Let's compare Bogaerts's rookie season with Dwight Evans's 1973 rookie season. Dewey also struggled out of the gate. He was better than Bogaerts but not by a big margin. Bogaerts PA 594 240/297/362 660 OPS 85 OPS+ 12 HR 46 RBI For Fred, numbers with RISP PA 143 153/211/218 Evans PA 328 223/320/383 703 OPS 93 OPS+ 10 HR 32 RBI Numbers with RISP PA 106 184/305/287

Red Sox Sign Koji Uehara To Two-Year Extension
Bellhorn04 replied to a700hitter's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
If a $9 million AAV player fails it's not great but it's not going to kill you either. -
But some of the worst flak toward A-Gon has been about his attitude. He has taken a pounding for the 'God's will' stuff. People used that to give him heat about 2011 even though he had a great month that September. I'm just throwing s*** out there for argument's sake.
-
Stanton could be the same type of player for all we know - a great compiler of stats who doesn't thrive in the spotlight of Boston. To acquire him we'd have to package off some of our best prospects, and to keep him long term we'd have to give him close to 300 million. Not that I wouldn't love to have him, but the risk would be out of this world, especially when you factor in the possibility that he might be an 'A-Gon' type personality.

I don't know, I think he's getting a bit of a bad rap here. He was a rock solid producer for the Dodgers this year. Kershaw was the guy who really let them down in the playoff series.

"The moment you close your mind to the possibility of pleasant surprises, you are dead in spirit." -
You have a unique perspective, Fred.
-
Tied for first this century still sounds good though.
-
Next they will probably sign Lester.
-
No politics talk on baseball threads, please, folks. It's always guaranteed to turn things uncivil in a hurry.
-
That kind of says a lot about the game of baseball, doesn't it? It's a funky game alright.
-
Love it.
-
Price is not FA until 2016, right?
-
It's a very unfortunate and ironic nickname. It must be in his head now. 'Hmmm...I'm called Big Game but I keep sucking in the postseason...hmmm.'
-
Chili Davis has been hired as Red Sox new hitting coach per WEEI.
-
Yes. It continues to tantalize the Red Sox too. I don't think we can afford to trade an experienced starter right now. We're not exactly operating with a surplus.
-
a) Bradley would certainly get much more playing time than Herb Washington did. Designated Hitter David Ortiz might get in the Hall of Fame. c) I'm just throwing s*** out there.
-
Bradley would be the perfect late inning defensive specialist. He doesn't enter the game unless you have a late lead. It could work pretty well.
-
Very good...I can't believe I didn't think of it myself.
-
Puig must have some pretty serious attitude issues for Mattingly to bench him for an elimination game, and if the trade rumors are accurate. These things shouldn't be happening with a player that talented.
-
Good stuff, except that Game 6 of the NLCS was the Bartman game. Very important to have the details of such cosmically tragic moments in MLB history correct.
-
I think you're right and I hope we're both right.
-
Beckett pitched well this year till his season was ended by the injury.
-
OK, that's a fair argument. On the other hand, Tito made the worst decision of his career not lifting Beckett when we went ahead 6-5, so you could argue that loss was on Tito. Also, Beckett won Game 6 and then Lester lost Game 7 when he was outpitched by Garza for the second time in the series. I'm just debating here, I don't even care that much about the matter any more. But you can't pin the loss of a 4-3 series on a pitcher who pitched badly in the second game of the series and should have been lifted with the lead anyway.
-
No, I know about the ERA. But how can you blame Beckett for losing that series when we lost both of Lester's games? And how can you blame not having home field advantage when the Rays pounded the piss out of us at Fenway (we won one of the 3 games miraculously). Those are my points.
