  1. Red Sox fans are a strange breed. We land the on of the top 5 starters in baseball with an extremely favorable contract for a guy that has no position next season on the Red Sox and a pitcher that is a few years away and people are worried. LOL!!
  2. Wheeling and dealing by DD!! Wow!
  3. He's a little skinny guy. What is his stuff like?
  4. How do you come to that conclusion. I am not following you.
  5. DD starts wheeling and dealing.
  6. Giants sign Melancon Dodgers sign Rich Hill
  7. Lopez was very unimpressive last year, and Giolito has been developing at a slower rate than had been anticipated. Turner is the one sure thing, and if they want to get Sale and McCuthchen, they will have to part with Turner imo.
  8. Let's post the wheelings and dealings at the Winter Meetings here. I think DD will be wheeling and dealing.
  9. Nats are looking to land Sale and McCutchen. I don't see how they can do both deals without parting with Trea Turner.
  10. Sure, let's move on. Youwere the one trying to make some point with the stats. I just don't think that your stats adequately backed up your argument.
  11. How has Red Sox pitching been versus Yankee pitching throughout the years, not just the last three. You pitted the possibility of not facing Yankee pitching at Yankee stadium against facing Red Sox pitching at Fenway. Again you can't use 3 years of stats to support the argument that you made using career numbers.
  12. Maybe DD is looking to replace Big Papi's big bat with Miggy.
  13. You used career numbers to make your point and are backing them up with last 3 year statistics. That doesn't hold water.
  14. I don't think what you are offering gets it done. Sale is very valuable because he is an underpaid star.
  15. No numbers? The Red Sox have probably been more pitcher challenged over the years than the Yankees... no?
  16. This may more about Red Sox pitching than Fenway. His HRs at Fenway and at home against almost the same in virtually the same number of games.
  17. Not getting him was not a big miss.
  18. Did you read the last sentence of the post to which you responded? That is what I said about the one year contract.
  19. Ididn't look at the numbers, because they don't matter. He has never played full time at Fenway, and the dimensions in RF are much more difficult than the band box at Yankee Stadium. They will negatively impact his HR numbers, and he doesn't have the wheels anymore to stretch hits in the gap. As I said, I don't think we could have gone very wrong if we signed him for a year, but it wasn't a big miss either.
  20. If par is his career averages, he has been below par and dragging down his career averages. OBP has been declining too. His power numbers have been unimpressive in light of the fact that he was playing in the bandbox at Yankee Stadium. Those numbers would be worse in Fenway. I like Beltran, and a one year deal doesn't have too much downside, but his career is on the downside.
  21. 2016 was a very good season, but a last blast for the aging Beltran. 2015 .808 OPS ranks 44th --plenty of players who are less expensive ranked ahead of him 2014 .703 OPS ranks 104th 2013 .830 OPS ranks 32nd behind Daniel Nava So, yes those years 2013-2015 were subpar years for Beltran who has arguably had an HOF career. He is breaking down.
  22. I thought that the Astros were in the lead for EE.
  23. Beltran has been breaking down physically. Aches, pains and injuries led to him having subpar season in 3 of the last four years.
  24. Rainey should just be released. He is bust and the Red Sox just need to cut ties with him and eat the loss.
