  1. Or lack thereof, if it's precedent you're referring to.
  2. There is no different context, just an inconsistent, reactionary thought process. And it's "estupido". Estupido
  3. Johnny Peralta is also mentioned in the scandal, and is an All-Star reserve.
  4. Colon, Cano and Cruz are three of the biggest names mentioned in the initial reports, and they're all going.
  5. Webster will probably be converted to relief, and i think Aceves has a minor injury. But goddamn, Wright and Beato suck
  6. Price was not post-op, and he was fully stretched out. You're comparing apples to elephants here.
  7. Yeah, let's set back (and possibly hinder) the kid's future for 30 innings of relief pitching. That's exactly the kind of short-sighted thinking that brought about 2012. It's not all about "win now". The worst part about this line of thinking is that you can't even be sure he'd be an effective reliever right now.
  8. SoxSport: "The FO is too passive, and they're not doing their due diligence in regards to finding help in the relief corps, wake up Ben!" Nick Cafardo: "The FO is desperately looking for relief help. Par for the course.
  9. David Price, Johan Santana, Matt Moore, among many others agree with you.
  10. There is an inherent difference between starting and relieving. It's not just about the innings cap.If it was merely about the cap, he'd have been with the big club as a long reliever for a while now. There's just no reason to bring him up as a reliever for an extended period.
  11. Dojji, your argument is the definition of logical fallacy.
  12. Parnell has a career-low K/9 to go along with a minuscule .241 BABIP and zero homers allowed. However, his ERA is not significantly outperforming his FIP and xFIP, meaning his line is not as flukish as it seems. You have to wonder however, if he can get away with the low K rate and allowing no homers at Fenway park.
  13. De La Rosa is post-op and needs to be completely stretched out this season. I just don´t see the reason to bring him up as a reliever rest of season with so many healthy arms in the system.
  14. Personally, i´d like to see Ranaudo. RDLR should see his chance after he´s stretched out a bit further.
  15. SoxSport´s thought process has zero consistency. We´ve gone from: "the FO is stupid for getting guys out of their role, and ended up with the Bard debacle" to "f*** roles, this is a pennant race, the FO is stupid for not using guys where they are needed, regardless of whether they´re post-op and need to be stretched out". I think it´s not the FO who´s stupid here......
  16. What the hell is an ace anyway? It's very subjective. But i guess if it had a definition, it would be a "top 20 SP" imo.
  17. By definition, a #1 is an ace. What you're trying to say is that the Red Sox don't actually have a #1, or ace. If a pitcher is not an ace, then he's not a #1. Lackey may be an actual ace, and he sure is pitching like one, while being very durable ever since his biceps debacle. We'll see.
  18. So do we have an ace or don't we have an ace? Because you just said that we do and we don't in the same sentence. Unless you're saying that a #1 and an ace are not the same thing.
  19. ^POTY candidate
  20. Bad streak ends this week with my team fully healthy and most of my best pitchers having two-start weeks. You should be worried.
  21. Actually, i very much am.
  22. Minimal upgrades? Are those rose-colored glasses custom fitted?
  23. From rjortiz. That time you spent telling me to take a pill that you oh so badly need could have been spent reading. Take a midol and read plz.
  24. Yay, will use!
