    Alonso's contract might age poorly, but he's essentially three years younger than Contrares.
  2. JimEd
    it wasn't a rebuild. it was a "let's burn it down because i'm a greedy SOB that's tired of spending money".
  3. JimEd
    and they're not done.
  4. JimEd
    but signing free agents is a bad idea. LOL.
  5. JimEd
    i miss Dave.
  6. JimEd
    me either. glad the Sox passed on him. he might be successful, but to me, he looks like a strike out machine.
  7. JimEd
    no money. just a mention for assisting one of the principal contributors.
  8. JimEd
    like it or not, it's the cost of doing business if you want to compete.
  9. JimEd
    what top prospects did he trade that he shouldn't have?

    i wonder sometimes if Henry lost a bet or something (like the movie Trading Place, except this hasn't worked out) . i can just see him sitting around with his billionaire buddies after winning the WS in 2018.... Henry (smoking his cigar): yep, that's four championships in 15 years. I could do this all day. BIllionaire buddy: well, to be fair, any organization could win a WS with what you've spent on payroll. Henry: that's not true, we have smart people (including me) running this from top to bottom as well as the best players money can buy. Billionaire buddy: i bet you $100M you can't win a WS if you fire DD, trade off your best players, and never sign a free agent to a contract in the Top 35 in baseball. I'll give you 10 years. Henry: you're on!

    only if we can throw in Hicks too.
  12. JimEd
    burn down the farm because Henry is too cheap to sign a FA.
  13. JimEd
    i like Sibley too. have his app on my phone.
  14. JimEd
    this one is better. and you'll find my name in the credits.

    that's just it. if you're always waiting around for the "perfect fit" you'll do just that and spend all you're time waiting for the perfect fit. his contract wasn't stupid and he was the closest thing to perfect the market had to offer.
  16. JimEd
    agreed. signing him was just another in a long line of idiotic moves made by this FO.
  17. JimEd
    it's not Dave's fault but people are all too happy to blame him for it. so yeah, blame the guy that got us three straight ALEast titles and a WS, but not the ******** billionaire owner that decided he wanted to run the team like the Rays. DD wins a WS then finishes third and gets fired for it. now we celebrate Bresloverpay for finishing third. LOL. THE PROBLEM is Henry and his change in philosophy, not DD.

    i'd take a 30th ranked farm and a world series championship any f***in' day. now we have (or did have) a top ranked farm and what has it got you?
  19. JimEd
    i miss Dave.
  20. JimEd
    that's it. when Henry thinks the 41st highest contract is too much, then f*** him, he needs to go.
  21. JimEd
    Alonso's contract is currently the 41st highest in dollars. if Henry thinks a contract like his is too much, then he needs to go.
  22. JimEd
    was she hawt?
  23. JimEd
    i think you just traded away 3/5 of our starting pitching.
  24. JimEd
    they could easily afford Alonso, but they chose not to. most likely they thought his cost was too high. this is the problem....Henry still thinks it's 2005 when it comes to payroll. the contract Alonso signed with the Orioles was not absurd and ranks as the 41st highest in MLB in terms of overall dollars. the Red Sox highest contract (in overall dollars) belongs to Garret Crochet at $170M. this is just 36th in the league. in my mind, it's inexcusable for a team like the Red Sox with the revenue they have to not be more aggressive. it they had the revenue of the Rays or Marlins or Pirates, i'd understand. in fact, there are 22 teams that spend a greater share of their revenue on payroll than the Sox, including the A's, Rockies, Royals, Twins and Mariners.
