    Fred is the epitome of an impatient baseball fan.

    But you don't know that Bard will remain an average #5 starter based on 7 major league starts. You just don't. There is a learning curve.

    We're 20-21 after 41 games. Last year the Rays were 30-29 after 59 games. So how did they do last year? Oh yeah right, they made the playoffs. Shouldn't you be limiting this to the 2 seasons that are in the books?

    I checked Nomar's but no HR's that hit 34 letters. I checked Yaz's, Petrocelli's and Tony Conigliaro's. The highest score I found was 38 letters, a grand slam by Petrocelli that scored Andrews, Yaz and Tony C.

    BTR is the man.

    I'm going to use Sandy Koufax as a comp for Bard. Like Bard, Koufax threw hard. Like Bard, Koufax initially struggled as a starter. In 1956 he had a 4.91 ERA and a 1.62 WHIP. Pretty similar to Bard. Based on this I think it's clear that Bard is headed for the Hall of Fame.

    Hansen didn't flame out; he sucked from beginning to end. He could not get major league hitters out at any time. Velocity is the only thing in common. You picked Hansen because he was an easy example of a Red Sox pitcher who failed.

    You can't really compare ERA's of relievers to ERA's of starters. Everyone expected Bard's ERA to be higher as a starter. Craig Hansen never started a game. Brandon Morrow is a much better comp for Bard.

    Aceves is a closer...but he's a heart attack closer.

    Just look at Brandon Morrow, folks. He was a hard-throwing reliever his first two seasons, and now in only his fourth season as a starter, he looks like he may have arrived as a really good one. We're just going to need some patience.
  15. Bellhorn04
    So he's kind of like Bard, except in reverse.
  16. Bellhorn04
    The bottom of the Yankees lineup looks a lot like ours has lately. 3 guys under the Mendoza line.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Yes, they're virtually identical, except that Bard had 3 excellent seasons as one of the top setup men in baseball, and Hansen had none and was consistently atrocious. I think you've hit upon a new way to make direct and meaningful comparisons.

    Oswalt's career numbers vs. AL teams are just OK-3.70 ERA, WHIP a little over 1.3. He's never pitched at Fenway. I'll be surprised if we sign him. If we do he could help. But we better also be prepared to be disappointed. It's not going to be an easy move for a career NL pitcher close to the end of his career coming to the AL East for half a season.
  20. Bellhorn04
    3 good starts, 4 bad starts. In total, mediocre. Numbers consistent with back of the rotation starters across the league. He hasn't benefitted that much from avoiding the better offenses. Texas is arguably the only strong offense in the AL right now. The Rangers and Red Sox are the only 2 teams averaging more than 5 runs per game.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, Gameday showed that pitch was clearly outside. Does MLB realize that their own promotional tool is embarrassing the umps all the time now?

    Yeah, I wasn't happy to see him leave after 2004. Especially with how well he pitched in the postseason.
