    If you have had hot streaks , you should understand that the odds shift in those situations, just as they shift for some players under various circumstances. A .270 hitter isn't always a .270 hitter. Many players have a month or 2 during the season throughout their careers where they out perform their lifetime statistics and they might have a month where they historically slump. Their talent remains the same relative to their opposition. Yet the performances clearly are disparate and fall into very discernible patterns. Some guys are slow starters but come on during the warmer weather. These are your hot and cold hands. Many are easily identifiable and predictable, but others not so much.

    Go get him DD!

    As stated by someone who never had the hot hand.

    This isn't good to see. This knee is becoming problematic.

    Mike Carp

    Plugged?

    My non-pitching roster roster would be: Catchers; Leon Vasquez Swihart (AAA) Infield: Hanley Pedroia Bogaerts Pablo Holt Moreland TBA (Hernandez, Travis, Ploufe) Outfield Bradley Betts Benitendi Young Edit: I see only 1 open pitching spot and 1 open bench spot.

    Buch has better stuff than Pom, but not worth the additional $10 million.
  9. a700hitter
    Sox interested in Trevor Plouffe. That would make a good platoon with Pablo. He is fairly versatile i the field too.

    My 2017 Staff: Starters: Porcello Price Sale ERod Wright Relievers: Pomeranz (6th/7th inning) Barnes (6th/7th inning) Kimbrel (Closer) Thornburg (8th inning) Kelly Ross TBA

    Kosuke Fukudome -- I pronounced his last name Fuk-u-do-me

    Hannigan is shot-- an empty shell.

    Buch is a $1 roster filler player in an auction fantasy league.

    A Spring Training invitation would be worth it just for the shits and giggles.
  15. a700hitter
    Why not extend him a non-roster invitation to Spring Training?

    And this is why GM's always have to make moves to improve their MLB roster. You can never stand pat, because the competition is upgrading.

    Maybe the Blue Jays deal was no longer on the table.

    Manny is looking to make a comeback. Is there a DH spot in Boston? http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/manny-ramirez-could-reportedly-attempt-a-comeback-according-to-his-wife/

    Guardians to sign Encarnacion for 3 years $65 million. Good addition for the Guardians. With their pitching staff, they will be tough to beat.

    There are no posts about what DD is doing? I think you just made some stuff up.
  21. a700hitter
    If all 30 GMs were walking down the street together, I might recognize 2 of them.
  22. a700hitter
    Or if he can't get 3 years.
  23. a700hitter
    The stories that I read indicated that DD was pushng Buch, but the other GMs were interested in Pom. Last year, there were also no takers for Buch. The Mariners declined on Buch and went for Miley.

    His career was a very frustrating disappointment. He had such great stuff, and he knew how to pitch. Early in his career, he had an unhittable changeup, and his ceiling was so high. I really expected such great things for him. I was at his debut at fenway -- a Day game as part of a Day/Night Double Header against the Angels. There was so much hoopla around him that the Red Sox handed out a special scorecard type of flyer that day. I think that I still have that stored somewhere.

    You almost sound disappointed. Don't worry. I have it on good authority that it will be a real s*** show in 2021.
