And no one is arguing that it isn’t a combination of factors. The discussion is over which factor has had the biggest influence. Do you think that each of the factors has had the exact same degree of influence?

OMG, is this directed at me? You are constantly sniping. LOL! Actually, this was somewhat humorous. I can find humor even when the snark is directed at me. Can you?
-
Spud makes snarky remarks as many do on this board. He usually doesn’t mention anyone by name when he drops those comments. You and your little group that like to pile on are thin skinned and think everything is dlrected at you personally. It is not. You need to get over yourselves and develop a sense of humor.

I didn’t watch a minute of it. The entire season is a Home Run Derby. We saw a pretty spectacular Home Run Derby when Price last pitched against the Yankees.

They have told these stories numerous times on NESN, WEEI and possibly some of the Nationally broadcasted games, but I guess that it doesn’t exist for some people in the Internet age unless there is a link. LOL!

May Shields is a Hunter.

I agree. It is also not baseless speculation as it has been reported numerous times how other players are observing him and his preparation. Some players are having their BP video taped like he does. He has been open about sharing his knowledge with his mates. There was a mentorship void when Ortiz left. During his tenure , he watched a ton of video and he was a master at spotting pitchers’ tendencies. He would often bring some of the guys into the video room to show them what he had spotted. This is not speculation. It does have an effect.

What would make him cheap would also make him undesirable to acquire. The Mets are at the end of their patience with him. Before his arm injury, he was very frustrating with high pitch counts and lots of walks. He seemed to be gettin his act together right before his surgery. Post surgery, he has been regained his form as a frustratingly inconsistent pitcher. He might be adequate for our 5th slot, but I wouldn’t offer much for him.

Hopefully, just happy cheer.

No naysaying about our Sox.

A prorated portion of his $5 million salary would seem to fit the budget.
-
And the authors of those obscure articles usually acknowledge (if honest) that there studies are not dispositive proof.
-
No one said that he didn't have talents.
-
I would work for the Red Sox as an usher if given the chance. Edit: I am retired. i don't need the money and just love to be around baseball.

That is the spirit of a good discussion and healthy exchange of ideas.

Plus, he makes the best latte ever served in a Major League front office.

A good night sleep might improve your cognition.

The statheads already apply the standard to everyone else, so holding myself to the standard would be wholly unnecessary and redundant. You have a nice night.
-
I will for the statheads who think their opinions have a higher level of reliability.
-
I was at a season ticket holder event where President Sam Kennedy stated that the Red Sox would be interested in Harper.
-
It wasn't lighthearted. It was childish, and Spud was completely correct in characterizing Kimmi's assertion as baseless speculation.
-
That would be crazy if a 104 win team was a Wild Card team, but I don't see that happening.
-
Not at all. I am just applying the standards of the statheads to the statheads whose behavior has been quite infantile in this instance. A poster points out out that an assertion is mere opinion and speculation. That seems fair enough to me. He is met with derision by 3 or 4 posters who tell him that he would discard the stats. Pretty childish. Don't ya think?
-
There were no stats for the assertion. It was pure worthless opinion by Kimmi. That was Spud’s point.
-
Let's see the stats.
