Casas didn't show much interest in signing long term for what the Sox were offering. He is pretty confident with respect to what he can do I think.
-
I loved the initial deal as well as the extension and I wish that he was still here.
-
I can be a real sucker for sure, but what he said makes sense to me. If they actually commit to playing the younger potential, I'll likely watch at least for a while. I would still like to see a Mongomery signing but not at ace money.
-
I don't think that I would trade Duran until knowing what he really is capable of doing. He has the potential to do things that no one else on the roster can do. Yoshida is the dh and gets some time in the outfield. I don't think that Devers goes anywhere on this team but third. If they are really concerned about the defense, they have to have someone at second who can make the plays and a better catcher. if they don't sign a free agent pitcher, I think we need to settle in and live with what we got.
-
I agree with you about that outfield. Two out of the 3 could provide excellent defense for a change out there. Who knows about the third member of the trio Duran. With his game changing potential, it would be worth it to me to stick him out there somewhere just to see what he's got. Got to do some more thinking about the bench. I actually am starting to see a little hope for optimism with this year's bunch. I would still like to see that one more decent arm signed. They certainly look like they could run, hit, and score!
-
I must be missing something once again. Rafaela should be the starting cf for this team. He is 23 with a pretty good set of tools to work with. Duran and O'neil would be the other two out there. You have a dh to use as well. Having him in center makes us at least a little better up the middle.
-
same with Cron and numerous others I guess
-
Lynn, Rice, and Evans for me. Who are those other guys you mentioned?
-
I have been reading a bit about O'Neil. Nothing that I have read or heard makes me dislike him.
-
someone said something about something so it must be true:p notin - this is just an example of my sense of humor.
-
I was actually trying to make a point. if your sixth best prospect is a young second baseman why in the hell would you trade for another who may or may not be able to field the position.
-
Hey - throw enough crap against that old wall something is likely to stick.
-
You sound like you have experience as a financial consultant.
-
Interesting to me that Yorke is sixth on the prospects list.
-
If they choose to pay him a grotesque amount of money, it certainly would appear that they are desperate. Wait - they are desperate. they really haven't done anything that amounts to anything so far to address the most glaring need that they have.
-
Oh i got it - a trick question. when I say that a pitcher who had a total of 2500 innings and an era over 4.5 wasn't all that very good, you have an ACE up your sleeve. hmmm-
-
It troubles me that they couldn't just come out and say what most already know.
-
As much as i want to see this Grissom kid do really well, it is a trade that I never would have made. I'm giving the front office credit for just being fed up with paying for Sale while he has been unable to play. If that was the rationale, then to me it makes sense. Trying to justify it as a anything but makes none. they cut bait - i'm going with that. Bringing in an untried glove to play second regardless of the potential for any kind of serviceable pitcher just seems so foolish.
-
Hey - you see - right there- clears everything up. Nolan Ryan has set this great debate to rest - A pitcher's win loss record is meaningless! lol
-
I'm not sure that even a vintage Sale would push us over the top but it would at least give me some reason to be interested.
-
I can't say that I'm not enjoying this conversation and i'm not looking for any type of validation when it comes to the way I might judge an athlete's talent. I think that it is obvious that you need to use as much info statistically for sure that you can get to judge or compare talent. I don't tend to focus on the outliers, although I know that they exist, to prove some point. Better players tend to have more positive statistics of all kinds then poorer players. I like better players.lol
-
Might make a difference where you chose to take his temp I guess.
-
I knew that I shouldn't have done this. I like my way of looking at and evaluating athletic talent too much to change I guess.
-
i think that if you are going to make a worthwhile evaluation of any athlete in any game you better access all the available information about that athlete that you can get your hands on.
-
Am i on fairly safe ground if I suggest that pitchers with similar stats to the ones that you listed tend to win more games than pitchers with poorer stats?
