Logic fail.
His best and ballziest relief performance in the postseason by far was the 6 innings in WS Game 3.
He wouldn't have been able to do that if he wasn't a STARTER.
It's unfathomable to me how anyone who has followed baseball a long time doesn't get the value of a JBJ in spite of the batting average.
It's all about the concept of having a balanced team. The Sox epitomized that last year.
JBJ actually had a big game on O last night. His single in the 9th off a hard throwing lefty started the game winning rally, and his walk in the second also led to a run.
But they won 90 games last year. They have the lowest ERA in the majors and they seem to be very well managed. I agree with moonslav, they're a force to be reckoned with this year.
