    He was never more than a part time catcher.
  2. a700hitter
    He should be. He couldn't beat UN or SFoC either.
  3. a700hitter
    PayPal. I'll send instructions to your email. We have 9 teams with SFoC dropping. We need one more. Also, on the prizes, I am thinking 3/4 to the Champion and 1/4 to the team with the best regular season record.

    Some one should let Ben know that he is making himself look bad by disagreeing with me. Putz.
  5. a700hitter
    Interesting. All that money in Pawtucket.
  6. a700hitter
    You are clucking away. LOL!!

    +1.

    I think someone gets DFA'd and traded. Coco Crisp is out for 8 weeks. The A's could use one of our spare OFers -- Craig or Nava. Castillo is coming north with us.

    They break camp very soon. How many OF's are still in camp? They have some big decisions to make in the next day or so.

    Come on guys. We need a replacement for SFOC. What about some of the regular posters/baseball sabremetrics authorities. Come flex your statistical muscle. Fantasy is pure stats. Afraid that the old school guy will kick you ass. it really isn't difficult or time-consuming. Like the overpaid knucklehead mlb field managers, you just need to check your lineup once a day.

    The lack of black faces at sporting events is pretty widespread. First of all, they are only 13% of the population and they are at the bottom of the economy. I don't think the lack of black fans at Fenway is a remnant of past racial intolerance by the Red Sox.

    I resent link to goJohn99 and Gringo in pms.
  13. a700hitter
    I sent you the link in a pm.

    Fair enough. We will have to see what Leon has. I doubt he is anywhere close to Vasquez behind the plate. Vaszuez has incredibly quick feet and throwing release.
  15. a700hitter
    Yes he did, but I don't remember who the Cards got for him.
  16. a700hitter
    They had a bunch of mashers on that 1977 team.
  17. a700hitter
    Reggie Smith was traded to the Cards for Rick Wise and Reggie Cleveland. Wise pitched a couple of games in the cold damp Boston April weather and he missed the rest of that year with shoulder trouble.
  18. a700hitter
    I sent you a pm with a link. The draft is Friday at 8 pm.
  19. a700hitter
    I am sorry to learn that. I hope that you feel better. We will miss you as your teams have always been very competitive.
  20. a700hitter
    We are at 8 now iif SFoC stays in. We can proceed with 8. If 2 or more join it will be more challenging.
  21. a700hitter
    Why are you out?
  22. a700hitter
    He's looking very good right now. No grimaces. He seems pain free and in good condition.
  23. a700hitter
    There you go again with that "clone" thing. So, in your opinion, is Vasquez a special defensive talent or do several teams have guys that play defense like Vasquez for which they have no room on their 40 man rosters? If these clone guys are around to be scooped up for carfare, why would you think that there would be a negative impact on our defense from losing Vasquez? It seems to me that you are speaking out of both sides of your mouth.
  24. a700hitter
    Three more needed.
  25. a700hitter
    I know nothing about Leon except he was discarded like tissue paper, so it is pretty safe to assume that he is not at Vasquez's level behind the plate. I'll stand by that. I'll also stand by my opinion that Hanigan is a 80-90 game catcher at best. He is aging and there are signs of decline. I did not trash the defense of either of them, but did not signs of decline by Hanigan. It happens to catchers around their mid-30's. Losing Vaquez is a blow to this team's run prevention ability. On that we both agree. That was the point that I made. Apparently, you didn't like the way I referred to Hanigan and Leon, but the 2015 Red Sox will are not be as good defensively as they would have be with Vasquez catching 120 games and Hanigan catch 30 or 40. I think you have been arguing about style instead of substance as we agree that this is not a good development for team defense.
