They may not have done their due diligence on Masterson very well. He had a significant loss of velocity.
-
It was a good plan spoiled by some bad moves, perhaps.
-
Amazingly enough, the major share of the WAR on the 2016 team came from players acquired by Theo.

She makes me beg for my treats, every time.
-
Well, she won't always take me out for a walk when I want. Messages have to delivered.

I don't know where you get the idea that Ben had a "5 year plan". Are there any quotes about this? The simple explanation for why Ben got canned is the back-to-back last place finishes. But there may have been other stuff going on that we don't know about. There may have been 'philosophical differences' between JH and Ben. There may have been specific moves Ben made that JH disagreed with. For example, maybe it was Ben who sold the front office that Hanley would be just fine in left field. Like I say there's a lot we don't know about.

The only explanation is that they were hoping for the 2013 Masterson and hoping the 2014 version was injured. But if he was injured in 2014 he was still injured in 2015. It was a bad signing to be sure.

I don't think I've ever seen a real doghouse - not for a long time, anyway. But like most married guys I know what it's like to spend some time in the figurative one.
-
I agree totally.
-
Either way, the word 'doghouse' is fun to use. Makes me think of spring too.
-
4 IP 0 ER is a pretty unusual line for a starter. It suggests either the first start of the season, a spot start, a crazy pitch count or an injury.

Jack Flap was being sarcastic a ways back.
-
I was with ya all the way, JF. The only good thing on the old Sawxheads site was the policy that sarcastic comments were supposed to be in green.

I lived with those 1975-1978 teams too, and they were great teams, the most star-studded of all the Sox teams I've seen for sure. But they were tragic. And the loss in the 1978 playoff game was the end of the dream.
-
The Henry management group is a gift from God compared to that one.
-
His fielding numbers look pretty solid to me. A career UZR/150 of 5.3 (9.2 in 2016).
-
That was the way I saw it as well.
-
In olden times before the internet, most of us wouldn't know or give a s*** that transactions like this took place.
-
I'm shocked by this post. Shocked I tell ya!
-
There's the first of our scrap heap signings.
-
I was just joking around with Slasher, of course.
-
Porcello has been a postseason bust too. Put 'em both there.
-
Or you could start him with a very short leash.
-
Price wasn't terrible in that game but you can't really fault Gibbons for leaving him in. Price was at 66 pitches through 6 innings. In the 7th he gave up: Single Single Single Groundout Single Strikeout Double (on the 8th pitch of the at-bat) He was at 88 pitches before the double and he finished at 96 pitches. Certainly Gibbons could have removed him earlier but it wasn't a clearcut decision either way.
-
Josh Beckett and Rick Porcello also fell well below expectations their first year in Boston. To a lesser degree, so did Kimbrel. It does seem to be a major adjustment for many pitchers.
