  1. Robby Alomar was a HOF spitter for sure.
  2. 2012 was a mirage too?
  3. That's a Panic Statement if I've ever heard one.
  4. http://www.fangraphs.com/community/the-ten-highest-babips-since-1945/
  5. I believe he also signed prior to Cano, so it wasn't really a "discount" at the time. More likely that it set the market.
  6. The yearly amount is fine for now. I just don't see him being worth the $$$ 2019 - 2021.
  7. My opinion, which is HIGHLY regarded on here, is that Panic Move is a wonderfully silly condemnation of a move that you may not like.
  8. Panic Move A or Panic Move B?
  9. That was a discount? Yikes.
  10. Pedroia is the 6th best 2b per WAR. That sounds about right to me. He's no longer the best 2b in the game, but he's close to the top 5.
  11. That's what it seems like? Maybe some sort of platoon with Beni in LF and Papi at DH?
  12. Imagine playing basketball against Julius Peppers... Jesus Christ... http://athlonsports.com/nfl/greatest-two-sport-athletes-all-time
  13. Gene Conley Jim Thorpe Brian Jordan (the 90's were chock full of two sport stars) Dave DeBusschere Charlie Ward I'd love it if more athletes did it.
  14. I would. They don't seem to have the injury concerns that we had with Ellsbury.
  15. He's Jason Kendall. If you get a decent return for him, you won't miss him when he's gone.
  16. There was a time in the history of Talksox where a new troll would inevitably drop in after another left. The last Sox fan to troll the board was probably SCM33. SCM's totally going to drop in now, huh?
  17. Well, it's easier to just look at BABIP and say "fluke" than to actually wonder why some people have higher BABIP's to begin with.
  18. Pedroia has greatly exceeded my expectations this year. Last year, his glove looked weaker and he missed a lot of the season. This year, he has hit more to the opposite field than he ever has in his career. I always thought he was too pull happy with all that "la luna" BS. I hope he keeps it up for years to come.
  19. Why be in on Beltran if they planned on bringing Beni up? That's a good question. Maybe they thought he could be ready, but figured Beltran would be a stronger player in a playoff run? IDK.
  20. Well, you'd be wrong. http://www.overthemonster.com/2016/5/9/11639650/red-sox-rich-hill-free-agent-rumors President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski makes it clear he believes that the spot the A's could offer was the real decision maker for the southpaw. "We like what he did for us last year," Dombrowski said. "He pitched very well. It wasn't like we could look at him and say he was a guaranteed starter. We knew we were going to try to add a guy at the top of the rotation. He would've been in competition, and he also would've been a guy if he wasn't starting for us that we could've put into the bullpen. But he just had such a good opportunity with Oakland."
  21. I'd sit Papi against LHP right now and have Young DH.
  22. To this point: I thought the Sox should bring Benintendi up when he was ready as well. However, there was no word out of the front office stating that they thought he would definitely be ready this year. I don't think anyone ever said "if he's ready, just put him in Pawtucket for shits and giggles." I think most people took what Dombrowski stated over and over again about not being sure about when Benintendi would be ready and decided that Benintendi would probably be brought up in September.
  23. Maybe today or tomorrow.
  24. Nope, can never blame Pedroia for anything around here.
