    Both sides have a point. You shouldn't be insulted, but if the admin and mods have repeatedly asked you to stop making political threads, then you should stop making political threads. They run the site, and you, as a member, should abide by their rules. (Or whereabouts at least).

    Excellent.

    Think again with the Rangers. And the Twins massively overperformed with RISP last year. Not to mention that lineup will struggle against lefty pitching. Not to mention the Sox scored more runs last year than both those teams, and the Rangers, while they added Vlad Guerrero, lost Marlon Byrd. They were the 10th-ranked offense in the Majors last year, so how can they be better than a Sox team that scored 88 more runs than them?

    I posted that quote in this thread already.

    Also i don't see how anyone can take Green's defensive sample size seriously. He played a little more than half a season of defense at SS. Small sample sizes greatly reduce the usefulness of UZR. This has been discussed to the point of exhaustion.

    They seem positive from my perspective.

    Top 10 offenses of 2009: Yankees Angels Red Sox Phillies Twins Rockies Rays Blue Jays Brewers Rangers I'd like to see someone give me a logical explanation of why the Sox won't be a top-5 AL offense. The Angels downgraded, the Twins massively overperformed with RISP, and that lineup's gonna struggle against quality lefty pitching. From a logical standpoint, i see the Sox being the third best offense, behind (obviously) the Yankees and Rays, while scoring right around 835 runs.

    All notorious first-pitch swingers, and Hall and Hermida both are far smaller sample sizes. Doesn't surprise me with Beltre at all, he's a guy with a lot of power that hacks at everything, so great first-pitch stats should be a given. Bill Hall: 316 PA. Hermida: 127 PA.

    Interesting quote from Mr. Jason Bay when asked about the Red Sox offense: Love the use of the word "laughable".

    Now that i think about it, doesn't he live in Boston?

    Wow, great post.

    I've given up. He'll keep being an ******* and making douchebag comments like this, and if i were to confront him, then i'll receive the typical "This is X Dominican issue". He's an idiot, and there's nothing we can do about it, so i suggest we all just ignore him. Maybe he'll go away.

    That is true. However, baseball reference, in its splits section, has an adjusted OPS statistic that depends on ball-strike count. Nomar's OPS+ swinging at the first pitch is 119, which is very much above league average. Nomar Garciaparra splits ball-strike count.

    The "young Dominican player" population is bigger than any other "young X country player" population, not to mention the issue that this is the only country where MLB hasn't stepped up and started regulating trainer activity for fear that the influx of young talent might diminish.

    I thinking your "Against good pitching" line does hold some merit. From my recollection Mike Mussina used to always victimize Garciaparra by giving him a knuckle curve low and away early in the count which he would, without a doubt, swing at, usually resulting in a pop-up. Ditto for Clemens and the split. Nomar's stats against Mussina and Clemens: Mussina: .241 .236 /.352 .588 OPS (OBP lower than BA, WTF? 0 BB ) Clemens: .180/.222/.320 .542 OPS Just a sample, but it seems like a logical statement if thought through.

    .610 SLG. I'll agree with you and take that back. Jesus Christ.
