    The Red Sox right now seem to be a good example of the whole being less than the sum of the parts. Maybe that has a lot to do with dissension and the lingering effects of last year. It's pretty hard to rule that out. I don't think the team should freak out and start making rash moves. That could be disastrous. But if Josh Beckett is the clubhouse cancer and they can make a smart trade for him then sure, do it. In general I think 2012 is probably going to be another one of those years Sox fans are just going to have to suffer out till things get better. Do we have smart people at the top is the real question, I guess.

    Epstein made some bad signings but I don't think there were any instances of him giving away a talented player.

    That's certainly the way it looks right now.

    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.

    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.
