    1. People claim baseball is random 2. People claim that the batting order doesn't matter that much 3. People say that the managers matter very little I know the gag is that if you don't like an argument, just claim it's a strawman. I get it.

    At what point do managers get any blame then? There were two consecutive September swoons where they played terribly and then were trounced in the playoffs. How does he not get any blame for that? If he gets no blame for that, he can't get any credit for 2013.

    That is NOT a straw man argument. If baseball is random, batting order results don't really matter and the manager matter the least of all, then it doesn't matter who is on the team or coaching it. Otherwise, it's not really "random" and the manager is important.

    @iamjoonlee A LOT of the players also love Chili Davis. Already has a strong rapport with young stars on the team. Would suspect he gets a long look.

    @iamjoonlee When a player’s manager loses the clubhouse, he’s lost his biggest asset. That’s what happened. Red Sox needed to move on.

    https://twitter.com/YoureRightMike/status/918110192906199040 This week was starting out pretty terribly, but one little thing can always improve your outlook.

    The Sox are in good shape. I think they just need to get one big bat (JD) and figure out how to manage SP innings next year.

    This move will tell me a lot about how DD sees this team.
  9. mvp 78
    Probably not. Definitely projectile vomiting if he shows up to ST.
  10. mvp 78
    If it won't happen, why bring it up?
  11. mvp 78
    If they fired Farrell and had DiSarcina manage for September, they couldn't have done any worse. Waited too long!

    f***ing fired! Things are looking up boys (and Kimmi)!

    Easier to move a guy from OF to 1B than to move a SS/3B to OF. Most of the OF guys at least played IF in high school.

    His shoulder is injured enough that they could say it's not worth him playing. The union can be mad, but it's not like he's deserving of playing time.

    Per TalkSox: Baseball is random. Managers don't matter. Batting order doesn't matter. The offseason doesn't matter. So, just throw whoever out there and the results would be just the same.
  17. mvp 78
    If he doesn't improve, then you can move him after 2018 is over.

    Lars Anderson of the -.3 career WAR. Whatever Jacko. We've heard enough of your bluster over the years. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=5514&position=C/DH

    You don't have to trade any assets to get JD. Whatever you give up to get Stanton would most likely come from MLB roster.
  20. mvp 78
    He had his own issues with dating reporters (which lead to him fighting teammates) and was the team captain during the chicken and beer nonsense. Hard pass...
  21. mvp 78
    Not sure they can do both while still paying Hanley and Pablo. If Henry is down for it, sure!
  22. mvp 78
    Just sign JD Martinez to play 1b/DH. Offseason would be easy peasy.
  23. mvp 78
    Thinking the Sox don't need JD Martinez is super duper dumb.
  24. mvp 78
    Why trade useful players when you can sign JD Martinez this offseason?
  25. mvp 78
    He's a perfectly mediocre manager. Let's do better! How about someone who doesn't wind up in last damn place two straight years and follow it up with two September swoons and first round playoff trouncings!
