    What do the Nationals think? “He was a great teammate,” Baker told reporters. “He was popular with his teammates. We wish Pap the best and he wished us the best. He wanted us to win (the World Series). Those were his parting words.” Max Scherzer spoke for his teammates about the level of respect for Papelbon in their clubhouse. “He’s not a distraction whatsoever,” Scherzer said. “He comes in to play every single day, he works his absolute tail off and he competes on the mound for us. All that stuff, last year … just media circus. We were 100 percent behind him. We understood all his intentions. He was great for our team. He was great for everybody in this clubhouse. To sit here and say he’s a bad teammate or anything like that, it’s garbage to me.”

    If they sign him, I'll hold my nose the way the Yanks did with ARod and Chapman. But the FO knows far more than me so whatever they decide is best for business. Anyway, I thought Papelbon was going to announce his signing Wednesday AM? Well, we're waiting...

    Beckett pitched well for the Dodgers down the stretch in 2012. He was fine for them while he was healthy.
  6. mvp 78
    No no no... He was including himself in the "thinks they are smarter than the FO" considering his constant whining about Price.
  7. mvp 78
    If he goes to the Cubs, my hatred for them will be complete...

    People thought it was a great deal at the time because Webster and DeLaRosa were included in it. Five years later, DeLaRosa is a bottom of the rotation guy and Webster is currently pitching in Korea.

    Chris Young - Good Deal Carson Smith - Good Deal Sandy Leon Re-signed - Good Deal Exercised Clay's Option - No Brainer Traded Garin Checchini for cash - Good Deal You can question Price over and over, that's fine. Kimbrel has been good when healthy. Pomeranz pitched fine last time out. I think the catching staff needs to learn how he should pitch.

    I thought this was a current Red Sox vs former Red Sox tracker? If it's strictly a Yankees tracker, it should go in the Yankees forum.
  11. mvp 78
    Wouldn't the Carl Crawford tracker be Red Sox LF vs Carl Crawford?
  12. mvp 78
    2012 wasn't a "great deal." They basically gutted the team and handed over some top stars to help an NL team win 3 pennants in a row.

    Farrell and Co needs to get these guys to bounce back. You're bound to give up runs to the best hitters in the game sooner than later.
  14. mvp 78
    It seems like it. I would recommend that you don't read the gamethreads. They are the Mos Eisley Cantina of Talksox.

    The silly part to me is the endless patting themselves on the back. I guess that's how things were at BDC? If we're keeping score, my offseason was pretty spot on in regards to needing a #2, thinking Hanley would be fine at 1b and not the disaster everyone thought he would be, wanting Pablo gone so that Shaw could play 3b, not wanting to get Buchholz's no brainer option, wanting an ERod replacement the second he went down, wanting Taz and Uehara's innings managed, etc... Would people want me to talk about this ad nauseam? I guess all they have is "welp, we thought Benintendi and Moncada were "really great" but you only said they were just "great." s***, you got me man... I'm ruined.
  16. mvp 78
    I've never stated as such.
  17. mvp 78
    Here's what I said about Moncada over a month ago.

    This is what I said back in mid June:

    When teammates have to start commenting for you to the media on why you are grabbing your crotch and fighting teammates, it becomes a clubhouse issue.
  20. mvp 78
    Would he make this team better though? I'd rather have Hembree out there than Papelbon.
  21. mvp 78
    His arm is better than Damon's. I think you're misremembering how bad Damon's arm was.

    So, if he gets hurt in the 3rd inning, someone is going to complain that he should have been pinch run for? I doubt it. If there's a chance that he'll get another AB in the game, you don't pinch run for him. Even if it's the 7th inning, I'm not sure you would pinch run for Ortiz. 8th or 9th? Sure.
  24. mvp 78
    He's 5th in the league in innings pitched. Seems to be that he's one of the best at pitching late in games.
  25. mvp 78
    Why? It was the 6th inning, not the 8th or 9th.
