    What we had were misplaced expectations from a team that played above their heads in 2013.

    I can only fault GM's for moves that epically fail (Panda/Crawford/et al). Team win/loss are out of their control. And as I've said before, we'll never know the inner workings of the Sox FO. You can't blame or praise the GM solely for any move. Everything is run by the Sox FO machine. Blaming Ben is just blaming the entire FO from 2012 - 2015.

    1b/rf/lf mostly. A teeny bit of 2b (replacement level). A minuscule sample at 3b (not good).

    If his bat doesn't come around this season, he's a cooked goose.
  5. mvp 78
    I just think he needs more time to play in LF and RF before we deem him "better" in RF than LF. His tool set seems a better fit for LF. Heck, I remember Manny wanted to play RF when he was signed. Glad they kept him in LF. JD? Remains to be seen.

    This season's mantra.

    Marco Hernandez just underwent season ending shoulder surgery. He'll rollover his 2 option years into next year.

    I'm actually excited to see Swihart catch tonight.
  9. mvp 78
    Beeks should be in the rotation.
  10. mvp 78
    That's every post around here.

    SSS alert. His career LF numbers are better than his career RF numbers.
  12. mvp 78
    I hope the Yanks continue to play down to their competition.
  13. mvp 78
    Huh? JD's numbers are better in LF than RF.

    Gimmie a good ole' 4.50 ERA 6 Inning guy any day over a 5 2/3rd's scrub....
  15. mvp 78
    118-44?
  16. mvp 78
    There's no harm if you're bringing him in on a minor league deal. Not sure I'd bump anyone off the 40 man for him.
  17. mvp 78
    It's not even a quality start!!!!
  18. mvp 78
    I only said 4 because slasher used that in his argument: WHAT ELSE CAN YOU EXPECT OUT OF YOUR #4???
  19. mvp 78
    Would Machado even be an upgrade in Pawtucket? I don't know if that guy is really worth bringing in.
  20. mvp 78
    117-45

    Also, Dombrowski wasn't replacing Lucchino, Sam Kennedy replaced Lucchino. Dombrowski was taking over a brand new role that didn't exist in the organization.

    I think Ben saw the writing on the wall that if he didn't quit, he'd be let go. May as well go out on your own terms. We'll never really know what went on behind closed doors, but I can't blame Ben for bouncing.
  23. mvp 78
    When people say "Theo", "Ben" or "Dave" it's really just short hand for all of the front office while that GM was in charge. We'll never know to what extent Theo wanted to "feed the monster" or if it was Larry, or if Ben wanted to sign Panda or if it was ownership, or if Dave is pushing the fire sale of the farm system or if it was directed from above. At the end of the day, those three guys each have good and bad things about them, but Sox fans have been lucky that they've at least been fairly competent.
  24. mvp 78
    I think the issue is that people see his potential as a top of the rotation guy rather than just a #4. He's fine as a #4 (if he can stay healthy), but watching him is very frustrating because his ceiling is #2 and it seems like he'll never get there. I don't think there's anything wrong with looking at a talent that is potentially wasted since he can't keep his pitch totals down. I'm sure his bank account would be happier if he was a #2 as well.
  25. mvp 78
    Of the Jays top 10 prospects, only 3 were signed under Ben. The top tier of Guerrero, Bichette and Alford were all in the farm before Ben became VP. Time will tell what Ben can go for their system. Right now, it's just a bunch of lottery tickets.
