I posted something similar right after you posted yours. That's why I skim over his posts. If one wants a real discussion, they have to deal in real facts. FWIW, TO did almost the identical thing the RS did. We had almost identical scoring teams. They lost Bichette and we lost Bregman. They made their biggest acquisition a #2 SP, and we made our biggest acquisition a #2 SP. They added Ponce to the rotation and we added Gray. They added Okamoto to the IF and we added Durbin. We're running in lock step, but Fred wants to pretend like TO did great and we didn't. Maybe it is my accounting background, but I expect a little analyses.
-
So Cease and Okamoto are a great improvement over Bichette & Bassitt?
-
I question the point of arguing what is or is not possible, but have at it. FWIW, I agree that we won't win less than -0-.
-
But Sweet just gave up two HRs. Looks like Fred's prediction of 0-162 is looking more and more likely.
-
67+ (5-1) feels like you are in the 71 club.
-
I have him on kind of a TL/DR internal mechanism. It isn't so much the disagreements, as much as I know exactly what he will say. I'd say roughly half the folks in here side on adding a slugger in the middle, and half side on adding a #2. I can debate that all day long, but it's a debate at the margins. A 3 WAR slugger or a 3 WAR #2 won't make that much difference. But if one is going to be negative on every acquisition, then there is no real point on me reading the post.
-
I recently just joined the club. I only mentioned it because my wife threw a party to end all parties, and felt like it should be recognized. I pride myself on never, ever being surprised, and I was just staring at all these people, with no clue as to what was going on.
-
After much consideration, you've reached the conclusion that we will win between -0- and 162?
-
With all due respect to your man Bobby Valentine, we haven't had a non-Valentine 70-win season in over 60 years.
-
If you are adding both Bregman and Devers to the top side, then you have to Gray & Contreras (along with the names mentioned) to the bottom side. Basically, we traded: Bregman & Devers for Gray, Contreras, Suarez, Durbin, +++
-
Probably both gone now, but there was a joint on the corner of Fordham & Valentine Avenue that rated highly and Pepino's on 241 St. & White Plains Road. Now I mostly go to Frank Pepe's.
-
I assume that was Fred's point. Last year, we lead with Crochet, Bello & Early. This year, it will be Crochet, Suarez & Gray. We should match up well with most teams.
-
It'll be 68 if we lose our next game.
-
I never understood Original Rays.
-
LAA doubling down on failure.
-
Fred just changed his under/over to 98.
-
A quarter-inch too close to the piping = first world problems?
-
More divisions allow to better match small market and big market teams.
-
I never thought about it, but that's a good bargaining point. $125M would currently cover 6 teams and $150M would cover 11 teams. If they kept it to $125 floor, you'd have almost no teams voting against it. On the high side, you have 5 $300M teams, with two being fringy. If you added another 125% penalty for > $315M, you likely only lose 3 votes. The league probably passes it, and the players might not care enough to suffer the poor optics.
-
He has a net $20M option in 2028. He might be staying unless we're sure Arias is ready.
-
Only if one thinks dumping Devers was an issue. Messy, but a good ending IMHO.
-
I see no issues. We got him because we made him a better offer, and lost him because the Cubs made him a better offer. And then replaced him with Suarez & Durbin & IKF.
-
This was always the problem with the signing. Two draft picks, and the only way he stays is if he goes bad.
-
I have no problem with Story staying. Outside of the arm injury, his other injuries were non-recurring, and he's been outstanding when healthy (4.0/162).

A Realistic Look at the 2026 Red Sox: Part I
JoeBrady replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Nothing wrong with graduating with a degree in auto mechanics with a minor in Bentleys. Move to Hollywood and you'll make a fortune.
