  1. That's going to get paid almost like a #1, has never pitched 200 innings and only posted an ERA+ above 110 once over a full season.
  2. Shaun Marcum, Edwin Jackson. Also rjortiz, what is it with that boner you have for Sanchez? He's not that good.
  3. ....but still be short on pitching, and probably regret at least two of those three signings in the long term, with Sanchez being almost certainly one of the busts.
  4. How 'bout no on Dempster?
  5. The problem is that Porcello simply isn't very good.
  6. So the answer to stupid spending, instead of spending restraint, is more stupid spending? You know what, i'm just going to log off now.
  7. What does that have to do with anything? The Bailey-for-Reddick trade has no bearing on the Madson signing. It's an apples to spaceships comparison. The point is that he just had TJS, and while he may be a worthwhile risk for the Angels, why would it be for the Red Sox and their roster full of holes?
  8. They're already shopping their former closer, Jordan Walden, according to MLBTR, meaning they are actually guaranteeing the closer's spot to Madson. This seems like a recipe for failure on the Angels' part to me.
  9. I'm flabbergasted. This is coming from the guy who has been on an anti post-op pitcher crusade ever since i joined this site. Wow.
  10. And Madson would probably be yet another one if he suffers just one setback coming back from TJ.
  11. LL publicly admitted his lobbying for the Crawford signing in more than one occasion.
  12. I wouldn't if he wasn't just coming off of TJ surgery. It's not a lot of money, but it's a waste of money.
  13. But do you want the Red Sox gambling 3.5 million on a post-op relief pitcher with all of the needs they have?
  14. Bonehead Theo? I'd bet my left nut Crawford is a Lucchino signing. You've been a Sox fan for a long time. Long enough, in fact, to know Carl Crawford goes against everything Theo Epstein ever stood for in regards to a ballplayer.
  15. Are you for real? The last thing the Red Sox need is more post-op pitchers.
  16. Which is a ridiculous thing to say because no one here knows Cherington personally. On the other hand, do we even know if he has any power?
  17. This s***'s golden MVP haha.
  18. What in the world are you talking about? You're making no goddamn sense. Again, do you know what cherry picking means?
  19. Actually i don't, because i focus on comprehending both what i read and what i write. I suggest you try the same lest you resort to semi-illegible cop-outs like this one.
  20. Cherry pick what? Justify what? You need to learn to comprehend what you read. Trying to find an explanation as to why he sucked is not the same as trying to justify that he didn't suck. Again, i don't think you know what "cherry picking" means applied to this instance. I haven't even emitted a specific opinion on the subject. I theorized that it could be a mental problem, but where did i say i knew it was or how to fix it? Read my posts for what they are and not for what you think they are.
  21. Do you actually know what "cherry picking" in this instance means? I don't think you do. People look at splits because they are indicative of performance disparities. No one's trying to argue that he didn't suck last year, they (me included) are trying to explain why he sucked and if it's fixable. If it is then trading him away makes no sense with the poor state their pitching is already in.
  22. Them's fightin' words.
  23. 3.20 ERA with a 1.15 WHIP pitching away from Fenway last year. Fastball velocity is still there. There's a lot of evidence that helps conclude that the problem is all in his head.
  24. I just don't understand how 15 million a year for Sanchez can be justified. Just because they have money doesn't mean they should throw it around like drunken sailors in a whorehouse.
