  1. Pirates fans as a legitimate source of scouting information? Are ya serious?
  2. All of them are going to get injured. Didn't you know? We'll have a rotation of Padilla, Cook, Ohlendorf, Silva and Doubront. I know because Muggah said so.
  3. You keep making the assumption that everyone will get injured. It corresponds with most of the frankly dumb notions you have and use to criticize everything, and everyone, all the time. I may bite one of my fingers off from emotion when you actually write up a good, objective post instead of the usual crapfest. This describes you perfectly by the way. Only instead of "not thinking" insert "immediately bitch about everything as much as possible". Be objective, and try thinking, as you tell me.
  4. A "real deal #4" is a guy who can provide innings, so i agree. Did you see however the posts about #5 starters' production? To think that either Bard or Aceves could provide above league average #5 production is unreasonable.
  5. Good luck with that, for i am Richard Nixon.
  6. It's more about a steady #4 spot than the #5 spot. In my opinion.
  7. Brb, need to get some popcorn.
  8. Funny, because the average ERA of MLB #5 starters is probably not very far from that number. What is acceptable? A #5 that pitches like a #3?
  9. Can i get the name of the place where you bought your crystal ball? I want to predict the future too.
  10. Selective memory at its best. The 2006 Red Sox team had Beckett, Schilling, Clement, Wakefield and Wells as its front five with Lester and the others as depth. Let's not make stuff up.
  11. Ohlendorf is horrible. No redeeming qualities whatsoever. An abnormaly high BABIP (.372) is to be expected when you're allowing line drives (22%) like it's going out of style and Homers (2.04/9) like it's what they're paying you to do. Good enough for the AAA rotation maybe.
  12. You're wasting your time.
  13. The concept of "depth" is not that difficult to understand. If a pitcher is good enough to start games on an MLB team, he's on the starting rotation of an MLB team. Depth constitutes guys who can't make the cut, are recovering from injury, young unproven pitchers or guys who can't pitch a full season. Those who expect able and healthy pitchers to become "pitching depth" need to get a grasp on their expectations.
  14. What is your problem with Salty? Dear Lord. Would you rather have the titanic bat of Kurt Suzuki in the lineup? He's not that good but he doesn't suck. Besides, he's just keeping the seat warm for Lavarnway or Exposito anyways.
  15. That's what Valentine was hired to do.
  16. Fred, although i agree with your points (mainly about hope of improvement for Salty) the discussion is not about Varitek. You're going to reverse-lock him into coming in to ST!
  17. Yet as evidenced by his gaudy BB numbers with men on base, pitchers are just as reluctant to pitch to Youk as to Ortiz in those situations. I know he has a patient approach, but it's clear that pitchers don't want to deal with Youkilis in pressure situations. Besides, Ortiz' days of 50 HR's are long gone. Pitchers don't live in the past, and neither should we. Ortiz is what he is now.
