  1. There’s gotta be some arb raises in there, but I’ve spent zero time thinking about it. Probably not much.
  2. I’d probably do that, and I don’t even particularly like Lynn.
  3. more words came after the “...” that explicitly say he didn’t think cease had no chance. His point was that cease can’t locate his fastball (true) and that he’s skeptical of his ability to rectify this (fair). You seem to think this means he thinks cease is doomed, and based your response off of that. You were rebutting an argument that wasn’t made. as for your argument that young pitchers who can’t locate their fastball are doomed, i agree they aren’t. Using the top, just estimating, .0001% of likely outcomes is a stretch, but gio is more plausible. The likelihood of reaching that level isn’t good, but it’s possible. That’s the gamble. Some are willing to take it some aren’t. anyways I’m going to leave it at that on my end bc you probably agree these back and forths get annoying for everyone.
  4. To be fair, he didn’t say no chance, he said 50/50 at best. I also don’t think comparing any young, unestablished player to a hall of famer is fair...Especially freaks like Nolan Ryan and Randy Johnson who are the ultimate exception to just about every rule. I’m not arguing one way or another, just my thoughts on those two things.
  5. Yes..If it wasn’t for the wife of a non-tender candidate it would be the 1950’s again.
  6. I know a way we can get Barry Bonds and Ken Griffey Jr....and we won’t have to give up that much!
  7. He’s bad defensively. He’s not young. He’s still a pretty good hitter, though.
  8. Retirement is trying to sign machado.
  9. Just messing around dude. I don’t think my way of teasing and joking transfers well to the internet and I doubt I’ll ever get used to it.
  10. They’ve done well getting the most out of guys, so I’m all for it.
  11. Weird because we speak the same language. We should have the issues and concerns and be immediate best pals.
  12. Madrigal, giolito, kopech and the rest of our Anglo crew must be excited to have a manager that has English as his first language. He must be able to relate to them.
  13. 1. Mexico city 2. New york 3. LA 4. toronto 5. chicago
  14. 2nd team in 4th city I think sox fans overrate team
  15. We’ll be saying the same thing in 2046 on la Russia’s 100th birthday and the the Sox finish second but are just one player away so maybe next year.
  16. It we can get Marquez for Vaughn I do it every time.
