QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Nov 10, 2017 -> 03:21 PM) An extension such as that would buy out the arb years. Sure. But the money is fairly limited because they are arbitration and not free agent years. The Sox won't destroy the system for an extension.

QUOTE (fredmanrique @ Nov 10, 2017 -> 12:18 PM) a front loaded abreu extension with two more years of control makes sense to me too! really think the payroll flexibility should yield more prospects by taking on bad one year deals. if you want to eat a big, long deal like Ellsbury , would need to receive 2 maybe 3 top prospects, just can't see Yankees doing that. I.e. how much would people pay for Chance Adams if he was posted like Luis Robert? Not 50 mil, you'd need to receive 3 chance Adams for the favor of sitting Ellsbury on the bench An Abreu deal can't be front loaded. He still has two arb years left.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Nov 9, 2017 -> 08:34 PM) Any chance Q may be in trouble if they keep trending this way? Not looking so good right now. For as much roster turnover as we have seen the last couple of seasons, it might well be his turn.

The hawks offense is so bad right now. 1:44 with a two man power play and nada.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Nov 9, 2017 -> 04:40 PM) One concern I have is that this stuff is all getting lumped together. Hoffman's dirty old man antics with a young girl is vastly different than Weinstein/Spacey rape/assault behavior. Well this seems to be the one time that people are actually believing victims (in general that is) so I would imagine that is why the dam seems to be breaking here.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 9, 2017 -> 02:57 PM) That, or completely crush their career. Especially if you're a woman in comedy trying to make an accusation against a big name. At their base, that is what all of these scandals have in common. People in positions of power abusing those positions to feed their sexual appetites, then using that power to bury any threats that come out of those activities. Meanwhile people who view their circle as being more important than anything else they talk about (equal rights or God as the case may be, etc) use it as an opportunity to beholden themselves to the original offender(s) by finding ridiculous excuses to defend said behavior. While the offenders are absolutely horrible people, the secondary group that sells out everything to defend the offenders is almost worse because they have absolutely no spine at all.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 9, 2017 -> 03:51 PM) "President Donald Trump gave his administration a "10" for its response to Puerto Rico's hurricane devastation" The joke is on Trump, huge chunks of Puerto Rico are now moving into the mainland US. So instead of fixing the problem there, thousands of people are moving into the continental 48 where they will do things like vote against him.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 8, 2017 -> 05:03 PM) Commercial free Mr. Robot tonight. They've added quite a few F-bombs this season. Basic cable is essentially becoming like HBO. That was a great episode. The commercial free showing really added to the tension. Then the ending was jarring.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 9, 2017 -> 12:13 PM) I don't think I'd trust Davis to last an entire 4 year contract And with where contracts have gone, you might be looking at $70 to $80 million for him.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 9, 2017 -> 10:46 AM) Whatever. You said it was wrong, show us what's right. But you won't because your post was to insult me and then you found out it wasn't something I created. By its very nature, if you don't have the real numbers, you can't be positive it is accurate.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 9, 2017 -> 10:38 AM) You would think the person that says something is inaccurate would have something that is accurate. You must have a Trump's view of the word accurate.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 9, 2017 -> 10:34 AM) It is supposedly based on what teams have already agreed to, and estimates of bonus money sent. It's from Big League Stew. If you have a more accurate one, please post. I didn't realize you took it from a real source, as no credit was given. It is also still not known by your own words here.
