    The Dodgers have taken a lot of hits in this thread, but right now they look unstoppable. Also, the guys that we dumped on them (AGon, Punto, Crawford) have a higher WAR than our replacements at those positions.

    Victorino is the best OFer on the team. If Ellsbury leaves, he should be the CFer.
  3. a700hitter
    5 for Mo and 6 for Papelbon. The same highway.
  4. a700hitter
    Yep, Zim burned out the entire team. In the playoff game he had to resort to playing pot-bellied Bob Bailey.
  5. a700hitter
    I haven't seen anything very special about his hands or him catching the ball, but he has an absolute cannon of an arm and very accurate. He's better than Holt or Snyder by a mile.
  6. a700hitter
    I know that the Red Sox are having a great season when they cause yankee fans to want to puke. Go Red Sox!

    or maybe he wants to stay in Boston but he will end up elsewhere, because he would be foolish not to maximize the best contractual opportunity of his career.
  8. a700hitter
    If Napoli gets hot and puts up big power numbers down the stretch, they might re-sign him. If not, he's not worth $13 miilion/year. Carp could get a shot, maybe even Nava.

    Bailey has a surgically repaired elbow that was acting up before he had his shoulder surgically repaired. He is likely to end up on the junk heap of broken down pitchers.
  10. a700hitter
    He's toast. His body is a train wreck.
  11. a700hitter
    And Ben held himself accountable.
  12. a700hitter
    There was plenty of reasonsand blame to go aroundfor 2012, and Ben is not exempt.
  13. a700hitter
    I think the reasons for the worst season in 47 years are worth studying.
  14. a700hitter
    It didn't offend me. I was just surprised that you were calling for Jon Sterling to be shot.
  15. a700hitter
    2012 is complete. There is nothing more to be known about 2012. 2013 is not complete.
  16. a700hitter
    Good description. Is that what they call those fan like things that are put on the bat to cause wind resistance when taking practice swings?
  17. a700hitter
    Yes the trade with the Dodgers was with an eye toward the 2013 season. It was not a 2012 move. It was essentially the blowing up of the 2012 mistakes.
  18. a700hitter
    His bat looks extremely slow at times. Maybe he should try a lighter bat.
  19. a700hitter
    To his credit, Ben was very critical of the decisions he made in building the 2012 team. The worst record in 47 years, deserves an F even if his mommy was grading him. He has righted the ship for 2013, but that doesn't mean that 2012 wasn't an utter failure.
  20. a700hitter
    and the trade didn't help us one iota-- last year or this year. The A's got one really good season out of Reddick. Clear advantage A's.
  21. a700hitter
    Shot? And you got votes for "nicest member"?
  22. a700hitter
    I always weigh about the moves made by the GM. Giving them a grade is another thing altogether. It's like discussing whether the owners are doing a good job. There are no owners or GM,s on the waiver wire, becoming free agents or available for trades. They are not going anywhere. We are stuck with them. Yes, let's discuss their moves. As for a discussion of their grades, they each get a grade at the end of each season-- the standings. Last year he was the GM of a last place team. There's no sugar coaing that. This year the team is in first place. Tkose are his grades.
  23. a700hitter
    I'll be sure to join at some point--probably after our last game.
  24. a700hitter
    Who cares about rating a gm? They don't have a baseball card, no jerseys with their names. They don't get hits or throw pitches. Why not root for our accountants and marketing people. I understand that they are the best in the business. Who cares.
  25. a700hitter
    can we just enjoy the present? LOL! Seriously, we have only won one division in 17 years.
