    Dombrowski: SP likely from FA. Which should we sign?

    If I must. I've read that he likes the West Coast on a personal level (weather, environment, ocean, relax people, less stress more fun ...) and that the ballparks are great for pitchers. His family likes the West Coast life style - Well Emily does - Bode is still a tad young) He likes the NL...

    Trade Rumors

    I know Loria can be a tad crazy but I don't think he's stupid. If he decides to trade Fernandez he'll do it for a good price. He's a businessman first then an owner. Loria is already talking about dumping Marcell Ozuna so the chance he'll let Fernandez go might be slim. I don't see him imploding...

    Dombrowski: SP likely from FA. Which should we sign?

    I've read it. Patrick is a talented writer, speaker and philosopher. If you get a chance he is lecturing in Australia now. Likes his beer. From Kevin Daum: Why are you in the conversation in the first place? Someone invited you into the dynamic. If you truly don't have a stake then find a...

    Dombrowski: SP likely from FA. Which should we sign?

    Interesting article. If he is the player Finn says he is then I for one was wrong about him. However, I don't believe he'll leave the West Coast or the NL.

    Start, Sit, Trade: Play Along with Dave

    That is the crux of so many discussions found on several of the threads. In order to trade for great players it will cost you great players. If you trade Bogaerts who do you get to play short. Trade Siwhart and who catches besides Hanigan. Does trading a solid, even great position player justify...

    Start, Sit, Trade: Play Along with Dave

    Sorry about the English and grammar but I'm a simple minded physicist and computer geek. Sometimes I think I'm back in college surrounded by Liberal Arts under-grads. Not really. It would be great if Loria would but I doubt it. He may be a tad mad but he is not stupid. I imagine he'd want the...

    Start, Sit, Trade: Play Along with Dave

    Minneapolis Millers said: ↑ I get your cautions about Fernandez, but this is hyperbole, right? I mean, Fernandez has been FAR better than Owens at the MLB level, pre and post-surgery, with an xFIP of 2.82 across 289 innings. And they're almost exactly the same age. I understand the value of...

    Dombrowski: SP likely from FA. Which should we sign?

    I stand corrected. I forgot about Travis ... Dah! You are 100% correct that Holt has the IF locked down and Travis can play the corners. That just leaves a 4th OF. Not seeing Bryce there so probably someone from the outside.

    David Ortiz will retire at end of 2016 season.

    If he does not make it to the HOF then baseball is just plain wrong.

    Dombrowski: SP likely from FA. Which should we sign?

    Price, if he'll come and FO will pay him, along with Kimbrel basically would satisfy me. All that would remain is to add a lefty in the pen, a 4th outfielder and maybe another Utility IF. I wanted Chapman but if I had a 2nd choice it would've been Kimbrel. I really don't have a 2nd choice for...

    Wasn't Pedro 5'11"?

    Dombrowski: SP likely from FA. Which should we sign?

    I'm not sure I'd give up our current position players (other than Hanley & Panda) for pitching to simply come back around and buy a FA player to fill the role of who I traded. Seems to lack sense. I am most likely wrong but it just doesn't add up in my head.

    Dombrowski: SP likely from FA. Which should we sign?

    Okay, palms up, I can't argue with this. I not sure one of Cueto or Zimmermann is enough but I have way too much faith/hope/desire that there is within the organization the talent that is needed.There are moments when I just want to leave things as they are in the rotation and watch Rodriguez...

    Dombrowski: SP likely from FA. Which should we sign?

    I'd have to say the only organization that seems to be able to do this is the A's. Agree, Beane blew the Donaldson deal but over the course of his tenure Beane has proven us and the journalists wrong time and time again.

    Dombrowski: SP likely from FA. Which should we sign?

    Yes, exactly. Kimbrel is a nice start towards that goal.

    Dombrowski: SP likely from FA. Which should we sign?

    Thank you. Your example is just about perfect. It reflects that Boston is not unaccustomed to spending heavily for pitching if they believe they can give the team what it is looking for. I agree it did not turn out as Boston was hoping which is not to say this one would turn out the same. The...

    Dombrowski: SP likely from FA. Which should we sign?

    You and I have debated this on and off over the last two or three seasons. We agree to disagree. You may be right but I think otherwise. Cherington may not have taken this on but I'm not so sure DD is that squimish. I gave an example from 2004 season. Pedro & Curt ($29.7) had huge contracts...

    Dombrowski: SP likely from FA. Which should we sign?

    Nothing constructive was offered. A concern over the cost was voiced but other than that nothing. If I remember correctly your concerned seem to be more about my poor research (agree that was definitely an issue) and the fact that you felt Porcello could not be traded based on his last four...
