    He should hurry this s*** up. I need my beauty sleep.

    You can't compare one-year production in this scenario, because not only was Masterson injured (and this is common knowledger) but Porcello greatly outpitched his peripherals last year, which were similar to the rest of his 4.30 ERA career. Compare the three years prior to 2014 for both pitchers: Porcello average : 178 IP, 4.56 ERA, 96 ERA+, 1.4 (!) WHIP, 5.9 K/9. Masterson average: 205 IP, 3.85 ERA, 100 ERA+, 1.3 WHIP, 7.5 K/9. So you're basically looking at two league-average pitchers, but one is only going to cost you money and people in the industry believe he's bound to bounce back to his pre-injury performance since he has no arm-related issues. I'm also not buying Porcello to the Red Sox because his peripherals just aren't that good.

    Yeah there's always a "pitching surplus" until the injuries start piling up and/or you trade the young pitcher that winds up becoming a superstar. There are plenty of options that cost only money. Sign two FA's, trade for the other pitcher.

    He's a mid-rotation starter to slot AFTER the two decent starters. Or do you think the rotation can consist of four pitchers? And even worse, Buch is often injured and can be downright terrible. They need three pitchers who can eat innings, and Masterson can eat innings, and will only cost money. It's common sense.

    Sell the future for 2015 when there are viable options to avoid that route? No thanks.

    I'll take Masterson over Porcello anyday, but that's just me.

    I like you.

    Fine by me, dude is crazy inconsistent.

    He's a good pitcher, but not only is he a year away from FA, he would have also cost prospects and he's necessarily a #2 pitcher in the AL. They should get a legitimate frontline starter and a borderline #1, not a probable #3 with a chance to be a #2 who's also going to cost prospects.

    Are you serious with this? It's December. And Samrdzija would have been a terrible fit.

    Not even comparable. Not only does he pitch in the NL West of all places, Cahill's skills have been deteriorating for years, (especially command and control). He's also had some underlying command and velocity problems that usually creep up just before a pitcher is required to have a big, career-altering surgery.

    Cahill is terrible.

    Srsly?

    *Outfielder, and yes. In fact, i was watching an interview with Jocketty in which he pretty much said "Yeah, we're gonna trade an SP for a LF because we don't have enough money to sign one otherwise, and we're not trading prospects".

    That's not how it goes: It goes "Sox make take-it-or-leave it offer like iortiz wants, then iortiz complains because the FO doesn't understand business".

    Latos is criminally underrated because he's yet to really break through like it's been expected of him. But he's a big boy with big-boy stuff. I would really like to see him ply his trade in Boston.

    The alternative was to outright admit they were going to dump Cespedes (which we all know is what's actually going to happen). THAT, was the wrong thing to say IMO.

    ....but it was the right thing to say.

    Farrell always says all the right things.

    I like Shields for four years. The Sox get Shields, Masterson and a Porcello type and they're in business.
  22. User Name
    Wha? Over the previous 3 years, Masterson averaged 32 starts, 205 IP, and a 3.85 ERA. These things take three seconds to look up.
  23. User Name
    ....and most of them have been dispelled. But if it is true, and the Yanks get Lester, then the Sox should enter the Scherzer sweepstakes.

    When he produces at the ML level, we can take off the "assorted suck" title.

    Bad knee and ankle injuries, control went to hell. He was supposedly looking for a 1-year, $12 million offer to recoup value. We'll see. Personally i like him better than Liriano, who is consistently inconsistent, and fails to provide innings.
