    When the lights go down in the city and the sun sets on the bay...

    Your opinion is not wrong, it's just not compatible with my world view. #yesallrobotumps

    Young is a great example then...

    There are too many variables for a robot third base coach to always be correct in sending the runner. Not sure why you are so against a clear and less obtuse strike zone. To me, automation of any other part of the game is silly and not relevant.

    Buch's entire career then?

    Sure, but the 2009 draft appeared to be a complete bust. Pitchers also take a little time to develop, so the Sox wouldn't see the fruits of this draft until they're on the next GM. It was a high risk/high reward opportunity for the Pirates, but only one guy has provided much value so far. Also, I'm not saying it was a wrong or right choice. I was just trying to add to the conversation.

    Probably?!? Did you even click on the video?!?

Cole is fantastic, but Glasnow and Taillon are still unproven.

    http://triblive.com/sports/pirates/10594352-74/taillon-pirates-league Spud, the Pirates went crazy on pitching from 2009 - 2011. Would you be happy if the Sox had the same results?
  12. mvp 78
    I agree.
  13. mvp 78
    For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.
  14. mvp 78
    I'm not saying you were. I was just saying even if they were allocate more picks towards pitching, the recent track record leads me to believe that they'd probably struggle to develop those guys.
  15. mvp 78
    Being thrown out on a close play is fine. Being thrown out by 5 feet is hot garbage (ala Hanley). These aren't Dale Sveum's Sox anymore... There's no excuse for it.
  16. mvp 78
    You also said "only other player" so I guess your research skills are just as bad?
  17. mvp 78
    Given that DUMBrowski is the new guy here, it will be interesting to see if the draft strategy is tweaked at all. There haven't been any substantial scouting changes, have there?
  18. mvp 78
    f*** the Cubs.
  19. mvp 78
    He played for the Sox?
  20. mvp 78
    Spud, even if they spent the first 10 rounds only drafting arms, how many of them would actually pan out? The Sox have a poor history of developing pitchers. It seems like they are more adept at developing positional players. I'd say keep drafting the best players and use them as trade bait for pitching...

    There's NO question that Roller Derby is more of a sport than the Olympic decathalon, or at least it used to be 25 years ago...
  23. mvp 78
    Hanley seems to run into a few outs every week. I'm not sure you can coach that out of him at this point. I just don't find that much fault with this coaching staff in terms of how the players are running the basepaths. It's not like they hired Wendell Kim again.
  24. mvp 78
    I'm not sure I've ever seen a Sox team where the pitching was great and the offense sucked.
  25. mvp 78
    Yes, some fans liked Francona, some did not. Some fans like Farrell, some do not. Just because you like Francona, doesn't mean you'd automatically like Farrell. Some fans liked what Valentine brought to the table in Spring Training. To each their own. The beer and chicken thing was a red herring. No one should care about that anymore and shouldn't have cared that much back then either.
