  1. LOL. No zac, I'd just like to see Boras look like an ass. I'm a spiteful person sometimes.
  2. In 14 innings with Atlanta he gave up 19 hits and 8 walks. I'm guessing he let some inherited runners score too. That plus his age must have knocked his price down.
  3. Now the cherry on the sundae will be if A-Rod gets his suspension overturned or reduced.
  4. Not necessarily. Heyman says Sox still interested in Drew & Herrera will be utility IF.
  5. Calm down big fella. Keep in mind that what Ellsbury was looking for was 'Crawford money'. Where did the term 'Crawford money' come from again? Oh yeah. Sure the Yankees overpay, but they're certainly not the only culprits.
  6. I would love to see Choo and Boras get f***ed on this. I'm sick of hearing about how Boras is the best.
  7. Oh yeah, they have more spending to do (Tanaka).
  8. But who replaces him as ace set-up guy?
  9. I thought the Yankees would have signed Balfour.
  10. You seem to really think this board sucks, mvp. The other day you were talking about new posters not being able to form sentences, now you're saying the board is full of dipshits. Why the need to keep taking potshots at most of the rest of the board?
  11. Holy Gotham Geriatrics, Batman!
  12. I detest the thought of trading him at this point.
  13. Buchholz has to realize that his career has reached somewhat of a crossroads. In 2013 he showed how dominating he could be and then he showed, again, how fragile he could be. He has to work harder at making himself stronger and more durable physically (as Pedro has been saying about him) or he'll never fulfill his potential.
  14. What you and sk7326 has also been stated as a key to success by Schilling.
  15. I just checked it out and the lithograph does indeed look sweet. It's 24.95 plus shipping. There's other cool Sox stuff there too. Link: http://www.frankgalasso.com/ Thanks for posting this, Fred.
  16. What Fred doesn't seem to accept is that Francona simply followed a different offensive philosophy than the one he liked and that was a big part of his problem with him. Francona's Red Sox were 3rd in the league in SB's one year and 5th another. Francona had nothing against stealing bases. He didn't like to bunt, no question, but he's got a lot of company there. I liked Francona a lot but I do think his time here was up at the end of 2011.
  17. Jete and Reynolds as the left side of your infield, huh? Might be some range issues there.
  18. As far as the indirect effect, I don't think there's any reliable way to measure that. If someone could dig up the data, which I doubt, you could try something like this: OPS of Red Sox hitters hitting directly after Ellsbury when he's not on base vs. OPS of Red Sox hitters hitting directly after Ellsbury when he's on first or second base That wouldn't necessarily prove anything either but it might be interesting.
  19. OK, let's look at Ellsbury's career HR numbers at the Stadium. This is for the two Stadiums combined-mostly in the new Stadium: 206 PA 185 AB 4 HR That projects to about 7 HR at the Stadium for a season of 350 PA's.
  20. Or he's Mark Reynolds with a slightly better glove. Reynolds could hit 30 playing half his games in Fenway.
  21. He'll be even more of a fit for the Yankees next year after their rotation sucks historically this year.
  22. The Ellsbury contract joins the Crawford contract as the most ridiculous ever, in the sense that you're paying a guy who might not even hit 10 home runs 20 million.
  23. They did re-sign Kuroda for 16 million.
  24. WMB's fielding stats are a little below average.
  25. All the best to Kalish. He's only 25 - if his injury luck finally turns around he can still have a major league career.
