As one sports cliché goes, that was 'just like they drew it up'. -
I agree.
-
Well, at least we have 3 golf fans here.
-
Cherington has had job offers & opportunities already, but that's just another dead horse to be whipped.
-
Masters time again. Here are my own personal top 10 picks in order: 1. Jason Day 2. Bubba Watson 3. Adam Scott 4. Charl Schwartzel 5. Louis Oosthuizen 6. Jordan Spieth 7. Rory McIlroy 8. Rickie Fowler 9. Dustin Johnson 10. Justin Rose

If Pablo and Castillo played their positions at good levels, would the team be better off with them as starters and Shaw and Holt as bench players than they would be the other way around? Let's assume that Pablo and Castillo would play as well as Shaw and Holt would play, which is certainly within the realm of possibility. This is your question, right? Isn't it based on a questionable assumption?

That was my mistake. But Baseball Prospectus's WAR's for Porcello seem to be the lowest of all. They have him at a total of only 9.7 for his career, compared to 15.3 for FanGraphs.
-
It's not the truth, Kimmi, it's your opinion. It's an informed and sincere opinion and I respect it. But we will have to see some results before we can properly judge whether they made the correct decision or not.
-
Kimmi is referring to the FanGraphs numbers: 2012 2.8 WAR 2013 2.9 WAR 2014 2.8 WAR Which does highlight the very large (to the point of absurd) discrepancies between the Baseball Prospectus and FanGraphs formulas for calculating pitcher WAR.
-
Those options are not much better than 'Heads I win, tails you lose.'
-
The Porcello extension is the deadest horse of all. There's nothing more that can possibly be said.
-
I'm also now thinking that despite what they said publicly, the Sox brass was furious with Pablo for showing up like that.
-
But it in the opinion of others, you haven't given a good reason as to the harm in giving Shaw and Holt a chance to start the season.
-
Some numbers on Castillo's offensive slump: Last 32 games (30 starts) in 2015: 185/222/235 This spring 57 AB's: 175/242/193 (1 extra-base hit) It's worth noting he has the 3rd most AB's of any player this spring. They wanted him to show something on offense and he showed them nothing.
-
There is also a risk, of course, that Pablo and Castillo stinking up the joint like they have been for 1-2 months would cost a few precious games in the standings. And Farrell is concerned about his job status - with good reason. A bad start and he might be fired in 1-2 months or less, and he knows it. You can't fault him for a sense of great urgency.

We have two cats...actually we may just have one now. The older one wandered off the other day and hasn't returned. She was 15 and not in the best of health.
-
Sorry, never heard of Canadian Ace.
-
This is the kind of creative thinking I'm talking about.
-
LOL no, I'm not hipster-ish and I don't wear a scarf.
-
I'm not a fussy drinker at all. I even like Pabst Blue Ribbon.
-
Absolutely. I'm very fond of Budweiser.
-
Damn. There should be some sort of exemption when it's merchandise featuring a player who represents a financial albatross.
-
Time to recoup some of Panda's contract with creative marketing ideas. Develop some fun new products that focus on the lighter side of Panda's corpulence. Starting with beach balls that are designed to look exactly like his belly as captured in that now-classic photo from the start of spring training.
-
I'm not disputing your point about the cost-controlled players. But we can't ignore the potential contract albatrosses that Ben left the team with. The bottom line for 2016 is that we have a mammoth payroll and a team that projects for 84 wins or so.

I'll have the beers you were going to buy for all the non-beer drinkers.
