed.
  14. Old Red
    I would say Bloom’s name gets mentioned more than anyone else on here, there, and everywhere. Lots of first, and last names too.
  15. Old Red
    Everyone in the universe knows who signed Frail to the extension, and anyone being cheap wasn’t the point. Old, and injured was, and Frail is as old, and injured as you can get.
  16. Old Red
    Never heard that, but I did hear Mookie, Bogey, and Raffy’s name.
  17. Old Red
    I didn’t want any of the above, and that includes Pax, and Frail.
  18. Old Red
    Already did with Pax, and Frail.
  19. Old Red
    The Dodgers WH that trade off.
  20. Old Red
    Very well said. I’ve always been against 10/yr $300M+ contracts, but that’s the game that is played today, and if you don’t want to play that way you will lose out in more ways than one.

    To me the best way to build a #1 system is to keep homegrown future HOF performers who have proven they can produce, and win in Boston. Something like Mookie, Betts, and Raffy, and NO Boston fans don’t have the patience to do any kind of rebuilds, and shouldn’t have to. A big market, high payroll team should be a competitive, winning team every year, and anything else is a failure. Like this last year when Kennedy said himself, Bloom, and Cora all failed.
  22. Old Red
    Good article in the Athletic today by Ken Rosenthal on the Red Sox, and Henry/Bloom. One thing Kennedy did say was that the best way to make fans happy is to win a WS, and not build the #1 system.
  23. Old Red
    There is also a big difference I believe in a homegrown talent that fans had heard about in the minors, and watched them come up, and in some cases grow up like Bogey. Some just don’t get that for some reason.
  24. Old Red
    I don’t think there is any plans if it’s so called master, or not to make Devers the full time DH anytime soon, and especially for those reasons.
  25. Old Red
    Boggs, and Clemens were not all that popular when they left compared to Mookie, and Bogey.
