    If you have those other guys starting, I don't think that it would matter much who is in the 5th spot. If De LaRosa comes to camp and wins the final spot in the rotation from Lackey, Doubs and Morlaes, I think that would be a good thing. He'd have to pitch lights out in spring training to beat those guys out. He's not going to be able to pitch like Bard did last spring and win a rotation spot. I know some people think Bard had a good ST. He didn't. He looked like horseshit all spring. Lackey will have the inside track on the last rotation spot, because the team owes him a boatload of money. Doubs will have a strong claim based on his 2012 performance and Morales has shown that he can dominate for stretches too. De LaRosa will have to pitch very well to beat them out. If he can do that, it will be a good thing.

    No one would argue with that.

    Yep, I am thinking if he is our #4 it would mean that we picked up a couple of pretty good starters and that would be a very strong rotation. More likely he'll be a #3 and we'll pick up 1 starter.

    The kid is playing himself right out of prospect status. Ciriaco has acquitted himself well. Plus, in limited appearance he has 14 SBs with 0 CS in 60 games. He'll have a roster spot in 2013 whether or not he is the starting SS. Iglesias? Who knows.

    Reddick hit #29 today. In 14 yrs, J.D. Drew topped 30 HRs once.

    I looked at a split by mistake. His ERA went up by 1/4 of a run and the other stats cited are accurate and not insignificant. My opinions are not unfounded. Stop being a jackass.

    Jenny is definitely a butterface. Heidi was much hotter. Jenny's voice is annoying as hell and Heidi had a pleasing voice with a sexy quality.

    Your analysis is always solid, but your expectations may be just a little high. If he cracks the rotatiion next year, I am hoping that it is in the #5 slot, because I can't see us being a successful team rolling out a staff with Lacky, Doubront, Morales, and De LaRosa. Let the 4 of them battle it out for the 5th spot and the rest are depth options. Maybe he comes to Spring Training and shoots the lights out, but I am not counting on it, and hopefully, the FO is not planning on it.

    Lester's k/9 were down 1.2 per per 9 innings in 2011 (8.5) from 2010 (9.7). That's not insignificant. He has followed that up with another decrease of 1 k per 9 innings (7.5). If you think that is insignificant, Pal, fine, but I did not pull something out of my ass. The team's record was 16-15 in his starts in 2011. That was way down from 20-12 in 2010. The 2011 late and close bullpen was top 3 in the league, so it was not a good sign that Lester was not handing more games to the pen with a chance of winning. His BAbip went down slightly from 2010 (.291) to .287 in 2011, yet his ERA went up from 2.71 to 3.47 -- an increase of 3/4 of a run. These numbers have not been pulled from my ass. They are on his stat sheet. His velocity has been ticking down too. He has been declining for 2 years.

    Okay first off stop with the nastiness. If you want to have a discussion fine. If you want to be a dick, f*** off.

    Rizzo with 2 HRs and 6 RBI. He has 14 dingers in 276 ABs. AGon has 16 HRs in 576 ABs. Thanks Theo.
  12. a700hitter
    Lester is not a #1 or 2. He'd be a strong #4.
  13. a700hitter
    His k's per 9 and other numbers were starting to decline. His command was slipping too. ...And I am talking about the entire season... not just the last month.
  14. a700hitter
    Wow, it's been a couple of months since you have been on this kind of sugar high. SFF, don't get your hopes up on this kid. You'll just be setting yourself up for heartache and devastation.
  15. a700hitter
    I am just very reluctant to waste time and money on a pitcher with known recurring arm injuries.
  16. a700hitter
    Marcum is always on the DL. He's not dependable at all.
  17. a700hitter
    I like him too, but he is a bush leaguer. That was some catch. He cost me some Fantasy points on that catch.
  18. a700hitter
    His decline started in 2011.
  19. a700hitter
    I can't see handing the #1 spot to Lester next season. He is just not the same pitcher that he was 2 years ago.
  20. a700hitter
    I was thinking the same thing. There was little talent at Pawtucket all season long, but especially at the end.
  21. a700hitter
    Slut!
  22. a700hitter
    Agreed.

    and EnRon was a 5 star stock on everyone's buy list. That was a publicly traded company with all sorts of disclosure requirements and no one saw the trouble. Relatively speaking, almost nothing is disclosed about the financial health of a baseball franchise.

    Rush Limbaugh--- just to see the heads of liberals explode all over New England. The mass deaths that would occur in MA would help make Social Security, Medicare and Romney Care solvent.

    They have damaged the brand tremendously in the last 2 years. If their intent was to capitalize on the 100th year anniversary and then sell the team, they must be kicking themselves at this time. They should have sold 2 years ago when the franchise was at its highest value. TV ratings are down The secondary market for their tickets has evaporated which will reverberate to the primary market next season. There will be no rush to buy tickets next year. If they are truly looking to sell the team, they will either keep the payroll low and sell very quickly, or they will look to make one or two splashy acquisitions to gin up fan interest. Either way, they will not be looking to build for the future.
