  1. I agree, Betts and Schwarber and DEFINITELY Dlowe (my boy). OVerall not bad. But Betts is the giant black eye. Beltre sure, but thats hindisght. Youk was so established so it was Beltre or AGON and we chose wrong but it wasnt quite like the others because at least the letting him walk was defendable
  2. HAHAHA, Ill concede to you on this one. The Angels dysfunction is consistently at a level that nobody else in baseball can get to. They are the Nets of the MLB
  3. I dont think JH is the problem or financial "misers" at FSG. I think, more likely, JH is an old man in a rocking chair.
  4. Whats hyperbolic? She said that she wants a carousel of youngsters coming up at all times and to trade out before they become expensive. Thats not apples to apples to what the sox do. Our payroll is Story, Masa, Crochet, Contreras, Gray, Suarez..... Spending money, right now, is not the problem. The problem is Breslow's ability to land his top choices (I believe that its .00001% likely that the Red Sox have a no trade policy that is coming from above Breslows head).
  5. Agree with you on Bogey (and Betts). Im willing to pay superstars superstar money. Bogey was already showing a little decline though and that contract was absurd. Betts was unforgiveable.
  6. I just meant the carousel of up and comers. Boys dont win championships. Even Michael Jordan couldnt dominate the league pre-prime.
  7. Did you hear what Story said? Never crossed his mind to opt out. That hes going to try to pick up as much as Bregman left behind from helping youngsters POV/leadership. I, and I may be in minority here, but I am VERY glad Story didnt opt out and Im crossing my fingers he stays healthy next year. I think hes a key player.
  8. Are you defending the ship em out before you gotta pay em, revolving door strategy? Historically, it hasnt worked. Even the goats of it, The Rays......have ......checks notes.....0 championships. Marlins do have 2 though, so it can work.
  9. Our best hitter by a mile in last years playoffs, Trevor Story, ever heard of him? What do the sox (and Rox) look like last year if we didnt big market Story away from Rox?
  10. A strategy that works incredibly well for the A's, Pirates, Rockies.....
  11. JH prefers Tyler Lyftstine (Lyft is generally cheaper than uber) Im kidding , folks!
  12. That would be hard to do again even if they tried lol
  13. Trade Cedanne straight up for Brent Rooker. Championship. Duran is better in CF than he is in LF.
  14. Maybe even the next duran !
  15. That doesn look like .825 to me, I guess Abreu and Refsnyder weighing it down hard? Fair enough though, I thought it was more Duran than Bregman.
  16. I said that in my post. That you always need a little injury luck. All teams. But I dont think we're particularly balanced or deep. I think we hinge on Duran, mr doubles and triples.
  17. Id Duran/Abreu/Contreras/Story/Anthony stay healthy , we'll be fine this year. But smart money is that 1 or 2 will not, and I just hope we get bats should that happen again.
  18. Duran hit .850 last year against righites. He was the reason our 3 hole was .825 OPS (he didnt hit 3 hole against lefties). The underrated mistake is Refsnyder walking. Im not sure why everyone except us is so anti-platoon. Give me a guy who hits .900 against righties and .600 against lefties vs a guy who hits .775 against both ALL DAY. For the third year in a row, Duran is the key. Hit him 8th against lefties (or not at all), dont care. BUT DO NOT F'ING TRADE HIM.
  19. That .825 in the 3 hole really stands out. I wonder who it was that caused that number to be substantially higher than other lineup spots.
  20. And it will be fine again this year, unless there are 2-3 injuries to key players and we take a lineup that would be "fine" if everyone was healthy into a series against the yankees. So we'll need some injury luck or to aggressively replace contributors who go down (which we didnt do last year).
  21. I liked the Padres/Bogey contract because it made me feel better that we didnt land him because we were never going to compete with that offer. Like when you ask out the cute blonde who smiles at you in math class, and she says no, and youre surprised, then you see her walk down the hallway holding hands with captain of football team. You feel better about your miss.
  22. How you luck into Trout and Ohtani and have like nothing to show for it.....Im not even mad, Im impressed.
  23. Absolutely. This is why they added things like prospect promotion incentives. It made too much sense to keep dudes down as long as possible , so you get their prime years under rookie contracts and their late prime in arb years lol. It was too exploitable. It was unfair to the players becaue they couldnt hit FA before 31 and everyone took advantage....... .....except the Angels (lololol)
  24. How about this? This year, we be the team that goes and gets the Devers should one become available and not the team looking to dump offense. And I honestly dont care if we have to bench Cedanne or send Mayer to AAA to make a spot. This team still needs a bat, and a good one, and I care not what position that bat plays. Get me Brent Rooker.
  25. I think they had a bad october.
