    XB 4th? You, sir, like to live dangerously.

    I like Pablo second because he's a high contact guy with excellent bat control. JBJ lengthens the lineup at the #9 spot in my opinion.

    Do you know what a fact actually is? I don't think you do.

    He's looking pretty good right now. A step forward from him and Barnes would go a long way towards helping this team fulfill its potential.

    Hopefully Price and Pom are fresher by that point because of the late start, but it looks like this rotation could be snake-bit right off the bat.

    Again, that depends on context, and we're back to the original statement. You watch a guy get hammered and display extremely poor control and you immediately think "something's wrong". That's the only way for us outside the industry to reach conclusions that are readily apparent to a team's coaching staff. The opposite can also be true, with a guy coming off a big injury raking, you can gleam from the box score that he's recovered nicely. Sandoval is a good example of this.

    So the context of player health, conditioning and mechanics is no context?

    Harper was not lacking "protection". He was injured, weird ass weekend with all of the bb's in the world notwithstanding.

    Isn't that why it's good pitching? The whole "X or Y can't hit good pitching" is intellectually lazy. If good pitchers could be hit consistently they would not be good pitchers.

    Stupid is as stupid does, I guess.

    Aka the Aaron Small effect.

    Fee his wrath MVP. Charge him an arm and a leg for it.

    What's more important than health?
  15. User Name
    Depends on context.

    It is by WBC standards.

    Puerto Ricans can choose to play for the US if they so desire, and Americans of any heritage (See: Machado, Manny) can play for any foreign team that they have familial ties to.

    Wait, wasn't I the main Porcello defender on this site? Shut your face, I'm trying to make a point here.
  19. User Name
    Also, I will slap Porcello in his horse face whenever I damn well please!

    The point of the comparison is the tendency pitchers have to (for whatever reason) struggle when first arriving to Boston, then getting their s*** together. Lackey (health), Porcello (performance) are two recent cases.
  21. User Name
    Oh man it's going to be so great once Pom gets his s*** together and becomes an All-Star caliber pitcher here, just like Porcello before him. Buying my popcorn right now.

    Players are not robots. They each have their own personality and agenda. "One size fits all" descriptions like the one notin just gave are just silly. Look at a guy like Pedroia...dude treats a game of checkers like the 7th game of a WS, then look at Ellsbury, who got his big payday and now looks like he could not give less of a f***. You can't just throw a general description and try to apply it to any and all ballplayers.

    It's what I keep saying.
  24. User Name
    Very much so. I've also heard the golf analogy from some of the wealthier baseball guys

    I've talked to former players and coaches who now play in Japan/Mexico/DWL who don't believe clutch is a repeteable skill. Are they wrong then?
