Thus was his one big paycheck. Need to take care of the great-grandkids.

Denver is an awesome place. No better place for the big contract especially if you're a hitter.

Finally, something worth talking about.

Those who live in the past......

Unfortunately the OF market is now set. Yeeesh.

Finally, a rumor

How about any other team?

Has there been any rumors surrounding Conforto?

See. You can't post a positive comment without someone saying you are 100% positive.

Don't even bother trying to post anything positive. You'll be labeled a front office shill and and people can't u derstand why you do nothing but defend every move the FO has ever made.

No rumors on the coveted Conforto?

It's possible but there isn't much stress there to get a stress fracture. A fracture with a fall happens all the time. Even a sneeze in a 65 year I'll with osteoporosis.

How do you get a stress fracture in a rib? That's a new one.

Engel can't be counted on as a full time starter.

Not every team has injuries to 3 starting position players where they each miss at least 3months. And the team still makes the playoffs.

I know you dislike the Vaughn pick and will stick to your agenda no matter what but that is ridiculous.

That's what the extra bullpen arms are for.

Too bad. That patella dislocation and MPFL surgery just robbed him of his legs.

Yes. With it starting as low as 400 ABs it doesn't look like they expect him to be a starter.

In the other thread, it shows an interesting bonus scale for ABs. It is not really structured as a starter contract.

Interesting. Not really structured as a starter contract.

If Burger is at 2B, the Sox have 2 guys with versatility to play nearly everywhere on the field. Dramatically cuts down on the number of backups they need. The non-starters would be Harrison, Garcia, Engel and a catcher currently.

Hopefully. Kent was a passable 2B

But you must judge the team on what they have today. Not what they have when the season begins or when the playoffs begin.

Good in theory and that's the latest philosophy but 9 innings used to be the goal, then it was 7, then the quality start of 6. Now they barely do 5.
