  1. Why didn't Varitek his 5th all series
  2. Its a shame we couldn't have seen this depleted bullpen yesterday.
  3. I can't believe Yeszir banned him for saying he liked Drew
  4. Lester playing stopper this afternoon. Good to see that from your ace.
  5. I figured that we'd see a similar change in Cameron's stats, kind of how Mike Lowell's numbers declined in his last year. I don't know what from Cameron's skill set made you think he'd turn into a .150 hitter. Or turn from an exceptional center fielder defensively to a terrible corner outfielder. He was going to decline significantly, but not to the point where a single A player could outperform him. I also don't understand how you forsaw that Drew would decide he wanted to hit .150 with RISP.
  6. Who would have thought the Sox would score off the 6th and 7th hitters of this lineup? DFAing Cameron must be a good omen.
  7. Hamels leaves the game with hand contusion. Philly still has more aces than the Yankees
  8. Kalish was a major league caliber OF last season, and only going to improve. They thought they had the luxury of keeping him in AAA. Navarro has been pretty good in AAA, so let's see how he goes before assuming he's a scrub. Linares was receiving some great scouting reports, but he was definitely a toss to the dart board-- unfortunately, that dart missed the target altogether.
  9. Sutton!! Not sure if Youk would have had that, glad to see Sutton earning his bacon.
  10. I think you're missing my point. Last year's OF was crummy, but it wasn't THIS bad. They found replacement level players, which pissed us all off, but .600 outfielders aren't exactly rare, and they found them last year from pretty much nothing. This year, guys who should be .600 outfielders are .400 outfielders.
  11. Sorry, I was unclear, that's why I lowballed the number.
  12. Cameron hit 25 home runs only two years ago. Last year, Mcdonald was more than serviceable as a 4th/5th OF. Other teams were high on Linares, and were asking about him, believing him to be major league depth, before he got injured. Kalish was going to be a midseason callup... you know, for when Crawford got hurt in June. Navarro was being prepared for the OF before getting injured. Add Reddick, and there are 6 other potential backup outfielders, 9 options in the OF. He built a lot of depth. The thing about building depth is you don't sign a bunch of major league caliber players for depth. You sign a bunch of guy with major league potential, and hope one of them works out. It is the same exact situation with the bullpen-- Albers and Miller worked out. Atchison did not, and Doubront/Hill ended upon the DL.
  13. From WEEI.com
  14. *insert comment about Tito/Dar-Fail* Man, I'm getting bored of complaining about this. Where the heck is Drew?
  15. How is this Theo's fault? Mcdonald and Drew are hitting well below career averages. Kalish, Navarro, Crawford, and Linares all have lost significant time this season. Cameron is the only guy in the group you can really blame him for. He had 8 serviceable options, and 7 flopped, that is just bad luck, not his fault.
  16. Big Papi, starting another 8+ game winning streak.
