We could have a rotation with Scherzer and Price.
-
Quite a record of wasted payroll.
-
LOL!! It wasn't Ben's $ either, and that is why he resigned (i.e. got fired).
-
lol!!

After one of Bard's bad Spring Training starts, when Bobby V was asked for a comment he said that "[bard] had that backing up third base thing down pretty good." LOL!!
-
It is never the intent of any outing in Spring Training to give up a bunch of Home Runs. Whatever Kelly was working on, he wasn't executing if opposing hitters took him deep 3 times. At this juncture of Spring Training, the intent is for the starting pitchers to go 5 or 6 innings. Kelly had trouble getting through 4.

Then sell the tickets for a reasonable price. -
Maybe Castillo will get traded. Goodness, Ben threw away $72 million on Castillo, $88 million on Pablo (very cheap by the pound), $82 million on Porcello (a #4/5 starter) and $90 Ramirez (a DH in Waiting). That is a lot of wasted dough!
-
Here's a riddle: What do you call a starting pitcher that has one bad inning per outing giving up 4-5 runs? A bad pitcher. Stuff means nothing if you can't execute.

The Draft is scheduled for this coming Saturday (4/2). We have 12 teams signed up for the draft, but we need dues from a couple of teams -- Your Long Lost Pal and Thunderstruck need to pay their dues if they want to draft a team.
-
He's not in panic mode. If you lit a fire under his ass, he would barely react. He is in idiot mode, which is where he has always been. I followed his Toronto teams closely, and the last 2 years in Boston were more of the same. There is no rhyme or reason to his moves and his teams run the bases like imbeciles.
-
But for the cancer, I think Farrell would have been shown the door as part of a clean sweep with Ben and Larry. I would like to see Lovullo get the job, but unfortunately, we would have to collapse in April for that to happen, and none of us wants to see that.
-
And where does that leave Chris Young?

Madison Square Garden -- The World's Most Famous Arena. Also, self-named just like America's Most Beloved Ballpark. -
On slow news days, Cafardo has a habit of printing stuff that was said here first.
-
I would have deployed the capital in a different manner. I never understood signing Pablo and Hanley in that off season. One of them, yes, but not both. Especially, when our starting pitching was a steaming pile of garbage.
-
Cafardo probably read it here.
-
I would rather the $22 million have been spent on good starting pitching. That has been the bigger need for the last 2 off seasons. That is what I think HR's contract is unecessary. We have guys who can play 1B and hit. We don't have a lot of good pitching in the organization.
-
Why? He didn't take his own career serious enough to get in shape.
-
And do we need a full time DH making $22 million/year? That is more than Ortiz has ever made, and he is the greatest DH in history. Full time DH's are a dying breed. Ortiz may be the last of the full time full career DH's. Also, if Hanley plays well at 1B, I think even DD will have trouble telling him to leave his glove at home. This whole line of discussion started with my post taking a shot at BC for saddling us with 2 big unnecessary contracts.
-
As usual, we are arguing past each other. And Travis will have trouble getting playing time next year. If Hanley can handle 1B this year and stays healthy, Travis will have nowhere to play.
-
I didn't say that he didn't do a good job. I have said that he is far better than BC. I just think you overstated the "perennial bottom dweller" aspect.
-
Perennial bottom dwellers? Theo took over in 2012. In 2009, the Cubs finished 2nd, and they won their division in 2008.
-
Once again, you argue in a nonresponsive manner to a post of mine .
-
Pablo, Hanley, Shaw, and Travis --Four players for three positons (1B, 3B and DH). Someone is blocked, but hey if you want to exonerate Ben for the $178 million of contracts, it is your choice.
