Nice of Cohen to finally let Stearns hire his own people.... no wait...

That overlooks like a hitter gets to hit once every nine team ABs, while a starting pitcher throws to all nine of them when they are in. Garrett Crochet was 2nd in MLB with 814 batters faced. Looking quickly the leading batters had about 700 PAs.

Colson's floor is what we saw with is back injuries and his sub .100 stretches with a ton of strikeouts.

I also remember Robert out there swinging with one arm for an entire September.

I am sure the weighting of the systems changes because of where guys rank too. If you just rawdog adding up how many people are in top 100, that equates 100 with 1 as equal. With a team like the Tigers skewing towards the front with less players, but 2 top 10s, and 4 top 40s, that could outweigh the Sox five who starts at 35 and are mostly in the backhalf.

Honestly, I think the theme was having guys play through injuries, and it destroyed their legs being more of the problem.

To be fair, Yoan was on a start track after his first two years, and then just cratered.

Keeping par doesn't work. We need to make up 20-30 games. That's the point.

They need a top pick so badly. While this looks great in isolation, take the Tigers who have the #2, #8, #33, and #37 guys in this list. Cleveland has 17/58/59. These are the types of teams we are chasing.

I don't know how the Cubs don't get more attention with as much money as they make, and as little as they spend.

And to be clear, while it is civil now, it won't stay that way. Someone will come in and turn up the temp, and we already know, someone is waiting to cry about what is said.

Give the hurt feelings a rest.

The Sox brought in an emergency buyer to cover operations debt. Period. End of story.

The Sox have not made money this decade.

We are already there. This location does not hold the fanbases interest if this franchise is not consistently winning. Attendance hasn't been this low since the 1900s. This is also a franchise that has almost moved multiple times. I know this is supposed to scare everyone, but we haven't been away from 35/Shields since 1909, yet this franchise is already in imment danger. The fan base is gone. It's at modern lows. This stadium has been a complete failure.

Thorpe actually probably hurt the worst, as he was a guy who had decent potential depending on how much you believe that change can play in the majors. and now you not only lost that development time, but also a year to a year and a half of control for nothing.

So the team IS setting the off season regiment, and working with the players on them. Ope.

And that will be 4 billion, as it will be 2 teams. None of these guys are turning down a check for ~133 million dollars. That's why expansion.

But why? Like, what are the Sox "holding out" for? It's a lease for an already existing stadium, which has a historic set of precedents to base it on. The only reason it would make sense is if the Sox are angling for a short term lease with an eye on still getting a stadium done somewhere else, and the ISFA doesn't want that, especially already losing the Bears.

As an admin, in general I don't have a problem with people throwing sand in the sandbox. It is par for the course in a place like this honestly. It irritates me more when people throw sand, and then complain incessantly when people throw sand back. If you are going to call people trolls, don't then go troll other people.

Why would they be threatening to leave while not trying to build a new stadium? That seems like the easiest thing ever?

Everyone but you. Got it.

Someone would pay 2 billion dollars to be Chicago's 2nd team.

This organization has talked about moving literally since the 1960s. They were all but moved in the 80s too. Between the Milwaukee games, the story of Charlie Finley and the franchise swaps, and the St Pete Sox, this is nothing new.

Right. It wasn't just you bumping a thread from a year and a half ago to laugh at people. The call is definitely coming from inside the house.
