    You got that right.
  2. a700hitter
    The entire organization deserves to be embarrassed. It's not all Bobby V's fault.
  3. a700hitter
    We have a choice?

    Who in our system will make it to the Big Club in the next 3 or 4 years that will form a solid top of the rotation? In 4 years, Lester will probably be toast, so we will need these guys to be top of the rotation types. How long will your "sane" option take to return this team to prominence?

    I gave you my answer. The premise of your question IMO is completely unrealistic. I was being nice by not saying that. Since you are being obnoxious, I'll be brutally honest. It is a stupid question. I don't answer stupid questions. I discuss things that have a chance of happening.

    Should they be flattered? They stunk up the entire league.

    When a player misses so much time, it can be very difficult to find his groove. I answered your question. Now, knock it off.
  8. a700hitter
    But we will be stocked with value players on that last place club.

    Ellsbury got injured and missed most of the season. Lester has been healthy. His game has been slipping for the last 2 years. I don't think either of them are that good. I don't think they are part of the short or long term solution. These are bottom of the rotation guys at best. They don't project any higher down the road. Most likely, Morales cannot hold up physically over the course of a season as a starter. Even if he can, he's just a bottom of the rotation guy. He's already 26 years old with no track record as an MLB starter. I'm not getting my hopes up.

    We need more than 1 starter, and we are not getting King Felix. Doubs and Morales in the same rotation= 4th place. With King Felix maybe third place.
  11. a700hitter
    Lester is not a #2 at this point. I don't think we can count on him to be a #2 stud.
  12. a700hitter
    Yes, a 4th place team.
  13. a700hitter
    He's a #5. We have guys to compete for that slot. We have Doubront. We got Lackey coming back. One of those 3 will be the #5 or they will take turns in that slot as the season progresses. As I said numerous times, if we break camp with both Morales and Doubs in the rotation, we will stay a 4th place team.
  14. a700hitter
    They are worse than any of us would have thought. At this time, they are arguably the worst team in the league.
  15. a700hitter
    He's in the mix for the 5th slot. Number 5 starters are not a solution. Arguably, all of our pitchers except for Buchholz have been #5 quality starters. We have plenty of them. Right now, we only have 1 guy to put in the first 3 slots. Lester has to earn his way back to the top of the rotation.
  16. a700hitter
    8 HRs in 2 games is way too much. Yes you expect a pitcher's stats to not be as good as they are against bad teams. Eight HRs in two starts is just frightening. Like I said, he can fight it out with Doubs for the 5th slot. If they are both in the rotation, we will be a 4th place team.
  17. a700hitter
    Great Cherries can pick him up again as a depth option.
  18. a700hitter
    You obviously weren't paying attention. That's a little snotty don't you think? When he pitched against a team that could hit like the Yankees, he sucked it hard giving up 8 HRs in less than 9 innings of work. He had 9 starts and his results were mixed. He should compete with Doubs for the #5 spot the loser is a depth option. If they are both in the rotation when they go north, get used to 4th place and fighting to be a .500 team all season.
  19. a700hitter
    A5.25 ERA and 22 HRs in 134 innings is nothing to be turning cartwheels over. He has been gassed for the last 30 innings-- useless since he hit 100 innings.
  20. a700hitter
    I attended probably two of his best outings which were against the Yankees. He's at best a #5. He throws too many pitches. His command is not the greatest. At his best he is a 6 inning pitcher. If he's our #3, we can get used to the basement. One of these guys is our #5 and the other is depth.
  21. a700hitter
    Neither of them is anything but a #5 at best. They are just not very good.
  22. a700hitter
    It looks like last September will extend through this September. Some of the younger people around here think this is what it was like to be a Red Sox fan prior to the current ownership. That's just not true. This is the worst baseball that I have seen in my 45 years of rooting for them. There are some guys here that remember 1966 and prior, but that is a really long time ago.
  23. a700hitter
    He's better than Doubront, although oddly Doubs was very good against the Yankees. Neither is a solid starter and neither is part of the solution.
  24. a700hitter
    Morales is not an answer.
  25. a700hitter
    Bard is toast.
