    34 aka super duper old.
  2. mvp 78
    Sox signed Carlos Quentin

    Unless you can retrofit every player with the Barry Bonds cheat elbow armor! Then it would get down to about once every 12 times!

    King of Small Sample Sizes!

    That plaque is ********! He went 1 for 9 in the ALDS last year! Should never make definitive plaques like that! Should be made out of Woody Willy metal filings that can be changed at the drop of a hat! Sad!

    I liked Dempster, but I don't think his stuff would have translated very well to the AL East. His 2008 was an abberation. Burnett pitched decently in 2009, but fell off a cliff until landing in the NL again. Sabbathia's contract was fine. The Yankees should have just let him opt out and go elsewhere after 2011.

    I said "Lackey" but meant "Lester."
  8. mvp 78
    DiceK was a 2.6 WAR player in 2008. He wasn't garbage. He was a good #3.
  9. mvp 78
    Maybe nearly impossible for you. Others can just sit back, say someone choked and not worry about whether it has "definitively" tagged someone or not.

    The top of the rotation was Beckett, Lackey and Dice-K. In 2009, those guys were good enough that you shouldn't have needed a #2. Penny and Smoltz were 5/6's at best. I don't think anyone really expected Penny or Smoltz to be anything more than roster filler. This was a team that almost made the WS in 2008. It's not like they were a bunch of pieces away. edit: I meant Lester, not Lackey. Sorry.
  11. mvp 78
    Why does anyone care about the Penny/Smoltz signings? Low risk/low reward types aren't worth wringing your hands over.

    Also, http://archive.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2006/04/18/punctuation_mark/ I liked Loretta AND Graffanino. They were both at least as good as Bellhorn.

    I'm not going to judge the entirety of Theo's Sox career by 2005-2006.
  14. mvp 78
    Pfft, you've been stealing my lines for years now...
  15. mvp 78
    Alright, time to hug it out.
  16. mvp 78
    That's a lot of a lot's.

    http://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/jaws_2B.shtml JAWS gives the edge to Pedroia at the moment.
  18. mvp 78
    Which ballgirl did he bang?
  19. mvp 78
    Yes, it should matter. Even if Papi has ice in his veins, I don't expect him to hit better than normal against LHP in late innings. To me, clutch is just replicating normal performance under high stress situations.
  20. mvp 78
    They went from having a replacement level player who banged the ballgirl (the cover of the Tessie record, I believe) to the greatest 2b in team history. I'd say it's too close to call.
  21. mvp 78
    Unless they are playing the EVIL EMPIRE. All those games are super duper important and maybe more important than even the playoffs!!!!
  22. mvp 78
    Tough part would be trying to normalize that close and late stats since Papi probably faced a ton of really tough lefties in the late innings, something he wouldn't typically see innings 1 - 6 or in blowouts.
  23. mvp 78
    That's a steal, IMO.
  24. mvp 78
    It's semantics, but I believe that most people would assume that "not all that great" would mean "mediocre" or "substandard" rather than "close to great."
  25. mvp 78
    No, but the prospect list for September 2010 looks pretty good (Rizzo, Middlebrooks, Kalish, Iggy, Doubront, Reddick, Lavarnway). Plus he was able to flip others (Kelly and Feuntes) in a trade to get an All Star 1b. You could make a case that the farm was pretty barren in 2008, but all other years included a good deal of talent.
