    My offense is average at best. Let me think about it.
  2. iortiz
    That’s a pretty good staff, Ted. I could be interested in Severino, but not sure if I can match him with a closer.
  3. iortiz
    While this is ST I’m not seeing an improvement in Porcello’s performance. Not sure what he is trying to do in order to better this season. He went through a lot of ups and downs —just like last season. He needs to be more consistent.

    Thank you. So nobody else is joining? Cmon boys! We need one more!
  5. iortiz
    I just solved the problem. I just transferred compadre. Please Let me know if you see it in your account.
  6. iortiz
    I just tried to transfer you but I had problems with my PayPal account. Let me fix it and I transfer you as soon as possible.

    Hola compadre, José and Hugo wrote me saying they just made the payment. Their teams are Braves Team and All Betts are Off.
  8. iortiz
    12 would be better than ten. One more people.
  9. iortiz
    Ted, I have another friend who is interested. Let me know if there’s still room.
  10. iortiz
    Great! Good to have you this year again boss.
  11. iortiz
    I think he could be a good member and very competitive. Hopefully he joins.
  12. iortiz
    Moon, Bell, SK, Kim, etc what the hell are you waiting for to join the legue? LOL! Cmon!
  13. iortiz
    Totally agreed.
  14. iortiz
    So you are going to take only the year he performed well in Tigers uniform? LOL! In Tigers uniform he sucked —4/5 bad seasons In Red Sox uniform, well, he sucks too —2/3 bad seasons. I concur with Ted. A 4.3 ERA pitcher isn’t good by any means, at least not in my book.
  15. iortiz
    In Tigers uniform he sucked in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, and he was very good in 2014. Benny the Boo considered only that year to make his case and offered him without hesitate 80 M. A year later, when Porcello sucked, The Boo was fired —among other things.
  16. iortiz
    2 out of 4? 2015 he sucked 2016 excellent 2107 he sucked I think you have the bar very low my friend.
  17. iortiz
    LOL! It doesn't matter how hard they try to sugar coat it, Porcello has sucked in 2 out of 3 seasons in Boston Red Sox uniform, and he has sucked in 6 out of his 8 career seasons. He is not a good pitcher by any means. Also, I wonder whether his prime has already passed or he is in decline. Some said that his prime started in 2015 when he joined the Red Sox. Said that, hopefully he makes the adjustments and at least post something 9.5% HR/FB% otherwise he will be in trouble again.
  18. iortiz
    I've been saying this for a long time. The key for Porcello is his HR/FB%. If he is around 9.5%, you will see a solid No. 2 pitcher in the rotation. If he can't keep the ball in the park and keeps posting those horrendous 14+% HR/FB% (which will be an up-hill battle in the ALE for him), he will suck again. i.e. If his sinker doesn't sink, he will be in trouble. His fastball is a blank check. Only 30% of his pitches last year were sinkers, while in 2016 the percentage was 40, when he against odds won the Cy Young —although his BABIP/LOB% were the lowest/highest of his career (269/74). The lucky dragons taxed him in 2017. IMHO and as I said before... the coaching staff can't do much to improve this guy since the talent simply isn't there. Hopefully and at least the lucky dragons (BABIP/LOB) favor him again this year, like they did in 2016.
  19. iortiz
    because he won 22 games in 2016 —a fluke year. In 2017 and 2015 he won 19 and LOST 32! If you think Porcello is a Cy Young caliber pitcher, be my guest. He's not going to post 22 Ws again. If he posts what his career suggests —W/L 53%— I will not be pleased but it will be a huge improvement considering what he delivered in 2015 and 2017.
  20. iortiz
    Well Pom in the last 2 years has posted 170+ IP with a great performance —3.32 ERA in both. You can't ask more from him. Who is indeed a concern is E-Rod, but he is only 24, so... hopefully he can stay healthy moving forward.
  21. iortiz
    Porcello lives under the 7-run-rule shell moon. This is the reason he posts 200 IP every season. This doesn't bring value to the table; at least not for me. He minimizes the chance to win a game every time he's on the mound —because he allows a lot of runs, and a lot of them via HR. Don't believe me? look at his W/L column in 2015 and 2017 —15 & 17 Ls respectively. This is not a fluke, moon.
  22. iortiz
    I tell you this, if he ends up this season as a Cy Young candidate, I’ll forget him for his 2 atrocious seasons here LOL!
  23. iortiz
    The thing with Pom and Rodriguez is their durability. If Pom and Rodriguez are healthy, they are way better than Porcello, and it’s not debatable. Also, take those projections with a grain of salt my friend. They said that a Porcello was going to post something around 3.5 ERA last year and look how it ended up.
  24. iortiz
    Porcello in Red Sox uniform is mediocre at very best thus far. His Cy Young season was a fluke year. You don’t need WAR to figure it out. The contract was a mistake since day one. Thus far in his career, he has FiVE seasons posting 4.5+ ERA (four of them around 5), one around 4.3, and only TWO under 4—one of them a fluke one. Porcello sucks, plain and simple. I said this since day one. Said that, if he posts something around 4.0 ERA and improves his horrible 14.7 HR/FB, he’ll be a decent No. 4 for us. In my book Pom and Rodriguez should be ahead in the rotation.
  25. iortiz
    We need at least one more, but 3 would be the ideal. C’mon guys... join in!
