  1. From this perspective, you would be correct. Good point.
  2. Two things: 1) You can make this point without being you-know-what. 2) John Lackey says hello as well. I'd wait and see.
  3. ^But still got it done. And got it done better than every other closer out there not named Rivera, Nathan or Soria.
  4. You mean because of reasons stated in Dipre's timely multi-quoted post?
  5. Gaudin made $2 million in 2009. What part of his 147.1 IP, 4.64 ERA, 1.507 WHIP performance warranted a 150% raise?
  6. That woman loves Walleye with a passion.
  7. Not in the internet, and not if you keep pushing on it. :dunno:
  8. So wait, the guy starts an interesting thread about the Sox, and instead of seeing the value in it, it's a necessity to jump on him because of a typo. Wow.
  9. Don't be stupid. I said he "could suck ass", as a way to oversell his concentration problems. Don't put words in my mouth.
  10. ^ Ahhhh, the feeling of pounding one's chest is always fantastic. I expect props from BSN07.
  11. ..... Who then proceeded to get rocked in Licey's final Winter League Game.
  12. How about the teams-that-can't-play-consistent-defense-don't-win-championships curse? That one's a bit more believable.
  13. Not really. He's extremely susceptible to LHP. You can find a similar RHH for around the same price as Edmonds, who's essentially an unknown quantity right now anyway since he did not play in 2009.
  14. Yankees need a RH bat to platoon Gardner or a LH bat without platoon issues, or quality lefties will hurt that lineup very much.
  15. This team's philosophy is not to give away outs. But a lot of times a bunt with men on first and second will have a groundout resulting in a run scored instead of 5-2-3 DP that erases the chance at scoring. Just sayin'.
  16. Welcome. You probably don't like jacksonianmarch already.
  17. Hold up there. This team doesn't have "average power" in the middle of the lineup. That's where people are getting it wrong. Most teams don't have 85-90 Home Run potential from their 3-4-5 hitters. The Sox do, and they also have 65-70 HR potential from their 6-7-8 hitters. There is power all over the lineup.
  18. Jon Lester ERA,K/9,SO/BB in August/September-October: August: 2.41, 10.4, 4.33 September/October: 2.52, 9.6, 3.45 That's elite production down the stretch. And he had a good outing against the Angels, don't know what more you could expect. Jonathan Papelbon ERA,K/9,SO/BB in August/September-October: August: 1.69, 13.5 K/9, 4.00 SO/BB September/October: 1.46, 9.5 SO/9, 0 BB, 0.487 WHIP This team doesn't have a power problem. It has a consistency problem, which is what they tried to address in the off-season. Minus the ALDS hiccup, again, elite production. Last season, the Sox hit 212 HR's and 335 2B, they replaced Bay's 36 HR and 29 doubles with Cameron's 25 HR's and 30 2B's, added a 25-HR/30 2B bat in Beltre, and a 10 HR/25 2B bat in Scutaro while upgrading the infield defense. The only true wild-card in this offense is David Ortiz. If he plays like he's capable of playing, then there is no "need for a bat". If he regresses further, then we have a power problem and the Sox need a bat.
  19. Welcome to the forum.
