OK fine.
Answer the question, who replaces the 36 goals Kessel scored even against the soft competition that he supposedly scored them against?
I also think he doesn't get enough credit for improving his defensive game. He's not a stopper or a great two way forward by any means but there's definitely improvement there.
Dutchy - were you in favor of the TT signing?
What was the split last season?
He's also 21 YEARS OLD.
I find it really hard to take someone who says Mark recchi can replace the offensive production of a Phil Kessel seriously.
1. Jacoby Ellsbury, CF
2. Dustin Pedroia, 2B
3. Kevin Youkils, 3B
4. David Ortiz, DH
5. Jason Bay, LF
6. Jason Varitek, C
7. Rocco Baldelli, RF
8. Nick Green, SS
9. Aaron Bates, 1B
-- John Smoltz, SP
So what does his 15 points in 15 career playoff games tell you then?
He was on pace for 40, then he got mono for screwiung around with the Boston undergrads. He is only 21, you know.
