    I doubt it, since they have many higher talent pieces on the verge of making contributions. He will not be a starter long term with this organization because of this, and through no fault of their own.
  2. User Name
    mark, we are operating under the assumption that he is posted. Under the proposed system, unless he cannot come to an agreement with one of the bidding clubs, he is as good as gone.
  3. User Name
    But then he will go to the team who negotiates the highest contract. So there is a highest bidder.

    No it won't be. This is a really silly argument. Not all of them will be part of the rotation (Britton, Workman) and the rest will get their chance. I don't think you fully grasp how much of an anomaly the good health of the 2013 rotation was.

    You can platoon Bradley with a decent RHH. You can't platoon Workman in the rotation when someone goes down (and they will). Every time he or some other young guy bombs, it's an auto-loss.

    There really isn't. You are greatly overvaluing the depth of the starting pitching, and contradicting your own opinion from less than two weeks ago. Buchholz is fragile, Doubront is inconsistent, Peavy is fragile, Lackey probably over-performed and Dempster tired out as the season wore on. Major league quality depth is important, and counting on Workman (who proved he could pitch out of the BP which is a whole different animal than the rotation, but you already know this) and a bunch of young pitchers with so many question marks in the rotation is a recipe for disaster. They should probably keep their depth intact, but if they will get rid of someone, it should be Dempster for salary relief.

    I don't get why it's so hard to understand the importance of having reliable arms in the rotation. Has 2011 and 2012 taught people nothing?
  8. User Name
    Yeah, but unlike Dempster, he can actually get people out consistently. Let's introduce the talented young arms slowly while keeping the guys who can help us get to the playoffs in the rotation.

    I don't understand the desire to trade Peavy when he's a much better pitcher than Dempster. I don't understand how you can defend Dempster and turn around and lobby to trade Peavy, who's a much better pitcher. You don't weaken the pitching to add a guy who probably isn't much of an upgrade over JBJ.

    Not really because the Sox had a lot of talent in their roster and the minors, also the only similar situation was LL's meddling. If the Mariners are really in the situation described in the piece (which i'm sure has its share of hyperbole, but still) then that's a real mess.
  11. User Name
    So the Mariners are apparently a clusterf*** of an organization per Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times. Good luck Robinson.

    .818 OPS vs lefties last three years, including an .857 mark in 2013.

    What does this even mean? Even worse, what are you talking about? He's given up 25+ homers four years in a row while pitching in stadiums that suppress HR production. What happens when you take the guy to a stadium that greatly enhances it?
  14. User Name
    What does respect have to do with production? This isn't a shot at Ellsbury because Cano has always been a more productive player than he is. You need to take that Ellsbury wool off your eyes.

    Infante doesn't make sense for the Sox.
  16. User Name
    Essentially every player in the league (with notable exceptions) has much better power numbers at home than on the road, including some guys that play in notorious pitcher's parks. a700 is arguing for the sake of arguing here.
  17. User Name
    Santana's main problem is giving up homers in bunches, especially to lefties, and you wanna bring him to NYS? Lol plz do.
  18. User Name
    So because it's two years at 16 million, for a total value of 32 million, instead of the 3/45 projected (and someone offered a third year per reports), isn't the 13 million saved on a potential third year a discount?
  19. User Name
    Keep Peavy, he's the Sox' third best pitcher all things considered.
  20. User Name
    FYI, exercising Lackey's option won't affect his AAV, per reports from a couple weeks ago.
  21. User Name
    I nearly got burned at the stake for suggesting Davis earlier in the off-season. Morse can't play anything other than LF, Francoeur can't hit anyone. Ditto for Crowe. Andres Torres is not a FA i believe. Gutierrez and Baker i both like.

    Everybody wanted Napoli signed, including SFF, who was his biggest detractor because of the K's. The reason people called you out is because you wouldn't shut up about it. No offense.

    mark is the independent millionaire. I'm just bored.
  24. User Name
    ....but we're getting one too. And a RH compliment is just a minor piece. Nice try with your "time to be a downer" post Jacko.

    Fred's heart medication dosage immediately cut in half. Ditto for my headache medication. Win/win.
