  1. His career BB/9 is over 4. I think that's the difference between him being a top of the rotation starter, and being a number 3.
  2. Red Sox are -118 today. O/U at 9.5. I'm going to go with the Red Sox 6-4.
  3. The 4.70 BB/9 really worries me.
  4. I was just joking, Thunder.
  5. Ban Thunder from making game threads
  6. Red Sox -109 tonight. Gausmann isn't ready for the majors.
  7. We may have the depth, but I don't think we have the front of the line starters to match up with Detroit.
  8. Happy belated birthday!
  9. I had my doubts about this team. I pegged them for a 3rd place finish. Still have some concerns about the rotation, but we have a strong offense and bullpen. Cherrington has done a good job cleaning up the mess of 2012 without giving up any long term pieces. The future looks pretty bright for the Red Sox. I think a championship window is starting to open up. Unthinkable 10 months ago.
  10. Hopefully Lackey's streak of poor run support ends tonight.
  11. If Lee was on a one year deal would you make a trade for him?
  12. I disagree. Our highest leveraged innings are manned by three elite options. We also have two quality left-handers in Breslow and Miller. The only problem is that we lack a long reliever, and maybe a sixth option. I would hardly call those issues pressing. As it stands right now, our fourth spot in the playoffs would be pitched by Ryan Dempster. I'd rather slide Lackey to that spot, and acquire Cliff Lee.
  13. I think he'd still be an elite option at 1B. My only issues with Mauer is whether he'd maintain his value relative to contract going forward, and whether he'd be worth parting with a lot of talent. Maybe if we assumed the contract, we wouldn't have to give up as much. I'd still guess the Twins would want back three quality prospects.
  14. They should do what the NFL did to their exhibition game.
  15. It's a shame some idiot team (Mariners) will give Ellsbury close to $100 million. I'd love to keep him at 4/52.
  16. In that case, I agree with you. 4th in WAR, tied for 6th in RC+, 1st in OBP since 2007. All while catching.
  17. Because it's only been two innings.
  18. He's not even the MVP of the Red Sox.
  19. Also, adding fourth and fifth options relievers aren't that costly in terms of prospects. Oliver Perez could probably be had for a Brian Johnson type prospect.
  20. Yeah, he's top 20 for sure, but not that elite.
  21. Red Sox huge favorites today at -170. Books also expecting a slugfest with the O/U at 10 getting juiced at -130. Going with the Red Sox -1.5 at +115. 8-5, Red Sox.
  22. I don't think Mauer is available, but he's the type of player they should be looking to add. Impact players, who can help the Red Sox win the division, and make a deep run in October.
  23. Keppinger and Bauer both suck. Longoria is a franchise player.
