    Yes, a 4th place team.
  2. 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.
  3. a700hitter
    They are worse than any of us would have thought. At this time, they are arguably the worst team in the league.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. a700hitter
    Great Cherries can pick him up again as a depth option.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. a700hitter
    Neither of them is anything but a #5 at best. They are just not very good.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. a700hitter
    Morales is not an answer.
  14. a700hitter
    Bard is toast.
  15. a700hitter
    Turn out the Lights the Party's over.
  16. a700hitter
    He has no idea where he is throwing the ball.
  17. a700hitter
    He pitched well against the Yankees this season, but suck against everyone else.
  18. a700hitter
    He's sabremetrically inclined? What do you mean?
  19. a700hitter
    They took him off the table as an option by committing to him as a starter.
  20. a700hitter
    BJ has too much dog in him. In Tampa, he has Longo to keep him in line. He's scared shitless of Longo. I don't think we have anyone here willing to get in his face. At the right price, I'd take him, but he ain't going to come cheap.
  21. a700hitter
    Dan Duquette has built himself a nice team in Baltimore. With Duke and Showalter the O's are a resurgent franchise. Our owners cast Duke aside like an old shoe, but he could take our current GM and his predecessor to school.
  22. a700hitter
    McCarthy was not going to be a solution for us. Every season he spends considerable time on the DL, and based on this one year I am not willing to concede that he has found consistency. We need 2 established reliable starters. This should be the #1 priority in the off season. They may have to spend more than they would like, but as I said earlier, they will have to pay a premium to get players after a season like this. If they wait for a bargain, they will come up empty and all of us will be left pinning our hopes on the likes of Morales, Doubront and Lackey to round out the staff after Buchholz and Lester, with several new buckets of s*** as depth options.
  23. a700hitter
    A $15-20 million deal for 1 year? I don't see anyone offering him that. I think he will be happy to get a 3 year Josh Willingham-type deal, which by the way was the best signing of the last off season. The guy is putting up a great season in a pitcher's ballpark.
  24. a700hitter
    I don't think we need to rush Ellsbury out of town. He is one of the few guys that we have left with any talent.
  25. a700hitter
    We are so used to the AL East being a tough division, but that hasn't been the case this season. The AL West Division made the AL East their bitches this year.
