    Yet we are to believe that all the FA's we have an interest in have multiple teams interested in them.

    I agree...but a contract of 4 years at 10 million is a lot different than a contract of 4 years at 15 million. Beyond 4 years and 48 million...I would take one of the other alternatives.

    Stranger things have happened. Bauer is a strange guy in a strange offseason situation. Why shouldn't JR do something strange?

    Colorful! You have a way with words.

    I believe Bauer or Hendriks/Gray deals are well within the FO budget. JR knows the value of a championship team will skyrocket his and investors' holdings. I would not be surprised at all if JR has a 2 or 3 year plan to move on. The whole TL reunion smells like time to go out on top.

    You are on the money.

    Meany!

    In hindsight, Mike Trout would have been a better pick than Jared Mitchell. Hindsight always has 20-20 vision.

    Mike Trout was drafted in the #25 slot. The draft is a crapshoot. If you select a player who ends up with a decent major league career...you win.

    The thought of Hand as our closer is growing on me. Two years at 8 mil sounds much better than Hendriks 4 yrs at 14/15 per year. Money saved here can be better spent thrown at the starter search.
  12. poppysox
    He's our closer, Katz has fixed Cease, Kopech, Lopez, and TL has retired again. Feel better?

    A very good overview of what amounts to Madrigals floor.
  14. poppysox
    Thank you...all good points. It gets exhausting needing to defend a rookie who has reached the big club at supersonic speed and with excellent results.
  15. poppysox
    Kopech is a project until he shows us differently.

    These columns that say Houston or Toronto are interested in whoever means nothing. The WS front office is "interested" in over 100 players IMO. That doesn't mean we are making offers to anyone. Columnists have to write about something. They are grasping for things to write about just like us.
  17. poppysox
    Agreed! Expectations are very high including my own.
  18. poppysox
    I certainly think your plan is a reasonable alternative to Hendriks. I still think we get Hendriks but there are alternatives to overpaying for his services.

    I agree with you about outs being precious. Madrigal negativity confuses me because he makes fewer outs than most.
  20. poppysox
    I sure hope you are right. The minor league game is the only game in town for many people.

    I agree...Hogan has shown patience as I believe my post indicated. I have shown a fair amount of patience in my 60+year WS fandom. My comment is aimed at those with zero patience. The constant harping does nothing but depress the situation instead of being encouraged by the positive direction the club is obviously going in.
  22. poppysox
    No place for him to play. Stick to the knitting and fill positions of need.
  23. poppysox
    If Cease wins most improved...Katz wins MVP.
  24. poppysox
    If Madrigal is our weakest link...start printing the playoff tickets now. We are a lock.
  25. poppysox
    That would require patience which is in very short supply on Soxtalk.
