I absolutely disagree with this. If anything needs to improve in terms of positional players, it's getting an actual professional shortstop rather than the pair of utility men we've had faking it at the position.
-
I wonder how much Buehrle would cost.
-
That was an important message to the entire Red Sox farm system. Jobs in Boston can be earned. Sometimes that hasn't been the case.
-
Well, if not Bedard, then why not go after Mark Buehrle? He's a great pitcher so I wouldn't worry that much about park factors, guys with his level of skill and finesse tend to be what they are, wherever they are. And considering that he'd be maybe the 4th guy in our rotation, his skillset is absolutely ideal for that, especially given our lineup.
-
That's not how it worked when Eric Gagne was a Type A in 2006. Amount of playing time doesn't matter, only what you do with it, and Bedard has been a Type A kinda guy when he's been on the field. The only problem vis--a-vis Bedard is that if you offer him arb he might accept.
-
Buehrle? He'd be an ideal lower middle of the rotation inning burning monster even if he did get hit a little more at Fenway.

And they don't, and I have a hard time blaming them. See if you can score Erik Bedard cheaply. He's not the sexy trade target, but it's only 2 months, you can probably keep him healthy for 2 months if you're willing to skip a start or two. Failing that, move up to Kuroda. But stay away from multiyear commitments to young pitchers because that sort of crap is going to cost you.

THat umpire so totally threw that game that it was patently, absurdly obvious. It's not even that it's hard to understand why. I mean it was the bottom of the freaking 19th inning and he finally had a call he could leverage into the ending of the game. It's just that it was so blatant a "end this nightmare, I wanna go home" call that there's no disputing that's exactly what it was.

7/26 vs. Kansas City

So at what point do we just leave Pedroua in the 4 hole for awhile? He kills the ball there. -
I'll use either one depending on how I feel at the moment.

Pirates and Braves going into the 18th.

So let me get this straight. You want a pitcher who's made his bread and butter in the NL West, is going to build his value off one big year he isn't repeating and has practically no experience against the American League East?? If you don't mind rksiing the NL West for pitchers, go after Kuroda. At least he's pitching to type this year.
-
What about trying to sound the Jays out on Marc Cantspellit? (this guy) Pretty good LOOGY type with solid command who's really good against LHH. They're desperate for some quality help in middle infield, it might be a good place to deposit Jed Lowrie where he can finally play second base like he really should have all along. If you get He Who Shall Not Be Spelled, and maybe add John McDonald to that to help us out at short defensively, that wouldn't be a terrible deal.
-
Just this year but we have cost controls over him for at least a few more seasons. 2 years or 3, not sure which. I'm pretty sure his 10 innings in '10 don't count as a year of service time which makes it 3. He hasn't been in the league long enough to be a full UFA, so we get him cheap, and we get him for awhile.
-
Well you oughta know, because the Yankees are considering calling them up. Seriously, where do you get off poking fun at our depth? What do the Yankees have other than CC? Oh yeah and how's that surefire ace Phil Hughes doin eh? Remember when he was "better than Buchholz?" You really think you want to go poking at anyone else's rotation when Bartolo Colon and Freddy Garcia are in your freaking playoff rotation???
-
And the point is, he was never supposed to be. He was brought in as insurance, and MLFA signed for depth, and depth is what he's provided. That's a good thing.
-
They are in the sense I'm using here because we're talking about what a guy was signed to be.
-
I was only in it for the freebies. Like I said I'd have paid the exact same amount of money for GDA anyhow, so why on earth not?
-
Nope. The players that were hurt ahead of him don't disappear off the depth chart that way. He's the 7th or 8th guy. He just happens to be in the majors at the moment because of injuries ahead of him.
-
-
I just think it's funny that we're doing this again. Pedroia and Cano. Jeter and Garciaparra. Gardner and Ellsbury, Hughes and Lester. Chamberlain and Buchholz. And now Lavarnway and Montero.
-
If the Mets come hat in hand and offer something like Beltran for Che-Hsuan Lin, a B-/C+ prospect with big league utility but not a blue chip, I take it and play Beltran in left field. If Crawford complains he can hit better next year.
