    Someone told me that Napoli is dating a super model. That may be making him weak.

    The Mets have been giving signals that they would move Dillon Gee. He might be worth looking at. He shouldn't have a high trade value -- a nice lower level prospect or 2 should get it done. If the Sox are committed to XB at SS and Marrero has no future in the organization, I think the Mets would jump at him. They might give up Niese for him. The Mets are having a lot of problems with Flores defense at SS. Marrero could possibly play for their big club right now.

    Game time @ 7:07 Wade Miley vs. Aaron Sanchez Game 1 of a 3 game weekend set where the two worst pitching staffs in the American League face-off against each other in that launching pad north of the border. There should be some offensive fireworks.

    I didn't see Masterson's last start, but if his velocity was still arouind 87-88, he needs to be sent to the pen ASAP. Maybe he can rebuild his velocity working out of the pen. His velocity was down last year. It remained down in Spring Training and unless he ticked up on Wednesday, he is still a good 4 MPH below where he needs to be effective. At 87-88, he will be the same 5 + ERA poitcher that he was last year.

    At least he is a proven winner. We don't have one of those.

    Dick squared times 2.
  7. a700hitter
    Okay. Below market? Seriously?

    Also what about Farrell? He came in last in both years at the helm of the Blue Jays. If we come in last this year, he will have a track record of 3 last place finishes in 4 years.

    Bells, Didn't you already acknowledge the new market level? Are you looking to disagree with yourself?

    lol!

    I guess that Nieves got fired as a result of pressure from the reactionary fans who fill Fenway every game. That must be the reason since everything has been going according to plan.
  12. a700hitter
    Such a dick. Check that -- 2 dicks.
  13. a700hitter
    Like I said maybe Nieves is drinking or maybe he slept with Henry's girlfriend, or maybe the obvious is the truth-- he was a sacrificial lamb. If Nieves was the problem, why have they cleaned out Mujica and Varvaro also. Are they drinking too.
  14. a700hitter
    Whatever, you say Kimmi. There have been many 4 year contracts in the last several year and none have gotten an AAV of $20 million plus. Your argument is a rationalization of a fact.

    The pitching staff has the worst ERA in baseball. The pitching coach is the same pitching coach that was in place when the 2013 staff got off to a very hot start. Do the math. You are a math teacher. This is a desperation move by the organization which has realized that it has built a very shaky staff. Of course there is a possibility that Nievees has taken to the bottle. This pitching staff has increased my alcohol consumption. Am I understanding correctly that you oppose this management decision?

    I just stated some facts which people have been trying their darndest to refute, but they have been unsuccessful. Why all the effort if the facts are pointless. Sounds like surrender.
  17. a700hitter
    Don't argue with me. The reactionary FO made these moves firing Nieves and cutting Mujica.
  18. a700hitter
    None of this changes the facts that I stated.
  19. a700hitter
    Bells, I am not anti this deal. I was surprised that they gave him the deal so early and I am surprised that Ben set a new market level. He has not done that during his tenure. I have repeated this over and over. I am not anti the Porcello deal. That is what you think I am. IMOn he is the only positive that this staff has going for it. Don't you remember that I have wagered a case of beer that Porcello will have an ERA under 4? Would I do that if I was anti the Porcello deal?
  20. a700hitter
    FO being very reactionary. . Luckily they don't post in our game threads. What a whiney bunch they sound like! LOL!
  21. a700hitter
    You have been following the progress of the minor league pitchers more closely than I have been following them. I agree that the better performers should be promoted.
  22. a700hitter
    It does give the agents for pitchers a target to use in negotiations.
  23. a700hitter
    A. I have not ignored the shorter term of years, but that doesn't lower the AAV to below $20 per year. No other #2 is getting that over a contract of a similar length. B. 2014 was his best season in a 6 year career. He would have to improve on his career numbers to earn this contract.
  24. a700hitter
    I am not arguing whether it will be a good deal or not. I have merely staed two facts about the deal. Whether the deal turns out to be a good value is a fact yet to be determined.
  25. a700hitter
    A discussion with him is considered whining if you disagree with him. He is always obnoxious and belligerant.
