  1. A double standard.
  2. It doesn't matter where you are playing if your team is much worse than your competition.
  3. If this happens, I'll bet his ERA doesn't rise above 4.00. His K's will drop, because he won't get to throw to the pitcher.
  4. The offense was better in the second half, especially by acquiring Victor Martinez. They had a rough stretch against the Yankees for three games, but they scored 5.5 R/G in the 2nd half, and only 5.2 R/G in the first. Overall, the offense scored 872 runs. It wasn't that bad. The pitching was the main concern, as it allowed a 4.70 ERA in the second half when some of the starters went on the DL. They will miss Bay, but they will be virtually certain to be better at every position defensively (including potentially massive upgrades at three positions). They probably won't score as much runs as they did in 2009, but the defense and pitching will be much better at run prevention. Besides, if the offense is as bad as you think it will be, they have plently of chips to make a run at a strong bat.
  5. $7 million per year? That would be a good bargain for Beltre.
  6. They probably can wait Beltre out and hand him a short-term contract (2 and 10?). Everything that I am reading suggests that Beltre wants a big contract that the Red Sox would not be justified in handing to him.
  7. I say he gets $25 million at the minimum.
  8. I would guess that his journalistic standards are much higher than the standards he has for an internet message board.
  9. They send Melky to the bench, and play Damon in LF.
  10. Babe Ruth would probably swat 1,000 HR's if he played today. He is the greatest player of all time. In 1920, only the Phillies as a team managed to hit more HR's than Ruth did all by himself. I would have loved to see him play. Accounting for the changes in the mound, the ball, the ball parks, and the rules, he'd be an unstoppable force.
  11. Do the Mets have any players that would appeal to the Tigers for Granderson?
  12. Why minimize one of his best tools? He can really go get it in CF. Melky's a fat f***. He's the one that should play LF, or sit on the bench.
  13. Granderson is a stud. 30 HR power, plays outstanding defense in CF, and is in the prime of his career. He probably isn't as bad against LHP as he was in 2009, which pulled his numbers down. Even if his OPS is in the .830 range, he is still a top 5 CF in the game. If the Yankees just have to give up Hughes, they are getting away with robbery. He'd knock the piss out of the ball in Yankee Stadium. Red Sox should be in pursuit.
  14. Tejada is bad in the clubhouse, and he is a fat SS. I don't like him.
  15. Haha, board senority. I love this guy's defense mechanism. Anyway, I think the Sox should go after Lackey, and save the prospects that they would have to give up for Halladay.
  16. This is a great point. Perhaps the author should follow it.
  17. .984 FLD% and only 10 errors.
  18. So, about Scuturo.... Bad deal, huh?
  19. I'm sorry for offending you.
