makes me wonder why they even bother with including such language if it so rarely happens.

can you not read? i never said there was anything wrong or unusual with giving out pre-arb extensions. i said HIS extension was unwarranted. and idiotic. i think it's fine -in some cases.

rushing him to the bigs is one thing, but the fact they gave him the BIG extension truly has me questioning the competency of this FO.

according to this, the Phillies are at 10 and just younger than the Red Sox. surprising to me was Tampa having the oldest. https://www.espn.com/mlb/stats/rosters/_/sort/average_age/order/true

apparently they know everything and can do no wrong.

might as well throw in Tarik Skubal as we have about as much chance landing him as any of those you listed. -
yeah....Milwaukee and Pat Murphy are sorta the anti-Driveline. probably why they don't use them.
-
spot on. it just kills me when people defend JH giving out these idiotic prearb contracts and all his defenders -in chorus, btw- repeat the party line: everybody is doing it. f***ing makes me sick. sure it's a gamble but i'd sure as hell rather gamble with a player that has proved himself. Anthony and Campbell hadn't proved s***. when they do prove themselves.....then pay them.
-
i'm guessing they want to give that up if they're going to have give up a year (or more) of arb years. why invest so much time and trouble developing a kid drafted out of high school just to lose him that much sooner? outside of the very rare exception, i don't like the idea of drafting high school kids anyway.

yeah, but he had enough sense to know you needed hitters. specifically, power hitters like Manny and Papi that could do some instant damage. with Bloom -the ultimate nerd- you get Masataka Yoshida. 😂
-
that splains a lot. guess they'll just keep throwing s*** at the wall and hope something sticks.
-
and then hire more guys like Kyle Boddy WHO NEVER WENT TO BAT IN A MAJOR LEAGUE GAME IN HIS LIFE as hitting instructors and tell the players to ignore guys like Jim Rice. because nerds, thats why.
-
dude....don't you know those are old school back-of-the-baseball-card stats and don't matter. why? because, that's why. today you have to look at BABIPs and FIPS, OPS+, SqUpCon, SqUpSw and launch angles and barrels and hard-hit rate and soft-hit rate, splits, handstands and somersaults. because the nerds, thats why. somewhere along the way, John Henry forgot what won 4 championships.

we need to get somebody. there is no way we don't lose one of our projected starters to injury. send Bennett to AAA until he's needed if we have to.
