  1. I agree, it's ridiculous to call Cherington clueless based on what he's done so far. Of course Fred and Nick don't even want to take into consideration the limited budget he had to work with. I'm actually surprised you would say that about the Punto acquisition because you're such a numbers person. He hit 278/388/421 and had a +14.2 UZR/150 for St. Louis last year, and they won it all.
  2. The statement that Aviles has been 'poor' offensively is just wrong. His OPS is .708 compared to the average OPS of .665 for AL shortstops. And that's without even considering the 36 RBI. I have no regrets about the Reddick trade. The Lowrie trade doesn't look too good because we don't know if Melancon will contribute anything. Most Sox fans always felt Lowrie could be a good hitter if he played every day and stayed healthy.
  3. Yeah, the first step to that for the Nats was finishing last a bunch of times and getting those top draft picks.
  4. There's no evidence that Red Sox players aren't 'giving it everything'.
  5. I think Middlebrooks has shown enough that he should be in the lineup over Youkilis. That's the problem.
  6. It's all relative. There may not be any really good teams in the AL this year. Texas looked great for awhile but they have really fallen back, 33-25 going into tonight. The biggest thing to me is that they are no free passes in the AL East anymore. We used to be able to fatten up our win total by pounding on the Rays (pre-2008), the Orioles and the Jays, and that's 18 games times 3. Now there are no easy games against those teams.
  7. He was 3rd in MVP voting in 2008 and 6th in 2009.
  8. I'm afraid the truth may be that Bard has always struggled with the mental part of the game and this starter experiment is only bringing it to full light. If you look at Bard's catcher splits it's kind of shocking. The only catcher he actually has great numbers with is Varitek. Absolutely lights-out with Varitek, mediocre to bad with everyone else.
  9. Oh yeah, I realize that. But I see you like positive trends too.
  10. Yes, posting a 6 ERA the first month kind of put us in a hole.
  11. I've been hearing very good things about it. I agree, Scott has done some great stuff...Alien and Blade Runner are classics.
  12. They have to trade Youk, ASAP.
  13. I dunno...clever, but I still like Pedroia.
  14. Gameday says it was close enough.
  15. We're in last place 3 games out. At one point we were 7.5 games out.
  16. The pitching has improved a lot though. April 5.54 ERA May 3.93 ERA June 2.83 ERA before tonight
  17. Bard's comments about being angry and disappointed hardly qualify him as insubordinate or a cancer. If he doesn't go to Pawtucket and work hard there, that would be a different story.
  18. Crawford might not be too good anymore either.
  19. A 182 hitter. Ha ha, like your small samples much?
  20. All Nava has done is get on base at a tremendous clip, score runs and drive them in. Yes, let's get him the hell out of here. Bring on Crawford and that .289 OBP. Woo-hoo! I say keep Nava, even if you have to send him back down. After Crawford sucks for awhile everyone will be wanting Nava back.
