  1. Good catch. Still, between Price, May, Urias, Wood, Nelson, Gonsolin there are lots of question marks over who's going to provide innings. They just lost 335 innings from Ryu and Maeda, while only adding 100 from Price. Seems like Stripling would be a good guy to keep for a contending team like the Dodgers.
  2. Sign me up for Ross Stripling. Can I ask - why are the Dodgers moving him? Isn't their starting pitching depth getting a little thin?
  3. Meh - I'm not whining - just curious. I often think God gets more credit than the doctors and nurses.
  4. Do people really believe that God is answering their prayers when their loved one gets better under the direct supervision of a Doctor?
  5. King - you bastard. Don't post that s***.
  6. The complication is a slightly damaged Graterol is probably still worth Maeda. It will be the Red Sox saying wait a minute, we gave up Betts, Price and $$$ and we didn't realize Graterol was this damaged. We need to get more from somebody in this deal. I agree - I suspect the Dodgers are the ones who get squeezed for more.
  7. Isn't this as simple as the Red Sox evaluating the likelihood that they could sign Betts long term (or after he became a FA) and concluded it wasn't going to happen? Big market or not - it would be incredibly stupid to complete that evaluation, decide the odds of them retaining Betts were slim, and then keep him anyway.
  8. Verdugo and Benintendi are similar players eh?
  9. I had some Beau's Lugtread this weekend for the first time. I really enjoyed it....although I was ice fishing and thus was already pretty drunk and high as f***. We got the update on Tony while we were in the hut. Jesse Barfield reporting that he spoke with Juan Guzman, who said that Tony Fernandez is in critical condition was hilarious to us (the line of reporting, not the news).
  10. This is what happens when you put Dave Dombrowski in charge. At least for the Sox, they actually won a championship.
  11. Sounds like the Angels are giving up a pretty decent prospect if this is all true.
  12. They could also move Maeda to the pen in the playoffs...he's proven he's a stud there.
  13. I'm with Jim and BTS on this. I see why the Twins did it. Will it bite them long term? probably, but they are looking to win in 2020, 2021.
  14. Yep - trading Betts right before he enters his prime years and moving on from Price at age 34 coming off an injury plagued year. Incredible job by the Red Sox.
  15. holy f*** - bring on spring training.
  16. https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/1937473/astros-baker-illegal-sign-stealing-wont-happen-on-my-watch "It's certainly not going to happen on my watch and I don't see it happening ever again because this has been embarrassing for a lot of people," Baker said I wonder if he'll be as effective at preventing cheating in his clubhouse as he was back when he managed Bonds and Sosa...
  17. Luis Urias underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair a fractured left hamate bone and is expected to be sidelined for the next 6-8 weeks. Tough break.
  18. sorry - I missed the other time back in 2012. Moose turns 32 this year. I'd project a decline - especially while playing 2nd base full time for the first time in his career. But maybe that's just me.
  19. The Astros are hiring Dusty Baker to be their Manager. Nothing says "don't worry, we won't be using technology to steal signs (or for anything) anymore" than hiring Dusty Baker. This is such a bizarre fit. Progressive FO meets old school head on.
  20. I'm assuming that playing 2nd base all year drags Moose's WAR down. He's also only exceeded 3 WAR once in his career back in 2015. Seems unlikely he'll ever hit 3.5 again.
  21. Could always throw in another young controllable piece who could help them win not like Trent Thornton - or a prospect of their liking to sweeten a Giles/Reese package.....but I mean, that still seems incredibly stupid of the Reds. They have to be getting an impact player like Lindor or some big time prospect at another position if they are moving Senzel. Aquino and Akiyama probably aren't very good and what's the upside of Moustakas? a 2.5 WAR 2nd baseman? Even the upside of Castellanos is like 2.5-3 WAR probably. There's a decent chance that Senzel is better than everyone on the Reds who isn't named Suarez. Why on earth you'd trade him is beyond me.
  22. The Diamondbacks are good? huh?
