Also , 2 years were burned. Expected value is not the same every year. Nobody thought he would be worth the contract in the final few years, so you sign it because you think its worth it because of the front half. But in a 10 year contrct, lets assume the last 4 would be underwater. So that leaves 6 "good value" years, and we had already burned 2 full and chances of making playoffs this year were below 50% even before trade, so a good chunk of the "good value years" had been burned and thats worth factoring in. And this is my concern with kicking the can too far down the road, we really dont have that much time until the prospects start getting more expensive, and I really dont want to waste a year on Crochets contract , especially if he stays healthy (knock on wood)

Or the home renovation show where they yelled "move that bus"
-
I dont think they take anything.
-
They wouldnt take Roman and Masas and Nav and 10m/yr either.

Right but I need Harmony to appear to so I can use my Joe Hendry joke

Passan: Boston Red Sox Optioning Kristian Campbell
drewski6 replied to Matthew Lenz's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Agreed with the bold, and a lot of the reason was not because he looked ready (the fact that he had recent experience at 2b, could play other positions as well, was a righty) -
A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II

If the Braves start selling, Ozuna may be a .900 OPS bat available for cheap. -
Maybe.

Yes, Yale alums only! That was my joke. TY for getting it. Has to be from this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Yale_Bulldogs_baseball_players my faves: Lavarnway, the ghost of George Bush sr, , Ducky pond, Ron Darling, some guy, Howe, who owns a sporting goods store in RI (where I am going to try to get to this weekend), Dick Jauron, and some guy named jumping jack who apparently leapt into the air when pitching in the 1800s. Is that teachable?

I dont think past problems with recruiting are going to save Breslow, personally. Not to imply that I think he's for sure gonezo. Just saying I dont think that will weigh heavily in the decision.
-
Understood Fenway isnt great for lefties either, but that looks like still a signifiant drop to go from 108 to 95 (park factor). Also, assuming 100 = average. To have #21 be at 108 (slightly above average) and have 27 be only at 95 (slightly below average) is crazy. What are 28-30 park factors, in the teens? Something has to be really weighing that down (or Im overlooking something) This is a great illustration of median vs mean
-
We just traded for 2 relief pitchers and Hoskins stinks.
-
Where's Harmony? This guy is proposing we get Cal Raleigh for a package that includes Nav and Yoshida (and unnamed prospects). Can anyone name 5 players right now with more trade value than Cal Raleigh, signed 6 years at a modest amount and one of the only catchers that can really hurt you?
-
Or a contract that has short term < 3 years, but has fallen underwater and a sweetner for taking the bad contract.

What about without Murphy? -
honest q: what are the chances that Bres is one and done? Do we try Ryan Lavarnway next?
-
Maybe we need to rehire the guy who called him a f'ing stiff
-
Thats some data right there

Meet the new boss, exactly like the old boss

Passan: Boston Red Sox Optioning Kristian Campbell
drewski6 replied to Matthew Lenz's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
This is fair, Campbell kind of rocketed through the minors and that comes with drawbacks. -
Wrote my post before seeing this one. Agreed on park factor.
-
If we adjust for park factor, its even more than that! SF park isnt very hitter friendly.

Great article, the Hunter Pence comparison to KC was needed after watching NESN last night and the talking heads worried about the team ruining KC. I dont like that talk, I think its far too pervasive, personally. I think its possible for a team to ruin a bright future star, but I think its rather tough. But if KC is like Pence, then that may take a little more time because the thing about Hunter was how far they'd go when he caught one, so KC may need more reps, pitch recognition, timing to increase his barrel rate, and if hes anything like Pence, getting the barrel to the ball is all he needs to do, let the raw power take care of the rest.

Trading your best hitter lets a lot of air out of the win now balloon, just saying. Agreed that its not slammed shut. BUt I was on here on Fri declaring that its not time to look to the future and screaming that the time is now (John Cena), and now its looking like a half attempt to win now, but also we're trying to save money at the same time, so its one foot in and one foot out, while Breslow talks about how the team has to be all-in on winning when he's not himself.
