I never thoght he was the greatest evuh,and I don't think he is a bum now. He is exactly what I thought he would be-- a kid struggling to make the team and prove himself. I was hoping he would come to camp and emerge as a big time stud and earn a rotation spot, but it doesn't look that way right now. One more outing like the last two and they will probably send him out on his minor league assignment.

There is a difference between how hard guys go when they are trying to impress as opposed to when they know they have made the team.

Lars, Kalish

Both teams have been doing it for ages.
-
The Dodgers have been very effective throughout the years of overhyping their prospects.

Yep, salary dump was a great move, but whether it can even be called a trade depends on what Rubby and Wester can do.

Rubby with 2 stinkers in a row.

Maybe their doctors are bigger imbeciles than ours.

I didn't gloat down the stretch in 2011 even though I warned that we were circling the drain on or around September 1st. You were here then, so you know that too. I don't know why you are jumping in to pick fight with me with really nothing to back up what you are saying? Do we need to go doen this road? As for the offseason 2011, it was brutal, but you were part of it. My recollection is that the biggest argument that offseason was over whether DC was a big market-- not even a Red Sox topic.

The King of TalkSox was not dancing on heads about being right. It was because I had the most posts, nothing more than that. You were here throughout the season, so you know that I didn't gloat last year. Puhlease. Do you want to see gloating, because I could go that way this year if you like. I don't like to gloat about losing, because losing stings too much.

When have you predicted the precise number of wins. If that is your measure of being right, no one is ever right. Several people predicted that the team could blow up if they had any injuries, etc. Everything would have had to go right with no injuries for the 2012 team to be competitive. This is politician like spin from you. On the one hand, you accuse people of always predicting gloom and doom because they enjoy it, but on the other hand, when gloom and doom happens, you say that it wasn't predicted, because the number of losses was not predicted. This is utter nonsense. It is talking out of both sides of your mouth. If we didn't predict failure last year, then we must have predicted success, so we can't be perpetual gloom and doomers. No wonder you could only last a year in Brooklyn with this kind of ******** argument. GFO with this nonsense.

Best post of the off season.:thumbsup:

SFF, I and a bunch of others could have danced on everyone's head last year, but we didn't. There was no reason to. We sucked and the season was miserable. You usually stick to the facts and your own opinions, but this is made up BS.
-
It is 5 years of failure. Acknowledging failure doesn't equate with expecting to win every year. It just doesn't. I expect the 2013 team to finish 4thor last as do many experrs and fans. If you want to consider that a success, go right ahead, but neither of us expects a playoff bound team. I can't even make sense of what you are saying above.
-
Oh, so you don't like people mischaracterizing your opinions and ideas.

He woud have favored letting Ortiz walk if the FO had let him walk. He has no stomach to take a view opposite of the FO. What is the basis for anyone believing that some team would have offered a two year contract to a 37 year old injured Ortiz when he didn't get any such offers when he was healthy and age 35 and 36? It absurd to think that he might have been snatched away from us.

A700's Spring Training Thoughts and Observations

I said since the end of last season, that I would like to see some competitive, respectable baseball in 2013, and maybe a few meaningful games in September. Who are these people that expect to win in 2013 on this site? Names please.
-
Promonitions? He was injured when the season started. They were fully aware of his physical condition. They should have monitored his condition. No one was going to sign a guy with one leg out from under us. When and if he healed, we give him two years. You find no fault with the organization when it has its worst season since 1965. You make excuse after excuse without finding fault. That's a bit unrealistic, and a recipe for continuing to suck unless issues are identified and rectified.
-
They should have offered him arbitration to lock him in, because no team was going to offer him multiple years until he could run. No one offered him multiple years when he was healthy. This could have been done while continuing to negotiate the 2 year deal. The due diligence would have entailed monitoring his physical condition. They just shouldn't have offered 2 years until he could run. It's pretty much common sense.

A700's Spring Training Thoughts and Observations
a700hitter replied to a700hitter's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Bradley looked pretty good tonight. He's patient in his plate appearances, yet he swings aggressively. He went 1 for 3. I like his plate discipline and aggressiveness. He looks to have a strong accurate arm-- something we have not seen in CF for more than 10 years. Iglesias still can't get himself on base, but hopefully his new approach will pay dividends. Doubront, Hanrahan, Bailey and Miller all had good outings. Doubront's velocity was down from his norm. He was 90-91 most of the outing. If the Ft Myer's gun had been slow in the past, it is not slow at this point. Hanrahan was clocking in at 96. Miller was at 95-96. Bailey was throwing 93. The O's showcased a couple of live arms out there tonight. Bundy, the starter hit 98 and Gausman was sitting at 97. Brock Holt had a rough night a second base tonight. He couldn't turn 2 easy DPs in the first inning. -

Farrell is not a douche. He's more of a doofus. -
It was stupid to give 2 years. They had access to his medical records and knew that he wasn't healed. They should have known the recovery period and potential complications. They could have locked him up for 1 year to satisfy the fans. He would have no multiple year takers. He didn't have takers last year when he was healthy. Two years was stupid imprudent use of resources. If he wanted to whine, so be it. He whines all the time anyway.
