    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.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Wow I'll say. This is fairly stunning.
  3. Bellhorn04
    And Lester and Lackey are rubbing their noses in it right now.
  4. 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.
  5. Bellhorn04
    The dicking around they did with Lester really demonstrated what a state of confusion they were in.
  6. 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.
  7. Bellhorn04
    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.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Ortiz isn't going anywhere. This team has enough PR headaches as it is.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Kind of a Catch-22 though. If he had stayed healthy I don't think they would have traded him.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Saw a rumor that the Nationals are looking at Papelbon.
  11. 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.
  12. Bellhorn04
    What was the BP strategy?
  13. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Bellhorn04
    It would be a disheartening loss if the game mattered.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, that's what I mean.
  18. Bellhorn04
    It's possible that his bullpen strategy is even harder to defend than the rotation strategy.
  19. Bellhorn04
    The least Ben could have done was fortify the bullpen a little. That's one of the failures that's overlooked.
  20. Bellhorn04
    They have an excellent bullpen, another thing we don't.
  21. Bellhorn04
    True, if there were young cost-controlled aces available at a tolerable price in prospects I would think we'd already have one.
  22. Bellhorn04
    The Royals are getting Cueto.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Agreed.
  24. Bellhorn04
    I don't think there was an automatic assumption. A strong hope, yes. It's like the Lester situation. Most people figure we could have signed him for 6 years, 110-120 million before the 2014 season started. He had a good year and ended up with 155 million.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Overpaid on the salary in return for a cut on the years. If he had a good year he would've gotten 6 years in FA. It was a bet, really. So far a losing one.
