    That's a poor correlation. Just because he's the only one making a fuss, doesn't mean everyone else always understands your posts.

    You can't eat your cake and have it too. Theo did a good job of restocking the farm with that draft.

    http://soxprospects.com/history.htm The Sox Prospects list from September 2011 looks good enough to me.

    After the Nomar trade: 3b went from Mueller to Lowell (good call) 1b went from Millar to Youk (good call) SS went from OCab to miscellaneoud (OCab became a journeyman so it's not a big loss) 2b went from Bellhorn to Pedroia (remains to be seen if this was a good idea) LF stayed with Manny until 2008 when Manny forced his way out of town (can't blame Theo here) CF went from Johnny Damon to Coco Crisp/TEllsbury (good call) RF went from Trot to JD Drew (good call) C stayed with Tek until 2011 He dumped Pedro and Lowe when other GM's may have kept them on for nostalgia. He found a suitable replacement at closer. Theo kept trying to bring in high priced talent while consistently adding young talent from the farm system. I really can't fault Theo for much of anything from 2005 - 2011. He should probably still be the GM today, but LL had JH's ear and they dumped the wrong guy.

    Those two domes are pretty drafty!

    Yup, the team was good enough to win the WS 2 years later with minor tweaks. If the Sox don't bring in Bobby V in 2012, I bet they win 90+ games.

    It's also possible that his previous choking just burrows it's way into his brain and he becomes unable to replicate his normal performances. To me, I think he just sucks when pitching in the cold. He struggled out of the gate last year and has struggled as the weather gets colder in October.
  8. mvp 78
    If he couldn't get into the IF rotation for the Padres, he's nothing more than a AAA guy. Nothing much to say.
  9. mvp 78
    I think it's completely fair to say "David Price has choked in the playoffs." Does that necessarily mean he'll choke the next time he's in the playoffs? Nope. You can say the same thing for Mark Melancon in Boston. Melancon choked as the closer for Boston. Does that mean he would always choke in Boston? Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe he does do better in a smaller market in the NL East like DC or Pittsburgh? It would be very fair for someone to say "I don't want the Sox to bring back Melancon, because he choked here."

    Fixed.

    Tomorrow!!!!!!!!
  12. mvp 78
    We'll see his shadow/eclipse soon.

    No question. Megan Fox has murderer's thumb. I could never get past that.
  14. mvp 78
    Maybe clutch is just as imaginary as the philosopher's stone. I'm a true believer though.
  15. mvp 78
    Back to the original question... I'd take Samantha Fox all day.
  16. mvp 78
    Since when has "clutch" only referred to Postseason stats? Shouldn't close and late stats matter too? What about any big game down the stretch run?
  17. mvp 78
    24/7 Guerin Austin
  18. mvp 78
    He's a holdover from Ben's administration that DD doesn't like. It's a shame that he hasn't developed more at AAA leaving him unable to be traded. I'm sure he's not really bummed about the money he's making.
  19. mvp 78
    SSS. He could EASILY hit 30 HR's over the next 300 ABs.
  20. mvp 78
    https://twitter.com/garystriewski/status/826527184957341698 People elsewhere are saying things like "I didn't like him at first, but he really grew on me. I'll miss him." Huh? This guy was useless and not even good as a punching bag.
  21. mvp 78
    1. Shoot Steve Lyons out of a cannon so that he can never call a Sox game again! 2. What blonde chick are they going to replace Gary Streikweeksdnflenkski with?
  22. mvp 78
    Then the absence of choking should be quantifiable too.
  23. mvp 78
    Yes, players are not robots. Just because fangraphs hasn't come up with a proper equation to account for it, doesn't mean it could never be quantified.
  24. mvp 78
    Ok?
  25. mvp 78
    He seemed to be pretty clutch during that season as well as during the regular season in subsequent years.
