  1. Sox should sign Yu Darvish if they're unable to get CJ Wilson. He's superior to Dice-K in every way.
  2. Lackey is a betraying, horse-faced *******. I hope the Red Sox DFA him to a pasture in Texas.
  3. I'm not worried about his power, he has never been known to hit a lot of Home Runs, Speed is the biggest asset for him. Obviously you haven't seen any decrease in speed yet because he just turned 30. Its going to hurt when it starts to though. Carl hits a lot of triples. One-hundred five triples before the age of 30 is a lot of triples. When his speed goes, those triples turn into doubles. That’s not so bad, but Carl loses some value. He’s a great base stealer with an 82% success rate. When he loses a step, that might drop to 70%, which is near the break even point in terms of runs, so again he loses value. He receives a nice chunk of value from his defense. Again, a lost step makes that less valuable. I also suspect he beats out a lot of infield grounders for hits. Again, with a loss of a step, his batting average suffers. Since his BA is large percent of his OBP, that will suffer with it.
  4. Yeah its hard to fathom how poorly he's played both offensively and defensively, I only see it getting worse down the road as he progresses through his 30's and he losses his speed.
  5. This song pretty some sums up this season, even though it ended s*****, all I can do at this point is look back and have a laugh. [youtube=Red Sox Decline]dq3Yg_l3UyQ
  6. John Madden
  7. I have a feeling the Skanks will offer Wilson a 5 year / 100 mill contract, can we outbid them?
  8. Ellsbury has a 9.7 WAR this year which is insane, I don't think he can sustain that level of production year after year.
  9. 2 - 0 Rays...
  10. Sox haven't won two games in a row since August 27th, the odds of them winning 3 games in a row seem really low...
  11. Really doesn't matter if they reach the playoffs or not, they don't stand a chance of winning the World Series.
  12. As the Sox push on through August and into September, the Boston candidates for the prize essentially come down to three players - Jacoby Ellsbury, Dustin Pedroia and Adrian Gonzalez. Gonzalez, BOS: .348/.409/.545, 92 RBI, 18 HR Ellsbury, BOS: .313/.368/.516, 78 RBI, 22 HR Pedroia, BOS: .305/.395/.473, 62 RBI 16 HR

  14. Its pretty funny how there were 3 600 HR hitters in 95 years (Ruth,Mays,Aaron) yet 5 600 HR hitters in the last 9 years. (Bonds, Griffey, A Rod, Sosa and Thome)
  15. I disagree, I think that title belongs to Albert Pujols.
  16. Modell's sells replica jersey's of Pedroia/AGon/Youk/Ortiz/Crawford/Ellsbury/Beckett for a $100 each, if that's still too expensive though you're probably better off getting the player T-Shirts
  17. Its okay, he'll be fine once he gets injected with some more stem cells during the All-Star break.
  18. So far this year Pedrioia has a 4.0 WAR while Cano is at 2.7
  19. How long is he expected to be out for?
  20. Cano is underrated defensively
  21. Ace

    DH future

    Its probably going to require 2 years/30 million for Ortiz to stay in Boston
  22. Ace

    DH future

    The DH isn't going anywhere. The American League owners don't want it gone, and neither does the Players Association (because the MLBPA is run by the veterans, and the rule benefits veterans most of all).
