    I like Padilla. He can still throw hard, and that eephus could be a good pitch if used correctly. His only real problem is batshit insanity.

    Colon got some "outside help" though, and the Yankees were probably aware of this.

    Not cherry picking at all, but rather context-correct. You just can't admit you're wrong. We all know the NL is a softer league than the AL, and a lot of the teams ahead of the Sox are NL teams that play in big parks. The Red Sox' relief corps 86 tOPS+ indicates they were very much above MLB average, and that's a neutral statistic.

    4th in the AL, which is their league. Not middle of the pack, but rather top-5, which is great.

    Had the Sox signed Madson and he'd gotten injured, i bet he'd be railing on the Sox for not "doing due diligence anyway". Dude's absolutely ridiculous.

    Valentine announced it. It's in the MLB.com website.

    3.57 ERA as a whole is very good. September was not discounted.

    Today's lineup: Ellsbury Pedroia Gonzales Youkilis Ortiz Ross Salty Sweeney Aviles It's also the one i'd like to see used regularly.

    That being exactly the mindset that's kept them s***** all these years. It's not about having a few "stars" to keep the dough rolling in. If they really want to turn the Cubs into a contender they need to rebuild from scratch and turn that organization around bottom-to-top.

    Hindsight is 20/20. They had a full, solid rotation and depth in Aceves/Wakefield/Miller. No one could have predicted Lackey would turn into the worst starter in recent history, and Daisuke and Buchholz would be lost for the year. It's easy to look back and point fingers, although that accomplishes nothing.

    And Ellsbury in 2010.

    Bard's potential in the rotation is higher than Aceves', and Aceves is more valuable in the bullpen due to the fact that he's not only effective, but he's capable of throwing multiple innings, so no, Bard back to the pen is not the best thing the Sox could do.

    This makes no sense. He was hired in Chicago to re-build from scratch, so it was obvious from the beginning he wasn't going to be spending. Also, Larry Lucchino has admitted to having strong influence in the signings of Lackey and Crawford. This is not anyone speculating....it came right out of the horse's mouth. The train of thought should go A------>B, not A------>F----->Z.

    iortiz, i proposed a trade and would like to further negotiations along if you're interested.

    The improvement maintains itself "in the long run" because if the supervision stops, then some of the initial productivity acquired is lost. When you mention TQM you talk about long-term sustained increase, not an initial increase that is sustained on the long-term. This is proved by the effect itself. The gains from a TQM approach should be separated from the gains acquired from the supervision of the employees. TQM focuses on the customer and his expectations, what the Hawthorne effect concentrates in is employee effectiveness. They are not mutually exclusive, but not necessarily intertwined.

    Ross strikes again (actually twice).

    Bard has been absolutely overpowering today.

    Because this is a baseball site and political threads usually turn into flaming shitstorms. The administrator here is completely against them iirc.

    Choo should bounce back and guys like Brantley and LaPorta should be fun to watch.

    And it worked! Go figure!

    Healthy top three plus a league-average Doubront (we're assuming here) is not a "semblance" of a rotation? If the top three f*** up, neither Aceves nor anyone is saving us either way. Also, i couldn't disagree more with the idea of sending Bard down. He has nothing left to prove in the Minors. If he's going to be converted, it should be as a #5 in the Majors.
