    Jeter's WAR always held up. I wasn't a big fan of him personally of course, but his WAR speaks for his value.
  2. Bellhorn04
    There's a reason WAR has become a very popular measuring tool. It takes defense into account too. JBJ's WAR has been acceptable to good 4 straight years from 2015 to 2018.
  3. Bellhorn04
    WAR says no. Chavis already has a 1.0 bWAR.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Seems to me his preference is to trade prospects who haven't yet proven they can play at this level.
  5. Bellhorn04
    If he doesn't, Cora will sit him down more. But he will.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Just wait for JBJ to heat up.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Not a chance.
  8. Bellhorn04
    You're not explaining why they're so different. The issue with both is that they're off to horrible starts with the bat, isn't it?
  9. Bellhorn04
    You are pretty reasonable, Denny.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Good point about the warming up part, which sometimes gets overlooked.
  11. Bellhorn04
    So what's the earliest you would use your best reliever in a regular season game, say in May?
  12. Bellhorn04
    Pearce seems plenty expendable right now. But history suggests he will improve his numbers, just as Bradley will, and that it would be pretty stupid to cut loose every hitter who gets off to a terrible start.
  13. Bellhorn04
    That's true. But the flip side also happens. Fans pointing out former Red Sox players who are doing well, and complaining about them being let go instead of Player X who was kept instead. Sports fans are miserable, hateful pricks, generally speaking.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Anyone who wants to get rid of JBJ must also want to get rid of Pearce, whose numbers are even worse.
  15. Bellhorn04
    So you're saying, apparently, that there are only a few good bullpens, and those few good ones are the ones with the guys making all the money.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Most are not. You just said so yourself.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Denny, if most bullpens stink, that means most relief pitchers stink. In which case there's not much point spending on them, is there?
  18. Bellhorn04
    What about it? It's not like a bunch of other AL teams radically improved.
  19. Bellhorn04
    He'll come around.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Are you even serious?
  21. Bellhorn04
    One thing's for sure, if JBJ doesn't play his OPS has no chance to rise.
  22. Bellhorn04
    His career winning percentage is .565 and his WHIP is 1.298, you moron.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Plus the fact that we should look at a player's career numbers a bit in our judgments, not just this season's first 107 plate appearances.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Yes, I certainly don't think the Red Sox are a sub-.500 team talent-wise. It's virtually the same team that won 119 games last year. And so far, knock on wood, it's a relatively healthy team.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I'll try this. I would say the chances of failing are obviously much higher in the first case. But there might actually be no more 'pressure' because you've been brought into an obviously tough situation and left with someone else's mess. In the second situation, on paper it's relatively easy, but the other team might well use one or two pinch-hitters. And if you allow a man on base you will be facing the top of the order. Also, how does the fact that the batting order doesn't matter that much, statistically speaking, factor into this?
