    We're over 4% into the season!!! I'll mark you down as "other."
  2. mvp 78
    The team also had Scott Rolen, Jim Edmonds, David Eckstein (his second consecutive AS season) and a young Yadier Molina. That's a good foundation for a team that was great at home and struggled mightily on the road.

    When the Sox trade for 2006 Albert Pujols, let me know.

    Ah the old Billy Beane taking a baseball bat to the clubhouse wall because of "luck" gag. I don't buy it. Luck can win you one game, but won't get you to win the whole thing.
  5. mvp 78
    The goal for this team is to get to the playoffs or at least make a nice run. I don't think anyone is under the illusion they'll be able to do anything if they get in.
  6. mvp 78
    He played up to his contract in Texas and got no rings there. It takes more than one person to get there. However, without ARod, they don't win that last one. It's still a ******** excuse to not pay the guy, but what else do you expect from a shady organization like that. Just look at the nonsense they spewed about the ticket exchange and how they don't want newbies in prime seats. Gross.

    I think Farrell will manage himself out of a job sooner than later.
  8. mvp 78
    To me, the FO should have known that the rotation would be unreliable. I have to give them the most blame.
  9. mvp 78
    I hope we don't have to wait that long. I agree though.
  10. mvp 78
    Considering the angst around here, who is the most at fault for the uninspiring start to the season? You can choose multiple options if need be.
  11. mvp 78
    "Cheap." I think you could get similar results with Henry Owens. There's clearly a reason DUMBrowski wanted to keep him around. If he fails, it's just a black eye for the new FO guys.
  12. mvp 78
    I don't remember Kendall having sick blackwork though.
  13. mvp 78
    It's a pretty slimy way to treat someone who won you a WS, imo.
  14. mvp 78
    You think Swihart is basically Jason Kendall?
  15. mvp 78
    Yes. You need to get to the end of April, at the very least. It's way too early to panic. This team isn't 0-7. The offense is pumping. The bullpen is really good. The team has been fine defensively. The rotation just needs to be tweaked (either by the pitchers settling down or by bringing new blood in).
  16. mvp 78
    Last year, the team played much better under Lovullo for whatever reason.
  17. mvp 78
    Last year, Hanigan's CERA was 4.56. Swihart's CERA was 4.51. Leon's was 3.50 (fewer appearances than Blake or Ryan).
  18. mvp 78
    If this was to me, I wasn't suggesting that. I was just asking the questions to see what other people thought a reasonable solution would be. I like Swihart. I wanted him on the opening day roster. Atm, he's just not a good defensive catcher.
  19. mvp 78
    I'm not certain that he'll work out as a C, but it's definitely worth the shot given his age. Moving him off position this early would indicate to other teams that he probably won't pan out. It takes a while for some catchers to mature (why the Mariners gave up on Varitek). I just remember that 2-3 years ago, a lot of people (including Soxprospects) were saying that he may wind up at a different position (1b, 3b, corner OF). This isn't some new position that is being mentioned because of a dropped foul ball or two. To me, the onus is on the pitching staff. I can't blame Swihart for their failings.
  20. mvp 78
    Playoffs? It would be silly to worry about the rotation that far in advance. You have to get there first.
  21. mvp 78
    Would moving Swihart to AAA help him defensively? Is it getting more clear that he's maybe not a long term solution at C? Trade? Move to another position?
  22. mvp 78
    CV would have been the opening day starter if he was fully recovered from injury. If he's ready to go, he should be up here. Buchholz can't even nap with his baby without destroying his shoulder. He's softer than wet toilet paper and has never had a pitching performance that he thought was bad.
  23. mvp 78
    They should have dumped a bunch of veterans last year they way they did in 2012.
  24. mvp 78
    Buchholz, go away. Kelly, go to the bullpen. Farrell, GTFO.
  25. mvp 78
    It is just April 13th though. Some of the pronouncements on here are a little much.
