  1. Good luck with that.
  2. I feel sorrier for the bench than I do for Henry's wallet.
  3. The Yankees losing bullpen arms: this is a good test for our young power pitchers The Red Sox losing bullpen arms: uh oh
  4. He still hasn't responded about his ERod theory though.
  5. It's not about the overall speed, it's about the difference in speed and movement between pitches.
  6. If Tazawa has a solid season, the pen should be ok enough.
  7. He's been injured. Whatever he brings to the table will be gravy. I don't see him as an 8th inning guy at this point.
  8. A decent fastball and a mediocre breaking ball is enough to get by as a low end reliever in MLB, which is what he currently is.
  9. This election cycle has been the worst/greatest reality show in history.
  10. If he was able to find and develop young pitching, he'd still be here.
  11. I honestly didn't know if you liked Price better or if you had just forgotten to include him. Not a big deal to me.
  12. At the same age of 25, Shaw had more HR's while only needing half of the ab's that Hillenbrand did.
  13. But AGon trade was worth it just for the drama on Talksox they day AGon got on the plane without signing agreeing to an extension. This place flipped its lid. It was hilarious. Anthony Rizzo would look mighty nice right now though.
  14. If they thought that, he'd be in LF on opening day. He's toast. Stick a fork in him. To them, he's a 5th OF.
  15. Super Theo!
  16. It's not about "they would have," it's about "they should have." They weren't going to pay for Lester. Mistake. They were going to pay for 2 3b's instead. Mistake. I just hope whoever decided on that s*** show has no more say in personnel decisions. If Castillo was salvageable, he'd be the opening day LF. Porcello could pitch like 2014 again, but it's far from a certainty.
  17. Considering the other contracts on the books (Craig, Porcello and Panda), I don't think Hanley's contract is an albatross. It's fine.
  18. I prefer the faster pace of the NHL, but the Bruins are just terrible right now. They are a team on the decline who are going to fire their coach in the next few weeks. The C's just need a guy that can take the ball over at the end of the game (not IT or Evan Turner).
  19. Unpopular Opinion Alert: I'd take Price over Sheilds.
  20. I think Holt will still be the main super-sub, just that when he's not subbing in he will have a position available to him. With Castillo, it was about spending $$$ on a prospect/lottery ticket. If it worked out, great. If it didn't work out, at least they didn't spend all that time training him and it's just money anyway. Basically, they were saying "we don't have ANY OF prospects right now, we need to pay to get one in here. This guy has a high upside and is athletic enough that he could be replacement level at the very least."
  21. It's called doing your research, buster...
  22. I'd probably put not re-signing Cabrera at #4 (this of course is ignoring the clubhouse rumors that no one liked him). It took them almost a decade to find a suitable replacement at SS.
  23. Except that they have seen him day in and day out for a year and a half. They clearly don't like what they see and are moving on. Sure, we can say "oh let's give him a shot," but ultimately we know .0001% of what those guys do. It seems like they are cutting bait and don't believe he'll ever figure it out. We're talking about a 29 year old, not some 24 year old who still has room for growth. Castillo is who he is and they don't seem to like it much.
  24. As long as he doesn't have Hillenbrand's attitude. There's no Bill Mueller to take over for him.
  25. It's probably is: Lester walking Crawford signing to play LF Panda signing a monster deal I can't think of any other moves that were as confounding to me as the above 3.
