Youkilis hit .190 after Aug 1 last year. He is still not hitting. Time to get just a little concerned? Probably.
-
You are really going to use the level of competition as an excuse for a 1-5 start? When one of those teams we lost to was the JAYS? Give me a break.
-
-
I expected more out of Youkilis; he isn't as talented as he used to be. And McDonald simply doesn't belong in anyone's starting lineup. Nor does Cody Ross. Both of those guys should be backups at best. And nearly the whole pitching staff is mediocre.

Ricky Romero retires 14 of our pathetic hitters in a row. Guess one win in Toronto is going to do it. 1-5 here we come!
-
This team just doesn't have a lot of talent IMO. Not enough to make the playoffs this year.
-
Going home with a 1-5 record is really going to suck
-
-
Youkilis is lost out there. I won't miss him next year.
-
Behind again....yawwwwwwwwwwwwwn.
-
Win tomorrow and this was still a good series for us. Good thoughts people.
-
Then Miller and Bowden. And Melancon. Who does that leave? Oh yeah. Atchison. He can go too.
-
Well its been nice visiting with you all.....just drove 600 miles and got home to see THIS. Just great. Gonna have to win tomorrow. Period.
-
Thomas is going to walk in a run.....
-
Hey-one win in a row isn't bad, right?
-
You are welcome. There is more there too. Go to ESPN.COM and scroll down to the MLB link and choose STATS.

Its going to be Salty and Shoppach this year. I think Lavarnway will eventually deserve a shot in the majors though. His offensive upside is probably much higher than Salty's, and his defense is improving. The Red Sox will need to decide who to choose because both Salty and Lavarnway are going to be major league caliber starting catchers, probably by next year. Its a good position to be in, having to choose between two decent catchers.
-
Well, the truth is that the Royals had a catcher last year (didn't check to see if he is still a Royal) who finished fifth in OPS for the year, Salty being twelfth. There certainly are catchers who are better than Salty, but that doesn't make him the worst ever. Check out the ESPN stat sheet here: http://espn.go.com/mlb/stats/batting/_/year/2011/position/c/league/al/sort/OPS/qualified/false Its a great site to look up all kinds of things. You may already be familiar with it.
-
In terms of FP he ranked at #30 of 40 last year, but its really not much different than the top 10 in terms of errors. His WAR, if you like those stats, is 0.7, about average. I don't have access here to his defensive rating or % of base stealers thrown out (my guess is that its about average). Worse ever? Not close to that. But we could do better, and we will do better, when Lavarnway is promoted.
-
He isn't leaving anything over the plate. All of his pitches seem to be on the corners. Thats what I saw anyway.
-
Salty has gotten off to a slow start. I am not his biggest fan. I would like a guy like Avila who beat us a couple of games ago. Salty finished at 12th in OPS among all catchers last year. Interestingly, Lavarnway finished 11th. Salty certainly isn't "the worst catcher of all time" by any means, but Lavarnway needs to be promoted very soon. With some time in the ML he could really blossom into a top tier catcher offensively and probably adequate defensively.

Hard to deny these facts. Beckett has been grossly inconsistent during his stay here. As you have shown, every other year he is not good at all. This is the even year and if history is to repeat itself as it so often does, he will be above his average ERA with the Sox of about 4.03. Also, I remember watching him a few years ago in the playoffs against the Rays when his velocity was upper 80s to 90. He also denied being hurt then, as he is denying it now. I am willing to give him another start or two before I say that he is lying for sure about being hurt. Its all very suspicious right now. -
HAHAHAHA I was planning on selling that video. I made it yesterday and already its been pilfered from Youtube for everyone else to use.
