    Exactly. Let's give the man his chance.

    Who did Beckett blame for what happened on the field?
  4. Bellhorn04
    My guess is he's probably done talking to the media about this stuff now. We'll see.
  5. Bellhorn04
    But when he wasn't talking about what happened last year he was getting reamed for that. Now he sits down and gives his view of what happened and he gets reamed for being outspoken.

    People need to read the other stuff that's in the interview too. He talks about how happy he is, how he loves the city of Boston and the fans etc. If you try to take in the big picture, Beckett comes across to me as a very honest guy. He gives a lot of detail about his conditioning and why he gained weight and stuff like that. He's not nearly as sour as people are trying to make him out to be.

    Props to Jason and hey, why not some props for Dan Duquette for stealing VTek and D-Lowe from Seattle. One of the best moves in the organization's history.

    As for the 13 wins last year, it should have been 18 easily. He got lousy run support, it was just bad luck. When you throw 193 innings with a 2.89 ERA for the best-hitting team in baseball, it's bad luck to only win 13 games.

    I just read the excerpts from the interview with Beckett on the WEEI website. Beckett seemed most upset about the snitching that related to Francona. Most of the stuff he said seemed positive to me.

    Adding to the conundrum with Crawford is his poor numbers against lefties. 262/308/375 lifetime and 195/249/317 last year. I wonder if Bobby V would consider batting him in different spots based on the starter. Or if he's more interested in fixing his swing.
  16. Bellhorn04
    I think you're actually touching on one of the reasons Theo may have been so eager about acquiring Crawford. Having a team that is built for Fenway has often meant having a team that is lousy on the road. I think Theo believed that Crawford's speed and defence would make this a better road team.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Yes, it will be.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I'm sure the genius Bobby V can figure out this lineup stuff without breaking a sweat.

    Gotta correct one thing there Fred. In 2009 when Ellsbury when struggling they tried Pedroia at leadoff. He hit 219/287/333 in 116 PA and they got him the hell out of there. Pedroia made some pointed comments about how batting leadoff changed his hitting approach and how he had trouble adapting to it.

    Speaking of Oscars, does anybody know if Brad Pitt uses the term 'low risk, high reward' in Moneyball?

    The Yankees put two penny stocks in their rotation last year and got high returns on both. There are actually a fair number of these stocks that hit, because baseball is such a weirdly unpredictable sport. That's why GM's keep buying them. Cherington couldn't get enough of them this offseason.
  23. Bellhorn04
    OK, I will buy relatively low risk, relatively high reward. To me the thing causing the confusion is what the term risk means here. I've always interpreted low risk/high reward as implying that if it fails, you're not going to lose that much on it. I might argue that Aceves was low risk, high reward. Especially because it's one of the few of ours that actually succeeded.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Billy Beane calls the A's acquisition of Manny Ramirez low risk, high reward.
  25. Bellhorn04
    It seems to me Terry Ryan was saying high risk of failure, high reward if successful. And he was leaving out the financial part altogether. How much money did they lose with Zumaya?
