    Pal, if you were a girl, i would date you.

    I read somewhere that the strike zone has actually lowered by a couple of inches over the last few years, and the Red Sox are targeting pitchers who work in that area of the strike zone, so there is a method to their madness.

    And they've been unwilling to do so. The Phillies' GM is notably difficult to negotiate with.

    Bluntness and anger are very very different things. And the point stands. The Sox can hype their own prospects, like every other team, but when uninterested parties are doing the hyping, it's a good idea to listen.

    Hamels and his hefty price tag are not worth a guy like Bogaerts.

    I agree with everything you say here except the trade scenario. You need a base of very good to elite controllable talent in order to compete consistently. That's something the seld-anointed old-timey and bas-english speaking gurus of this site refuse to understand.

    I have actually read a couple mlb.com columnists predicting Scherzer to the Sox and theorizing that he was their target all along.

    Whatever bro. Go agree with a700.

    You don't get tired of holding a700's and fred's jockstrap and no one says anything. Also, as usual, you don't even make any goddamned sense. I'm not whining about people whining or anything of the sort. I am arguing that trading Bogaerts for an overpriced pitcher when there are options that cost only money is stupid, and would come back to bite the Sox on the ass. How hard is it to read the words that i am actually typing? Is there a language barrier problem here?

    Discussion is what forums are for. If you don't like people supporting their opinions about the Red Sox here, then you shouldn't be on a Red Sox forum.

    So all of the scouts and analysts who see potential for superstar offense and adequate defense in XB are wrong, but the pundits here at talksox have him all figured out because of rookie struggles? You know what happens when you make stupid panic moves like that? Lance Berkman happens.

    This is a terrible idea. We get that you dislike Bogaerts, but trading him now would only give you license to whine about the fo when he becomes a star. Your idea is bad, and you should feel bad.

    James Shields ERA+ 2012-2014: 120 Yu Darvish ERA+ 2012-2014: 124 David Price ERA+ 2012-2014: 132 Shields actually does compare favorably to Darvish and Price in reference to ERA+, which controls for park factors.

    CC and Shields are clearly not comparable. Halladay might be a better comp, but Halladay's fall happened due to injury, a risk that increases as a pitcher ages, so the argument has merit.
  15. User Name
    I'd give Shields 5/110 and if he takes it, essentially call it an offseason.

    This is a terrible, terrible idea. The continued desire to trade XB for an overly expensive #2 shows your lack of foresight. The funny thing is, if they do trade XB and he turns into a star in Philly. you'll be the first one whining about how they have "identified his potential and not trading him".

    The "whatever price" mentality is probably the worst way to go about roster building. That is terrible terrible thinking. As for Shields, those who don't think he's a number 1 should not only look at the already-presented stats, but should take a look at the fact that his fastball velocity has actually improved over the last couple of seasons. It has improved from 91 MPH to 92.4 MPH from 11-14.

    So your prime guys who had bad seasons are primed to rebound, but our new pitchers and guys who had down seasons are not primed to rebound. I think the chart needs to come back.
  19. User Name
    Man you sure are good at manipulating data to make things sound worse than they are. Fox news should give you some airspace.

    Yeszir sighting!
  21. User Name
    They did not go after Santana because he's extremely homer prone and inconsistent. Neiither good traits for Fenway,
  22. User Name
    With all of those dinosaurs on offense? No one is solidly behind you.
  23. User Name
    No. No he wouldn't.
  24. User Name
    Adds a little spice to the Talksox soup.
