    If your #5 starter can give you 200 innings and 12 wins every year that is something. You say he would do worse in Boston. The defense he has behind him is atrocious. In the series we played them, one of their fielders forgot the 3 outs at least three times. The ballpark is a joke. Crisp would hit 25 homers there. He's got a good chance of cracking 15 wins this season. His one down year followed a season when he threw 240 innings.

    Lester ain't no AAA pitcher. it reminds me of a story about a great pitcher going over hitters with the pitcher. Regarding one batter, the catcher says, "he's a good fastball hitter." Pitcher replies, "that's fine, but how does he hit a great fastball?"

    What was i thinking!

    He went on the DL with rotator cuff tendinitis. Isn't that breaking down? I would assume that the condition was caused by pitching and not anything viral or communicable. He pitched only 89 innings.

    He broke down after throwing only 89 innings this season. He has a long way to go to be considered a top of the rotation horse.

    I thought the article would be about the Yankees going on a spending spree and signing Texiera, Sabbathia, Sheets and Manny. That would be encouraging, and I could see that happening. After the disastrous 2006, the Red Sox FO paid $200 million for 3 players and went on to win a championship.

    How much help should we expect from the Yankees?

    Byrd has three wins for the Sox. He was a good and timely pickup.

    Ballgame ovah! Cue Dirty Water.

    Millar can still pull anyone's fastball. He'd be a good guy to come off the bench against Mo. Wait... the yankees aren't going to the Playoffs. Nevermind

    Got him with a good slider after a tough AB

    Has Drew taken any BP?
  17. a700hitter
    Any word on when Drew and Lowell will return to the lineup?

    Coco with the hit for the go ahead run.

    Nice poke to right field by Bay. Jason Payton outsmarted himself on that ball and turned it into a double for Minny Manny Lowry.

    Update: 11-9 in the 6th.

    Pitchers who hit 200 innings do so by avoiding injury. Arroyo has a very good record for durability by hitting 200+ innings 4 years in a row. Wakefield has broken down in each of the last 3 years and didn't hit 200 innings. It's a durabilty issue. Thank you for making my point more clear.

    Wins decide pennants and championships. They also seem to be very important in determining HOF election for pitchers. Arroyo fits the back of the rotation role for any team. He eats innings. He's regularly over 200 innings (going on 4 years in a row) and wins 10+ games. The innings from the 4th or 5th spot in the rotation really helps keep a bull pen fresh helping to hide some of its deficiencies. We haven't gotten 200 innings from Wakefield since 2005 and he won't get there in 2008.. Dice K will fall short of 200 innings too as will Beckett.

    But lowering an ERA by more than 1 1/2 runs in 2 months is significant. Have you seen the bandbox that he pitches in? I think he has been a very reliable bck of the rotation guy. he never misses a start and he puts up double digit wins 4 out of 5 years. He should win 15+ games for a really bad Reds team. That's pretty good and frankly, it surprises me. I, for one, have under-rated him.

    The point is that when looking at statistics in connection with my various fantasy teams I noticed that he was doing far better than I had expected. I thought I would share the information on this forum. I thought it might interest some people on this forum, because he was a Red Sox player. I also give updates ocassionally about Manny and other former Sox players. Does this bother you?
