    I thought you wanted high OBP at the top of the order. Gomes has a career .381 OBP against lefties - .350 this year.
  2. Bellhorn04
    OK, let's consider what Bourn got then. 4 years, 48 million for a guy with a career OPS of .707. Ellsbury should be able to attract an offer in that neighborhood at least. Granderson just needs to get healthy again and he should attract more than that with his power numbers. It would be very risky for them to turn down 50 million guaranteed. I'm just guessing at all this of course. But this past offseason indicated that teams are willing to throw 40 million or more at middling players if they at least had a good season or two recently.

    I don't know, if BJ Upton can get 5 for 75, Ellsbury & Granderson could still do OK.

    2 things: 1) If Victorino was healthy this week it's quite possible Farrell would have inserted him at leadoff. 2) As bad as Ellsbury has been going, the Sox are 7-3 in their last 10 and have scored 55 runs. So it's not like he's been killing them.

    They are swimming in money, but it's safe to say they didn't know how bad his elbow was. He seemed healthy at the end of 2009.

    Very encouraging so far to say the least. We now have two guys on our staff, Lackey and Tazawa, doing superbly in the wake of TJ surgery.

    Have to put in a plug for the Halifax Mooseheads, who will be playing in the Memorial Cup final game on Sunday, for the junior hockey championship of Canada.

    Salty has improved IMO. At least from the perspective that we are winning games now when he catches. We are 19-11 in his starts at catcher. His CERA still isn't great but that seems to be mainly because of a few blowout losses.
  9. Bellhorn04
    He no longer plays SS though, and probably couldn't play SS for more than a game here or there.

    Well, we're sort of catching a break because Sale was originally scheduled to pitch. But Santiago has decent numbers and we have been sucking against lefty starters. Naps, Middlebrooks, Gomes, can you please rectify this situation tonight?
  11. Bellhorn04
    I don't even like arguing with you because I like your point of view and I usually agree with you. Nonetheless, I prefer OPS a little bit to OBP. OPS is a crude little combination, but I do think SLG has to be given its due. If we use the years 2011-2013 Salty's OPS is about .750 and the average AL catcher is just a shade over .700. Obviously you're right that Salty's OBP for 2011-2012 was low even for a catcher. If he could keep up his current 2013 OPS all year that'd be pretty good. Doubtful he will though. Bottom line for me on Salty is that I have no big issues with his offense. It's his defence I'm concerned with.

    But the average catcher is even shittier.

    Yankees new Murderers Row 3-4-5 of Wells, Hafner and Overbay continues to rake.

    Jim Johnson blows his 3rd straight save. That's hard to recover from.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Ha...don't even think about betting anything of value on a baseball game.

    Peter Abraham says the tarp is coming off the field.
  17. Bellhorn04
    1) Tazawa 2) Uehara 3) Bailey 4) Breslow 5) Miller 6) Wilson 7) Mortensen 8) De La Torre
  18. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, he's doing well. Much needed.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Nava still rocking. Love it.
  20. Bellhorn04
    I think the Angels are a mess regardless of whether he heats up or not.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Napoli and Gomes will each hit a rocket off Diamond. Time for us to start beating up on lefty pitchers like we should.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Horrors in La-La Land continue: Angels 15-27 Dodgers 17-23
  23. Bellhorn04
    As of May 17 Nava OPS .873 Hamilton OPS .606 Josh has a long way to go to catch up.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Talk about your meaningless stats.
  25. Bellhorn04
    2 un-Sox like wins in a row. Scraping and scratching and pulling it out late. Good wins to have for sure.
