  1. ...and letting walk Lester and trading Lackey for garbage.
  2. Not sure why is so difficult to accept that it was a bad move. He is a bad pitcher. It is what it is.
  3. Young pitchers can improve, yes, but when they are talented, not because they are young. Porcello is not talented, that's the thing. This is what I've been saying since day one. He's mediocre at best, and probably going forward he is going to be worse than that if he remains in the ALE.
  4. Clearly he doesn't according to the note.
  5. Not for winning now, but later. Also it doesn't mean that he has to do it now.
  6. Just get goddamn pitching man! http://fullcount.weei.com/sports/boston/baseball/red-sox/2015/07/31/ben-cherington-admits-being-wrong-with-beginning-of-year-expectations-for-red-sox/
  7. I heard that something is/was wrong with their books/irs or something like that, and that next year they will be clean again.
  8. I wouldn't trade our WS but... thanks for 2013, we have to move on.
  9. Harvey is a beast. Mets just need more offense. I just heard that next year they will spend as they used to, is it true?
  10. I would take Shields in a heartbeat.
  11. The same happened when Theo was here and s*** the bed big time.nWonder if It is LL's fault as well for Porcellos' mess. LOL!
  12. Because the later make 2013 a fluke year than anything else.
  13. ... But we were going to make some moves at the trade deadline, remember? That was the master plan, right?, right? LOL!
  14. The other day he said that he was the responsible for this mess. Probably it was just a PR statement but I really don't know. The funny thing is that some posters here think that LL is the one who always make the bad moves and Ben the good ones. Not sure how they came with that conclusion. When I listen them, seems like LL is the devil LOL!. Speaking for myself, I have no idea what to think about LL. Said that and as you said one thing is for sure, we do not know how/who make these calls.
  15. I thought that Ben was the GM. How do you know that LL was behind the signing? or is it pure speculation? or is Ben just a puppet?
  16. For the price we are paying for Porcello, Sandoval, Castillo and Ramirez, we could have Lester, Scherzer and Nelson Cruz. And still have enough left over to sign a decent 3b until Devers is ready...
  17. What? I think that you are the one that have cognitive reasoning issues. All of my bets were that Porcello would finish with an over 4 ERA, Hell, I was willing to to put the bar at 4.5, but I did not see that necessary since some of you were so damn sure that he was a under 4 ERA guy. LOL Now, the time to collect is coming.
  18. well said spud.
  19. I never liked that trade, BUT.... I said, well If their plan is giving him a No 4-5 role it will be acceptable, since at the time I expected the addition of a couple of arms, which never happened. Instead they gave him the No. 1-2 slot and not only that, they gave him an extension without a single pitch in red sox uniform. yes, it was really, really stupid.
  20. When I see Porcello (aside 2014 and 2015, in order to be fair), I see a 4.5 pitcher, but in the ALE and in fenway, I see a 5 ERA pitcher. Meaning "could be destroyed"
  21. Take away 2014 and make the sum. As I said, last year was a fluke year. I said that, over and over and over again.
  22. I would try to trade Porcello and Miley, but I do not see any team taking this junk. If we keep Porcello and Miley they shall be our No. 4 and 5. We need at least 2 solid, proven and durable pitchers. I've been saying this for a while.
  23. I think that Kim believed what it's in your sig, and it is oks but it is time to move on. Some of us did not drink Ben's kool aid at all.
