  1. "Progressively worse" means the record gets worse each year...
  2. Unfortunately the HBP ruined his chances to turn things around this year.
  3. Right. That was one of his rare surfacings. Sam Kennedy is the team spokesman since Lucchino left, I'd say.
  4. I was only talking about our domestic drafts and international signings since 2011. Devers of course was an international signing in 2013.
  5. As I say, he was never heard from much. He's not exactly a loquacious guy. You won't find him in any lists of great baseball quotes.
  6. He was never heard from much, really.
  7. I don't know if Bogey's market value is going down, but it should be. His bat has been anemic for a while now.
  8. I honestly don't think Moncada should count. He cost them $63 million. As for the others, which one has the highest career WAR?
  9. JD is hitting 273/344/429 - 772 OPS. None of those are below average. He's been in a slump for a while, though, that's for sure.
  10. And way more than half a dozen who are constantly bashing him. But you still feel the need to go after the half dozen.
  11. There's only one member of the Red Sox organization you can fairly blame for losing Betts, and that's Henry. He clearly sanctioned the hit.
  12. OK, leave him out of it. I think the statement is still accurate. I'm not including the most recent draftees who are too young to judge yet.
  13. Quite possible. But that's not the point. The point is that we only had 2 people here vote great. So all this stuff about Talksox being full of Bloom pom-pom wavers is BS.
  14. We had a poll here on how Bloom is doing. 2 people voted great, 7 voted OK and 4 voted terrible. Yet you persist with this delusion that the board is overrun with blind Bloom followers. Frankly I think it just makes things more fun for you here to keep talking about these blind followers that don't actually exist.
  15. I've seen and heard enough over the years to think that a large number of baseball fans know a fair amount about their team's top prospects.
  16. The struggles of Duran are more evidence of the Red Sox horrendous record of producing players through the draft post-2011.
  17. And you read very selectively here.
  18. I think that's nonsense, frankly.
  19. That figures. You think they're all full of blind, irrational devotion.
  20. The point is that even old-timers never relied totally on the eye test. They looked at box scores, leaders in batting average, home runs and RBI's etc. They sure as heck didn't watch every game. It wasn't even possible to watch most of the games back then.
  21. Saying he's done nothing to warrant optimism seems like a form of denial. 2021 ALCS appearance. Big improvement in farm ranking.
  22. I think there's something about the word 'metrics' that bugs a lot of people.
  23. That's the pessimistic take, sure. I'm hoping it goes the other way.
  24. Story's career fWAR per game is just a little lower than Bogey's. And fWAR does take into account the Coors Park Factor.
