My comfort is important to me. Lol!
-
I love what Wake has done for the Sox, but I can't stand watching him pitch.
-
I expected much more from Dice K. Didn't you? I didn't expect 5 full seasons from Drew, but I didn't expect him to be a .233 hitter in his healthiest season in years. Did you? I expected Lugo to suck. That deal was obviously a poor investment from the beginning.
-
I don't think his win total will be highly valued in light of the fact that he rarely gets beyond the 5th inning. If he doesn't come back strong in September, teams will not be clamoring for a guy with an 8+ ERA. If you are talking about getting back some prospects for him, that could happenn, but getting a few prospects three years into the contract would be viewed as a huge failure by management that expected to be getting a dominant pitcher in his prime. He has never approached what he was billed as.
-
I wish they would part ways with Wakefield, but I don't see that happening after is only All Star season.
-
I disagree that they would get anyone of consequence in return, and I think two decent years would be looked upon as a failure when the FO expected a dominating pitcher in his prime.
-
My strategy would be to lump together the major league ready pitching prospects, (i.e. Buchholz and Bowden) with Anderson. After a year and a half of Halladay, the next generation of minor league pitchers will be major league ready. If the Sox get Halladay or Lee, there is no need to hold onto Buchholz, because there would be no room for him. After a trade, next year's rotation would be Beckett, Halladay/Lee, Lester, Wakefield and Dice K. There would be no spot for Buccholz, which makes him the logical prospect to be traded.
-
You didn't address my larger point that it would be a huge admission of failure. I don't think the FO is willing to go down that road. JH is not going to tolerate a pattern of failure from Theo. Theo is going to try to make this work.
-
I am hoping for a win and praying for a big-time pitcher by Friday.
-
I hope the kid makes a good showing and keeps his trade value high.
-
I don't think he'll get traded this off season for two reasons: 1. His Market Value will be way down. I don't think they will want to sell low. 2. Trading him 3 years into a 6 year contract that cost the Sox $104 million would be a bitter failure pill to swallow. They have already admitted failure on Lugo and eaten $9 million, and Drew is stinking up the joint too. Of the 3 acquisitions made in the 2006 offseason, it is looking like none of that money was well spent.

Hunter Strickland throws no-no

Who threw a no-hitter, and why should I care? -
He should not have been sent out for the 8th.

Is it because he looks like the AFLAC guy?

Bay is a horrible fielder. He should have had that ball.

That was the word that was going around Cooperstown over the weekend.

Cafardo is all for trading prospects for Halladay on the pre-game show.
-
You don't think he'd be better than a 7.50 ERA?
