    They may still use the 'Scutaro money' to get a pitcher before the deadline. I'm sure Lucchino knows that if they don't he's going to have to explain why at some point.

    It's too late, Pumps, you're already using adjusted ERA, as you showed in your comparison of Hamels and Shields.

    Good lord, not the blind squirrel again.

    Just remember, you were the one who said this: Hamels vs. Shields: Hamels, but not by much. His ERA is lower, but he pitches in the NL. Hamels' career ERA is 3.39, Shields' is 3.94. That's a difference of .55 runs per game. Yet you are saying Hamels but not by much. So in effect you are saying that ERA, in itself, is not totally reliable and needs to be adjusted for other factors. You may not realize it but you're contradicting yourself.

    Cliff Lee is having a very weird season. The Phillies' 24 million-a-year co-ace is putting up typical numbers in most departments: 11 starts, 77.2 innings, 3.48 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, 77 K, 14 BB. The weird part, of course, is the W-L record: 0-3.

    The only way you can trade Crawford is for another bad contract. I think the Angels would consider a Crawford for Wells swap.

    Sure they were. But again, the 2002 Red Sox missed the playoffs for the third year in a row, and we all know what the 2003 and 2004 teams did. In 8 years Duquette's Red Sox teams won a total of one postseason series and five postseason games.

    So who was it that suggested that Hamels' ERA was lower because he pitches in the NL? Ah yes, it was you-Mr. Consistency.

    Pumpsie, you need to add ERA+ to your repertoire of stats. It's not a complicated stat at all. It takes good old ERA, adjusts it for the team's ballpark, and then compares it to league average. Hamels ERA+ 125 Shields 105 Lester 124 Price 117

    I'd say the next 5 games will be a good test of just where we stand on the Suck-o-meter, especially the offense. We face Samardzija and Maholm, then home to face Buehrle, Nolasco and Zambrano.

    There are a few details in there that I have to question. First of all I'd love to know where the quote came from that has Schilling calling the Sox "A piece of ****, loser organization." Pretty sure we would have heard that one before. Secondly, the negotiations between Schilling and the Red Sox went on for a period of several days and almost fell through because of Schilling's asking price. Schilling had the final say on the deal, regardless of how his owner felt about it.

    Thr career ERA at Fenway before he got there was a small sample size.
  19. Bellhorn04
    IRT Lackey, people often bring up his poor numbers at Fenway, but fail to note that his last 3 appearances at Fenway while with the Angels were all excellent. July 29/08 9 IP 2 ER Oct 6/08 (ALDS) 7 IP 2 ER Sept 15/09 7.2 IP 2 ER

    Fine, give him 40%. But it was the 40% that converted the team from one that missed the playoffs in 2000, 2001 & 2002 to one that went to the ALCS game 7 in 2003 and won it all in 2004.
  21. Bellhorn04
    In your first post you said, and I quote 'He didn't have much to do with the 2004 team'. That is clearly not true. Yes, go ahead and get us the 'full story' on Schilling.
  22. Bellhorn04
    No, that's a fallacy. The 2004 team that won the World Series had Schilling, Arroyo, Foulke, Timlin, Ortiz, Millar, Bellhorn, Cabrera, Mueller and Roberts, none of whom were from the Duquette 2002 team. That's the top-winning pitcher, the closer and main set-up guy, the entire infield and the DH, plus a few more.

    Epstein's legacy is a mixed one, kind of hard to leave out the fact he was GM for the first two championships since 1918.
  24. Bellhorn04
    OK, but approving of a trade for both of the Yankees' top pitching prospects is really staying comfortably in the hypothetical zone, cause that certainly ain't happening.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Pretty good point you have there.
