Lackey never earned the money he got.... His best season is arguably 19-9 with a 3.01 era ( the only time he's ever been even close to a 3.00 era, next best was 3.50 ) you can not in good faith compare lackey to papelbon
-
2010 37 svs 2009 38 svs... 1.85 era in 09??? Decidedly not as good??
-
Papelbon 2007 WS...3 gms 4.1 ip 2 hits 0.00 era 3 saves Holds the MLB record for most scoreless playoff innings to start a career -26 Playoff career.... 18 gms 27 ip 23k 3runs 1.00 era 7 svs .815 whip.... And your half right.... Cause pap made peanuts for money when he recorded those stats.... Like most young closers that win.... They eventually get their money
-
He's a superstar for his position.... Take away the angel series in the playoffs, and over the last 4 yrs ,as a whole, there's 2 guys.... Mariano and pap....I can't bring myself to even type the dollar amount we are paying lackey and Crawford.... Or the money we gave away to drew..... Papelbon has been one of the 2 best closers in MLB..... He deserved to be paid, plain and simple
-
Who's to say he's going to get injured though?? In all sports, there are guys that constantly stay hurt it seems, there are freak accidents, but the majority of pro-athletes go their entire careers without ever suffering any type of major injury.... I just don't think that's a good way to manage a sports franchise.... We can't re-sign this guy, cause he "might" get hurt...... I don't buy it, not for a second
-
Then how smart do they look signing a guy like Bailey as his replacement, who should legally change his name to Andrew " DL" Bailey ? Lol
-
Ok, 1st I realize we can't compare pap to mariano at this point, and 2nd saves haven't been a recorded stat for that long....... But papelbon is the fastest closer to 200 saves and it's pretty safe to say that if the rest of his career stays on track , that he then WOULD be in the same league as Mariano ? And at the end of his career, noone will ever question paying him what they payed him.... Side note....this is the 3rd time today I've seen the Charles Barkley in a dress weight watchers commercial..... Why chuck??? Is money really that tight????
-
Just wondering, haven't caught any Philly gms.... Does pap have an " entrance song"? Wonder if he's trying to get the drop kick murphys to make him a "shipping down to Philly" jig lol
-
I agree that even if aceves blew another save last night, that bard will get more than 1 start.... Do I think it would be atleast 5 starts? God forbid, but if bard has 3 horrible starts, I think the experiment would be over..... I'm torn over this because I DO realize how valuable bard " could " be as a starter,but I've been a sox fan long enough to know that you need a bullpen to win gms..... Not every yr can be like 2007...... I know I'm beating a dead horse, but why does a team that pretty much prints there own money,let a guy like pap walk to save a few bucks......will be a couple months before I make it back to Boston to catch a few sox gms, I've been lucky enough that the last 3 gms I've been too have required pap coming in for a save....... When "shipping up to Boston " came over the speakers there was an energy that comes over the crowd that was indescribable ...... I can't imagine it'll ever be the same........
-
Nothing better than kicking back and watching a sox gm....during a gm we'll love and hate them every other inning, we'll curse upper management for being idiots, who ever recorded the last out is our least favorite player until the next guy k's, we hate our starters, loathe our bullpen...... But after the game is over, win or lose, I love my sox and wouldn't trade them for anything in the world
-
Lmao.... I did
-
Well..... Here we go....God I miss pap
-
-
