    Thats a bold quote and flies in the face of the facts. Yes, its been mediocre over the short term. But last I checked we were second in runs and OPS, even with all those position players out. Eck made a mistake: its our pitching, and its always been our pitching, at least for the last few years.

    Youkilis strikes out for the last out. How appropriate. The season may not be over, but its close. Closer than yesterday. Our FO has to make a move very very soon.

    Youk up for the last out. Fitting.

    Checked it out. Gonzo is at 137. There are many good-but-not-great players in that range IMO. As I said, it all depends on how you define "great".

    Thanks, but I am not discounting this season at all. It all counts. Let me look at it.

    Where? Got the link?

    The LA Kings, the #8 seed, is about to take the Stanley Cup away from the Bruins. They lead 4-0. Congratulations to them and their fans. First cup for the franchise, I believe.

    Its more like a slow poisoning.

    I think OPS is the single most useful statistic to determine the value of an offensive player. I can understand the arguement for using OPS+. Can you find a list of all time OPS+ leaders? I can't.

    Another loss. When will our FO do something, anything, to shake things up for this team? Probably not until its too late...then the excuses. Its not going to be a pretty sight. In fact, its going to get really brutal if this continues.

    I do have high standards when it comes to calling a player "great". Gonzalez's career OPS is a tad under .880. The immortal Tim Salmon, who played in a cavern incidentally, had a career OPS of .884. Bobby Abreu is not a "great" hitter IMO; his career OPS was .876. Teixeira has a career OPS of .900, better than Gonzalez. Is he "great"? He is closer than Gonzalez. For me, to be great your OPS is over .900.

    Too bad about that. The Giants have a very good team. As do the Patriots. I think the Patriots have the quintessentially well run organization. No loudmouths doing a lot of talking. Winning seasons every year. Fun to watch. They run a very tight ship; very professional.

    Yeah, and if they can just do that for the rest of the season we can all focus on football in October.

    His OPS is .008 better at Fenway. Insignificant. Also, Nomar played at Fenway, but some of the others on my list did not. McGuire played in a cavernous park. Bonds played in a big park too. And no matter where they played, half their games were away games. Sorry. I don't think Gonzalez is a great hitter. He can be good (B-B+); not a grade A hitter. Ever.
  16. FredLynn
    The more Youkilis plays, the lower his value to other teams.
  17. FredLynn
    Yup. Do you consider Teixeira to be a "great hitter"? How about Bobby Abreu? Or Nomar? Or Tim Salmon? All those guys have a career OPS either better than Gonzalez or very close to him. I think that Gonzalez is a good hitter who is crap for us this year. Depends on how you define "great". Albert Pujols is a great hitter. So were Ted Williams and Barry Bonds. And Manny and McGuire. Gonzalez is good when he is hitting the ball; not great, no.
  18. FredLynn
    Agon did what Agon does. I am getting tired of listening to these announcers telling everyone the Gonzalez is a "great hitter". He isn't.
  19. FredLynn
    Beckett should not be up there.

    Albers is reported to have the best abs on the team.
  23. FredLynn
    This team looks dead. If Cherries doesn't make a move within a couple of weeks, they could BE dead. How many games out would it take for you to say that the season is over in June. I say 10 games out and we should become sellers at the ASB.
  24. FredLynn
    No way would I showcase Youkilis if this is all he does. He is getting close to the Mendoza line.

    The groups that depend on the blubber animals are the most fortunate in the hunting way of life, for they never suffer from fat-hunger. This trouble is worst, so far as North America is concerned, among those forest Guardians who depend at times on rabbits, the leanest animal in the North, and who develop the extreme fat-hunger known as rabbit-starvation. Rabbit eaters, if they have no fat from another source—beaver, moose, fish—will develop diarrhea in about a week, with headache, lassitude and vague discomfort. If there are enough rabbits, the people eat till their stomachs are distended; but no matter how much they eat they feel unsatisfied. Some think a man will die sooner if he eats continually of fat-free meat than if he eats nothing, but this is a belief on which sufficient evidence for a decision has not been gathered in the North. Deaths from rabbit-starvation, or from the eating of other skinny meat, are rare; for everyone understands the principle, and any possible preventive steps are naturally taken.
