    Not a good start. Although it wasnt a bad pitch
  2. jacksonianmarch
    I doubt I ever called him ineffective, but I guarantee I called him awful or bad or whatever. CC wasnt good, but in the end, he was effective

    He converted to the pen in 2005. When he was in the pen that yr, he was dominant. 2006 he was average, with a high 4's ERA but more than a K per inning and a WHIP of 1.33. 2007, he was dominant, lights out. 2008, he got hurt and wasnt effective 2009, he missed with arm surgery 2010, he was dominant to a ridiculous level. As a reliever, he has shown he has the stuff and has proven he can be effective. His last 2 full seasons as a reliever, he's had an ERA in the low 2's and a WHIP around 1 with well more than 1 K per 9IP. Deny it all you want, but he has closer stuff and has shown the capacity to put up closer numbers

    Nothing to call me out on. You're just a little pissy today.

    Star players typically do not make the best coaches. If I were the sox, I would see if I could pry Duncan away
  6. jacksonianmarch
    Did you actually watch the game? And CC wasnt good. I have attested to that. But he was effective. And definitely lucky.

    60.1IP 75K 11BB 1.34ERA 0.68WHIP. Those are closers numbers. He has a closer's repertoire. And he is a FA. The only other guy on the wire who truly fits as a closer is Soriano. I guarantee you that Benoit will have suitors who view him as a closer and others who view him as a setup guy. Especially teams like Milwaukee

    CC gave up about 2 hard hit balls. That being said, he was wild in the zone which is why the Rangers were able to serve some balls into the holes and into the outfield. He wasnt at his best, but he was definitely effective. Effectiveness, to me, means results.

    All we need is a lead after 6 and we win this thing. Wood and Mo are looking like Mo and Wetteland of 96

    Gregg should be an outrageous salary. If I were the sox, I would focus on Benoit and Fuentes. Fuentes dominates lefties and Benoit has stuff that is closer material. Although I think Benoit does get a gig as a closer on the open market, most likely in Chicago (AL or NL) or on another smaller market team

    The offense has been crap lately, although Game 5 was a nice team turnaround. We'll see. I have no idea how tonight should work out. If Hughes throws his game, we're winning. But we know he is just as likely to get shelled as he is to dominate
  12. jacksonianmarch
    I think they both play into it here. Losing a draft pick for a proven player who fills a regular need isnt all that bad. But losing your first rounder AND paying in terms of yrs and salary for a mid 30's reliever who wont be a setup man or closer is a risky, risky proposition
  13. jacksonianmarch
    This series is definitely going 7 games
  14. jacksonianmarch
    How far do you think his homer total is going to fall next yr? I predict 25 homers for 2011, so almost a 30 homer dropoff
  15. jacksonianmarch
    It's the yay-yo
  16. jacksonianmarch
    They should be less annoyed by the Cliff Lee questions and more annoyed by the fact that they cannot hit the f***ing guy
  17. jacksonianmarch
    And that bears out as well. Most of the time, spending big money on relievers is a great way to get burned. You build a good pen from within. You tweak it as needed, but a good pen is built from within
  18. jacksonianmarch
    The red sox have had a pick before the second round in every yr since 2004. The yr they signed Lugo, they lost 2 type B FA's and had 2 supp round picks. It seems when the sox sign some Type A's, they balance them out with losing either type B's or Type A's as well. There is a very good chance that could happen again with Beltre or VMart. I am just saying that if the sox resign their guys and have no supp picks coming their way, I would assume Theo would be reticent to be dropped out of the first round for a lefty reliever. And I would agree with him. There are a lot of relievers out there who could do the job and arent going to need pick compensation
  19. jacksonianmarch
    Yes, that is what I meant. I doubt Soriano goes back to setting up, he seems to like the big moment as the closer

    Holland will be in their rotation next yr
  22. jacksonianmarch
    An interesting dilemma this offseason will be whether to offer Wood arbitration. He makes $10 mil now, so if he accepted, he'd be guaranteed $8 million in 2011, but he wants to close and after his dominance in NY, he could get a multi-yr deal. He's been so damn good that it made a moot point actually relevant

    Not happening. SD needs offense and Greinke gives them more of what they have. In terms of SD needing a "reset", that already occured when they dealt away Peavy. Their team was young and talented this past yr, and I guarantee you that when AdGon is dealt, the return will be ridiculous. They are an interesting franchise to watch. Their young pitching is very talented, but they are incredibly thin in the offensive ranks, especially with their most recent and best pick (Tate) being injured and being a HSer.
