    You can do all the head-to-head comparisons you want, but it's the X factors that will probably decide it. Red Sox X factors: How big of a boost will we see from the following factors? -JDM -More aggressive approach -Return to form from Betts and Bogaerts How healthy will David Price be? How well will our 'bridge to Kimbrel' hold up with Smith, Kelly, Barnes, Workman, Thornburg (?) et al?

    There's also Jake Peavy. I would go with Buchholz and Peavy, for old times' sake.

    As you know, last year we might have signed EE if it wasn't for the mandate to reset the tax rate.

    That play by Manny was one of the best of all time. I had completely forgotten that it was Kevin Millar that hit that ball.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Exactly. GM's do not have crystal balls.
  6. Bellhorn04
    I don't see how. That was over 3 years ago.

    I'm hoping for a good year for Rick. But I think even he would tell you that 2 out of his 3 seasons with us have been disappointing ones. His durability is certainly a big plus though.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Might be even better if he used his middle name - Casey.

    Some new additions: White Sox prospect-unfortunately out for the season: Jake Burger Pitching for Pittsburgh today: Damien Magnifico
  10. Bellhorn04
    Look again.

    Hanley has been hitting 3rd.

    I'd be quite happy if Porcello gives us another 195 innings, with an ERA of 4.25 or less.
  13. Bellhorn04
    I don't think so. 42 wins, 36 losses, 16 no-decisions.
  14. Bellhorn04
    I think the starting pitching will likely be the deciding factor over 162 games.
  15. Bellhorn04
    With a pitcher like Porcello, Quality Starts and Quality Start % would be a meaningful stat, I think.
  16. Bellhorn04
    You might say when it came to hitting, Ted Williams had a powerful computer in his head.

    There is no other sport as conducive to superstition as baseball. It's a beautiful game; it's also a weird and freaky game, and that's part of its appeal.
  18. Bellhorn04
    All things considered we were a bit lucky there were no other bidders. At the start of the offseason I figured JD would probably get the 6/150 that MLBTR predicted.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Ask harmony. And while you're at it, remind him that he lost his bet. He took the field against the Red Sox.
  20. Bellhorn04
    I have a lot of respect for the advanced metrics. But Porcello's 2017 fWAR of 2.0 really seems bogus. His 2017 bWAR was minus .2, which would give him a dollar value of...he owes us some money back.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Full marks for this.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Some of a catcher's value doesn't show up on the stat sheet though.
  23. Bellhorn04
    That's pure speculation as far as Nunez is concerned, of course.
  24. Bellhorn04
    I think part of the benefit of Betts leading off is his speed, too. But yes, this stuff about the lineup can all get a bit muddled, that's for sure.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Batting 2nd supposedly yields the optimum combination of plate appearances and RBI opportunities.
