So that Groundballs Inc. thing the Red Sox had planned for 2015 was just a really bad idea.
-
Sucks -
There's a name from my early nights of listening to Sox games on the radio. RIP
-
As long as he stays in the National League. :cool:
-
I don't really see the point of including Espinoza and Margot any more.

2016 Trade and Roster Move Speculation thread

Rest Papi half the time...now what the heck does that accomplish...especially as far as giving people something to cheer about. -
$12.5 million, Slash. And a bargain based on what number?
-
Agreed, but by the time he went on the DL it was July 29 (right about now) and he had an ERA of 5.81.
-
No, of course he doesn't. But doesn't the fact that Victorino had a 6.1 WAR and Papi had a 4.4 WAR bear out that defense/speed are big components of WAR? You said your concern was with offense being overvalued and defense being undervalued.
-
None
-
He's catching his share of s*** on here. And sure people are concerned. But a lot of people wrote off Porcello as a bust last year too.
-
But he sure sucked hard last year didn't he?
-
I think you've now officially caught the Talksox Heavy Sarcasm bug.
-
I like WAR a lot myself. And I know it's far from perfect. I like the fact that the #2 and #3 WAR guys on the 2013 Red Sox were Victorino and Ellsbury, ahead of Papi. That in itself shows the weight given to fielding and speed and the measurement of the complete game of the player
-
I think you're right that there are a lot of exceptions, and maybe we should take a closer look at a guy like Buehrle and what made him so effective over a long career. A slightly amusing side-note to this - remember the Sox big game plan for pitching going into the 2015 season? We were supposedly stacked with ground-ball pitchers. That was supposed to translate to great numbers, especially with all those low strikes being called!
-
Setting aside his monster paycheque for a moment, you can't argue with Price's attitude. He hasn't whined about anything, he hasn't blamed anyone but himself. He takes the ball every 5th day. He's a good candidate to turn things around.
-
I'm pretty cynical myself. I think Theo definitely has a good-sized ego and he wanted more power than Lucchino was prepared to give him. Kind of a Jimmy Johnson-Jerry Jones thing. I think Theo's real dream job was with the Red Sox - but with total autonomy over baseball operations.
-
But look at his regular season numbers with the Jays last year. When did he lose it?
-
O's lose, Jays lose, Yanks losing...can we get lucky and have a perfect 3-0 on the out of town scoreboard?
-
I guess the only other *possible* question is V-Mart's numbers vs. Ziegler.
-
Beckett, Porcello, Price, maybe even Kimbrel. The 'Welcome to Fenway' syndrome for pitchers.
-
Wow, I didn't know that. Cabrera should have been walked. This series was a bad one for Farrell without a doubt.
-
That'll go down some after today.
-
Coming into this game he had a 385/442/615 since the All-Star break.

What I mean is, after trading Espinoza, DD wants to hang onto our 2 other pitching prospects.
