    The team Ben left behind needs a complete pitching overhaul. He also left the wreckage of three last place teams. Other than that, good job, Ben! Kudos! We will give you a recommendation.

    Fair enough. You try not being such a homer and I will look for more positives.
  3. a700hitter
    That is a good one. When the time comes, I will use that one. Cue the lol from Kimmi for your post and the eye roll at mine.

    You seemed to like "Mike the Ass" -- a name that another poster came up with, not me. You lol'd it. I just tried to agree with you and go along with the crowd, but even when I do that you criticize me. You should try a new act. I haven't criticized Hazen yet. I suspect that he will be a errand boy.
  5. a700hitter
    ok. I will go with Mike the Ass

    The recent reports on Hanley just don't add up. Almost 2 weeks ago the reports were that he had been taking batting practice and swinging pain free for a week or 10 days driving balls out of the park regularly. In those same reports, it was stated that his shoulder was not causing him problems throwing. At that point, it was being reported that the last obstacle to him making his debut at first base was his comfort level defensively. Fast forward 10 days /2 weeks and he is shut down for the season due to his shoulder. How did he re-injure his shoulder while rehabbing? It doesn't add up, and reading between the lines he was healthy but reluctant to play first base and the Red Sox could not convince him, so they used the injured shoulder as an excuse and shut him down. He's gone. We just need to wait for an announcement.

    That was over your head?
  8. a700hitter
    This move is for the birds.
  9. a700hitter
    I will call him Mike Hazbeen.

    Hopefully the next news story involving these two is that one or both of them has been traded.
  11. a700hitter
    there would be no tears from me.
  12. a700hitter
    A new suit. Big whoop! Get me some pitching!
  13. a700hitter
    a nice set ?
  14. a700hitter
    Whether lineup protection is bunk is an irrelevant argument. What is relevant, is that if Hanley does not play first base next season, he will not be on the team. I don't see DD having another defensive experiment, so I think he is gone. That leaves a 40 year old Ortiz as the team's only HR threat. That will hurt run production imo. It takes too many singles to score runs consistently. We need another bopper.

    He could get caught in a numbers squeeze. Porcello's contract is too big to move and ER will get a rotation spot. I think they will add 2 quality top of the rotation pitchers. That leaves one spot up for grabs by Miley, Buchholz and Kelly. Unfortunately for Miley, he is the most tradeable of the three.

    so much for FIP.
  17. a700hitter
    Hopefully, he can continue this performance next season. As for his 2015 season performance, ithas been a complete failure. He will finish the season with an ERA hovering around 5. In addition to Hanley's fielding, Porcello's performance was one of the biggest individual disappointments on the 2015 team and one of the biggest reasons for the team being in last place.
  18. a700hitter
    Lol! Leaving the game mojo!
  19. a700hitter
    Next pig! Oh Noe!
  20. a700hitter
    lol!
  21. a700hitter
    Our old friend fatty Andy Bailey gave up a 3 run homer to Russell Martin in the 7th with 2 outs. Jays lead the Yanks 4-0. It is huge for the Jays that Stroman is back.
  22. a700hitter
    I guess that Porcello just couldn't stand the pressure of having a sub 5 ERA.
  23. a700hitter
    Even with Loney the rest can't add up to more than $15 million.
  24. a700hitter
    Hanley would've played Bradley's ball into a triple.
  25. a700hitter
    Excellent execution on that bunt by Marrero. Even if Loney fielded it cleanly, I don't think anyone would have been covering first base. Fundamentals executed. I am not used to seeing that.
