Well you're right of course, BABIP often just confirms what we already know, that there's no way the guy can keep it up. Leon is kind of an extreme example of it right now.
Blah blah blah
Wright's pinch-running adventure not only costs us at least one start from him, but it also meant that our one effective reliever tonight, Buchholz, could only throw a few pitches.
And nobody really knows for certain if any of JBJ's problems were a direct result of being 'rushed', or if he would have had the same learning curve regardless.
How can you possibly say otherwise. The most he will be paid in any one season is $16 million and that is only one year. For a guy who cranks out 4 WAR seasons it's a clearcut bargain.
It's a great story, but the recent ones didn't work out for long. Bo got injured, tragically. Neon and Ainge packed in baseball fairly quickly. Jordan and the others I don't know much about.
