    I'm glad they are at least trying to kick the tires and stay on the phone with the ChiSox. Would have been helpful if they did the same with Josh Donaldson two years ago...

    It's the second most wonderful time of the year... If there were MLB inflatables, house lights and decorations, I'd have some sitting in my front yard.

    It's been a rollercoaster for him. We'll see where it ends. If the Sox get in the playoffs, I'll give him all the credit in the world.

    I'm not sure anyone outranks Dombrowski at this point. Henry used to say "Larry Lucchino runs the Red Sox." My guess is that Dombrowski has full autonomy, but will listen to his scouts and others on his staff.

    Yup, I don't hate Farrell. I don't get upset when he's on my screen and scare my dogs out of the room. I just think the Sox should look to upgrade wherever and whenever they can.

    I agree that veteran leadership is important. However, it can't really be quantified. How can we say veteran leadership matters, but clutch is fairy tales and pixie dust?

    Marlins asked about Buchholz, but price was too high. I guess the Sox are looking for more than just an A guy. He pitched well yesterday. Maybe they think he'll provide good value for the rest of this season? Seems like he's right in line to have his option picked up.

    I didn't say Veteran Leadership wasn't important even though there is no evidence it really matters. My question is why draw the line at Clutch? Did the Sox win in 2013 because they had veteran guys on the team while the Cardinals had a younger squad? Or did the Sox win because of Papi's heroics and Koji's filthiness in late and close situations?

    I need some clarification... Veteran Leadership is an intangible that is important. Is Clutch also an intangible that is important? Which intangibles are ok and which aren't?

    What deal with the devil did Didi make to play like this? Also, do you think he will play like this for the next few years?
  12. mvp 78
    I only have noticed his fall because it seemed like Dombrowski sold really high on him, which is something he needs to do with all his prospects imo.

    Beat writers can't rock the boat! Honestly, I saw more about them fretting over Wright coming in with long sleeves. I don't get it. The writers are useless for the most part. Speier is great with the analytical stuff, but everyone else is basically garbage. Would it be better if Henry didn't buy the Globe?

    The only leap Guerra made was jumping off a bridge.
  15. mvp 78
    Huh? Guerra has sucked this year. What are you talking about? http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=sa736916&position=SS http://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/padres-javier-guerra-struggles-continue-in-2016-campaign/ On Baseball America's Mid-Season Prospect List: "Guerra’s 2016 season has been a disaster. He’s still ranked solely on the memory of the power and defense he showed in 2015" http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/midseason-top-100-prospects/#PSzUCmHtIkt4fEFt.97

    Classic Lovullo rope-a-dope. Classic...
  17. mvp 78
    To me, the Sox are one of the premier organizations in MLB. They have enough money to overpay for the best manager out there. Even if Farrell is simply average, it's a position that can be upgraded.
  18. mvp 78
    Sox played better with Lovullo last year. Yesterday, they scored zero runs for Farrell and 5 for Lovullo.
  19. mvp 78
    Really.

    He carried the team in April 2013 while Papi was out.

    @evandrellich John Farrell said of contact Joe West made with him: "They can bump us but we can't bump them"
