    So there are two years of arb left? He'll probably be average this year. If he shoots out the lights next season, we get to keep him for 1 more yr at full FMV. To me, it is not worth the bumps in the road developing a guy unless you get a few good years out of him. That's just my opinion.

    The last time when Beckett got checked out for his peace of mind was in 2008 when he got pins and needles from sleeping on his arm. He missed three weeks and consulted doctors outside of the organization. When he came back, he was out of pitching shape. He threw two lousy games, one good game and then strained his lat, effectively ending the teams chances for back to back championships.

    BTW, I didn't call you anything. I was just giving you some life advice.
  4. a700hitter
    You have to joke about something when your #1 starter and closer are on the shelf to start the season. Ah, opening day doesn't matter.
  5. a700hitter
    Yes, and we all need life advice from you.

    How can he have only 2.148 years of service? He came up to the majors on May 13, 2009. Arb control is really not control. He'll be getting Fair Market Value at arb. No big value there. We will not be suffering through rough spots to enjoy a below market value commodity for any period of time. Arb is designed to give market value, and then he will walk.

    From today's Boston Herald about Bailey's thumb injury:

    Wakefield probably already has a call into the FO.

    That's just toopid!

    It looks like the lack of pitching depth will an issue from the beginning. Thank goodness opening day doesn't matter.

    The problem with developing Bard in place is that if it takes him a year to develop, we will lose control of him almost immediately. This is not a case of developing a kid (and riding out the growing pains) who will be under the organizations control for a few years.

    Bridge year? The problem that I have with developing Bard as a starter is that he will be coming up on free agency around the time that he establishes himself as a good starter. I really hate developing guys for other teams.

    It took more than 40 years to replace Dick "the Monster" Radatz. Maybe this time it will only take 20 years.

    We get it. You hate Papelbon, but 9th innings will be miserable without him.
  16. a700hitter
    It doesn't sound like the Sox are convinced that it is minor.

    Okay, you win. Opening Day doesn't matter. None of the games matter. I never said that Opening Day 2011 was the only reason why we did n't make the playoffs, but the fact is if they had won that game... If you notice, I didn't say that you were wrong that if we had won game 162 we would have been in the playoffs. The last game was just as important as the first. And when you lose by 1 game, they are all equally important. They all matter.

    Of course they are not trying to stop. They overpaid for Ortiz this year and last year. They just keep making the wrong decisions.
  20. a700hitter
    and you can't say opening day doesn't matter.
  21. a700hitter
    That's right, but yet so many people are willing to conclude that he didn't want to stay. I guess the allure of the bright lights of Philadelphia was too much to ignore.
  22. a700hitter
    It's interesting that UN keeps directing comments toward me even though I don't see his posts. I guess it is probably lost on him that it is impossible to ignore A700Hitter.:harhar:

    Aviles has been hitting like Aviles for the last week.

    and Mo blew a World Series game 7 in 2001. I shudder to think what Boston fans would have thought of Papelbon if he had ever done that. Yankee fans, at least, realized they had greatness in their midst.
  25. a700hitter
    We have plenty of overpaid guys on the Sox. It's a long list. If people want to argue that papelbon is overpaid, I will not even counter the argument, but don't act like we don't have a boatload of guys who aren't overpaid, and some of them are very under-performing. I would have preferred that the Sox have decided to overpay Papelbon, who I think has plenty left in his tank instead of making the decision to overpay any of the following: Lackey Ortiz Crawford
