  1. I don't think the team should start trading guys just because we're having a disappointing, frustrating season. I can see trading Porcello because his contract is expiring, that's about the only 'name' move I can see.
  2. My cursory internet research shows that Peter Abraham has reported DD's deal runs through 2020.
  3. The London games were all John Henry's doing.
  4. Confirmation of the obvious is not necessary. It's redundant, in fact, and thus a waste of time. (I'm just giving you a hard time. )
  5. No offense, but of what possible use is this information? We all know it's highly unlikely at this juncture. Numbers like 11% and 8.2% could hardly be more meaningless. 11% suggests that if we get to play the next half-season 9 times, one of those times we'll win it!
  6. Gotta agree. The Yankees have buried us for the division and we're looking at the Wild Card route.
  7. Sox needs: 1. Bullpen. 2. Bullpen. 3. Bullpen.
  8. Toronto has a lousy record and overall weak personnel, but they're trying every game, so they can be a real pain in the ass.
  9. Nothing wrong with that!
  10. I think Bill Belichick is a very smart guy and he's smart enough to know he would never want to be a baseball manager.
  11. LOL there's no need to bring Belichick into this. Every other team knows we have a shaky pen and what that means.
  12. Agreed. And this is all on Dombrowski.
  13. That was one of the worst regular season bullpen meltdowns in Red Sox history. Probably Top 5.
  14. Well, that did it for me. I will no longer defend Dombrowski's offseason work on the pen. It was negligent. dgalehouse was right. notin was right.
  15. I don't see any mystery in pulling Johnson. He was on the IL and has been used mostly in relief, so 83 pitches is actually quite a few.
  16. I know it's complicated, but I doubt they made that big of a mistake, going over by 2.5 million.
  17. I don't think very many fans worry about saving money for the owners. They worry about the front office not spending wisely because they know that hurts the quality of the team on the field.
  18. Wrong. They went over by about 2.5 million. Their final tax bill was about 11.95 million. First 20 million over @ 20% = 4 million Next 20 million over @ 32% = 6.4 million Last 2.5 million over @ 62.5% = 1.55 million
  19. The average batting average in both leagues is .250 as of today.
  20. What??? They won the World Series and it cost them an extra mill or two? Are you freaking serious?
  21. There is a pile of randomness in baseball. It's time for me to recite what Mike Mussina said again. Mussina said that out of 32 starts, he would have 8 where everything was working, 8 where nothing was working, and 16 where something was working.
  22. That may be a fair point. Of course what starters are asked to do, go 6-7 quality innings, is much different from what relievers are asked to do, so it's a bit of apples-oranges.
  23. His career OBP of .299 is not super-impressive. The last guy we lusted after because he could hit home runs in San Diego was A-Gon...
