  1. Sox should have offered 4-80. I see a lot of fans saying worst to first to worst to first. I don't see that happening. They really need their young arms to actually pan out. That hasn't happened since 07-08.
  2. @BattingStanceG: Looks like winner of the James Shields for Wil Myers trade was the Padres.
  3. If you only start 25 games, you aren't getting close to 180 innings pitched.
  4. Mine: Mookie Betts won't win ROY Pedroia will go on the disabled list after fighting through an injury for most of the year Miley and Porcello will exceed expectations Napoli's numbers will be closer to 2013 than 2014 Ramirez and Sandoval will have disappointing seasons Xander improves at SS, but people generally still complain even when shown defensive metrics Buchholzis traded midseason Sox end season in third place with 86 wins
  5. Four months ago, the playoffs were still going on.
  6. Oh, I didn't believe that nonsense when I heard it.
  7. No more bitching about WAR and "stat nerds." WAR is now on the back of Topps cards.
  8. I was told this was the worst starting staff in MLB. If that's the case, pitching injuries won't matter.
  9. @sports_fool39: @RedSox Only 2 weeks to Pitchers and Catchers. Just fourteen more sunrises and fourteen more sunsets. It's getting close now. #GoRedSox
  10. I don't think any of them will get 200 innings
  11. Only 34 pitchers threw 200 innings last year. Of course they won't get to 1000 IP. That's about 1 per team. Only 66 pitchers had an ERA under 4. Could the staff average 4.00? Maybe? I bet 3 guys are under 4.00 and 2 are over.
  12. That's dumb.
  13. Who is laptop?
  14. Remember everybody, I'm the ******* that starts everything, right?
  15. It's about hedging the money first and foremost.
  16. Moving the line is the oddsmaker's effort to balance betting action, and often times such moves can have a major impact on a bettor's decision. This has nothing to do with "oh, who will win the AL East" but rather where is all the money being put down. For example, if the Sox were 12/1 to win the WS, but there's a huge influx of betting on that line, the odds makers will reduce it to 10/1 or even further. However, if no one is betting on the Sox at 12/1 they'll increase the odds to 14/1 or wherever. It's about the casinos hedging their bets and knowing historically where people are putting their money. The onfield moves are secondary at best. But I just don't know what I'm talking about I guess. Welcome to the world of gambling, you must be new here.
  17. That's not how the betting lines work. It's bot about who the casinos think will win, but rather about who the casinos think the betting public will put their money towards.
  18. Owens will be the opening day starte and break Hershiser's scorless streak. Good shot to win ROY/CY/MVP.
  19. @PeteAbe: Cubs (but of course) claim LHP Drake Britton off waivers from the #RedSox.
  20. I hope you like losing.
  21. Lies. Joe Kelley already stated he's getting the CY. Pedroia won't hit a double digit HR total. Papi won't get to 30 HR's.
  22. Shields prefers to pitch on the West Coast and lives in San Diego. They are in talks with him and could probably offer a discounted deal that he'd take. That's probably a better spot for him, imo.
  23. Hamels is in his 30's, never pitched out of NL and has a huge contract. I'd rather save top prospects than find a short term solution.
  24. Stop using words you don't understand. Put the thesaurus away.
