I do agree mostly, but if none the prospects you mentioned hadn’t gotten traded how many do you think would have made it with the Red Sox, and still been here? Speaking of prospects how did the Red Sox let Houston’s starting SS get out of their backyard from the U OF Maine?
-
You are right again. All pure speculation on your part.
-
They have survived quite well, but I don’t believe the Red Sox could do the same if Betts, Bogey, and Raffy are let go.
-
DD did make some blunders himself, but I agree, and Henry compounded things by hiring Bloom.
-
Some do.
-
Since when does anything on here stick to the subject that was started, and people don’t go off in all different directions, and expand many times over?
-
That may be true, but Margot probably would not have gotten all the chances to play that he got in San Diego at least for a few years anyway.
-
Both would help, but neither are any kind of difference maker.
-
Resigning Sale with a year to go on his contract with a bum left wing was a blunder many times over. I didn’t like the Evol signing at the time, but at least they got some production out of him. Even if the money had been equal I’m not so sure Betts would have stayed anyway.
-
I got the point, but I just don’t agree to the degree that you do. I don’t agree to the degree that you do that the Sox are like they are today, or have been after the 2018 season like you do, because of DD. To me this past season had more to do with injuries, and lack of production from certain players than how DD left the team. I do agree that the farm has not been that productive, but just not as a main reason for the lack of success.
-
What prospect did DD trade away that would have made a bigger difference today than who he was traded for at the time?
-
Correa’s contract would be bigger, and longer then I think the Red Sox would want to go, and I think that goes for Raffy too.
-
They were a losing team that got much better as the season went on, so call it what you want, but I doubt the Sox would have had the same success against them if they had played in Aug- Sept.
-
Right Correa will be more expensive than Bogey, so the Sox will land him instead, and then lock up Raffy at even more money.Wishful thinking, but not much of a reality.
-
The Mariners were a losing team 6-8 games under 500 when the Red Sox played them, and they got better later on in the season, where the Sox went the other way, so doesn’t show much more than that.
-
To bad the Astros didn’t.
-
The point is not if I can grasp your point, but if I want to, and at any rate you are on the losing side when it comes to the shift, which I believe will be better for baseball. Can you taste it? Can you feel it? Can you touch it? No? Now you can see it when you watch it. Enjoy!
-
Baseball the way it should be. A little bit of small ball, a couple of big boppers, starting pitchers going through the order 3, or 4 times, and games being played a little on either side of 2 hours, and NO Shifts on pretty much every batter, which was analytics driven all sounds good to me. Not tinkering to me just back to the way it should be. To me analytics has been the tinkering.
-
I can see clearly now the shift is GONE!
-
There wasn’t enough cheese in the world to go along with all your wine that you did about the shift. Hilarious!
-
Pasting yourself? That explains a lot. No saying you don’t have to be in a conversation to understand something. You’ve been in conversations before, and didn’t understand what something meant, so you probably should concentrate on getting that right first, before you venture out, and try to understand something others are doing.
-
Bloom should now.
-
DD is heading back to the WS. Bloom is hanging out in the Div basement.
-
The Candy Man can, but you can’t. More like the not so great OZ. Patting yourself on the back doesn’t add a thing, or make anything right, or true.
-
To bad you couldn’t get something right once in a while. Trades, signings, or a interpretation. Still looking for a first idea is a gift, and a curse.
