I don't see how Saito, Penny, Baldelli and the Ramirez/Coco trade have been bad moves
-
yea, bringing up Buchholz, trading Saito and bullpenning Smoltz could be the move here
-
why exactly is BABIP always attributed to luck? I understand Joba is a strikeout pitcher but good pitchers are expected to have the ability to avoid the sweet spot of the bat and force weak grounders or shallow flies as well.
-
He just needs to figure out how to avoid the one bad inning that has been the common theme in his three bad starts
-
very very difficult to argue that Bard is better than Joba ever was....difficult because its untrue
-
its time to kick ass and chew bubblegum......and im all out of gum
-
wow, they couldve had the two best pitchers in baseball on their staff
-
youre just unwilling to admit I have a point
-
if the playoffs started today, who would you pick between Penny and Wakefield are your #3? assuming youll say Penny, thats my point
-
-
no, im just saying that he manages to use a "which pick do you regret the most" topic and turn it into a back-patting fest
-
I was being sarcastic.... Victor Martinez really is the best solution to the problem. He can give Varitek days off and Lowell days off. There's no real other impact bat out there who can do that besides Russ Martin who sucks this year anyway.

only Dojji....
-
dont have the full lineup quite yet but Ellsbury is leading off
-
cause if the playoffs started today, Penny is the third best starter
-
my ideal lineup right now is... Ellsbury Pedroia Youkilis Ortiz Bay Drew Lowell Varitek Lowrie where do you improve?
-
but if Smoltz can make it back within range of what he used to be, wouldn't you want him in the playoff rotation?
-
Jesse Litsch....obviously
-
-
Fine but up until very recently, he's only pitched garbage time innings
-
im sure if the Yankees decided to top the offer, the Jays would go back to whoever made offers to see if they were interested in topping what the Yankees offered hell, Ricciardi may take less than the Yankees would offer simply so they don't have to face Halladay, which would be longer than 1.5 years since the Yankees would most likely be able to keep him from FA

Yea, he has fantastic stuff but where are these claims that he has a great attitude coming from? he may for all I know but he hasn't really faced any adversity I guess since he really turned it on in the minors last season. But I've always believed that the biggest challenge a young pitcher faces is how they deal with the fact that opposing hitters start to read the book on him. Don't get me wrong though, I'm playing devil's advocate more than anything here and I'm very optimistic about his ability to become a dominant reliever. Just trying to keep a little reality here.
