The point has very little to do with Papelbon. I'm comparing Uehara to pitchers who have been excellent/historic. To put Uehara's season in the same conversation as Eck and Rivera's absolute best seasons is something that we should rejoice in, not hash up old arguments.
-
Uehara has a 0.69 WHIP. That's craziness. He's leading the league among qualified relievers. Papelbon's career best was 0.77 WHIP. Rivera's career best was 0.67 (and his second best is way off at 0.83) Eckersley hit 0.61 twice (and his next best was also way off at 0.91).

Why did they avoid trade deadline relievers again?

Wouldn't it be more painful with a fresh pineapple?
-
The slump is OVAH!!!
-
Remember all those games where the Sox get screwed by a broken bat or a bad call? Glad to get a little bit of that luck back with that play.
-
The Astros? Miguel Gonzalez must have a broken arm.

55 pitches for Lackey through 5 innings. Always good to give the pen a night off.

A-Rod's Future (Bans, Injuries and Fraud)
Palodios replied to Standing Room's topic in Other Baseball
A-Rod to be banned from baseball for life. Why not just save him the trouble, and just hand the Yankees a 100 million dollar check? -
Fortunately Iwakuma is getting up there in pitches. If the Sox can get to the bullpen for the 6th/7th it should be okay.
-
On occasion I will use other complimentary phrases towards Ben's mammaries, but Succulent Breasts is the one that I think has caught on.
-
Scutaro was traded for pretty much nothing, and then he had a monster postseason for the Giants. He was one of the few players on that team that still had the kind of grit and sportsmanship that we only have been seeing in Boston recently.

Matt Moore to the DL with elbow soreness
Palodios replied to Disciples_of_Mueller's topic in Other Baseball
Don't worry Rays fans. I'm sure Pedro Martinez II is sitting around in your farm system waiting to be unleashed. -
As I come to terms with this, it definitely seems like Ben sold-high on Iglesias-- who was clearly outplaying his skill set. I also hope that this pacifies the baseball gods, who were angered by the decision to put a gift like Iggy's glove at 3B. Last offseason, I figured the best strategy for the Sox was to find a guy they believed could get past struggles and turn into ace form for them. I thought Peavy was the best opportunity to catch lightning in a bottle... hopefully I was right.

I'm okay with most of that, but what I am most concerned about is when Doubront goes to the NL, has a 3.00 ERA for the next 4.5 years, and hear I-told-you-sos from the boob-haters out there.
-
Teams weren't interested in paying the full price for Peavy. They were willing to take Peavy's big contract, or give prospects, but not both. With this trade, the White Sox got a top 100 prospect, full relief from the contract and maybe more.

I miss Jed Lowrie.

A-Rod's Future (Bans, Injuries and Fraud)
Palodios replied to Standing Room's topic in Other Baseball
Selig has that power? I think it is time to start writing him letters. -
Iglesias's value is somewhere in between his monster first half, and this weak July. I think it is hard to judge Igleisias's based on his at bats against a very tough pitching month against guys like Iwakuma, Hernandez, Moore, Price, Colon, Pettite, Sabathia, Kuroda. He's still a rookie afterall, and needs to figure out upper tier pitching.
-
Reports saying that the Red Sox did not pursue Wilson because Johnny Gomes would not allow his nickname "The Beard".
-
You asked "Who takes him off your hands" as if no one would want him.
-
The worst part about this deal is that the Red Sox not only give up their best starting shortstop, but they also gave it directly into the hands of a playoff opponent. Fortunately, even his glove probably can't save the Tiger defense.
-
Starting pitching costs a s***-ton. Ervin Santana had a 5.16 ERA last year, and the Royals paid roughly the same for him on a one year deal. They can definitely get rid of him, but anything more than a mid-tier prospect would be wishful thinking.
-
What does this mean about 2014? Lester, Lackey, Buchholz, Dempster, Doubront, Peavy all under contract, and Ranaudo, Rubby, Owens, Webster, Workman getting ready to be contributors. They may need to trade one, or possibly two starting pitchers.

Don't argue with me, I'm just relaying information. :weNeedNewSmileys:
