    • No way, bullpen arms are too unreliable year-to-year

Well they keep signing guys to big long term contracts to guys who aren't producing ... Their budget isn't endless and with the starting pitching they have lost and their weak line up,they should be filling other holes. So yeah it is a bad signing for them.

That's where I disagree. Their budget IS all but endless. Much more than ours at least.

Well they didn't sign Cano last season leaving a big whole at second base. I would say they have a budget just like everyone else. And with ARod coming back is like a huge signing in itself.

But they took Jeter's $12M off the books and replaced him with pre-arb 2 Gregorius. My guess is they dealt Shane Greene to make room for Lester/Scherzer.

I FULLY expect them to sign (at least) one of the big name starters. Sure as the sun rises tomorrow.

And that makes Miller's 9 mill seem like pennies.

      Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.

      Time Gunnar's triple

      Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By Philip · Posted

      I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.

      This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.

      I have it on dvr and I timed it four times. I got 10.75, 10.80, 10.74, and 10.78.

      My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
