    Watch out, we got a lawyer over here.

    I already have my degree, so yes on everything else.

    Yet you feel compelled to call out others on this same thing without knowing their motives.

    I'm sure the bucs have enough ballwashers but not enough whiny little bitches, so Fred should cover that area all by himself.

    You may as well have named names

    Fred, what the hell are you talking about? Have you seen the bloated Mets, Angels and Dodgers payrolls only to produce teams that didn't make the playoffs? The question hadn't been answered because it's asinine, just like the post you just made. Stop blabbing nonsense.

    Are You Still Seriously Blowing The Papelbon Whistle? @ Dojji

    Name one ownership that, regardless of the risk, has not made "a lot of mistakes" the past few seasons.

    As well as out-of-favor CF Drew Stubbs, and the signing of Brett "Wifebeater" Myers for the rotation. But i was pretty sure they made a separate deal where they got a pitching prospect or two, but i guess i was wrong.

    Isn't that why they traded away their RF for a haul of pitching prospects ready to help and dropped 56 mil on Swisher?

    What do you mean by "many GM's in baseball"? The idea that he's a product of Yankee stadium has not been mentioned by any GM of a team that was interested in Swisher. That's pure fabrication on your part.
  14. User Name
    The numbers are there. He hit as well on the road as he did in New York during his tenure in NYC. You can argue that his lack of postseason success, poor defense and age came into play, but not that he's a product of Yankee stadium, because the numbers are clear as lake water.

    Or that they make a couple of other moves either before the season or in-season, which is not out of the realm of possibility.

    So for the season that hasn't started, the top three of the Red Sox rotation already have an ERA over 4? Goddamn that's a major accomplishment!
  17. User Name
    Yeah i don't understand how he jumped to that conclusion after looking at the numbers. Sometimes people want to find an argument where there isn't one.
  18. User Name
    Pretty damn good if he's in the back of your rotation.

    Actually he's talking about Swisher specifically, and he's right: Over the past three years, Swisher has an OPS of .848 at home and .841 away from NYS, and he's hit an identical 38 HR's at home and on the road, but actually hit more XBH away from home than at home. His lefty/righty splits at home and on the road are almost identical as well. The premise that Swisher is a product of NYS is dead wrong.

    The Rangers, Reds and Detroit all have had very good/great pitching staffs the last couple of years and they play in horrendous ballparks. The ballpark is less important than the ability of the pitcher IMO.

    There are plenty of examples of guys in the current era who've found success after being journeymen or having a rough period and credit their pitching coach with fixing their mechanics/teaching them a new pitch/ changing the way they attack hitters. Guys like Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Joel Pineiro, Kyle Lohse, Chris Carpenter (notice a trend for Dave Duncan?) among others are all guys who were heavily influenced at one point or another by the teachings of their pitching coach. I don't understand the inclination to try to dismiss the usefulness or acumen of people who do this for a living. A lot of fans are very knowledgeable about the game, but watching and experiencing it are different things. If pitching coaches were as useless as some believe them to be, they'd be out of a job.
  22. User Name
    Two words: Dave Duncan. Saying that pitching coaches do not have a profound effect on pitchers (specially the young ones) is a display of ignorance imo.
  23. User Name
    He doesn't seem to understand the notion that he can post his opinions with being a jerk and insulting other members of the board.
  24. User Name
    A lot of truth right here. People want to have their cake and eat it too, and it doesn't work that way. The red sox won't return to prominence by blocking their young talent with overpriced and long contracts for mediocre or aging talent.
  25. User Name
    This. Long contracts and overpaying mediocre talent is what got this team in this mess in the first place. Einstein's definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different outcome. The Red Sox needed to go in a different direction.
