    Hanley's hitting has been the brightest spot on the 2015 squad. I hope the injury isn't too bad.

    If you take into consideration the time value of money, which you need to do in or to have a valid comparison, it is not close to double.
  3. a700hitter
    Let me see your work on this. I have to see how $155 million over 6 years is worth twice as much as $82.5 over 4 years. Sounds like some fuzzy math.

    Kluber has had one great season and he is 29 years old. He doesn't come close to Lester. Tanaka has had two-thirds of one excellent season and looks like he is heading to Mark Prior permanent residency on the DL Cueto has not been as consistent or as durable as Lester Darvish was off to a nice start to his career and now is MIA due to TJ

    It is not double Porcello's deal. It is for 2 more seasons. Big difference.
  6. a700hitter
    Seriously Bells, comparing Porcello to Lester. You are out on a limb that will get sawed off.

    The Red Sox have established a new market level for middle of the rotation pitchers. Maybe Porcello becomes a #2 or even a #1, but he isn't one yet. When he signed, he was a #3. That will be the new target for agents of middle of the rotation guys. The Red Sox FO helped accelerate the inflation of pitching cost with this deal. Whether it turns out to be a good deal, is not the point that I was making or debating. It was surprising to me that Ben was a market maker in this instance as he had not done that in his tenure. Theo, on the other hand, set the market several times during his tenure.

    That's what I thought, but it doesn't fit U.N.'s prospects in the league which is why I thought there was a translation issue.

    "Nigh"? In Spanish does that mean stink, because that wouldd be appropriate.

    And Spitball's post carries added weight as he is usually on the opposite side of issues from SBF and he appreciates the game in a different way than Fred.

    Leon is a veteran of the minor leagues. I don't think his experience carries a lot more weightthan Swihart's.
  12. a700hitter
    I don't think this group of pitchers will continue at this level of ineffectiveness, but I don't think they will improve consistently enough to be a middle of the pack rotation which they will need to be to remain at .500 and be competitve. I continue to shake my head about locking down Miley for 3 years. I just don't see the wisdom in that.

    Congratulations Adam. Well done. See you again.

    Isn't Mayweather older than Manny?
  15. a700hitter
    Good to have you back and I am pretty sure that this place is big enough for both of you.
  16. a700hitter
    First manager got fired tonight --Ron Roenicke bite the dust.
  17. a700hitter
    I'm not blind, but the piling on is ridiculous. It's 10 against 1 all the time. Even when he leaves, people are shooting at him. You hate him. Enjoy his absence.
  18. a700hitter
    Mayweather just can't be hit. It is hard to beat him if you can't hit him.
  19. a700hitter
    Adam, I need a few of our boys to do some hitting tonight to help me pull out the week. It's been a good battle this week.
  20. a700hitter
    You are a jerkoff failure. LOL!
  21. a700hitter
    Yet, my boss begs me not to retire.
  22. a700hitter
    You need to cut this s***. Go take a tranquilizer and prepare your next resignation letter at work.
  23. a700hitter
    Yep, it does. We have some very angry people here who have to demean others. Shame on those of you in the middle who don't call them out on it. Fred is a wild and crazy fan, and he would be the first to admit it. He goes after the players and FO with fervor and he has occasionally crossed the line with other posters, but I he is the bigger person than his attackers as he has several times offered apologies when he has crossed the line. I have never seen an apology offered to Fred by the self righteous haters who are so caught up in their self righteous hate that they can rationalize their abhorrent behavior.
  24. a700hitter
    And that was enough for you to quit yet another job.
  25. a700hitter
    Yes, the posters should always be a topic of discussion.
