    It's all speculation who's making the calls on these things. If Ben was opposed to the Panda signing, he should take the Cashman route. When the Yankees signed Soriano to that 3 year, 35 million deal, Cashman came right out and said it wasn't his idea. He kept his job and I think he actually gained some credibility.

    I'm liking what the Jays are doing, for one simple reason - take down those MFY's!
  3. Bellhorn04
    That may well be a valid defense for Ben. I'm not sure it is for Farrell though. Too much underperformance and too many in-game blunders, physical and mental.

    Is left field in Fenway really the easiest position on the field? I know it's small real estate-wise, but it seems to me there have been a colossal number of plays butchered out there over the years, by us and opposing teams alike.

    Anomaly is kind of a key word here. With their 2015 'strategy', the Sox may have been trying to replicate a 'formula for success' when in fact they were trying to replicate an anomaly - a formula that usually fails.

    The Royals have the best record in the AL. They have a 3.68 team ERA. But check out the starter/reliever split: Starters 4.35 Relievers 2.18 So sk7326 is certainly correct that the Royals are succeeding despite a weak starting rotation.

    There are some pieces that should be just kept.

    Taz is a premier 8th inning guy.

    I think there were a few other factors that contributed too. 1) 'Young free agent' 2) Supposed solid defense 3) Panda merchandise A grab bag of goodies that was too hard to resist.

    Wright's ERA is over 5 now. We have 4 starters with ERA's over 5. One really bad outing would probably put Miley's ERA over 5 too.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Wow I'll say. This is fairly stunning.
  12. Bellhorn04
    And Lester and Lackey are rubbing their noses in it right now.
  13. Bellhorn04
    To me it kind of makes more sense for a team with a smaller payroll like the Royals to employ such a strategy. For a team with one of the highest payrolls to do it still seems wonky to me.
  14. Bellhorn04
    The dicking around they did with Lester really demonstrated what a state of confusion they were in.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Although, as Yankee fans should readily agree this year, sometimes guys who appear to be a lot of dead money can have big turnarounds.

    Even if the Red Sox wanted to trade Ortiz, who would they trade him to? I'm pretty sure the vesting option goes with him, so it would have to be a contending AL team with money, other than the Yankees. That leaves the Angels, maybe the Jays.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Ortiz isn't going anywhere. This team has enough PR headaches as it is.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Kind of a Catch-22 though. If he had stayed healthy I don't think they would have traded him.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Saw a rumor that the Nationals are looking at Papelbon.
  20. Bellhorn04
    It would have been nice if we got some bullpen help from the farm. But every guy they brought up has failed so far.
  21. Bellhorn04
    What was the BP strategy?
  22. Bellhorn04
    Here's a little factoid someone posted on the Globe forum. During the Epstein years the Sox had a guy named Craig Shipley who was heavily involved in the international scouting. Shipley signed Iglesias, Tazawa and Bogaerts. One of the first things Ben did as GM was fire Shipley.

    By next spring optimism will abound again about this marvelous athlete.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Pal, I'm afraid last night's game was like Exhibit A of why Ben is on thin ice. Joe Kelly followed by one inept reliever after another. Yikes.
  25. Bellhorn04
    It would be a disheartening loss if the game mattered.
