    Where the heck did you get these numbers? They must be someone else's. For one thing Holt only has 286 innings at SS.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Yes, I think Francona was talking about Crawford and maybe A-Gon.
  3. Bellhorn04
    I think you have to be pretty patient with a guy who now has an .899 OPS in spite of the issues with lefties.
  4. Bellhorn04
    It can't really be an A with the sanctions and the $73 million tossed on Castillo. B or B+.
  5. Bellhorn04
    The numbers suggest Holt is pretty close to average on defense overall.
  6. Bellhorn04
    B-R has an additional split which is kind of interesting. It shows the hitter's numbers for games started by a LH or RH pitcher. Meaning that it also includes any PA's against relievers of the other handedness in that game. In games started by a lefty this year Beni has an OPS of .756 - not great but not horrible. One could argue that this just means you don't bring him into those games unless there's an RH reliever. But it's not always such a simple matter to pinch hit as you please during a game.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Maybe. It would also make the 'coffee boy' comments ring a little truer. If Ben was being used like that he should have said something-borrowed Theo's gorilla suit or whatever. Not just skulked away.
  8. Bellhorn04
    I think Beni will hit lefties OK as the sample gets longer.
  9. Bellhorn04
    I don't think that's answer enough for Red Sox media and fans. They would insist on a little further explanation. Belichick might be able to get away with it.

    My 21-year old daughter is a big basketball fan and she has been convinced for years that some NBA games are fixed. So that's pretty sad.

    Let's assume the truth is that the vesting option played a major role in the move. Do you think the Sox should have said so?
  12. Bellhorn04
    There are some positive signs with the bat. I think he's going to be okay.
  13. Bellhorn04
    I get what you guys are saying, but the Rockets 3-point shooting doomed them as well. 7 for 44 overall, and an incredibly bad 1 for 21 in the second half. That is some epic bricklaying for one of the best teams in the NBA.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Forget it. Cliff is a permanent ban walking.
  15. Bellhorn04
    You'll find out on Larry's death bed, if then. The Sox FO has followed the practice of Omerta since Henry's group bought the team.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Cliff is Pike, 110% guaranteed. I think he even used a name similar to this one before.
  17. Bellhorn04
    But if it wasn't for the vesting option they probably would have hung onto him a while longer. The vesting option ends up hurting Hanley too. It's a lose-lose.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I don't really have a problem with the baseball system and all the guaranteed money, in spite of how much of it the Sox have had to eat. You pays your money and you takes your chances. If you make a bad choice or an unlucky one, it hurts you.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Pike!
  20. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, but you're on record that we'll be lucky to win 86 games, so you've got no credibility anyway.
  21. Bellhorn04
    The vesting option is clearly a non-guaranteed, contingent benefit.
  22. Bellhorn04
    No doubt that the vesting option had a lot to do with injury concerns. What wasn't foreseen was Hanley's precipitous decline in productivity to a negligible WAR over 3.33 years. It could EASILY be argued and supported by data that Hanley failed to earn the option because of his poor productivity (which may still be impacted by some lingering injury issues-who knows).
  23. Bellhorn04
    Um, is there something in a player's contract that guarantees they will play X number of games no matter badly they are performing? Is there a guarantee they won't be released before the contract term is up? If so, Pablo Sandoval should have been howling!!!
  24. Bellhorn04
    Hey, we're already having enough trouble finding anything definitive about the Sox being 'off the hook' as it is LOL
  25. Bellhorn04
    That's a good one, but I think the all-time Rodney joke is the 'second opinion' one. I never get tired of it.
