    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.

    We don't HAVE TO.

    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)

    I'm with you. I thought the Sox should have taken Lester AND Scherzer.
  6. mvp 78
    My guess is that he turns into Rubby DeLaRosa, a decent and valuable arm, but not a generational talent.

    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.
  8. mvp 78
    Then don't pick up a $13M question mark's option?
  9. mvp 78
    You would need our benevolent overlord YZ to answer the red phone. I believe he's currently keeping it off the hook.
  10. mvp 78
    So maybe they should swing more often at the first pitch?
  11. mvp 78
    If I let you murder YOTN, who would keep this place from turning into Manhattan Island from Escape from New York?
  12. mvp 78
    Well, it's a theoretical gift basket since he refuses to publish his home address due to his ongoing war with UN? The best we can do is hiring a skywriter.

    All I'm asking is for Pedroia and Papi to not look completely disinterested before the pitch is thrown. It's obvious when they are taking a pitch and would be unable to adjust fast enough if the pitcher just grooved one. Just make it look like you might actually swing for once...

    Hey, this post is in regards to prospects, not unwanted trash!
  15. mvp 78
    YOTN has spent countless hours making this site more enjoyable for everyone. He deserves a gift basket, not grief.
  16. mvp 78
    Yes. The second ERod went down, it was beyond foolish to not grab another starter. I'm not going to keep rehashing my thoughts from this offseason, but yeah...
  17. mvp 78
    They shouldn't change their approach, but maybe they should at least pretend that there's a chance they would swing at the first pitch.

    It was a joke, hence the "/s" sarcasm tag. I think we all have to remember once in a while that even though we think about the Sox far too often for reasonable adults that all of our combined knowledge wouldn't keep up with even the worst GM's.
  19. mvp 78
    Don't worry though. I'm sure you know more about being a GM than Ben the Boob! /s

    To start the year, the rotation was Price, Porcello, ERod, Buchholz, Kelly. A lot people questioned the back end of Buch and Kelly. Posters wanted one more solid option to slot in there rather than worrying about question marks for 2/5th's of the rotation. The general consensus was that the depth seemed to be there if you needed to fix the 5th spot in the rotation (Owens, Johnson, Elias, Wright). However, having to fill the hole at 4 AND 5 seemed problematic.
  21. mvp 78
    I don't see the Yankees getting far enough above .500 to be a Wild Card factor.
  22. mvp 78
    We probably won't ever know what that second offer was from Oakland, but even just seeing that Espinoza was involved in the first does give you a sense of why the Red Sox chose to pull the trigger on Pomeranz. It's true that you can open negotiations with any names you want--the Sox could go to the Twins to ask about Tyler Pressly and have Terry Ryan ask for Mookie Betts and Yoan Moncada in return for all that it really costs Minnesota. But in reality GMs don't waste time with offers that are ridiculously above their actual asking price. http://www.overthemonster.com/2016/7/18/12211480/athletics-wanted-anderson-espinoza-for-rich-hill

    It's pretty annoying when Papi and Pedroia barely even get into a stance on the first pitch.
  24. mvp 78
    Welp, this game looks like it'll be a turd.
  25. mvp 78
    You want Pablo?
