    Kemp is too good an athlete to waste away at 1B. Besides, that would seriously hamper his value.
  2. User Name
    You're wrong. He said that right after he declined the QO.
  3. User Name
    That's another thing i have never said. I've said that Napoli's in a holding pattern because he's waiting for the best offer, which Napoli has said himself. Fred, do you see a trend here?
  4. User Name
    I don't "concede" that the number one option is Napoli, because i have never, ever said otherwise. It's common sense.
  5. User Name
    Fred also doesn't seem to know how to read. He doesn't seem to know what "if there aren't better options" means. He needs to take a reading comprehension course.
  6. User Name
    Unless they can work out the posting system issues, no one is getting Tanaka.

    If one of the main reasons why people don't want the Sox to spend big money on Jacoby Ellsbury is his problematic injury history, why would it be a good idea to spend big money AND prospects for a guy with a worse injury history? Riddle me that.

    Evan Grant says 5/90. Holy s***.
  9. User Name
    Fred, do you read? I said, and have said, "if there are no better options available". For a guy who says he was a teacher for a long time, you sure have awful reading comprehension. Options 1 and 2 have always been Napoli and Hart, who are the best fits. Please stop.

    Rosenthal just said deal is not close, but they are working.
  11. User Name
    They'll wait until the new deal doesn't affect 2014 payroll.
  12. User Name
    No. I view the contract as unsuccessful so far with the possibility of going either way depending on what happens in the last two years.
  13. User Name
    It was, because unlike most of your "gems" if there's a lack of other options, that would actually make sense. Lesser athletes have made the conversion to 1B. Suggesting Beltran couldn't is borderline retarded. However, look again at the "lack of better options part" which you keep conveniently ignoring. Please stop. Also, by your logic, the Barry Zito contract is a good one. Now there's a REAL GEM!!!!11!!!

    Where did i make that assumption? Are you reading what i'm posting? I said right now, it's a bad contract, but with two above average seasons, it breaks even, and two excellent ones, it becomes a decent or even good one. How did you turn that into me expecting he will suck?
  15. User Name
    No it didn't. It cost the Sox 16.5 million dollars. You can't simply make that assumption since he hasn't thrown a single pitch in the option year. He could miss all of it, or suck. That's not how it works.
  16. User Name
    You seem to conveniently forget that he missed an entire year in which the Sox still paid him 16.5 million. Do we not count it because it doesn't suit your argument? Lackey would need to pitch at least two above average seasons for the contract to break even, and two excellent seasons for the contract to even be considered decent. I'd argue that his 2013 is worth more, but his 2010/11 are worth less. It evens out.
  17. User Name
    The fact that there aren't any that are better doesn't mean we can't use this one with the understanding that it's not perfect, me thinks.
  18. User Name
    Every player in the Red Sox system is apparently better than i give them credit for, per your assessment. I'll keep that in mind. (This is meant to be a joke btw)
  19. User Name
    There's also the fact that, as i have mentioned before several times, Fangraphs' dollar formula is extremely lenient, and generally inflates dollar numbers.
  20. User Name
    Workman is no longer a prospect. Betts isn't that good.
  21. User Name
    The Sox would never get Kemp for Dempster + garbage prospects. You're dreaming.
  22. User Name
    So what's your point Pal?
  23. User Name
    Lackey's tenure with the Red Sox: 4 years @ 16.5 million per or 66 million paid so far for.... 564.1 IP (141 per season) of 4.67 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, 91 ERA+ baseball. The fact that he helped win a WS doesn't erase any of those other numbers. He's essentially been a worse value than Dempster, even with all of 2013 included. The numbers speak for themselves.
  24. User Name
    This is a very keen observation, and it's the main reason why a lot of these guys immediately go for the big payday.
  25. User Name
    Fred, did you read the context of the discussion? Go back and read all of it before you comment. Also, WS help or no WS help, the contract has mostly been a failure for the Red Sox. Why do you have to be completely illogical about everything?
