    Even as a huge Swilhart fan, one thing I will say (and this is quite possibly down to a lack of time) but he doesn't seem to have much gravitas about him when he's catching. I never feel like he is in control of things out there, or willing to put a fire out with one of his pitchers. It's like he's simply playing the position rather than owning it, if that makes sense.

    Donaldson might be a nice pick up for someone this year if his market has deflated over health concerns.
  3. Hitch
    You're right. He would have been a total flop if it wasn't for his great trades, his great drafting and use of the International players and winning a World Series. If only he hadn't come here and left a foundation for the most dominant team in Red Sox history and ANOTHER World Series.

    Benitendi's defence in particular was off the charts this post season. That game ending catch against Houston will live long in the memory...

    Yes. The point being that one of the reasons moon used against Pearce was that he only had a certain amount of impact with his bat was the same reason he thought JBJ was worthy. Regardless of pitching. To be honest, I don't care that much. It could have been one of a few guys who won it. I'm glad Pearce won it and felt he deserved it as every time he hit a homer or his bases clearing double felt a huge moment in our wins. Every hit. But Price was superb. Evoaldi was heroic. They all deserved it. I'm kinda glad Pearce got it because of his journey too. Plus Price and Evoaldi have been showered - rightly - with praise, so they've not lost out.

    I can't see a deal we could to that would make it worth it. Not for what they'll ask.
  7. Hitch
    Haha I bet! I've been there my friend, all worth it though. I like Newcastle. Great city and people.
  8. Hitch
    Worth pointing out that Moreland's awesome first half was part of the reason we got off to such a great start. It was another very good move to re-sign him.
  9. Hitch
    How many years of control does he have?
  10. Hitch
    I was happy with both trades. I didn't feel too strongly on either until the facts were in. And now they are they were very much great trades for us. Good ole Ben.
  11. Hitch
    This is a good summation of situation. What part of the UK, you from Tom?
  12. Hitch
    Yup, exactly that. Some of the moves people criticised Cherington for turned out to be a huge part of us dominating this year and picking up the Championship. Tenures are always best reviewed a few years later. But there's little patience for that sort of thing.
  13. Hitch
    When somebody suggested he should be MVP at the end of game 5 you said that there was no doubt about it. Seems weird that a guy that did less than Pearce with far more at bats is considered a shoe-in when Pearce isn't. Good pitching performance from Price or not.
  14. Hitch
    Absolutely. I still feel we will be one of the three or four teams most likely to win it. I'd take sneaking in through the wild card game if it meant a repeat.
  15. Hitch
    But you were adamant that JBJ should have had ALCS MVP right? What's the difference there?
  16. Hitch
    There'll be no more of it from me. I'll be ignoring him from here on out. To paraphrase Mr Gillum "Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty, but the pig likes it."
  17. Hitch
    Quite literally one page apart. I think its clear who has the confused mind. The fact one of your first thoughts was to even a score with somebody just after we had won the WS says all we need to know. But hey, like I say. That's fine. It's your personality. I'll leave you to this odd bitterness. I don't enjoy speaking to you at the best of times, but it's even worse when you're struggling to keep up with your own words, never mind mine.
  18. Hitch
    Almost certainly. It will be near impossible to to this. It was as perfect a season as we could have dreamt.
  19. Hitch
    Not to mention his clutch hits in game 4.
  20. Hitch
    If offered the opportunity, I would take that right now. I want as much of this team back together as possible for one more year.
  21. Hitch
    Yeah the options for closer on the free agent market seem pretty stacked this year. I'm betting at least some will take money lower than they originally would have thought they could get.
  22. Hitch
    It truly is. They are damned near impossible to listen to.
  23. Hitch
    Yup! And there's moves not mentioned there (the Moreland re-signing for example), that also worked. He and Cora did very, very, little wrong this year. Absolutely incredible years for both. We are incredibly lucky to have them.
  24. Hitch
    Again, we both know this isn't true, but you admittance that you wanted a target backs up my point rather nicely. It's beyond petty and odd that your reaction to winning the world series was to want to do this, but hey, each to their own. I guess people get to enjoy the end of an astonishing season in different ways.
  25. Hitch
    I think we both know I couldn't be the target, seeing as I've been complimentary of Dombrowski and never found the urge to waste my time arguing who is the best between him and Ben. We have been lucky to have Theo, Ben, and Dombrowski.
