    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.

    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.

    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.
  4. a700hitter
    Neither of them is anything but a #5 at best. They are just not very good.

    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.

    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.
  7. a700hitter
    Morales is not an answer.
  8. a700hitter
    Bard is toast.

    Turn out the Lights the Party's over.
  10. a700hitter
    He has no idea where he is throwing the ball.
  11. a700hitter
    He pitched well against the Yankees this season, but suck against everyone else.
  12. a700hitter
    He's sabremetrically inclined? What do you mean?
  13. a700hitter
    They took him off the table as an option by committing to him as a starter.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. a700hitter
    I like Shane. He can be a bit of a hot head, but he plays hard and smart. I am not sure that he is a 1 year sign. I could see the Giants going after him.
  21. a700hitter
    Bard was not an option. They decided to multiply the late inning woes that would be caused be losing their best closer in team history by making the 8th inning guy a starter. Take a look at the stats. One of the biggest fall-offs by the 2012 team was the late inning pen. In late and close situations, our pen gave up the most runs in the league. They also had the worst OBP. In 2011 they ranked 3rd in both categories. So, the late inning pen was a major weakness.
  22. a700hitter
    We would have to over pay Granderson to get him from the Yankees. We are a dysfunctional circus. Why would he come here?
  23. a700hitter
    Have you been enjoying the garbage that we roll out as late inning relievers this year?
  24. a700hitter
    Well, this is a glimpse of the team with all the guys that those fans wanted to see sent away. They called Youkilis a whiner, Beckett a cancer, Papelbon greedy, and Ortiz a prima dona. Well, this is what we look like without them. Maybe they shouldn't be so happy to send Papi packing.
  25. a700hitter
    It is baffling. Maybe they are afraid of exposing him.:dunno:
