  1. Brilliant can't be used for low-level trades. If this is a prelude to adding talent and staying under the 3rd cap, then I like it. Otherwise, it doesn't do anything for me.
  2. His age, plus 79 Ks in 201 ABs, on a team which already has some strikeout and K/W issues. I'd have signed him for $15M, but there are better alternatives.
  3. You didn't want him anyway. Remember the .780?
  4. If the focus was dumping Devers, then Hicks net cost of $9M is small potatoes.
  5. .238 BABIP in 2024, with a .291 in 2025. His minor league splits look 'okay'. I find split problems usually reveal themselves in the minors. It could still be an issue, but not a definite.
  6. You said we wouldn't add anyone. I challenged and you folded. Then you added a laughable .820. Make it nice and simple. I'm betting we acquire someone that either had a 2+ WAR last year, or projects to have a 2+ WAR this year.
  7. John Henry. Still not sure what the point of asking who owns the Red Sox.
  8. Then why ask where the profits go?
  9. Over than past three years, at a minimum of 1500 PAs, that means we can only obtain Marte, Ramirez or Riley. Come up with a serious wager or stop wasting your time.
  10. The one about the .820 OPS. That was basically a bet to get HOF Ramirez from Cleveland. I had a good laugh over that one.
  11. .678 last year.
  12. Like a lot of folks said, virtually every player has a number. If Hicks was a FA, he'd automatically get a $2-3M+ contract.
  13. Wait, I posted the same thing, and Polishuk gets credit and I don't? What a rip-off.
  14. It's always the same with people that say things that they don't believe in.
  15. It's not an interesting theme. We've been spending, we hope to spend more, and I'd bet that we do spend more. But the only person that posts 5x a day that we won't spend, won't accept the wager.
  16. You asked who gets the money we saved. What was the point of the question other than the owner(s) get the profits.
  17. I don't think that's quite right. Any asset is only a plan at a given price; not at any price. My plan is to retire with beachfront property in the Hamptons, but only if it costs less than $1M.
  18. Cots has us at $260.6. We have plenty enough to land Suarez.
  19. I thought everyone in Texas spoke Spanish?
  20. Numbers have no meaning in Fred's world.
  21. Yes. Stockholders of a corporation typically share equally in the profits and losses.
  22. pressure will mount and ratchet up for the 24-year-old southpaw to live up to his former top prospect billing. The pressure on Harrison isn't changed one iota with the Hicks. No one in the world is saying 'oh no, now Harrison has to succeed'.
  23. If I were the RS, I'd spend a whole lot of time trying to make him a decent 2B. I have a friend that is a real baseball person, and thinks it can be done. He's usually right on on-the-field issues. At the fit is absolutely perfect.
  24. Do we have any prospects, besides Arias, that qualifies as a middle-infielder? And I mean someone that looks like they have a reasonable shot at being decent+? I don't see any, and that guides my decision as to whom to pursue. Assuming we have no one, then Shaw makes a lot more sense than Hoerner, even if we have to pay up.
  25. Here is my usual analysis. There is $10M on the table. If you guess right, you get the $10M. If you guess wrong, you get -0-. Was Ohtani involved? I don't need a split second before answering yes, and I'd be absolutely shocked if I was wrong.
