    I see no evidence to support that. If Greene was on the block, teams would've been lined up around the block to trade for him. He's a borderline 'name your price' type of player.
  2. JoeBrady
    Fortunately for me, I pay no attention. In the off-season, you either do, or you no do.
  3. JoeBrady
    I think Suarez will be fine for two years. Anything more becomes questionable. One note is that he has 4 HRs in 40 ABs in Fenway.
  4. JoeBrady
    As I mentioned in one of my posts, if we acquired Arenado + Donovan, I think it makes us a much better team, without the cost of a premier prospect. If it's Arenado alone, probably aim for $30M in discounts.
  5. JoeBrady
    The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. So if 10 million RS fans can be happy with acquisitions that make us better, then the 1 million that hate it, will have to be sacrificed.
  6. JoeBrady
    I can get on board with that. To me, and feel free to disagree, a big upgrade at #2 is slightly more important than the big bat, but I am pretty indifferent to one or the other. So long as a I get one or the other.

    I've been fantasy BB for a long time. Having rookie pitchers come up and dominate is fairly common. But every year, without fail, there is a rush for a few elite hitting prospect. Their success rate, in terms of immediate fantasy value, is usually -0-. Guys that I thought had flawless minor league resumes, like Holiday and Rutschman, always take time to develop. Even guys that are great just one year later, usually struggle as rookies. I think James Wood has one of the best swings I've ever seen, and he didn't hit anything in the second half. And every team has a guy like that.

    There's no way to be sure. Chicago is a pretty good opportunity, similar to the RS. I remember Bay going to the NYM, or Cano going to the Mariners, and thinking these guys are ruining their careers for money they will never spend. But the Cubs are a good franchise.

    That's why I'm universally beloved. I've probably had more relocation packages than other people have had jobs. Why stress it when you can just offer me more severance.
  10. JoeBrady
    Assuming that's true, I have no problem. You have to be able to draw a line, whether I agree with the number or not. But, so long as the RS were willing to spend $30M+, then it just a matter of re-directing that money. If this was another 'well, we tried but then do nothing next', then it's problematic.
  11. JoeBrady
    Trust no one. But I'd make both those trades. I don't think either the Astros or the Dodgers would. But Paredes doesn't currently have a position. Neither does Rushing, and Duran would be a great fit. I think both proposals are ballpark correct, one way or another, and good fits all around.
  12. JoeBrady
    How much is that?
  13. JoeBrady
    I agree 100%. I definitely would not trade him, but I'd definitely put him in AAA for a full year, unless we had an injury and he was crushing the ball. He could still be a great player, but we have to make the investment.
  14. JoeBrady
    He won't retire, but we might have to cut him at age 37. That's old even for an accountant.
  15. JoeBrady
    It's an ancillary benefit, like watching them melt down every time we pick up AAA depth. Or really blow their minds and trade for both Arenado & Donovan, paying full freight, in exchange for a non-premium prospect package. The folks that love Donovan will hate it because of Arenado. The folks calling JH cheap will have to find a way to call him cheap, even after blowing thru the 2nd threshold. Watching heads explode will keep me entertained until opening day.
  16. JoeBrady
    To me, it is all about getting the best possible players. I'd rank getting a #2 higher than a big bat at 3rd, but understand the arguments. But if we go cheap at 3rd, we should increase our investment in a #2. Or leave Gray as our #2 and invest more heavily at 3rd/IF.
  17. JoeBrady
    No. Still too much. IMHO, at least the final four years, there is a chance he won't be in BB.
  18. JoeBrady
    I love Ceddanne in CF, but see no reason to expect him to out-perform a Romy/DHam platoon at 2B.
  19. JoeBrady
    I would do that. FG has him as a 2.0 player. Good stats in limited time at Fenway.
  20. JoeBrady
    I also have a problem with that. If this is a Devers type of deals, I might need to trade you for a variety of reasons. But a 5-year deal, where I only expect you to be productive over 3 years, what's the difference. He'll likely still be able to play in years 4 & 5, and he wouldn't any real trade value by that point anyway. Maybe even worse is the 'company policy' issue with NTC. Nobody likes a good policy and procedure book more than me, but I'm not crazy about locking in policies that we might not be able to enforce.
  21. JoeBrady
    Without details this is all chatter, but the word I heard is that they wanted to defer for decades(!). I have no problem with deferrals. You withhold 50% of my salary, but give me 10% more next year, NP. But decades? No, I want to see it in my lifetime, not my kids.
  22. JoeBrady
    I remember when the F.O.M. always referred to them as Tito Francoma and Theo InEpstein. Two of the best in baseball history, and they hated them.
  23. JoeBrady
    I heard that he saw Babe when he was still with the RS.
  24. JoeBrady
    IMO, JH thought of Bloom as the rebuild guy. He was never going to tank, but was never going to go all-in. Too early to tell with Breslow. I think we will go past threshold #1, and JH will make a business decision at the TDL. He's done that before.
  25. JoeBrady
    Campbell was always going to be the presumptive 2B.
