    You're extrapolating a bit of anecdotal evidence while trying to argue a point that, while it has some merit, is not really quantifiable. Also, your points about clutch are terrible. Give that argument a break.

    I'm not arguing with Kimmi. I'm arguing with you. If I was arguing with her, I would have said the same thing.

    Your mojo, (much like Taylor Swift) is yesterday's news. Enjoy your time in the spotlight before The Beast (that is me) destroys the site with his unbearably powerful mojo, peasant.

    Porcello was a UFA after this season. They are buying 4 FA years at a premium, to avoid having to give him a 100+ million deal over 6 years like Homer Bailey's.

    Note: Everyone who doesn't buy a700's ******** is a psycho.

    They still do that, mind you. They just do it through a different method. Baseball economy is exploding and the SABR movement has taken the baseball world by the balls. It's not so easy finding "undervalued assets" when everyone's looking for them. a700 is just using his typical faulty logic to justify an unjustifiable opinion. The Red Sox current MO is not rocket science: Draft the best available talent, exploit the international market by any means necessary, and avoid stupid long-term contracts even if it means overpaying in the short term. Point/set/match. The hilarious thing is that the two people whining the most about the Porcello contract are the same two people who would whine the most if Porcello had a good platform year and they let him walk because he got too expensive. Just insufferable.

    Logic, thy name is SK7326.

    I like you. Please post more.

    That's not how it works. At all. He needs both movement and velocity to be succesful, specially against lefties. You can't get by on sinker movement alone. The difference in speeds between his heater and his offspeed/breaking stuff is vital, specially against lefties.

    He has no numbers. All he can do is make s*** up because he doesn't "like" a player. By the way, good work on your arguments Bellhorn. The way the market is exploding, you can be more than certain that Porcello was going to be close to the AAV he got from the Red Sox with more years attached to the contract unless he suffered a catastrophic injury and/or completely imploded during his platform season. iortiz is arguing because he doesn't know better, and a700 is arguing for the sake of arguing. Par for the course.

    That movie was clearly a turd, so he's agreeing with you I would think.

    No it isn't. Stop rationalizing.

    Throwing 87? lol no
  14. User Name
    The only thing he'll get is a quick asskicking if he keeps leaving 87 MPH sinkers right down broadway.

    Holy crap! Dustin Mcgowan sighting!

    David Buchanan I think is his name. He sucks.

    Sox overpaid in AAV to cut the contract short. It's not rocket science.

    Bogaerts is just so unclutch.
  19. User Name
    It could if you had any.

    Hernandez has been the exception that reinforces the notion of the inherent risk of pitcher contracts so far, while Verlander (still in prime, fantastic past history) is another example of said risk. Another big reason why the Sox gave Porcello such a high AAV is that since Ben Cherington took over as GM, they have operated under the MO to sign shorter deals, for higher annual money. Porcello is not the first one, he won't be the last one, and the whining is unwarranted.
  21. User Name
    We get it, you don't like Porcello.

    Fantastic way to describe the issue at hand. We're not reinventing the wheel here.

    Use your puny mojo now. I will use my WS-winning, ball-busting, world-destroying mojo later, when it is actually needed.

    Common sense!

    The Harang/Porello comparison is stupid. Harang is an older pitcher with no upside who got by on a scorching first half. He's also an extreme flyball pitching playing in a home-run suppressing stadium. Again, you wouldn't know common sense if you saw it slowly fly up to your house in a B-52 that said "Heeeeeere's common sense!" and dropped a napalm bomb on your house.
