  1. "Useful" is a very generous word.
  2. Dude, what's up with that boner you have for Salty? He sucks the big one.
  3. But does Napoli's .845 career OPS against righties really warrant a platoon partner? And he's moving to Fenway to boot.
  4. I personally don't agree, but i'm posting this for discussion:
  5. Excellent point. It makes a lot more sense if you apply that logic.
  6. I really think they can be a top 10 team next year (even better if they get another reliable arm for the rotation) but that may not be enough to get them into the playoffs. The AL is stacked.
  7. Debatable teams: Phillies: Weak back end of the rotation, offense and BP, even with Paps. Reds: Very lucky with their rotation last year. Weak defense. Orioles: That luck in one run games is an aberration. Dodgers: Lots of offensive talent with lots of health question marks and so-so pitching. Rays: Did away with Shields and offense still a question mark. The rest i agree with.
  8. Name 14 teams with a better roster than the Red Sox.
  9. Why Doubront? He has a higher upside than post-op Lackey.
  10. They've got elite pitching and defense, and a full season of Pence and Scutaro should propel them to league-average offensively. They're probably the best team in the league if Panda can stay healthy. I'm not convinced by Cincinnati because their rotation very much outperformed expectations last year.
  11. I'd dare say with that pitching, San Francisco has a juggernaut roster.
  12. They need to create more depth. Morales can take a couple of mid-season starts, but no more. I still think they should go after Marcum.
  13. He's not talking about talent, he's talking about money. And his retort about flexibility isn't applicable either, since MVP was talking about actual payroll figures, which is not even close to being the same thing as flexibility created through legitimate trades and/or salary dumps.
  14. Yes, i was asking you, because you mentioned Lackey's last full season. His last full season was 2010, and he put up 200+ IP and a 4.40 ERA. If you meant the atrocity that was his 2011 you should have worded it differently.
  15. Would you be upset if he gave 200 IP of 4.40 ERA?
  16. If they're over .500, they're close to competing for a playoff spot.
  17. Not if he's going to cost a pick imo.
  18. "Garbage" is putting it lightly. 4.88 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and not even a lot of IP. Miserable K rate to boot.
  19. My prediction: Everyone will fall short of OP's predictions, but they'll still defy expectations and finish with 90-ish wins.
  20. So Ortiz, he of the .900 + ops for both his career and the past three seasons, which is better than the league average ops for number three hitters, is not a true number thtee hitter?
  21. Another player that I don't get the fascination with. He's essentially got one full good season. He could be interesting but he's not that great and can't stay healthy.
  22. My errand is the same every day- to call you out on your whining, so I've got threat covered. On topic, they really do need another arm and some minor league depth and then they can call it an off season
  23. Haha you guys are on fire today!
  24. Signature worthy. So Fred, can we have some ranting posts filed with diatribes about the incompetence of the FO? Because it seems that not only did they get the player they wanted, but got him on their terms. Ben the genius?
