    Clearly DD is an idiot that doesn't realize Pomeranz should be in the pen!
  2. mvp 78
    Only loss on this trade is Dubon.
  3. mvp 78
    They should stop sniffing their own farts.

    "I love that baseball is random and that you never know if a pitch is a ball or strike. We don't need robot umps! Swapping HFA each year between leagues is too random!"

    Thanks Ben!

    It makes more sense than rewarding a team that beats up on an easy division all year.
  8. mvp 78
    They should give him a lifetime contract at this point. His upside is just too great!
  9. mvp 78
    HFA should just be given to the NL in even years and AL in odd years. I don't care about the AS game. Thanks Bud!

    I'm not sure Elias is decent.
  11. mvp 78
    My post was an ode to offseasons past. I don't care if the Sox aren't the first to jump in the pool. I'm not convinced they grab a high priced FA anyway.
  12. mvp 78
    Had a WRC+ of 165 in AA in 2014. That's barely decent?

    I think Devers is a better 3B than Moncada and it's not close. I also don't see them going cheap at both 1B AND 3B, maybe one or the other.

    I will disagree with you since I've lived in 2 other larger markets as well. I don't believe Boston is a more hardcore sports town. I just think more Bostonians move to other places in the country because the weather sucks and it's too expensive. This causes more Sox fans to be seen throughout the country so it just "seems" like we are more hardcore.

    Annual: IT'S DECEMBER, WHY HAVEN'T THEY SIGNED ANYONE YET!!!!!! WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR?!?!?!?!
  16. mvp 78
    As the "cap" increases, so will all of the contracts handed out. I don't think the cap going up $20M factors in whether they resign Bogaerts. It's more about how much they value him.
  17. mvp 78
    f*** Dan Shaughnessy. He doesn't represent the fan base or even the media.
  18. mvp 78
    Hype and gyroball nonsense doesn't mean that anyone reasonably thought he was a #1. I think most people saw him as a wild card that could be a #2. Nobody thought he was Pedro reincarnated.

    The reaction to Lackey was as follows: 1. He's ok, but I wish he was a little better, maybe he's just a postseason guy. 2. He completely sucks. WTH? He's absolutely dogshit. 3. Chicken and beer rabble rabble rabble (which many people on here didn't care about). 4. Oh, I guess he gets a pass for being injured. Maybe he can be serviceable after surgery. 5. Hey, this guy isn't so bad and his contract is cheap for 2015! 6. Wait, we're trading him for Joe Kelly and a broken down Allen Craig? I guess they have upside? FML.
  20. mvp 78
    Exactly. The days of Boston being a hard place to play in are long gone.

    I went back and looked through the 2012 threads and there isn't much whining about AGon. http://www.talksox.com/forum/threads/15655-Adrian-Gonzalez-s-Power-Outage-and-Previous-11-of-13-Next-Jon-Lester-s-Baffling-Incon In this post http://www.talksox.com/forum/threads/15847-So-you-re-the-Sox-GM-What-s-your-plan there is zero discussion of moving on from AGon at the deadline. There is mild criticism of AGon on this post http://www.talksox.com/forum/threads/15923-Report-Gonzo-Sox-blast-Bobby-V-to-Owners, but it is not a wide swath of fans as it seems most people agreed that Valentine sucked and saw that AGon and Pedroia were basically saying the same stuff. Hell, there were more posts complaining about Papi rants than posts about AGon. That certainly doesn't mean Papi was hated by a large swath of fans. Maybe it was a bigger deal on other boards? I just don't really remember anyone really caring about AGon talking about back to back games, or headphones or whatever...

    http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/events/afl/club.jsp?team_id=542 Sox sent Dubon, Kopech, Ball, Beeks, Jamie Callahan and Danny Mars. I haven't heard of Callahan or Mars.
  23. mvp 78
    This is just nonsense. Carl Crawford was treated with kid gloves when he was here. Josh Beckett wasn't treated poorly until all of the Chicken and Beer stuff happened. People didn't like AGon's diminishing power, but I don't remember anyone really complaining about him as a player. There was no wide swath of fans vilifying any of these three.

    Shaw isn't eligible for the AFL. Last year he played 1 game in Puerto Rico. AFL Rules: Eligibility Rules The eligibility rules to play in the AFL are simple. The roster size is 30 players per team. Each Major League organization is required to provide six players subject to the following requirements: All Triple-A and Double-A players are eligible, provided the players are on at least a Double-A level roster no later than Aug. 1. One player below the Double-A level is allowed per Major League team. One foreign player is allowed, as long as the player does not reside in a country that participates in winter ball, as part of the Caribbean Confederation or the Australian winter league. No players with more than one year of credited Major League service as of August 31 are eligible, except a team may select one player picked in the most recently concluded Major League Rule 5 Draft. To be eligible, players on Minor League disabled lists must be activated at least 45 days before the conclusion of their respective seasons.

    Yeah, I think DiceK was a lottery ticket. I don't think anyone thought he'd be the #1 guy.
