  1. I don't know about overrating but they're certainly placing their hopes in Lester, Buchholz, Lackey and Doubront. Which I don't think is an unreasonable strategy to start the season. All of these guys have shown the ability to pitch. If, or more likely when, guys get hurt or underperform, the opportunities for Webster and De La Rosa will arise.
  2. I thought they could do the permanent ban thing on this site.
  3. Yeah, everyone here is stupid and you're a genius. That's why you keep coming here, insulting people and getting banned. Your intelligence is really on display.
  4. Pretty hard to be less mature than a guy whose screen name is 'Cano in Dodger Blue'.
  5. The durability factor is one reason Dempster may have been a better choice than guys like McCarthy and Marcum.
  6. Seems reasonable to me.
  7. Lester had ERA+ of 144 in 2008, 136 in 2009 and 134 in 2010. I think you'll have to admit that 144 is pretty close to 148.
  8. Palodios, you'd be better off using the 2007 rotation as an example of mortals. Dice-K and Wake were our 2 and 3 starters in terms of innings, and they had ERA's of 4.40 and 4.76.
  9. Personally I think the most impressive thing about those numbers for Lebron is that they're not that far out of the ordinary for him. Even without that game he's been on a batshit-crazy run for about a month now.
  10. Yeah, gotta agree. Results are results and those are pretty good ones.
  11. His first outing was very impressive. 2 perfect innings, and his fastest pitch was around 100 MPH.
  12. No, he was the final by-product of the Youkilis trade. You mean De La Rosa?
  13. On July 31/12 the Sox were 53-51, but only 3.5 games out of the last wild card. In fact they were only 4 games behind the Angels, who had the third best record in the league. I'm not disputing that they were a s***** team. But the current playoff structure allows a lot of s***** teams to give their fans hope deeper into the season. The Red Sox will not be deadline sellers when they're only 3-4 games out of the last spot. They can't operate that way.
  14. Mazz's statement seems pretty pointless to me, not that it's anything new for him. In 2004 we had hardly anybody who was both young and talented.
  15. Keep in mind though, that we weren't really out of it last year on July 31, even though we were floundering around the .500 mark. Not out of it enough to throw in the towel when you're the Red Sox. A lot of that was because of the extra wild card.
  16. Are you saying that because you think we'll be 'out of it' in July?
  17. I thought there was a pretty big waiting list for season tickets.
  18. Not sure you can make a valid comparison between Orioles fans and Sox fans. I think 2013 Sox attendance will depend a lot on onfield results. For the first time in a long time, Sox fans are going into a season very unsure if they have a team that has a sniff of the playoffs.
  19. You're right, none of the potential benefits of the trade have been realized yet. Nothing is proven until a lot of games have been played.
  20. It's anybody's guess how Napoli and Victorino will do. But even if Napoli's contract was 3 for 39, that's 2 players making 7 million a year less, and signed for 3 years less and 2 years less than AGon and Crawford. Plus we got the pitching prospects.
  21. There are signs that AGon's contract could end up as a bad one. 6 more years at 22 per. His home run power has mysteriously vanished and his walks took a big dip last year. Something is not right with him.
  22. De La Rosa and Webster both hitting close to 100 MPH...I know it's too early to get excited about this stuff, but it seems like the Dodgers were incredibly generous to us.
  23. Webster reportedly throwing very hard today. Fastballs between 94-97 MPH with one hitting 99. Seems like the Dodgers sent us a couple of guys with heat...
  24. Minor league depth signings always go over well here.
  25. Sounds like Rubby was pretty impressive today.
