  1. Yep, those are two entertaining teams that can play.
  2. Wins? I haven't thought about wins in a year. 100 losses. But with drama. Blown save in the final game to hit 100.
  3. I'm screwed when they play Houston or Texas.
  4. T Life app. I just completed the offer. It's exactly what I'm willing to pay to watch this year's action.
  5. Looking on the bright side I can confidently spell choke because of him.
  6. Or saying it another way. Whether drafting rookies or veterans why would you want a later pick? I don't want to go fourth in the draft, let's go lower after everyone else picks, then we'll take whoever they don't want. We're not that good at development that we can take other team's rejects, develope them, and beat those teams. One thing I'm certain of after fifty years or following this organization, for every time we actually "fix'd 'em" (Loaiza) there are dozens and dozens that really did suck so bad no one else would sign them.
  7. Just a general comment on these types of assumptions that we all make. Without information not available to the public we don't know that's true. We don't know if a team made an offer that was rejected. Just looking at what guys signed for with another team doesn't automatically mean they would have played for just any team at that price. I still believe shopping with more options available is better than waiting until the shelves are mostly bare. Especially considering that we generally believe every other team is better at player evaluation. We're going to wait until they all take their pick and somehow believe we're going to do better with the rejects?
  8. Not signing anyone and rushing someone into the lineup. Having to give up the future to field anything today. He signed players when he had the most options. They aren't spending any money that will hamper their future. Why wait until you have little or no options?
  9. Getz "we don't have enough MLB talent to field a roster." JR "what are you going to do?" Getz "wait until I can find some bargains during spring training. We'll save a few million dollars. Who cares how good they are?! The strategy is to just take whatever pieces are still around."
  10. The worst that could happen is guys that should be in AAA are rushed to the majors when the team has holes that they waited until the last minute to fill and came up empty.
  11. I think if you're a bottom feeder you have to sign folks early. Imagine if the Sox were still in the bidding waiting on an arm. Where do you think the player will go? World Series team or Sox? He waits he has nothing and in a real man. They also have to overpay.
  12. I thought there were 30 teams, what happened to the other four?
  13. The link was to an article about the NCAA aggressively protecting it's trademark. Much like the NFL protects their "big game".
  14. I didn't, then looked at a picture. Yep, he had a great career.
