    Just remember, it's only ST (unless the guy is performing poorly, apparently).
  2. mvp 78
    I'm not going to belabor the point as both you and I are on the same page as to what his ceiling is. Just hope he figures it out this year and can have a realistic chance of being in the rotation in April 2014 along with Webster.
  3. mvp 78
    Just think his upside is higher than an old Overbay.
  4. mvp 78
    And yet YOU keep using Farrell demoting him as an excuse for his performance. Look, I know you projected him as the 4th starter this year, but maybe he's just not ready and needs more time? It's not a big deal if he's not ready.
  5. mvp 78
    I'd go: Overbay, Carp, then Gomez as a last resort. Can Carp be sent to AAA without being put through waivers?
  6. mvp 78
    But you keep bringing it up as if it were a factor. It's one thing to mention it offhandedly, it's another to bring it up multiple times.

    "After Farrell made those comments, De La Rosa plunged. Not saying it's what caused his plunge, I'm just saying that it's an interesting order of events." No, that is completely what you're saying...

    FIFY

    In the end though, outside sources like Keith Law think Webster and Rubby are the 2 best arms in the Sox minor leagues. Clearly, these guys weren't just filler or the result of a hype machine.
  10. mvp 78
    Not nearly as well as the Yanks though.
  11. mvp 78
    The Dodgers thought very highly of Rubby, didn't want to include him in numerous deals at the deadline and believed he was a future big league starter. http://articles.latimes.com/2011/may/24/sports/la-sp-0525-dodgers-fyi-20110525

    Webster and Rubby have been top 100 prospects. Sands was more of the filler type (fringe prospect).

    He was ok. Would get infatuated with certain guys (Lugo, Salty). At the end of the day, he just couldn't say no to LL. Rather than building up a winner, he built a team of big names.
  14. mvp 78
    They gave up the prospects for AGon, the player they valued the most (big name, Mexican heritage, from SoCal).
  15. mvp 78
    If he can return to form, it'd be such a big help to this team. "If" he and Buchholz could pitch to their potential and the others don't fall apart, this team could indeed play meaningful games in September.
  16. mvp 78
    Yeah, he's a 2nd half reliever call up at best as I'd be wary of increasing his innings too much.
  17. mvp 78
    Yeah, I wanted open competition for SS and RF. Salty should have been traded and Lavs should catch 50% of the games. In 2014, a SP slot should be open for Webster/Rubby/Barnes/whoever is most ready. I don't think any of them are ready right now. If Webster pitches well in AAA, I'd bring him up in the 2nd half of this year.
  18. mvp 78
    Who was "right" about 2012? No one on here. No one said they'd win 69 games. The lowest number of projected wins was 82 by Muggah. Now who was "exactly" right on here? Not a700, SBF, iortiz. No one. If memory serves me right, SBF scurried off during last season as well.
  19. mvp 78
    Yeah, it totally "kills them" and "ruins their day" so much that they are quick to use the I Told You So card. If people want to be negative fans, it's fine by me. Just don't call others out for being ballwashers, because they don't agree with the negativity 100% of the time. You liked the Victorino signing? Ballwasher. You think the prospects that I don't like are good? Ballwasher. You think the team could win 88 games and be in contention? Ballwasher. You don't like my made up commentary? Ballwasher.
  20. mvp 78
    You don't know what you are talking about. He watched way more games of Rubby than we did!!! Stats be damned!
  21. mvp 78
    And just after you posted this, Fred posts his 5 years of failure nonsense. So, there you go. Also, if all you want is meaningful games in September, you should have been fine with 09, 10 and 11, but you weren't.
  22. mvp 78
    Regular bullpen guy: 13 games, 10 games started. Stop making stuff up please.
  23. mvp 78
    Pre 2004: if they win once, I'll die happy Now: they must win every year!
  24. mvp 78
    In real, the health Ortiz was a huge question mark and the FO chose to sign him because he's a likable guy and the Sox were miserable last year. To me, the contract was just a "thanks for the memories, do some more commercials, so that when Ells is gone in 2014 the pink hats will at least know one guy on the team." Since the Sox aren't going to be a WS contender this year or next, I can't be upset about him being injured.
  25. mvp 78
    Yes, let's be reality.
