You have to change your avatar back. I can't look at that.

Here's a comment from FanGraphs that everyone is going to love: From the 'After Dark Chat' on Tuesday: 9:12 Barry from Boston: The SP rotation after Price, slobs Panda and Handley, unproven Castillo and catchers. How can they be so highly regarded with this many holes? 9:13 Paul Swydan: Because there are potential solutions there. The Sox have a very wide beta. They could easily be a 98-win or 72-win team. Which I think is about 8-10 wins wider than the gap is for most teams. So there you have it folks - anywhere from 72 to 98, per FanGraphs! (I think the guy who asked the question may have been Jacko posing as a Sox fan.)
-
I don't think it's a stretch to say that the Sox have about $78 million riding on Panda's 2016 season. Because if he isn't an appreciably better player this year than he was last year, he's a writeoff.
-
Again I say, that is very ironic.
-
I'll bet you really wrecked 'em the first time you told that joke.
-
My optimism about Panda turning it around was quickly snuffed by the pictures. This guy might be a complete writeoff of 95 million.

Agreed. I was just pointing out to mvp78 that he wasn't '3 wins in half a season' bad. -
2016 Red Sox Hot Stove Discussion Thread

Well, he was awful, but he wasn't quite that awful. His actual UZR for the games he played in was -17.8. The -31.9 is the number extrapolated to 150 games. -
Holy hell...talk about bad optics.
-
The only problem with fat jokes is that hardly any of them are funny.
-
Don't be led astray by mvp78's strange obsession with trading Pedroia.
-
You guys are vicious!
-
Good one Pete.
-
I'd say he needs to put up a minimum OPS of say .690 to be a plus player on an everyday basis.
-
I think you're right. But they really made themselves look ridiculous, starting with an offer of 70 million and ending with an offer of 135 million.
-
Yes, he should leave that up to the experts - us.
-
Balderdash. I'm a skeptic, but we were a .500 team last year and we've certainly improved.
-
Agreed. But I was disagreeing with SoxHop about them not spending any money on pitching last year.
-
Of course he has!
-
Except for being one of the defensive outfielders in the game.
-
JBJ was everyday material for his stint in 2015. He had a 2.4 fWAR in 66 starts, 74 games.
-
The thing is, though, they basically swapped Lester for Porcello, who they're paying 95 million for 5 years. If they could have signed Lester for Homer Bailey+ money of 6 years, 110 to 120 million, they didn't save very much money at all.
-
So their bungling led to the departure of 2 pitchers who put up a combined fWAR of 8.6 in 2015. That only leaves the question of how much of the blame for the bungling belongs to Ben, which we'll never know.
-
I think you copied all this from a library of your own past posts.

I don't think it's necessarily a mental connection. sk7326 is Mr. Reasonable of this forum, like thirtysomething was on the old forum.
