    Fangraphs is loving 2015's lineup. http://www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.aspx?position=ALL&teamid=3

    This doesn't remotely respond to the issue I had with your post. You said that no one here would have the testicular fortitude to take the ball from Pedro. When Pedro was in the dugout, he didn't think he was coming back in for the 8th. Grady put him in that position. You created a strawman for seemingly no reason.
  3. mvp 78
    You spent a whole paragraph bloviating about how going to Pedro wasn't a bad move. So were you just wasting all of our times with that nonsense? There is no defending what Grady did, but you seemed to be making a case for it.

    If you win 70% of your games, you'll wind up with 113 wins.

    I thought Williamson was pitching better at the time as well.
  6. mvp 78
    Pedro already thought he waa done when he got to the dugout after the 7th. The "who here could tell Pedro he was coming out" nonsense is a total strawman. I hate saying that word as it is overused, but it applies here.
  7. mvp 78
    You're actually trying to make a case that Grady didn't f*** up. This may be the dumbest thing you've ever said on here. I'm sorry.
  8. mvp 78
    Time will tell. All I know is Boras isn't in a rush to sign and they'll wait until the last possible moment.

    I think Scherzer is going to hold out as long as possible and don't see him settling for 150.
  10. mvp 78
    Jon Heyman beating the Scherzer to the Sox drum today. Makes more sense than Shields delending on $$$ amount.
  11. mvp 78
    Crawford didn't make sense from the get go. I could see Hanley and Panda working out. That's a lot of $$$ to pay a DH though. Gonzalez wasn't that bad here. I wouldn't say his trade was an abject failure, but having Rizzo at 1b would be nice.
  12. mvp 78
    Ok, so when you and Fred are saying people are ok with this rotation, it's because of people posting on Facebook/Reddit/Twitter and NOT because of posters on Talksox? It's just confusing because a lot of people are saying "why are people ok with this rotation" when almost all the thoughts I've seen on here are stating that a #1 is needed and that this rotation is mediocre.

    What a monster....

    He just f***ed the Pats too... "@garystriewski: Dear Pro Bowl, Thanks but we're gonna be busy that week gettin ready for the Super Bowl. Love Always, Brady, Gronk, Gost, Revis, Slater"

    I, for one, am EXTREMELY concerned about the curse of Gary Striewski. This team is done for as long as that piece of wood is around. It just makes me sick to my stomach that pruneface and that muppet Tom Werner would allow our beloved institution to be tethered to that anchor. Whenever he is on my television, I'm haunted by those dead eyes of his.
  16. mvp 78
    What's your definition of a "true #2?" My guess is that Masterson, Miley, Porcello and Buchholz have all had seasons where they pitched like a #2. How many "true #1's" are in the league? 15?
  17. mvp 78
    The closest reasoning I've seen has been "the AL East sucks, they could contend with this pitching staff in the regular season." I'm not sure anyone is getting ready for the duckboats yet. This isn't that kind of team right now.
  18. mvp 78
    Counting on Price, Cueto and Zimmerman to all hit FA is pretty risky too.
  19. mvp 78
    @danconnollysun: Orioles have claimed OF/C Ryan Lavarnway from Cubs. They tried to claim him one other time this offseason. He's been waived/claimed 3 times He's the real deal.
  20. mvp 78
    To me, a pitcher's 20-23 seasons aren't indicative of how he'll pitch at age 26. To hold a baseball player's performance prior to being able to drink seems like picking nits to me.
  21. mvp 78
    I wouldn't know why. Porcello is a much better starter than Capuano. It's not even close.
  22. mvp 78
    If Vasquez is batting .190, I'd still want him starting 100 games. He needs the experience. His bat is not his priority right now. We'll see if he grows into a .250 hitter.
  23. mvp 78
    Ross had a 2/6.2M contract. Depends on what your definition of cheap is. Hanigan's contract is close enough to Ross' to me.
  24. mvp 78
    D'oh

    It's only money and they are flush with it.
