  1. Reasonable points...I think some of that pessimism stems from fear of the 'Renteria syndrome', a condition where the player is truly unable to cope with the pressures and general insanity of playing for Boston.
  2. The more I think about it, jung may have made a good call with the soft landing for CC idea. It would take some pressure off him.
  3. Nice number crunching on the steals.
  4. Valentine seems to be a fairly adept lineup juggler...he's had plenty of practice at it already this year.
  5. As a matter of fact, Jason Bay was 7th in MVP voting in 2009, silver slugger, ASG starter. He's hitting .246 for the Mets.
  6. Now you're really overstating your case. What you just described has most certainly happened.
  7. No, but I have a lot more faith in Gonzalez to turn it around than I do Crawford. Gonzo already put up a solid season here. I've already said Crawford gets his job back. I just don't want Nava traded. If Crawford doesn't get it back together fairly quickly, he's going to be a real problem.
  8. Crawford was flat horrible for an entire season and now injured for half another season. There are good reasons to be concerned about him.
  9. Crawford hasn't exactly been the picture of health, productivity, good technique, or any other positive traits these 1.5 years.
  10. Jurrjens, Delgado and Minor are the 3 Atlanta pitchers we're scheduled to face. We must pillage, plunder and sweep.
  11. It's been a different story for Youkilis.
  12. That's correct. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/TOR/TOR201206030.shtml
  13. I have to agree, Dojji. Nava's got a 2.0 WAR in 30 games, Crawdads had a 0.0 WAR in 2011, anyone can see that Nava is helping us win games, and a lot of people are going 'Sell high! Sell high!'. I think these message boards really bring out the armchair GM in all of us, me included. Sometimes the overthink is pretty funny.
  14. Sure, obviously Crawford gets his starting job back. My only position on Nava is, don't trade him.
  15. Hard to say whether Hughes is ruined. He's had 6 quality starts since May 6. There are a lot of similarities, though...the Yankees and Sox decided there was more potential value in these guys as starters than as set-up men, even though they had a lot of success as set-up men.
  16. There's no freakin' way they let go of Nava now. Valentine would go medieval.
  17. I'm pretty neutral because I don't really have a team. I have to say LeBron was pretty amazing this postseason especially starting with Game 6 against the Celtics.
  18. Nava has an OBP of .477 in the leadoff spot. That's pretty respectable.
