Hunter is what he is. He's a soft tossing lefty who can get outs if he has his location and will get lambasted if he doesnt. He's your 12th man in the pen. If you have a better option, then he goes to Pawtucket. If you dont, then he's decent to throw out there in garbage time or against the occasional lefty.

Hector Noesi was an afterthought coming into this season. He's a DSL signee who has battled through a bum arm and a 50 game PED suspension to make it finally to the long season leagues at 22. He throws hard, 92-95mph with good sink, but has inconsistent second and third offerings. So much so that most prospect websites had written him off. And now, it seems his curve has finally developed into a reliable pitch. If that is the case, then IMO Noesi becomes a bullpen prospect. And yes, he did just have a great start, but I would think it far fetched for him to take his marginal curve and change and turn them both into MLB pitches in one offseason. If he did, then he is gonna move up this list.

The World Baseball Classic and in-season injuries

how bout we get rid of the WBC? -
Saying that the sox have the edge over the Rays in terms of pitching staff is kinda overstating things, eh? Right now, the sox starters are 29th in the league in ERA, sitting at a dismal 5.90. Only last yr's champs are worse (Philly is at 6.17). Granted, TB isnt blowing the doors off teams, but they do hold a firm 0.82 edge over the sox in terms of starters ERA. Second, I think the Rays are going to have a higher than normal BABIP mostly due to their speed. Guys like Crawford, Upton, Bartlett, Iwamura, and Navarro all can beat out the infield grounders, making them hell to get out of innings or to keep them from advancing. Third, I would still take the sox offense over the long haul. The sox score more runs, have more power and are on base more. Overall, I would consider the two teams pretty even when all things are considered. Defense, speed and starting pitching are in the Ray category. Bullpen, power and on base percentage are in the sox category.

Mauer will set a new precedent for catchers in the marketplace. He'll be young at FA. He is a superior hitter. He can run. And he's a plus defender. Even in this market, you are talking 15-20 mil per yr over probably a 5-8 yr contract. Thats too rich for Minny.

Pin the date: When does Papi break out/get benched
jacksonianmarch replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
he still has plate discipline, I will give you that much. But he can't get around on a 90mph fastball. That's a problem if you are a MLBer. And I thought nothing showed his new form like the double off the monster he had a couple games ago. He smoked that thing, and it barely reached the monster. He's either hurt or finished IMO. -
you are delusional

I was going off the Toronto feed. Being in enemy territory, I need to rely on MLB.com.
-
more pucks went in.
-
I dont care what happened in the regular season. And how do you explain more shots, more time in the attacking zone and way more hits in game 6?
-
My bad. The Bruins were better in game 1 and 5. This is game 7. I'd give the edge to the Hurricans in 2, 3, 4, 6, and thus far in this one...until the OT. The Bruins look like a different team in this OT.
-
Its obvious? Really? Carolina dominated the first 4 games. The Bruins win game 5 in maybe their only dominant game. Game 6, the Hurricanes outhit and outshot the Bruins by far yet Thomas stood on his head. And in Game 7, the game is more even, but the Hurricanes have had more intensity and have seemingly had the puck in the bruins zone longer. So, yeah, I've been following. I think the difference is Thomas just making ridiculous saves. And my money is on Samsonov.
-
here we go. Hockey in HD is ridiculous
-
Thomas was ridiculous tonight. The Hurricanes are a much better team IMO. The Bruins just have a ridiculous goalie.
-
Another thing to notice is that Gardner reached base 5 of 12 times in the series, and scored 3 of those times. If he can consistently get on base at a 35% rate, he will be valuable to this team.
-
And, 3 games back of the sox in the loss column. The Jays are not gonna last with this rotation.
-
The big number ? 36.2. Those are the IP from our starters in the 5 games not pitched by Hughes. And who would have thought, we'd win 4 of those 5 games. Starters IP is the name of the game. 8IP from CC. He's getting hot. We have Hughes up next, cross the fingers that he can give some depth. If not, Wang will be up soon enough.

Yankees win, THAAAAAAA YANKEES WIN!
-
Must be an issue with gun. He still is sawing off bats like its his job
-
90mph tops this time. Hmm.
-
86mph cutter? Uh oh.
-
He gave up 2 long fly balls and a hard grounder. He was lucky
-
Sabathia should not be in right now
-
MATSUI!!!
-
Sabathia was good, not great tonight. Seemed to miss his spots at times and then be completely untouchable. But kept us in there. He's at 101 pitches and really struggled through that inning. I wonder if he comes out for the 8th.
