    Actually I'm very much sold on Holt. Where we differ is that I think he should be a "super-sub" playing all over the place, and they should manage his playtime to keep him fresh. He can flat-out hit, and play pretty well at pretty much any position.

    The TalkSox league is a money league FYI.

    WAR doesn't work like that. It's a cumulative stat.

    Bumgarner, Lester and Carrasco will be very good. Gio is a WC. Unless his control improves, he's toast.

    Drew was an upper-tier SS just the year before, coming off of helping this team win a WS. The intention was always to re-sign him, but they waited him out once they saw his market dried up. Also, Bogaerts looking like a statue at SS didn't help.

    fred, this is a pretty dumb statement.

    fred, anyone who has coached also knows that the inability to get through an entire season maintaining your production is part of being "overexposed". The reason labels stick to guys is because it's what they've shown over a significant amount of time. Now, that doesn't mean you don't play a guy who's red-hot. That also doesn't mean said guy will maintain that production over a full season. fred, you love to tout your coaching acumen, but sometimes you say things that don't make sense from a coaching perspective. As a coach, you know there are some kids who don't have the stamina to play for prolonged periods. Also, intangibles mean jack s*** if the talent isn't there.

    Batting average is a terrible way to measure a player's production. Also: Brock Holt first half stats: .327/.371/.463 .834 OPS Brock Holt second half stats: .219/.278/.271 .548 OPS You know when splits like that happen? When a player gets overexposed.

    That's exactly what the post I quoted is disputing. Read it again.

    Perfect example of how fans overrate Holt. He's a bench player, just a really really really good one. The type of guy a WS champion team always has, and good numbers on a SSS don't change that.

    I like you. You make sense.

    You know it ain't gonna last.

    It's not normal. Specially for guys like Miley and Porcello. This team will hit though.

    Then you should also be fair game when you make a s***** post. You can complain about the team, the FO, etc. Without being a complete and utter insufferable *******. A lot of people have done so through the years and do so to this day without stirring up controversy. It's not that hard.

    Probably both.

    You can be great and overrated at the same time. He's great, because he's a really good bench player who can play multiple positions, but overrated because a bunch of members of this fanbase think he's starter material, when he really isn't. He's the kind of guy who'll thrive if put in the position to succeed, but will tumble down to earth if overexposed, as his career arc shows.

    I had a horrible f***ing day, and the Sox just helped make it even worse. Score some f***ing runs when you pitch, prevent some f***ing runs when you hit. It's not goddamn rocket science.

    iortiz, grow a pair.
  20. User Name
    You're a f***ing troll. You come in with the specific intent of stirring s*** then play the victim card. At least don't be a pussy and cut to the chase. "Act like a man!"
  21. User Name
    ....through less than a month.
  22. User Name
    Right on the money.
  23. User Name
    iortiz being an idiot. What are the odds? I bet he doesn't even know what "hilarious" means.
  24. User Name
    I'm awesome......like Pedroia. Now stop drinking that haterade, hater.

    Absolutely all of this is wrong except the worries about the BP.
