    I don't live in a fantasy world.

    We've seen him hit. He just needs to adjust like every player before him has had to.
  3. mvp 78
    Then he should stick to sports?

    Team ERA??? Don't bring that s*** in here! *wags finger* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoHXKj36o_E

    Did you know that the pitching staff in 2015 wasn't the same as the pitching staff in 2016? Miley/Porcello/Clay/Kelly/ERod Price/Porcello/Wright/ERod/Clay-Pom If only Swihart could've caught Price and Wright in 2016! ERod's numbers were actually better in 2015 too!

    Fangraphs or GTFO. https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=13176&position=C

    He was a great player. I just don't see him being close to that player going forward. I think Sox fans have deified him over the years. In a recent gamethread, I stated that Altuve is the player Sox fans think Pedroia is or was (he's a destroyah, kid). If playing 100% means diving into 1b for no reason, then Pedroia definitely did that. He always had a dirty uniform whether it needed to be or not. He was a short white guy who looked like he played a full 9 innings 162 games a year (even though that wasn't necessarily the case). Boston ate it up. He was very valuable through 2013 and had a surprising resurgence in 2016. 3 of the last 4 years haven't been worth the money though.

    Baseball America had him much lower than other publications. The SoxProspects podcast mentioned that others had him closer to the 60's (Law, ESPN, MLB, fangraphs).

    Also, the Sox are a fairly young team. They don't need guys up in BOS in the short term.
  10. mvp 78
    Because they've mainly selected college pitchers and hitters the past few years. They needed to stock up on young guys with high upside bats. Their farm system has a severe lack of power and they are trying to correct it.

    I lost respect for Damon after the Red Sox claimed him off waivers in 2010 and he refused to come back.
  12. mvp 78
    I don't know. This seems more like personal perception more than anything else. I don't believe he's a huge charity guy or at least no more than any other player.
  13. mvp 78
    But he was a DIRT DOGTM!
  14. mvp 78
    To your point Spud, Blake was a 5.9 dWAR player in 2015 even with all of his passed balls. 910 OPS after August 15th. He's being given a shot now so let's see what he can do with it.

    Pom's getting one more chance to pitch like garbage. Hopefully just one.
  17. mvp 78
    With Houck, they are completely revamping his pitching repertoire and delivery. I don't think they are worried about his development at the moment.
  18. mvp 78
    Suspect?!?!? Sale, Price (CY winner), Porcello (CY winner), ERod, Pom Pomeranz isn't that great, but if he pitched like last season, every other club would love to have that as a #5. I'm not sure what you're expecting out of a rotation.

    That's throwing Pom in the deep end. If he can't get through 6, they need to find someone else.
  21. mvp 78
    Oh la la!
  22. mvp 78
    Wut?
  23. mvp 78
    I'm not even sure what a "suitable cleanup hitter" means. He can hit for power and puts the ball in play. Sounds ok to me.
  24. mvp 78
    Moreland was good last year until he broke his toe. He's been outstanding so far this year. I'm glad they kept him around. A clean-up hitter in 2018 isn't the same as a clean-up hitter in 1988.
  25. mvp 78
    The only guy easier to blame than the medical staff is the 3rd base coach. Some people need to mix it up and find new punching bags.
