I'll ask you a question you asked others, why do you care about JR's money? It was obvious he would be back. LaRussa loves Leury more than Leury's mother does.

turnin' two 1,182 Posted November 30, 2021 38 minutes ago, Quin said: lmao Not saying he belongs here, and he clearly isn't the offensive player the others are, but you may be surprised that at his best, Simmons certainly belongs. Simmons, over his career averages 3.73 bWAR per season? Correa is 4.87, Story is 4.45, Semien is 3.18, Seager is 3.04, Baez is 2.95. By bWAR, on a per season basis, he has been bested only by Story and Correa on this list. Now, with that being said he is oldest guy on the list, and has been really pedestrian the last 3 seasons. He obviously won't get near the contract any of the other guys. I just wanted to give his due credit because at the most important defensive position on the field, he is the best defensive player.

LaRussa loves Leury more than Leury's mother does. Nobody cares about Jerry's money. We're complaining about the utter disdain Jerry has for the players. He spends what he has to. He only re-signs his guys if he can get a Scottie Pippen type bargain. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I care about giving bad players little sums of money because it continues to emphasize that this team hasn't changed the way they operate and will continue to invest small sums in bad players instead of investing one bigger sum in a good player.

South Side Hit Men 2,320 Posted November 30, 2021 36 minutes ago, hi8is said: If you had your pick at any single free agent who signed below 120 million... which one would you have picked? Ray was my top choice in my "offseason plan", Matz would have been my second choice, upping his deal another $1M-$2M per year to snag him. Gomes was the Bronze medal winner, unless they could get Contreras in a trade (or would serve as Contreras back up by trading Grandal for Gallo). 17 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: 3 years for Garcia, my goodness.

Maybe we could start a petition demanding your immediate hire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But then you don't care and criticize people who don't want the Sox to give bad players like Marcus Semien will most likely be when he is 36 or 37, a ton of money.

kleedawg 106 Posted November 30, 2021 1 hour ago, GREEDY said: Has anyone dove into Winker's defense? I foolishly thought he was a decent defender because I remembered him playing some CF. Evidently the metrics say he is a poor left fielder so I have no clue how that could possibly work in RF. Yep, It was discussed earlier n some thread. CBS sportsline recently had an article about it, suggesting he would be a great DH pickup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kleedawg 106 Posted November 30, 2021 1 hour ago, Bunt Ritual said: Ok, so we would literally have to empty the farm to acquire them which would then just create a whole list of other problems. Personally, I don't see any influx of prospects coming from a Kimbrel trade, so I don't know why you would count on that either. I think its likely we will trade for a sp and no we won't empty the farm to do it. Teams need salary relief. Sonny Gray is not going to cost a bevy of prospects, Castillo might. The A's guys vary depending on control left on contract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bob Sacamano 2,946 Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) Cubs signed Clint Frazier to one year deal. They could potentially have control of him for 3 years if he does well enough. Edited November 30, 2021 by Bob Sacamano 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
