    I'll go with Cueto as well, and Carrasco by trade.
  2. Bellhorn04
    I don't think they have any intention of moving either one. Those two are bona fide rising stars. The Red Sox do not need to trade them.
  3. Bellhorn04
    I don't agree that it's irrelevant who wanted Pablo and Hanley. What you're leaving out is the failure of the remade pitching staff. I suspect that is what cost Ben his job.

    JBJ's August may have been a mirage, but we still don't really know what his MLB numbers will look like over the long haul. He had an .853 OPS at Pawtucket last year, so it's not a case of a guy doing nothing in the minors and then putting up big numbers in MLB. That scenario applies a lot more to Shaw then it does to JBJ.
  5. Bellhorn04
    That would be a tad much.
  6. Bellhorn04
    They will be enriched by their time spent in his presence, brief though it may be.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Yes, I understand that. I was just asking if you thought a package like that might be enough for Carrasco.
  8. Bellhorn04
    What do you think it would take for the Sox to get Carrasco? We were talking earlier about a package of Swihart, Bradley and Owens.
  9. Bellhorn04
    It makes plenty of sense. But San Diego would likely want something more - a prospect or money.
  10. Bellhorn04
    It goes to the club we trade him to.

    Personally, I think it's the baseball contracts that are f***ed in the head, and FanGraphs just reflects that reality.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Agreed, and personally I'm waiting for the day when baseball's economic bubble bursts - it has to. But when the games are being played you have to set all that stuff aside, the game of baseball itself is still great.

    The reason Buchholz is worth 13 million is that it's only a 1 year commitment. Plus there is a team option for a second year at 13.5 million if by some miracle Buch both pitches well and stays healthy.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Here's how crazy the money is: Brett Anderson and Colby Rasmus each received Qualifying Offers of 15.8 million.
  15. Bellhorn04
    As a matter of fact, FanGraphs has Price's total value over the past 2 seasons at 97.3 million or 48.65 million average. That's why he's going to get a deal worth 220 million or more. It's insane but it's the current reality of MLB.
  16. Bellhorn04
    The rumor mill has it that Price is very likely to end up with the Cubs.
  17. Bellhorn04
    FWIW MLBTR predicts we sign Cueto and O'Day.
  18. Bellhorn04
    All I can say is I hope they gave him a really good physical.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Carrasco of Cleveland is the guy.
  20. Bellhorn04
    He is a maestro of mediocrity. Welcome back.

    Kimmi, one of the all-time classic examples of why both the save stat and the hold stat should be abolished came in a game that Sox fans all know and love - Game 5 of the 2004 ALCS. As we all remember with joy, Joe Torre elected to let Tom Gordon start the 8th with the Yanks leading 4-2. Gordon gave up the home run to Papi. Torre didn't budge. Gordon gave up a walk to Millar and a single to Nixon, moving pinch runner Roberts to third. Torre finally trudged out to the mound and removed Gordon for Rivera. Rivera gave up a game-tying sac fly to Varitek, then retired the side. He also pitched a scoreless ninth, raising the question of why Torre didn't have him start the 8th. At the end of the day, Gordon's stat line shows 2 runs allowed in 0.2 innings. Rivera's shows 0 runs allowed in 2 innings. Gordon was credited with a hold. Rivera was charged with a blown save.

    One trade suggestion on the Boston.com forum that seems at least plausible looks like this: Swihart, Bradley and something else, possibly Owens, to Cleveland for Salazar or Carrasco
  23. Bellhorn04
    You seem to be disagreeing with my point and yet saying essentially the same thing.
  24. Bellhorn04
    The blown save stat can be ridiculous sometimes though. You can be brought in with the bases loaded and no outs and give up a run on a ground ball and get charged with a blown save.
  25. Bellhorn04
    No doubt. I wonder how the fans at the park who were screaming for him to leave Harvey in feel about it now.
