  1. I don't know what went on with Crawford last year, but it seemed like Francona didn't know how to use him or have any plan to utilize his speed game.
  2. SFF, as to the other part of your prediction, why do you think Doubront will emerge from Spring Training in the rotation?
  3. I honesty don't think the order matters much as long as they have the top six hitters in the top six spots in the order. Whatever the order is will not matter much. My theory is just to bunch your best hitters at the top. We are fortunate to have 6 really good hitters.
  4. Since Cc hates lead-off, I might go with: 1. Pedroia 2. Crawford 3. Ellsbury 4. AGon 5. Youk 6. Ortiz
  5. I like this much better than SFF's. I don't like Pedroia in the 3 hole.
  6. Penny stocks are very very high risk assets.
  7. Ellsbury hits 3rd or Pedroia hits 3rd?
  8. Yes, Terry Ryan used the terminology correctly.
  9. No, his usage of the term is incorrect. Just because people accept it and think it is correct doesn't make it correct. It's not that his statement is technically wrong. It is fundamentally wrong. Terry Ryan's usage is correct.
  10. Whether a team has a captain is a function of the manager's personality and needs. If he needs a guy to keep order in the clubhouse and he has a guy like that on the roster, I am sure he will name someone. I don't think Bobby V wants any other "chiefs" as Dick Williams said in 1967. Sometimes a captain is purely ceremonial, like Jeter or Yaz, based on their accomplishments and tenure. The ceremonial type captain is not a need.
  11. He might have some takers on TalkSox.
  12. Inside or special information about an asset/player would influence the risk classification, but while were are talking about a finite pool as compared to the broad investment markets, there are 30 GM's with scouting departments all looking to get the same information, so I'd lean toward saying that it (i.e., a true low risk/high reward player) doesn't exist, because you only need a couple of the GMs armed with the information to drive up the price. I respect your professional background in this area. Your expertise is definitely reflected in the way you have been discussing this topic.
  13. So, penny stocks are low risk/high reward? That's completely wrong. It's not even a situation where we can agree to disagree. You are just wrong.
