    The best part is, we've got over 2 months more of pre-season prognostications to look forward to.
  2. Bellhorn04
    It's not easy, sure. But last year we saw Lester and Price move at the deadline, and not for earth-shaking amounts of talent. And just because the Sox haven't done it in a while doesn't mean they wouldn't do it this year.

    My honest attitude about the rotation is this: I don't know jack. This is Cherington's baby. I think the plan was to focus on groundball pitchers because of the studies about the low strike zone and all that. Benny Boy is kind of putting himself on the line. I kind of like that. But I don't know how it's going to play out. I think it should be an interesting season.

    Please explain exactly what you didn't like about Porcello's 2014 season.
  5. Bellhorn04
    I meant 20 M/Y total for the 3 of them.
  6. Bellhorn04
    If Porcello, Miley and Kelly were older you could tack on another 20 million or so to their cost. Feel better now?
  7. Bellhorn04
    Kelly is pre-arb so I think he gets the minimum. Nava got 1.85 million.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Porcello 12.5 Buchholz 12.0 Masterson 9.5 Miley-arb-projected 4.3 Kelly pre-arb 0.6 Total 39 Some of the pricing is simply a result of the pitchers years of service.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Yes. I have a lot of vivid memories of the late 70's teams.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Injuries were a factor too of course.

    Welcome aboard, Ogden. I like your avatar. Freddie was one of my favorites. There were not many guys who made baseball look easier than he did when he was in top form.

    It's not that bad, really, once you get used to it. There is a group of smart posters and there are also some idiots. Pumpsie booted a few of the real trolls.
  13. Bellhorn04
    I found it a bit sobering/perplexing that SoxProspects sees Owens's CEILING as a #3.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Pumpsie is now a moderator on the Globe's Sox forum.
  15. Bellhorn04
    I like it.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Ross is a lefty but he has one of those funny old 'reverse splits' - he does better against RH hitters.
  17. Bellhorn04
    They like Ross, obviously. You have to trust their scouting on this one.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Adjace? Well, we're pretty adjacent to New England here. If Quebec had split from Canada I might be an American now.
  19. Bellhorn04
    The only thing that can break the chain is for people to keep personal insults out of their posts. It's actually not that hard to do. But face it, UN, some guys like to scrap. They want to get the better of that other guy who pisses them off. That's why this stuff never ends.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Based on what that Lucchino has actually done though?
  21. Bellhorn04
    We need a new separate thread for people to jibber-jabber about other posters. All you need is a 'cover title' that gets the ball rolling. Like 'Are you an optimistic fan or a pessimistic fan?' Then sit back and watch all hell break loose.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Also, I wish I could have seen video of Lucchino at the meeting with Teixiera and Boras. There were rumors that he really went off. I have this picture of him grabbing for Boras's throat when he realizes Boras has brought them there to tell them it's the Yankees who'll be signing his client.
  23. Bellhorn04
    The quotes from George S. on Lucchino are classic, hilarious. Without looking it up, I'm pretty sure he went on record to warn John Henry about Larry with stuff like this: 'Watch your back, John. This is not a guy you want in your foxhole.' And of course it was Larry with the 'Evil Empire' stuff.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Yep. It's definitely reached the point of Papelyawn now.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I back Lucchino to a certain extent because he's part of the group that brought us 3 titles. He's also the guy who was responsible for Theo being hired in the first place. I think he's probably done some dumb s***, too.
