    How are you this dumb? That's not what she's saying at all.

    Sox can (and should) easily outdo the Blue Jays for Carrasco. That's exactly the type of guy they should be targeting.

    He keeps using Shields as an example of contracts the Red Sox should be aiming to give out. Dude has a 4.12 FIP, 94 ERA+, 1.31 WHIP, and has given up 20 bombs in the best pitcher's park on this planet. He's a great example of what the Red Sox should NOT do.

    Pretty much.

    In young pitching wish upside. Not veterans with the possibility of becoming busts with enormous contracts. Why is this so hard to understand?

    It's father's day here today. We're partying here either ways.

    Pedro was better than Clemens, even while Clemens juiced. The rest of the guys didn't pitch at the height of the steroid era.

    That was a big deal here. Lots of DR student organizations localized in colleges across the US whined incessantly about it.

    Is there anything that doesn't f***ing bother you bruh?

    With his contract, Pedroia's not going to be a part of any deal for young pitching.

    Swihart would have to headline any deal. One of Owens/Rodriguez and a mid-level prospect. You could lessen the haul by acquirig one of the Guardians' many bad contracts IMO.

    What I'm arguing for, is this team focusing on pitching. Both the rotation and BP are in shambles. The offense has a chance to bounce back all by itself. The Pitching needs help.

    I'd indeed much rather pay out the nose for one of Kluber/Carrasco than going for Hamels. Hamels is a terrible fit for this team and would be a truly boneheaded decision from an FO that needs to settle on a sustainable course of action.

    Hamels is a terrible idea, for umpteenth time. He'd cost significant prospects AND money, and he's been terrible against the AL over a significant sample.

    Pedroia is not one of the many problems this team has.

    Yet the Padres are essentially giving away Shields because he's been a league-average pitcher this year. This is why these contracts are usually bad investments. You keep saying the same flawed idea no matter how many times you're proven wrong on it. Shields was a terrible investment from the get-go, and Lester will be soon. This team needs to focus on young, upper-level pitching. They can get good, young, controllable pitching, but they will have to pay the price in money and prospects.

    I actually took one, my friend. Well said.

    You're focusing on the wrong problem. It's the pitching.

    I think Porcello will bounce back, and Miley has been pretty darn good after a disastrous April.
  20. User Name
    No, I really don't.
  21. User Name
    I'll take the pick.

    They only made two real errors (and they were big ones) this offseason from my vantage point: Signing Panda and tinkering with Porcello's approach. Hanley at 3B anchoring the lineup would make that deal look much better. Adrian Gonzalez made mention of how the guy's a natural infielder, and moving him was a terrible idea. I suspected (and mentioned in other threads) that the pitchers they acquired would have an adjustment period. I didn't expect Masterson to be cooked, but he was a 1-year deal anyways. I think the Sox can make some moves to greatly improve the roster for next year without having to sacrifice their upper-echelon prospects. Substance signing/trades I'd call them. If they try to go for "flash" like they did this offseason, they'll probably f*** s*** up again.

    The offfense has a chance to bounce back. The pitching doesn't. I keep saying, however, that Hamels is a terrible idea. The Sox need young, controllable pitching both for the rotation and the bullpen. That's the only justifiable use of assetss for this team right now.
  24. User Name
    Good question. Because this team has so many pitching needs, it won't have a lot of money left over to focus on OF production. I'd like to see them bringing in a Kapler-type that can mash lefties and platoon him with Holt in LF (while moving him aorund the diamond and letting him do his thing as well) and create competition for the final spot between JBJ and Castillo. One of them should become a productive regular IMO.

    "Fatherly" is certainly a gracious and kind way of putting it.
