  1. Stuff like that is not really unusual, especially if you don't live in Boston.
  2. FWIW, one of SI's Jay Jaffe's 'bold predictions for second half' is: 'Red Sox will shore up rotation with Pomeranz and win the AL East going away'.
  3. I believe the player has to be on the 40-man roster to count toward tax. This was talked about a lot when Allen Craig was taken off the 40-man roster. http://www.overthemonster.com/2016/1/13/10759208/red-sox-allen-craig-offseason-trade-rumors
  4. You pinpointed exactly what they were looking for in Peavy - a solid #3. And that's exactly what he was in 2013.
  5. Looks like he was only talking about the luxury tax cap though.
  6. He's a kid and the Sox already won a ring for him.
  7. Peavy was 1.3 years of control though, so that commands a bit more. Also, Iggy has been proven to be no more than a mediocre player (an accumulated bWAR of 2.9 with Detroit.)
  8. He can't focus long enough to look for where it should go. He needs Ritalin.
  9. Hill shouldn't cost a big haul in prospects though.
  10. Well, they should be doing it then.
  11. I don't think they should be bundled together, it makes our debates even messier than they already are - if that's possible.
  12. The Donaldson trade was one of the all-time robberies.
  13. I've told you 10 million times not to exaggerate like that.
  14. I think Rich Hill might be a good get. The guy has actually pitched fantastically well since last September. Beane will be trading him somewhere, that's for sure.
  15. At this point Rich Hill is looking pretty good, with fingers crossed for health of course.
  16. The Jays made a pretty good run at it last year, taking the champs to 6 games and creating a lot of excitement for the fans. Don't count them out this year just yet either.
  17. OK I'll bite. Other than Carl Crawford, Epstein's record in negotiations was fine.
  18. No love for Eddie Stanky? http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/stanked01.shtml
  19. It's team dependent because a pitcher with a good defense behind him will have more runs saved than a pitcher with a bad defense. For example JBJ will run down more balls than an inferior CFer. This has nothing to do with errors. It has to do with fielding range. As for pitcher errors, ERA is meant to measure the pitcher's pitching, not his fielding. As for the luck part, well, you're probably disgusted enough already.
  20. And Buch will squash your hopes every time. He did it to me this year for the last time.
  21. I admit the quotes from Merloni were accurate...that's it. And the quotes from Merloni were harmless. Some doc showed up some day between the years 1998 and 2001 and told the Sox players how not to get caught using steroids, and the players all looked at each other in disbelief. Quite the smoking gun.
  22. Yeah but they usually have something to do with the content that follows.
  23. All of which averages out to a guy who gives you slightly above average quality and well below average quantity.
  24. Now you're trying to start a whole other dead horse debate. Well done.
  25. I don't, but I'm extremely heartened by his advanced metrics. They really do make the world a better place.
