Buck would have been my #1 choice

Theo would be my #2.

Swindell would be my #3 because he actually WANTS to win.

Beyond any and all of that, ARod and, believe it or not, Bobby V, have...

Also, a rather immediate call-up of Oswaldo would alleviate many of my personal concerns because he could truly represent addition from within. Time for executive management to put their chips on the...

I largely agree with your reasoning and acknowledge that we, at least on paper, addressed legitimate needs. However, I think that we could have, and definitely should have, done more.

I’m fine...

Altuve vs. Montas (let’s face it, the only reason this acquisition actually mattered)

9/33 - 35 PA, 2 doubles, 2 HR, 3 RBI, 4 XBH, 17 TB, .314 OBP, .829 OPS

I’m no fan of Jordan (he was on my...

Actually Jimmy said that

Clemens has one very overarching issue that will forever prevent his entry into the HOF

Every single one of these points represents salient truth.


Every.


Single.


One.

Story on a short leash was/is always the best play, but not at anywhere near the value that Max just set today for shorter years/risk averse stop-gap signings.

Ray would have been exactly what we...

Absolutely.

And this is where Harold has brought us.

Sox have a tendency to overperform expectations and have historically proven time and time again that they possess the organizational acumen to rebuild VERY quickly.

Toronto was already on the...

I am officially appropriating the term ‘dullard,’ because your context setup on that was perfect.

Also…..I fully agree with your final sentiments, except for Levine. He DID buy that dog that...

Some of us actually called this a year ago.

Now it’s all over but the cryin.

:touchdown:

Never the plan.

Hal needed a convenient excuse to string the base along in order to contract the margins.

A new, and ready-made, executive soundbite has probably already been thoroughly...

Sauron goes on vacation for a few years, comes back and and finds that his old nemesis Ice-Hawk has returned.

I should not have read this half asleep.

Thanks

And apparently I should refrain from responding in real-time as the very next post beat me to, and laid it out, far better than I could.

Out of my head Rich, and rent’s due first of the month.

For every word that has ever extolled the virtues of competitive control through a cap, there should have been equal fidelity to implementing a hard floor.

Still doesn’t absolve our abysmal track...

Unfortunately, recent market trends (Machado, Harper, Trout) are all decade plus commitments. I don’t see Jusge’s agent touching a lesser payday.

Want absolutely no part of Olsen.

They need production bats with speed and agility. We need to acquire 2 DJ types of players who can effectuate small ball and inning continuance. Anything else is...

Agreed X1000

They could very well be locked into 650-700+mil on 2 roster positions.

I hated Posada from about 2000 forward. He was a guaranteed K, GDIP, or F4 like a swiss clock in any playoff scenario and had just the wrong amount of cocksure attitude to make me detest him as a...

I DO wonder if it would be beyond Hal to get this story out there to possibly make Cole look bad. Make him seem like a humorless, dour, lockeroom jerk and all that as a petty dig for the horrible WC...
