    I agree 100%. But that still leaves you with a WAR of 3.2 or 2.7 for Buchholz's slot in 2015. You just add 0.0 to his number.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Bastard Number 1, I like it.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, there's not much doubt that being manager of the Red Sox is one of the toughest jobs in sports when it comes to scrutiny and abuse. You can win 2 World Series and pick up the nickname Coma along the way.
  4. Bellhorn04
    You have a vivid imagination. Whether you go by FanGraphs or B-R, Buchholz put up a higher WAR in less innings last year. That's a simple and indisputable fact.
  5. Bellhorn04
    You don't know that. Buchholz had a higher WAR last year. Miley is cheaper with more years of control. Doesn't make him the better pitcher.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Preferring Miley over Buchholz is not the same as having no interest in Buchholz.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Shaw just keeps hitting.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Had a feeling Swihart was going to do something good there. It'd be cool if he starts hitting.
  9. Bellhorn04
    I see what she's saying, which is that they signed Buchholz, then tried to swing a trade of prospects for a #2 type starter but found the price too high, so they kept Buch. If they had swung the trade they would have traded him.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Or maybe it was more the case that they preferred Miley...I mean, how exact is our information on this?
  11. Bellhorn04
    By the same token, in spite of the big dollar mistakes, Cherington's best pitching moves may have been getting Wright and ERod for Lars Anderson and a 2-month rental of Andrew Miller.
  12. Bellhorn04
    OK it's time for me to take a clear stand on Buchholz. No more fooling around. I am in the group that believes categorically and unequivocally that if Clay starts pitching better, picking up the option will start looking better. And I'm not backing down on that.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Not to mention pitching coach Pedroia explaining where his hands should be.
  14. Bellhorn04
    WAR is what you're looking for. Clay needs a WAR of 2. Price needs a WAR of 4.5.
  15. Bellhorn04
    You're illustrating the value of the WAR concept which gives you a much clearer way to compare 2 guys. For 13 million Buchholz should produce a WAR of about 2 to earn his pay. Price should produce a WAR of about 4.5.

    The Cubs

    Bellhorn04 replied to iortiz's topic in Other Baseball

    In 2003 the Red Sox and Cubs were each, in spooky lockstep, exactly 5 outs away from the World Series when the walls began caving in.
  17. Bellhorn04
    I agree with Kimmi. It's good to have a veteran catcher on the team.
  18. Bellhorn04
    mvp's post was pure mockery.
  19. Bellhorn04
    That's what I always thought too.
  20. Bellhorn04
    When you give up 5 hits and 4 walks in 6 innings you deserve to give up 3-4 runs. You usually will.
  21. Bellhorn04
    No doubt, but it'd be someone we'd have to pay a lot more than $519 K so our payroll would be even more bloated.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Certainly seems possible. And maybe it's a true 'win now' philosophy - they think Swihart might be our best option for left field for the 2016 season.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Who in the Sox FO is whining?
  24. Bellhorn04
    No one wants to trade any of them, but there seems to be consensus that to acquire a cost-controlled #1 pitcher we probably have to give up one of them.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Quality Start % is more meaningful. Buch is only .333 in that department.
