    You would f***ing think so...

    Lackey was still a great unknown, but I always felt he was a 4.00 ERA guy. Never liked that signing. I had seen enough of him while living out in LA. Buchholz was oft injured and not reliable. Doubront was a young guy who was pushed to the pen in the postseason. He was never going to be more than a back of the rotation guy. I was hopeful that RDLR would provide something, but he was a lottery ticket.

    Crazy pills. Can't play a catcher that much.

    Calling it a coffee boy is rather ham fisted tho.

    My last year's team was basically the 2007 Colorado Rockies. I'm hoping for better luck this year.

    I'm surprised you feel this way about that position considering how much you have liked prospects in the past. I would have thought you'd see value in what he provides to the Jays. I'm the fence straddler who thinks Ben wasn't a great GM, but that his current position has a lot of value and is perfect for him.

    So far, it seems that DD suspected correctly for the most part.

    2013 had the insane Buchholz run. Lackey was a back of the rotation guy who had his best AL ERA in 8 years. Dempster retired after 2013. Peavy was clearly on the back end of his career. It's not surprising that the Sox rotation took a substantial hit in 2014. They had to even rely on RDLR for 100 innings that year. For Lester, the aberration was 2012.

    And he's still only 25!

    2014: 4.36 ERA and 26th in the league. 2012: 5.19 ERA and 27th in the league.

    A better rotation could have fixed it. That's not Ben's job or anything.
  15. mvp 78
    What was the 2016 pitching staff going to be under Ben? Does Ben stick with the "don't sign pitchers over 30" thinking and create another big hole in the rotation? Who would be the closer?

    Sox should hold out til the very end and see who is cheaper between Dozier and LeMahieu. I don't think either has a crazy market. Just no to Iggy. My TS heart can't deal with that anymore. It'd be like bringing back Buchholz or Hanley. No more please.
  17. mvp 78
    Ben's method was more apt to give you last place finishes. I'm good with DD for now. He just needs to retain the right players. Kimmi, someday you'll come around to my POV. Slowly but surely. I just need to keep breaking you down with more poorly thought up arguments. Someday you'll slip. Shoulda traded Pedroia!!!!!!!!!
  18. mvp 78
    No, he's just a platoon guy. Having a platoon guy for Moreland or just a good bat off the bench is valuable especially when the Sox really struggle against lefties.
  19. mvp 78
    Nooo! Bad, Dojji!
  20. mvp 78
    I was referencing that post for sure.
  21. mvp 78
    I put a few people on ignore and reread the gamethread. It was much better. There was still a good amount of snark which is fine. I just get tired of some of the nonsense around here.
  22. mvp 78
    A juiced ball increases the count of homers tho?
  23. mvp 78
    The team wasn't competitive in 2012, 2014 and 2015 with its good farm though.
  24. mvp 78
    It's basically a skill that allows a catcher to either pull a pitch from being off the outside corner to make it look better and have a better chance of the ump calling it a strike. The opposite can be true as well. Eck was talking about it on a recent game where an opposing catcher caught a ball well in the zone, but he pulled his glove out of the zone when catching it so it made the ump think the pitch was a ball. Until robot umps are brought in, pitch framing and having a steady hand will be somewhat important. It's not the end all be all, but it has a little value.

    I don't read fake news.
