    It's less unreasonable and less unrealistic than the question you posed.
  2. mvp 78
    The question is: if they didn't extend him, would you have signed him for the contract this offseason after his 2015 performance? That's far more relevant than saying "what if he pitched well."
  3. mvp 78
    Your argument is based in fantasy land and not real life. The fact of the matter is Porcello didn't have a long track record of being a top pitcher. He was good for one year. The extension was done too early, plain and simple.
  4. mvp 78
    Oh boy. Theoretical good value really gets meexcited.
  5. mvp 78
    Sorry, but you're wrong about the offspeed stuff.
  6. mvp 78
    We have provided good reasons, you just don't agree. My reasoning conflicts with yours, so I could never convince you no matter what my reasoning.
  7. mvp 78
    But the reality is that he didn't pitch well. Your point is just guess work.
  8. mvp 78
    He went from being fat to obese.
  9. mvp 78
    They've handed out tons of big contracts. I think they value analytics just as much (maybe even more considering Pablo's defense). Not sure how they changed the prioritization of the farm.
  10. mvp 78
    This ST was his second chance. He blew it by showing up out of shape.
  11. mvp 78
    What philosophy? Which career?
  12. mvp 78
    Until you can admit Pablo's a little out of shape, these conversations will go nowhere.
  13. mvp 78
    But now they have Pablo on the bench, a former WS MVP. He'd be a great pinch hitter especially since you're expecting regression. If Pablo hits when given the chance, he'll earn his job back. Having his agent bitch about the situation only makes it worse for him though. Castillo can play all 3 OF positions very well. Not sure how it really hurts the bench.
  14. mvp 78
    Castillo has never been an effective Major Leaguer. Expecting him to "reverse course" is a fool's errand. If the Sox believed he was an everyday player, they'd ride it out with him. The problem with Pablo is that his defense is horrendous and he is more out of shape than ever. It's hard to reverse course there unless he starts to lose the weight.
  15. mvp 78
    The trade was fine, the extension was not.
  16. mvp 78
    Carefully.
  17. mvp 78
    For the next contract.
  18. mvp 78
    That's all I'm saying. If he wants to be a good soldier, his agent is hurting his career.
  19. mvp 78
    Can't agree. If agent is truly speaking out of turn, he'd be fired. Pablo is hiding behind him.

  21. mvp 78
    I just can't agree. He was the worst fulltime player in MLB last uear. It was more than a slump.
  22. mvp 78
    I have both, but only one shits all over the house. Get lost cat #3...
  23. mvp 78
    Haffenreffer. I've bought a few 40's of that in my time. Great for pizza and a movie night with my dog.
  24. mvp 78
    Well, let's wait and see how Kimmi says the meeting went.
  25. mvp 78
    I remember being inundated with videos of Rubby De La Rosa on here. We need to temper expectations a little bit.
