+1. Claps here please. As simple as that. Of course, we don't have the accurate details of the whole business operation, but when they make moves and you notice that out there are better options (from our perspective), even simple fans as us can emmit and why not a better judgements. Hell, the FO doesn't have super powers or something, actually they have showed lacks of business execution. Actually, I find out some people even in this board with better judgement than the front office at times. But again that is my opinion, of course.

The wound at pitching is so fresh on me Syth, you know how long we discussed this in Sep.... Tough call though. I said earlier that maybe they are thinking in land Beltran and go for the kid even if that means letting go Kalish and Lav. How does it sound? That could make sense to me.

I don't like Oswald E1, somehow remembers me Bedard (prone to injuries)! I don't wanna go through it again. I'd prefer Gio.

... or even a player, manager, ump, etc. Unreal but here happens my friend.

I don't feel proud of that call and I'm sure you neither, but hell, our pitching was terrible. Anyway, I hope we have learned from this and set a solid rotation and BP if we want to be serious contenders next year.

Well, as you said E1, seems that we are short in that department. The guy in the article says that the grades fluctuate specially in guys with B- and C+, so... Going to take a great effort to build the farm in that department.

Good work win red sox. Well if the grades are accurate, we only have a B+ pitcher in Barnes, and other 3 Bs-, I'm not sure how to read this.

Yesterday I watched an episode on MLB.TV and they said that our farm at pitching is close to 0 compared with other organizations, I don't follow that much AA, A, is this true? if yes, scary moving forward.

I agree Emmz.

I agree Emmz. The second paragraph is just about perspective. The problem with Lackey, is the time and the overall amount. I understand that you see it as year by year, regardless the dollars two years ago don't have the same value these days and still is not the best approach to compare those contracts. Sorry if I take this form an economic engineering perspective but since this is business as well, when you make a business case in order to evaluate an investment (player's contract) or even look at it in order to consider invest, you need to take the whole thing, I mean, n (period), i ( annual interest rate), and each cash flow in order to calculate the NPV (net present value) and IRR (Internal rate of return), otherwise your judgement wouldn't be correct. Said that, It's clear that Lackey's contract is far to be the same Buehrle's contract. There are +-35 M of deference considering that it was two years.
