Lester is not a #1 or 2. He'd be a strong #4.

Red Sox 2012/2013 Offseason Thread
a700hitter replied to SoxFanForsyth's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
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. -
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.
-
I am just very reluctant to waste time and money on a pitcher with known recurring arm injuries.
-
Marcum is always on the DL. He's not dependable at all.
-
I like him too, but he is a bush leaguer. That was some catch. He cost me some Fantasy points on that catch.

Red Sox 2012/2013 Offseason Thread

His decline started in 2011. -
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.
-
I was thinking the same thing. There was little talent at Pawtucket all season long, but especially at the end.
-
Slut!
-
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.

They did a good job of building value, but I think they have damaged that value in the last couple of years.
-
They have created some mess for themselves.
-
Tradition? -- nah
-
And now the mega trade makes sense. They were trimming expenses to make the balance sheet look more attractive. It was not done for payroll flexibility to rebuild the roster. Hopefully, they will sell quickly and get an ownership group in here that does more than pay lip service to winning.
-
I've had my fill of the interleague stuff. They should end it for a decade or so until it becomes a novelty again.
-
Youk with 2 HRs tonight and 4 RBI against the Tigers tonight.
-
^ I overstated the FO effort. There was no effort.
-
And I think our FO was counting on that gimmick to keep the 2012 team competitive, but we just were so bad that we couldn't stay competitive since July.
-
Also, the Phillies have a very easy schedule for the next almost 2 weeks.
-
Yes, the Phillies got back to .500 yesterday, and that overpaid closer, whats-his-name, has a win and a save on Sunday and a save yesterday. He sucks. The Phillies, unlike the Red Sox, are making a run.
-
I like Napoli. Plus, I like that he can catch part time.
