    Anthony Rizzo - 18.4 WAR since 2012 Adrian Gonzalez - 13.5 WAR since 2012 This team would be far better with Rizzo at 1b

    Is first pitch OPS skewed because you can't strike out? How does a swing and miss affect the OPS here? Maybe I'm just tired from a weekend at the beach, but how is OPS calculated for only one pitch?

    http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/07/marlins-release-craig-breslow.html Any interest in Breslow? Maybe sign him to minor league deal?

    http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2013/07/reactions-to-the-jake-peavy-trade-1.html Two years ago, the Red Sox wouldn't have made this trade, writes Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports. However, a strong desire to avoid the new Wildcard play-in game has changed the dynamic of the trade deadline. Passan goes on to write that no GM has had a better year than Ben Cherington, who has taken the Red Sox from one baseball's worst teams in 2012 to an AL East title race in 2013.

    I probably would too. There's no telling that Schilling would have played well in Boston early in his career. We probably would have dumped him at some point anyway under Duquette.

    Would Iglesias even be a starter on this team? Bogey was better the moment he came up. My guess is that Iglesias would have been traded at some point anyway.

    Sox hadn't won in 70 years and they gave up some prospects for a workhorse who pitched well in 1988 and 1990. Schilling was as good in 1990, but they were really trying to strike while Evans, Rice and Boggs were still in their primes. They also had Greenwell and Burks playing like gangbusters. Clemens and Hurst were still in the rotation. That's a team you load up for each and every time.

    I mentioned the Boddicker trade a few weeks ago. I don't think they've acquired any pitcher like that since during the season. Boddicker was more of a sure thing that Pomeranz.

    No one dealt was THAT much better than Bedard and they didn't give up anything of value for him.
  10. mvp 78
    Ok, but who was far and away better at that deadline?
  11. mvp 78
    We were more than "somewhat lucky" with what Wright has provided. We basically walked into a bank, grabbed a bunch of cash, fled and the bank just shrugged their shoulders.
  12. mvp 78
    Edwin Jackson? I'd hold my nose and trade for him, I guess? Maybe... http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/jacksed01.shtml?utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker&utm_campaign=Linker

    Ubaldo? He sucked after getting dealt.

    2011: Bedard who was one of the better pitchers available 2010: Lost year, got Salty 2009: VMart 2008: Moved Manny, got Jason Bay
  16. mvp 78
    Bedard had a decent career prior to coming to Boston. His numbers in Seattle that year had been good. The Sox didn't really give up anything valuable in return.

    http://deadspin.com/little-pirates-fan-finds-truth-during-18-inning-game-1783846555 This is my favorite thing right now.
  18. mvp 78
    We don't HAVE TO.
  19. mvp 78
    Ben: 2012 - Fixed Theo's mess after the deadline 2013 - Got Peavy and Thornton, won WS 2014 - Sellers: traded Drew, Doubront, Peavy, Miller, Lackey and Lester 2015 - Last place, twiddled their thumbs (worked out better than 2014 trades)
  20. mvp 78
    I'm with you. I thought the Sox should have taken Lester AND Scherzer.
  21. mvp 78
    My guess is that he turns into Rubby DeLaRosa, a decent and valuable arm, but not a generational talent.
  22. mvp 78
    Some of us didn't trust Kelly or Buchholz. We were right not to trust them. Once ERod went down, there were 3 question marks in the starting rotation.
  23. mvp 78
    Then don't pick up a $13M question mark's option?
  24. mvp 78
    You would need our benevolent overlord YZ to answer the red phone. I believe he's currently keeping it off the hook.
  25. mvp 78
    So maybe they should swing more often at the first pitch?
