    If SFF was still here, he could just ask LL directly.
  2. mvp 78
    That's exactly why you don't DFA Brentz right now.
  3. mvp 78
    Can't believe he came back. Weird situation and no one has dug very deap into the story.

    It means they are a punch and judy hitter. - David Ortiz
  5. mvp 78
    If he doesn't make the MLB roster out of ST, he retires. He isn't going to play at Pawtucket.

    34 aka super duper old.

    Sox signed Carlos Quentin

    Unless you can retrofit every player with the Barry Bonds cheat elbow armor! Then it would get down to about once every 12 times!

    King of Small Sample Sizes!

    That plaque is ********! He went 1 for 9 in the ALDS last year! Should never make definitive plaques like that! Should be made out of Woody Willy metal filings that can be changed at the drop of a hat! Sad!

    I liked Dempster, but I don't think his stuff would have translated very well to the AL East. His 2008 was an abberation. Burnett pitched decently in 2009, but fell off a cliff until landing in the NL again. Sabbathia's contract was fine. The Yankees should have just let him opt out and go elsewhere after 2011.

    I said "Lackey" but meant "Lester."
  13. mvp 78
    DiceK was a 2.6 WAR player in 2008. He wasn't garbage. He was a good #3.
  14. mvp 78
    Maybe nearly impossible for you. Others can just sit back, say someone choked and not worry about whether it has "definitively" tagged someone or not.
  15. mvp 78
    The top of the rotation was Beckett, Lackey and Dice-K. In 2009, those guys were good enough that you shouldn't have needed a #2. Penny and Smoltz were 5/6's at best. I don't think anyone really expected Penny or Smoltz to be anything more than roster filler. This was a team that almost made the WS in 2008. It's not like they were a bunch of pieces away. edit: I meant Lester, not Lackey. Sorry.
  16. mvp 78
    Why does anyone care about the Penny/Smoltz signings? Low risk/low reward types aren't worth wringing your hands over.

    Also, http://archive.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2006/04/18/punctuation_mark/ I liked Loretta AND Graffanino. They were both at least as good as Bellhorn.

    I'm not going to judge the entirety of Theo's Sox career by 2005-2006.
  19. mvp 78
    Pfft, you've been stealing my lines for years now...
  20. mvp 78
    Alright, time to hug it out.
  21. mvp 78
    That's a lot of a lot's.

    http://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/jaws_2B.shtml JAWS gives the edge to Pedroia at the moment.
  23. mvp 78
    Which ballgirl did he bang?
  24. mvp 78
    Yes, it should matter. Even if Papi has ice in his veins, I don't expect him to hit better than normal against LHP in late innings. To me, clutch is just replicating normal performance under high stress situations.
  25. mvp 78
    They went from having a replacement level player who banged the ballgirl (the cover of the Tessie record, I believe) to the greatest 2b in team history. I'd say it's too close to call.
