    Bard was a freak case. He said he wanted to be a starter so they let him give it a shot. No one could foresee that he was going to become a victim of an extremely rare malady like Steve Blass Disease.

    Unfortunately, only their Twitter accounts arrived.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, I'm sure they would let him do that.

    If they do trade Swihart for Hamels, of course, it automatically leads to this question: 'Why the f*** didn't you just sign Lester?'

    It's that 12.5 million buyout that makes Lee's contract extra scary. If he gets injured you could end up paying him 37.5 million for a year or less. From everything I've read that 12.5 million is guaranteed money. He either gets that or he gets a second year at 25 million if he reaches 200 innings and his option vests.

    I like Cliff Lee too. But if the Sox were unwilling to give Shields 75 million for 4 years, I can't see them giving up a prospect and 37.5-50 million for one or two years of Lee.

    Papelbon too. Has to be the worst management in baseball right now.
  8. Bellhorn04
    I find your position abundantly clear.

    The extension was triggered by the opt-out that kicked in after 3 years - 3 very good years by Sabathia. It was the opt-out itself that was deadly.

    Why 'baffling' extension, sk?

    My only prediction is that I will be drinking a lot of rum and Cherry Kool-Aid cocktails this year.
  12. Bellhorn04
    The Red Sox don't seem to have any interest in Shields, dropping price or not.

    Telling Fred to chillax is like telling your wife to calm down, or trying to herd cats.

    The Cubs time may be here for real. The Sox brass is probably relieved we don't play the Cubs in interleague for awhile.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Yes, that and $155 million. I'm kidding about that. But the presence of Theo and Hoyer and Dempster and the idea of helping the Cubs break their 100 year + drought obviously appealed to Jon. This was a huge decision in his life and he treated it as such.

    "Prune Face and his cohorts" - sounds exactly like villains from Dick Tracy or Batman.

    The reported facts certainly indicate that Lester was willing to return to Boston. He told the Giants he had narrowed his choice to the Cubs and the Sox. Apparently the Giants had been preparing an offer that was equal to the Cubs offer or more.

    The Jays upgraded their offence, yes. The Yankees didn't, as far as I can see. Baltimore downgraded. Overall, it's a wash.

    Let's have a reality check on the ALE - it ain't what it used to be. Last year the other 4 teams in the ALE averaged 4.13 runs per game. League average was 4.18.
  20. Bellhorn04
    That's because you don't like Porcello.

    Betting the over/under on soccer games sounds like self-inflicted torture to me.
  22. Bellhorn04
    There's so much stuff that happens in baseball that completely defies logic. Look at Oakland last year. On July 31 they were 66-41. In August and September, after acquiring Lester and the two guys from the Cubs, they went 22-33. Unfathomable.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Preseason prognostications always bring out the philosopher in me. What were the preseason odds on SF and KC last year? What were the odds on the Red Sox in 2013? I wish somebody would keep track of the preseason calls and compare them to the actual results. But nobody does it because it would make the whole concept of preseason picks look foolish. It would also be pretty tedious. Nobody knows s***, and your guess is as good as mine.

    Free agency changed everything, no doubt. And it was what the players wanted all along. Human nature doesn't change over time, IMO, just environment changes.

    Re: park factors. Here are some interesting career numbers for road games: Shields ERA 4.00 OPS .739 Miley ERA 3.31 OPS .704
