    I said "Red Sox fans" not "TalkSox Red Sox fans". Please stop putting words in my mouth. It seems someone likes to hear himself speak all right....

    Red Sox fans: "What is Ben the Boob doing? This team needs to build bullpen depth after how thin they looked in the playoffs!" Ben gets a solid, cheap relief arm. Red Sox fans: "What is Ben the Boob doing? That guy sucks, who cares that he's well liked and has good peripherals, go after the expensive guys that f*** up chemistry!"

    Choo is not a CF, and he's a hell of a lot better offensively than Jacoby. That said, Jacoby is younger and his defense in a premium position tips the scales in his favor if we're talking similar money.

    What does that have to do with the discussion Palodios and i were having? You're always talking about how i'm always arguing for the sake of arguing, but taking a part of a different discussion out of context is an example of exactly that. My point wasn't that Lackey didn't contribute to the title (he obviously did) my point is that the Sox made a mistake at the time of the signing, since many suspected he had elbow issues and he was headed to TJS (Gammons mentioned this way before the signing) and they were right. It cost him essentially three years in which he gave the Red Sox little to no value. This is a fact.

    Dojji will use anything as ammo in his anti-Bradley campaign.

    They "show interest" in everyone with a pulse.

    Not good defensively either.

    ....but that was kind of my initial point in the Texas post. They saw the warning signs with both Hamilton and Wilson, and were right in both cases, even though Hamilton is a position player and not a pitcher. They came pretty close to signing the "perfect pitcher" with Darvish however.

    The possibility of Choo signing to 5/90 is pretty close to zero unless he really wants to play for the Sox. Too many offense-starved teams with too much money and the desire to make an impact.

    Well said.

    Franklin Gutierrez/Reed Johnsonn/ Rajai Davis are all still FA's.

    Because of what you posted above, Lackey is the opposite of a good example. His peripherals and stuff had been diminishing for a couple of seasons, and those who criticized the signing because of it were right, since there was an underlying injury to blame for these problems. Lackey provided very little in his first two years, and even with last year's surge, it's very difficult to call the contract a success so far.

    Yeah, and i still believe so, which is why i didn't say i thought he was a good acquisition. I was providing my rationale as for why they let go of the other two. Let's stick to what i'm actually saying. As for CJ Wilson: His K/9 has declined, while his BB/9, WHIP have increased, and WAR has declined from his Texas days. Considering he's now pitching half his games in a much more forgiving stadium, do you not think his ERA and IP would have also significantly suffered had he stayed in Rangers Ballpark for around half his starts?

    Good post. And weren't they working Hassan out at 1B last year?

    Hoji? But anyways, a good closer is an important part of a championship club, but not one of the main parts (he's just part of one of the main parts, which is a good BP) and they are definitely volatile and replaceable.

    Look at the performances. Wilson's stuff and peripherals have declined significantly, and would probably be getting hammered if he was still with the Rangers. They predicted Hamilton was essentially "done" after his horrific second-half slump his last year with Texas, and he sucked balls with the Angels last year.

    Isn't that the whole point of my post? What exactly are you trying to imply here then?
  18. User Name
    Definitely a better idea than whining about insignificant s*** in the middle of Novermber. True that.

    He was also the best closer in baseball in 2006, and look where that got the Sox.....

    You know what you're talking about my good friend. You know what you're talking about.

    My reading comprehension is just fine. Your writing, on the other hand, could use some work. Also, can you at least have the common courtesy to come up with your own catchphrase?

    Fred, you are, in your infinite wisdom, also the living embodiment of irony. My problem with your above assessment is that i have said Beltran doesn't make sense as an OF. I would like to see him tried out as a 1B, but only if Napoli and Hart sign elsewhere. If they sign Napoli and then Beltran to play LF, i will be rightly pissed, just like i was on the Dempster and Victorino signings (how wrong i was) and you conveniently forget.

    Also, on the closers note, Braden Looper gave up 4 ER in 3.2 IP as the Marlins' closer during the 2003 World Series. Does he count?

    I don't need a chill pill. You just need to start making some sense and thinking before you post. LOL
