and I don't disagree with that.
-
He is not as good as a starter as a reliever. It is not the role he excels in. It's very simple.
-
That was just an example of one stat that is worse in his starts than his relief appearances. Look up his splits. All of his stats as a starter are worse than they are when he is a reliever. There is no basis to say that he excels as a spot starter --- none at all.
-
I looked at his career splits as a starter. All of his numbers are worse across the board when compared to his reliever stats. His ERA is up about half of a run as starter. Yes, he excels as a long reliever/swingman, but he has not exceled in his career starts.
-
Aceves has had only 9 career starts. It is not a role in which he excels. He has been a better reliever.
-
i haven't suggested that we pursue a trade(s).
-
Are you saying that you expect each our starters to make all of their remaining starts, with the exception of the 1 being missed by Lackey?
-
Sure, make my pet peeve into a research project. Take your time. That's what I was hoping for. Afterall, you must get to the bottom of this. Who was I targeting? Who was being called out? TalkSox readers demand answers.
-
I stated it pretty clearly. There is no ambiguity.
-
Can't you read?
-
Has Lackey long tossed or thrown at all since the injury?
-
Anyone who doesn't have the courage to make a prediction(s) shouldn't be weighing in to criticize those that made predictions. Just my opinion.
-
We're only 7 games into the season and we already had a starting pitcher grab his arm on the mound unable to continue.
-
If you posted in this thread but made no predictions, GTFOH... seriously.
-
Oh nonsense. Ben and Cherries for Executive of the Year!!!
-
Yes, but he said "or" very lucky. He didn't say which was the case. So, what is your point? As for giving Cherries credit for anything, it is a little early for that being that we are a mere 7 games into the season. I think it is okay to reserve judgmebt on him at this point. If you want to nominate him for GM of the year 7 games into the season, go right ahead. I will wait to see how this plays out. I'll wait to see how our pitching depth options perform as the injuries happen and starts are missed, etc. before I pass judgment on Cherries performance.

Read the first line. He acknowledges that he might not be dumb.

4/8 vs Baltimore - Home Opener

It's like San Francisco east but without the hills and cable cars. -
He's as crazy as Julian Tavares was but not in an amusing or quirky way-- more in a scary way.
-
I am amazed at how people can't enjoy winning without being confrontational with fellow Sox fans. It's amazing to me. I thought winning would bring harmony, but apparently there are malcontents who can't even enjoy success.
-
Oh pish posh. He humiliates himself quite regularly. Almost every attempt of his to be a snarky prick is lame and full of incorrect premises, recollections, intepretations, etc.
-
Anyone who has been here for any length of time understands where Doji is coming from. He thinks outside the box and has some different ideas. Sometimes he gets a bit carried away, but who doesn't from time to time? He's been right about quite a few players and moves throughout the years. There's no cause to subject him to ridicule.
-
This is a bold prediction. It would be great to see him do it.
-
What's going on? U.N. has no problems with posters other than SBF... right?
-
I think that it is way too early to make a conclusion about this group. Most of them have had only one start thus far. I am sure that several of the newly acquired pitchers around baseball will have positive impacts on their 2013 teams. As for Harang, he has been a 5 inning pitcher for several years already with little success. I don't like his prospects with us. Has anyone signed Freddie Garcia? Even with his diminished stuff, he has consistently shown that he can give his team a chance to win. That's all you can ask of a depth option. Hopefully, Aceves can do that for us at aleast as well as Julian Tavarez did in 2007.
