Part of my thinking is that I feel more of a sense of urgency with Pomeranz, because he's only under control for 2 years. (Wright is under control for 4 years.) If Pomeranz is shuffled between rotation and bullpen throughout 2017 then we go into 2018, his final year of control, not really knowing what he's capable of as a starter. I see your points, believe me. This is just my personal take on one of the few baseball things we have to talk about.
-
What I'm really trying to say is that Pomeranz is still more of an X factor and it would be nice to find out sooner rather than later if he can be a solid starter in the AL East or not.
-
I'd like to see Pomeranz in the opening day rotation to see what he's got, basically.
-
moonslav's answer was right according to Baseball-Reference.
-
Yeah, no clue why he'd say that. GM's are funny dudes sometimes.
-
And anyone with more than two functioning brain cells knows Steven Wright is not an athlete.

Like baseball, in other words. You can be a blob and make 100 million playing baseball.

Get serious. Any sport can be torn down if you try. What's baseball? A guy throws a ball, another guy hits it, another guy catches it. There's some running around. But most of the time the players are just standing there.

We need more female posters.

Golf is a very difficult game for the average person. I speak from experience. Unless you've played yourself you have no idea how good the pros are. They are consistently shooting in the 60's on courses that are vastly longer and tougher than the courses most average players play on. It's a game that can be played from the time you're young until you're old. You can drink while you're playing on a lot of courses. And as Spud mentioned earlier, there are hot chicks too.

I'm more into Dating Naked.

It's a great sport.

Poor us. Guess I'm lucky I'm also a golf fan. It's a sport that virtually never shuts down.

I'm having my coffee with Hazelnut-flavored liquid Coffemate. I'm kind of hooked on this crap now.

You tricked me, I thought you were going to propose a trade for Abreu.

To me it's clear that the team was extremely disappointed, probably even disgusted, with the way he showed up last year. Here's a guy they're paying 19 million a year for 4 more years, and they've got him fighting it out with an untested guy with mediocre minor league numbers.
-
The way he looked last spring certainly concerned the Sox FO. They made it clear pretty early that he was competing with Shaw for the job.
-
Was it really a weak point? How did our pen stack up against the rest of the league?
-
LOL...the original Expos. They also had a player named Charles 'Boots' Day. He was only ever called Boots Day and that how he's listed in Baseball-Reference.
-
Good one.
-
Kimbrel had an off-season for sure. Welcome to Boston-itis? Seems to be a lot of that with pitchers. From 2011 to 2014 he was probably the best in the game. Can't really fault DD for targeting him...the cost is another matter.
-
No question about that. Their acquisition costs reflected a hefty Domestic Incident Discount.
-
Is it really just fans who love closers? Theo Epstein was certainly willing to pay a hefty price for a rental of Chapman.

I went back and re-read the Bill James article a couple of times. In my opinion, James is not actually saying the hot hand doesn't exist. He certainly doesn't say those exact words. In my opinion what he's saying is that it's largely an illusion. That I can certainly live with.

Things that happen 1% to 5% of the time do exist.
