How does he not contribute enough? He score 84 f***ing runs this season.
-
You, my friend, are a colossal idiot.
-
I agree, and called the Lucic extension because he's "the typical Bruin". He better score 20 to justify that contract. I have my doubts as to him doing so, because he plays with the best setup guy in the game and didn't sniff that mark last season.
-
Hill's just fine.
-
Tough to justify spending more money on Lucic than Krejci.
-
You're so wrong it hurts. In case you haven't noticed, QB is not the issue with the Packers right now. It's pretty much everything else.
-
Well said VA. I think most of this board gets the value JD Bbrings to the table.
-
you know what? that is an excelent post, Pc, And it had points that I never really considered. Well done. And VA, did you listen to the interview? Theo explains his thoughts on players "asking out of games". If it doesn't bother the GM, it shouldn't bother the fans. I'm on my phone right now but I'll responsd to PC's post in greater detail later.

We're talking about the same Josh Beckett that was the 2003World Series MVP right? And if you're telling me the biggest job a pitching coach has is to spot injury, yu're really proving my point - the sucesses anf dailures of the pitchers is directly tied to the pitcher, not his coach.

That's a fair statement to makem RE: overvaluing Drew on this board. I suppose my follow up question to you then is do you feel thatDrew, who occupies 10% of the Red sox budget, has been worth that investment? you mention he might be overpaid - the question I have is what is the appropriate salary for a player of Drew's caliber? Could he have been signed by the Red Sox in the fall of 2006 for that amount (answer is probably no). what is the tangible amount of the overpay and is that value worth saing by having a replacement player in right? These are questions that are never brought up when discussing Drew and really are a vital piece to the entire equation.
-
^Well said. And Jacko, if you call the Sox staff a question mark I hope you do the same for the Yanks.
-
no one is saying he's the second coming of Jesu or anything of the kind, so put that strawman away. The thing is, and Theo alluded to it in the interview, is that Drew is the easy target on this team when things are going poorly. He doesn't show emotion, he never lets anything rattle him, and that gives people the impression he is aloofor doesn't care. My only intention with this thread was to show what Theo thinks of the guy and just how good of a fit he has been during his time here. there are people who still view his signing as one of the worst of Theo's tenure, which simply isn't the case at all

So we give all the credit to the pitching coach when things go well and none when things go bad? A pitching coach, like a manager, is as successful as the personnel he is given. Unlike a manager, he has none of the ancilliary tasks that would make his job difficult. I agree with Dipre 100% here.
-
The guy slugs .500. How much raw power do you need? Fenway is a killer hitting environment fr LHH when it comes to home runs.
-
I doubt it. There just isn't enough interest on the board methinks.
-
I'll be honest, I chose the wording of the title for the play on words with his last name. Still, I feel like this guy is tremendously undervalued in this town and we should be giving him more credit for the offensive turnaround we saw in the second half.
-
Farrell made Beckett what he is? what a crock. Did Magadan make Pedroia what he is?
-
on the bright side, Bergeron looked fantastic. hopefully he doesn't get hit in the head again.
-
I despise the whole "highest paid player on the team" argument. Beckett, Lowell, Ortiz are all within 3 million I think, and Drew's contract came when he was a FA in a much different economic climate. The Sox had a need for RF and filled it with the best player possible. Did they overpay? Maybe. But in the grand sceme of things it"s irrelevant to a team like the Sox and heMs earned his contract the last two seasons
-
Good post Spud. Those three things are pretty much spot on. Theo embarrassed Felger and Mazz, probably the best thing about it.
-
Dude, come on. We couldn't possibly go in to the season with Rask as the primary goalie. Losing Kessel doesn't hurt, we have Sturm to replace the goals!!
-
I agree that applying the law of averages is just as foolish as saying "we have their number".
-
Pathetic showing.
-
That's not the context you used it in, though.
-
In the summer yeah October nights in Boston? hmmmm Also, law of averages is a logical fallacy.
