dc. Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Cruz is ninth on all time post season hr list - passed Ruth tonight. Still 13 behind Manny for 1st. But fastest to 16 in history (fewest games) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spen Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Well after a couple relaxed days, it's time for me to start thinking about game 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spen Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Hardy extended 3 years. Bookmark this if you want PaPa, I like the move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Hardy extended 3 years. Bookmark this if you want PaPa, I like the move.I think that was foolish. It looks like he had the start to back issues this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spen Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Yeah, but bad backs never persist. Ever. The heal and go away. Always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papasmurfbell Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Did you diagnose Larry Bird? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc. Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 He's had injury issues for a while. In not opposed to the move because it's only three years. I care more about his defense than his bat really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 His back will effect that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc. Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Could. It clearly had more effect this year on his bat than his defense. Three years simply seems a reasonable amount of time for a guy his age. There's no perfect solution there that I can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 The O's can't afford to have FA's not succeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spen Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Could. It clearly had more effect this year on his bat than his defense. Three years simply seems a reasonable amount of time for a guy his age. There's no perfect solution there that I can see.I think so too. And I have read numerous things from fans of other teams who are upset he won't be on the market this summer. I think you want the stability of JJ between the two young infielders. I think he is better but comparable to Bordick and he was solid past 35. I also think the signing sends the right message to the players and potential players. So, in summation, even if it goes horribly wrong I think it was a good move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Look at Tex. Could the O's absorb losses like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc. Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 But ... JJ isn't Tex. His contract isn't Tex's - or anything close. It's not close in length and it's not close in annual payout. So, no... we couldn't afford to have a Tex contract fail. But we don't have one yet. Here's what I don't entirely get, Papa... earlier this year you were not only saying the O's don't really have the stuff to get to the playoffs, but also saying that their window was pretty small. I don't know that many people disagreed with the latter. But there's not a lot of options to extend it except to pursue some kind of free agent. Hardy could slide. Any player could slide. But if you need a SS - and you want to extend your window while some other players develop - what is your suggested alternative? Play the market for Asdrubal Cabrera is a popular alternative I've heard... similar to Hardy, but younger... but in a competitive market he'll cost as much or more. Or a stop-gap in between? Schoop or Flaherty? Another young'n? Not sure I buy that as really being possible if the goal is to keep winning games. Your usual complaints are about length and size of contract. I don't really see either complaint here being valid. When it comes to predicting performance, it's all up in the air... so, what's the real complaint?
