    Johnny Damon is a type B. Too bad he'll make tons more in arbitration than in contract size.
  2. Palodios
    I can't tell if that was sarcasm or not...
  3. Palodios
    I wouldn't count on it.

    I was wonder if it had anything to do with the team's philosophy towards umpires, or something like that. I dunno, I was just curious.

    It blows my mind how bad the Mariners are at the plate. .237 team average, .647 team OPS.

    Jacko-- do you know why it is that Yes doesn't use a pitch zone to show pitch locations? When I lived in New York, it surprised me that they didn't show where the pitches were hitting. I watched a good 20-30 games, and I never saw it once, and I was constantly wanting to know where the pitches were going.

    No wonder Felix has so few wins. Besides Ichiro, there isn't a guy in the Seattle lineup hitting above .250. I think its time for Lackey to regain some reputation here.

    Toronto is a brutal team to make your debut against. One or two mistakes, and they'll take advantage.
  9. Palodios
    I think there is a chance it might happen, simply because it would sell tickets now that the team is on its way downward.

    SoxProspects says he will be ready in mid 2012. I know, SP isn't the best source for prospect information, but if he's here two years earlier than he should be, that's probably not a good sign. Its a move of desperation, pretty much.
  11. Palodios
    No one doubted it. He has always had ace stuff, that's what he was projected as, but he suffered confidence issues for a long time. Everyone sort of didn't like your post because it was hard to read

    Right now, there are ten right fielders that have a higher WAR than Drew, and most of them cost less. Sure, he's above average defensively and offensively, but when he sits 20% of every season, that hurts his value considerably. He's pretty much untradeable right now, so the Sox are just going to have to deal with it until he's gone at the end of 2011. But then again, he's been the only consistent piece in this outfield this year, and he's the sort of player who exceeds expectations in contract years, so he's worth holding onto, maybe he'll yield a draft pick. Beckett was signed for a 4/68 year deal back in April. Dice-k has two more years.

    I wouldn't mind seeing Adam Dunn in the middle of this lineup.
  14. Palodios
    The problem is... he's pitched far and beyond better than anyone else. 1st in IP, 2nd in ERA, 2nd in strikeouts, 4th in whip. No one else really is even close right now. And sure, he only has 9 wins... but he has a ridiculous 89% quality start percentage, and leads the league with 24. Normally I defend the win statistic, but Felix has been violated by his team this year.
  15. Palodios
    Cahill 148.2 ip, 2.54 era, .99 whip. Hernandez 197.0 ip, 2.51 era, 1.13 whip These guys are pretty much in the race too.
  16. Palodios
    Sorry, I wasn't clear. The other home run walkoff wasn't this year, but two years ago. But he has played great in the later innings.
  17. Palodios
    When this team needs a win desperately, Dice-k pitches 8 innings.
  18. Palodios
    Its his second home run walkoff, I know that much.
  19. Palodios
    Jed Lowrie!!!
  20. Palodios
    Bringing him back in the 9th is pretty much a lose lose for Dice-k. He has a much better chance of blowing the game than winning it.
  21. Palodios
    Overbay has 9 RBI in the last two games, and the Blue Jays haven't even seen our bullpen yet today. Can you give Lars the name of your pharmacist?
  22. Palodios
    Its been tough rooting for this team after the last two days. But, Dice-k is pitching, so someone probably needs to appreciate him.
  23. Palodios
    Well, it looks like Lester won't be stealing any votes from Buchholz now.
  24. Palodios
    So let me get this straight. They weren't good against good teams, and they weren't good against bad teams... then what does that make the NL? You're clearly contradicting yourself here. No matter how well they played, it was never good enough for you. You even criticized Youk as "not living up to his potential" when he had a 1.000 OPS. You were ready to give up on the team back in the first week of April. In the month of May, the Red Sox were 18-11, .620 winning percentage. In the month of June, the Red Sox were 18-9, a .677 winning percentage. June 25th through June 27th, the Red Sox lost Pedroia, Buchholz and VMart. Losing a legitimate ace, and two players who are top 3 at their position was what made the difference. It had absolutely nothing to do with the quality of this team-- it fought through games it should have lost, and managed to make do with a makeshift lineup all season.

    Well, not necessarily. They just need to make sure that between 1B and DH, only one of the two is long term. I don't see that being a big problem. Drew/Cameron will be gone in 2012, and Ellsbury will be gone in 2014-- if not sooner. Nava and Kalish were brought up a little bit too early because of the lack of outfield depth. There's nothing wrong with having AAA players who kick ass, they are by far the most valuable trade chips you can have, they provide organizational depth, and don't cost anything. I don't see either Nava or Reddick outperforming Werth any time soon, and if they do, that's more of a blessing for this team than a problem.
