    Frankly it's still way too early to get excited. The Yankees still represent a formidable threat to us winning the division, especially if they add major pieces before the deadline.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Beckett was 1 and 1 in that series.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Yes, if you were going to use one day that would be silly. But if you looked at a guy's splits and he was bad every April it might be fair to conclude that he's a slow starter. And if you looked at Chris Sale's splits...well you know where that's going.
  4. Bellhorn04
    But I don't really see the foundation to this argument. I don't think the fact that a sample is spread out necessarily diminishes its value.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Absolutely, and Theo has likely made some bad moves with the Cubs as well. You just need the bad to be clearly outweighed by the good...
  6. Bellhorn04
    And for extra points there's that rising from the ashes thing.
  7. Bellhorn04
    This is it. The Dodger trade freed up a lot of money again, but then most of the money was wasted again.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Sure, but if they make up your whole starting rotation, the short-term results might not be pretty, and they weren't that year.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Dombrowski may have overpaid for Kimbrel. But look at what Ben went through in pursuit of a closer. Bailey, Hanrahan, Melancon...that was a lot of hard work and transactions and some money gone before finally something went right and Koji took over in mid-2013.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Another example of a guy with wild variances in his numbers. Ben loved guys like that, I swear. He was kind of a riverboat gambler in his own way.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Personally it made me shudder.
  12. Bellhorn04
    No, just a large one.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Another question is how long it would take for Sale to cut up Colon's uniform.
  14. Bellhorn04
    I didn't really start to seriously doubt Ben until I realized that we were going into 2015 with Porcello, Buch, Kelly, Miley and Masterson as the starting five.
  15. Bellhorn04
    I'll drink to this.
  16. Bellhorn04
    What were the Red Sox projections for 2013 BTW?
  17. Bellhorn04
    Ben must have been about the flukiest GM ever though.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I really don't think I've ever said anything close to this.
  19. Bellhorn04
    If it's that simple, the team that won under Ben was compliments of Theo. And the teams that won under Theo were compliments of Duquette. No, I don't think that's quite fair.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Showcase!
  21. Bellhorn04
    That covers it. At a glance there were also some others who ended their careers with over 20 bWAR: Scott, Torrez, Spaceman, Stanley.
  22. Bellhorn04
    But most of the money is already down the tube.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Yep, 40+ lucky World Series appearances.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Well, I'm a numbers guy. Show me some numbers that support your position about how bad the pitching is now. Because I certainly can't find them.
  25. Bellhorn04
    The 1978 team was arguably the best Red Sox team ever roster-wise. Hall of Famers and near-Hall of Famers coming out of its ears.
