    Boston's leading the Capitals 1-0 in the second period. They dominated play in the first period against the hottest team in the NHL. Definitely one worth watching.

    Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how he does next year at AAA. I think he could make a fine 4th outfielder and who knows, maybe he'll be good enough to replace Ellsbury or Drew in the future. I think he's a little too aggressive a hitter to be a regular starter for us though. I think Westmoreland is a much more exciting player. He's much more patient, hits for more power and plays better defense. It's probably not realistic to expect him to be ready for the majors next year though.

    Ah, OK. That sounds much more realistic. Next year will be Ellsbury's first year of arbitration.

    The Red Sox aren't going to trade Ellsbury this spring and plug in Reddick as the everyday LF.

    If you cherry pick it to try to include games after the All-Star break in the first half, then there is a dramatic difference. But that's rather misleading. His best stretch of the year was the three games he had after the All-Star break, coming off 8 days of rest. That was the only time all year he had 3 quality starts in a row. Like I said, he had very poor peripherals all year. In the first half he had a 9.81 H/9, 4.25 BB/9 and a 1.56 WHIP. It's not like he was a good starter until he got tired later in the year. He greatly overperformed the entire season and if he pitched down to the level of his peripherals he probably wouldn't have kept his spot in the rotation.

    Two things: I think the Yankees should avoid moving Hughes in and out of the bullpen/rotation. They should pick a role and stick with it because switching him back and forth stunts his development and increases the risk for injury. And Hughes has had some injury problems. It wasn't the Joba rules that made Chamberlain ineffective. He had very poor peripherals all year as a starter. In fact, his first half peripherals were even worse than his second half ones.

    Logistically, Chamberlain makes a lot more sense as the starter. Hughes hasn't pitched much more than 100 innings in a season in each of the last three years. And it would be more difficult for him to transition back to being a starter now that he's scrapped his slider and abandoned his change. It should be interesting to see how Hughes does in a second year as a reliever. He had a few indicators, nothing too major, that suggested he a bit lucky. His BABIP once he became a reliever was well below .300 and his HR/FB rate was something like 3%.

    Because that's how you play hockey? Do you really think Stuart thought, "hey, this is one of the King's better players, I better hit him really hard" or do you think he though "this guy is looking behind him/has his head down with the puck and he's skating right towards me, he just handed me a chance for a big hit on a silver platter"?

    J.J. Putz recently spoke out about what a mess the Mets are. Among other things, he said: So I think I'm gonna side with the Red Sox doctors on this Jason Bay issue :thumbsup:

    This is just what we needed! So much for that tired Red Sox vs. Yankees debate. May I suggest the dawn of a new dynasty?

    You know this report is probably false, right?

    http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/even-the-best-teams-have-reason-to-worry From an article discussning the biggest flaws of MLB's best rosters. Their "fatal flaw" for the Red Sox was left-handed relief.

    Because they play for the Red Sox. Duh!

    The double standard here is embarrassing. Rivera, Pettitte and Posada are all older than Cameron, yet you've never maid a single claim that they'd regress. Can you say...hypocrisy?
  24. Imperial59
    :lol: I hope you were being sarcastic. Because if you actually believe that only two members of the Red aren't question marks then you're the most biased member of the site. That you only named 2 out of 9 members of the Red Sox lineup is players who aren't question marks is HILARIOUS. That's the most biased post I've ever seen on this shite.
  25. Imperial59
    Is there a member of the Red Sox lineup who you don't believe is a question mark? The way I see it, Ortiz can't do much worse than he did last year.
