    They didn't want to re-sign Lester so they sure as s*** weren't going to sign Scherzer. They should have signed a cheaper guy like Ervin Santana though.
  2. mvp 78
    At the time, a lot of smart posters wondered why they'd sign two 3b's. They thought they could move Hanley to LF and it didn't work out. If Hanley was put at 1b from jump street, maybe fans wouldn't be so annoyed by the signings.

    Porcello had a very strong 2nd half in 2015. Many Sox fans noticed that.
  4. mvp 78
    If he pitches for 20 starts, he better be pitching unlike anything he's ever done before. If Pom/Price are out that long, the Sox need to find another starter sooner than later.
  5. mvp 78
    I agree. However, in the case of Pom, his career has been so wild that it's not fair to suggest that Sox fans are down on Pom just because of his bad 2nd half. If he had a longer track record of success than just 3 months, maybe there would be a point to the argument. \

    How often will Greg Bird start? Is he going to be more of a platoon guy?
  7. mvp 78
    The recency bias with Pom is the first half of 2016.
  8. mvp 78
    Don't pop your kernels until the rollercoaster ride ends. He's only thrown over 100 innings as a starter once. Comparing him to Porcello is a huge slap in the face to Porcello's pedigree. http://www.fangraphs.com/statsplits.aspx?playerid=11426&position=P&season=0&split=8.1

    http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=6230&position=P#pfxpitchvalues I don't think he's going to last very long in the rotation, but if he can get us 5 solid starts, it'd be worth it.
  10. mvp 78
    I understood the reasoning to make the trade at the time (wanting one last playoff run for Papi). I didn't agree with the player they traded for. Pom was a guy with an injury history and on a fluky stretch pitching in the NL West.

    Per Sox Prospects: Arm: Solid-average arm strength plays at shortstop, but doesn’t stand out. Has had some issues with throwing accuracy at times. Field: Good actions at shortstop, though long term value at position is still to be determined. Moves well and has solid range. Hands are a little rough and footwork can get sloppy. Should be able to play shortstop in a backup role, but is not everyday quality defender. Defensive tools will play at second base.
  12. mvp 78
    Moving your AS SS for a AAAA guy isn't rational, imo. Unless he had an otherworldly glove, there is no reason to put Marco at SS.
  13. mvp 78
    Nope. Hernandez would just be the 3b.
  14. mvp 78
    His glove wasn't worth it last year. I hope he can turn it around. My preference would be to have a top defender/game caller at C.
  15. mvp 78
    SSS. Clutch can't be proven.
  16. mvp 78
    Holt can play OF though.
  17. mvp 78
    They need a platoon for Pablo. Marco hits from the wrong side.
  18. mvp 78
    CV can't hit, Blake can't catch. That's why Leon is starting.
  19. mvp 78
    Pom pulled with triceps tightness.
  20. mvp 78
    Sure, "random."
  21. mvp 78
    That's midseason form for him!
  22. mvp 78
    Pirates starter will be RHP Gerrit Cole. 1 Pedroia 2b 2 Bogey SS 3 Beni LF 4 Betts RF 5 Hanley DH 6 Bradley CF 7 Moreland 1b 8 Sandoval 3b 9 Leon C
  23. mvp 78
    @EvanDrellich Steve Selsky is going to see some time at third base. Sox high on him, versatility.
  24. mvp 78
    Less 10:05pm start times.
  25. mvp 78
    My guess is that it's far more likely that they have a rough season than 3 25 game winners. It's not doom and gloom. I think the Sox will do fine this year. I'm just saying there's a shot that things might not go as planned.
