  1. Our DH was Orlando Cepeda. That '73 team had a lineup with Cepeda, Yaz, Reggie Smith, Petrocelli and a young Carlton Fisk.
  2. I remember Boomer Blomberg.
  3. Matthews mistook urinating down his pant leg for a thrill up his leg. He is probably heavily medicated to control his psychosis.
  4. Whether he can be successful at the lower velocity is a big question mark. He couldn't hack it last year.
  5. How would Friday night be for you?
  6. That is a pretty low bar. Not taking that bet would be a huge nonconfidence vote.
  7. What time? I'm not sure if everyone will be available on Easter. How about Friday night?
  8. I gave a blanket invitation to all TalkSox members. I will send you an invitation link to your pm inbox if you should decide that you have the fortitude and skills to take on me, Pal, iortiz and UN among others.
  9. Calling Leon a virtual clone of Vasquez may have been the silliest thing that you have posted here.
  10. Welcome to TalkSox. Would you like to participate in TalkSox Fantasy Baseball?
  11. Are you going to be at the "Trade Pedroia" all season long?
  12. Okay. What was the inning minimum?
  13. it sure sounds like you are downplaying the loss of Vasquez if we were able to replace him by picking through the junk piles of other teams. If Leon is a Vasquez clone, the Red Sox should save themselves the cost of the operation and subsequent rehab. Why bother-- just put the money toward developing pitching.
  14. I already had been convinced.
  15. What is silly is writing a string of posts like this addressing an issue that I had conceded before you signed on --- the ease of replacing Vasquez's defense. He is nothing special. Teams are discarding guys with his kind of glove left and right.
  16. When is the last time that we had a backup catcher catch 70-80 games in a season, which Leon will have to do if Hanigan tops out at 90 games as has been his history? 80 games is 2 seasons for a backup catcher.
  17. Depends, plumber?
  18. There really was nothing special about Vasquez defensive abilities that can't be replaced by some minor league throw away from another organization. What was I thinking?
  19. I'll send a link to your pm inbox.
  20. Varitek numbers last year. With that low of a percentage and the history of our pitchers not working on holding runners, they will run more.
  21. They ran on him significantly more in 2015 than in pat seasons and he threw out a much lower percentage. The percentage was like those put up by Varitek at the end of his career. The stable games played number proves nothing other than he is at best a part time catcher, even in his prime. We will have to get around 80 games from the other guy that we picked up for cab fare.
  22. I will do so immediately. Thanks.
