    nothing about Skubal. once again, this is an organization that aims for the middle and ....that's usually where they land.
  4. JimEd
    oh, i know. i think you did great. i'd hire you over Brslow any day if i was Henry. now....git-r-done!
  5. JimEd
    not me.
  6. JimEd
    yeah, that would be a typical Henry move. go for the low and mid-level players rather than the top tier. cause that would cost him money. and he doesn't have enough.
  7. JimEd
    it would be a great team, but the Sox are about as likely to sign Skubal as they are to sign me.

    makes me wonder why they even bother with including such language if it so rarely happens.
  17. JimEd
    exactly.
  18. JimEd
    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.
  19. JimEd
    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
  21. JimEd
    apparently they know everything and can do no wrong.
  22. JimEd
    might as well throw in Tarik Skubal as we have about as much chance landing him as any of those you listed.
  23. JimEd
    yeah....Milwaukee and Pat Murphy are sorta the anti-Driveline. probably why they don't use them.
  24. JimEd
    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.
  25. JimEd
    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.
