    Political discussions only belong in a thread of their own.

    So you are on record that Beckett was an ace in 2011. (5th in the AL in ERA)

    This is kind of astonishing, but I really like it. Go Gonzo. Careful out there, dude.

    Maybe the key point about Bard right now is that we suddenly have a lot more depth in our relief pitching than we do in our starting pitching. Our bullpen has been performing well for some time now, and we have Tazawa, Mortensen and Melancon in the minors, and Bailey to return at some point. The depth for our starting rotation is thin, even if we do sign Oswalt.

    Some numbers that back up Dojji's point about Bard's numbers not being that bad. Yankees Kuroda 4.56 Hughes 5.23 Nova 5.69 Orioles Arrieta 4.72 Hunter 5.07 Matusz 5.36

    Nor do we know if Feliz's problem is related to overtaxing his arm as a starter. It's certainly a possibility though, considering the timing.

    He pitched 3 games in a row May 10-11-12, 58 pitches total. The last 2 games he threw 32 pitches total. So he might be available.

    Feliz was just placed on the DL with elbow inflammation.

    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.
