You don't say? You really think you know more than the people shelling out the money, and who have an entire scouting team in place for their own players? Not only do you know nothing, you have a hilarious sense of self-entitlement.Your t.v based scouting report mean little.

In your mind.

Marco Scutaro: Another ill conceived signing by the FO!!!! All he does is get on base and play sound D!!!!!! He sucks!!!!!

Excellent inning for Lester. Please don't pull a Beckett.

Nobody seems to like Joe Morgan. Oh, and that's the 16th looking K delivered by Lester.

^ Hahahahahha.

He's being sarcastic. @a700: It's May 2010. It's basically a 5-year contract. @redsoxrules: Bay will bounce back.

Well played, sir.

Jacko, when you want to forcefully introduce a really stupid opinion, you'll go all out to do so, which is hilarious. How exactly is defense overrated? Fact: A good defense improves a pitching staff's performance. So for a pitching staff to be as effective as it can be, good defense is required. This is just another one of your attempts to minimize the Pitching and Defense strategy as propaganda. While it's true that D up the middle is the most important aspect, you'd be retarded to say that strong defense at every position (including 3B and LF) does not have a direct impact on the amount of runs allowed by a baseball team, specially if you consider the type of pitching stff owned by the Red Sox. Funny thing is, had the Yankees taken a similar approach, you'd have jumped on the bandwagon so fast you'd have strained your back in the process. Then again, i expect nothing less from you, and neither should anyone else. Please continue, like the article, to spew "facts" suited to the convenience of your extremely annoying arguments.

You must be Dominican too. I'll prove a point here: You're a Theo basher. You even acknowledged that you "Liked Beltre", but now that he's not looking as expected on the field, you're taking an "I always knew he'd be a bust" approach, which is a lie. You just found an opening to bash the FO and the team , and ran with it. Hindsight is 20/20. Some objectivity would be nice as well.

You must be Dominican or really like Dominicans. People only defend Beltre under one of those circumstances. It's not because of the potential upside!

Seconded.

That's the main point IMO. They planned to get something of value for Lowell, but couldn't.

What?

Excellent post. The mere premise of discounting the importance of defense as an integral part of most winning ballclubs is ridiculous, not to mention the article is full of half-truths and complete lies.

But of course, the trolling shall gain massive intensity now.

Better than Bitch Tits.
