    The metrics now take the oddities of certain outfields into consideration. Once upon a time, they didn't, but there are now adjustments made for things like the Green Monster.

    I don't disagree with that. I would expect him to be a better LFer than RFer as well. The other piece of this puzzle is Beni playing in LF versus CF.

    You're using an ESPN poll?

    As I said before, give me teams that are expected to contend going into the season. This has happened every year in the Henry ownership era. What I don't want is a team that we know has no chance going into the season.

    I can be completely on board with this. But I must add that Theo > Ben > Dave
  6. Kimmi
    I love you. That is all.

    No, what we had in March is very relevant. That's the GM's job.

    Seriously, no one can fault a GM for the way the team performed under Valentine. As far as 2014 and 2015, if a team underperforms, is that the fault of the GM? If we extend Betts like everyone here wants to do, and he goes into a complete spiral in the first year of his extension, is that the GM's fault?

    It was not, and yet, the team was predicted to be a playoff contender. While I am not a fan of building an offense first team, it was the offense that was supposed to carry that year's team, while the pitching was supposed to be able to pitch well enough to keep the team in the game. We may not have liked the way the team was constructed, but we still should have competed for a playoff spot.

    Back to back to back. It needed to be said again.
  11. Kimmi
    I don't think that's the point either. I think the point is with the competition within the division. Seattle and Houston have to play Oakland, LAA, and Texas 18 times a piece, while the Red Sox and Yankees play Tampa, Toronto, and Baltimore 18, who are weaker, 18 times a piece.
  12. Kimmi
    Yes, but Fenway's left and right fields play a lot different than most.
  13. Kimmi
    Pitchers like Sale can pitch to anyone, or should be able to. It's the guys like ERod and Price who need that veteran and solid presence behind the plate.

    Good post Hitch.

    2018 Defensive stats for JD: LF: DRS = -4, UZR/150 = -16.8 RF: DRS = -2, UZR/150 = -9.9

    Way to cherry pick just part of his post. Here is the complete post: Very snarky "I told you so" type post. Unfortunately for him, he didn't tell me anything.
  17. Kimmi
    Who said that the two things are mutually exclusive? Division titles and playoff berths would still be in the picture.
  18. Kimmi
    You're scared, aren't you? You should be!
  19. Kimmi
    And the highly rated and appreciated metric folks would be right. But much to your dismay, putting JD in RF has nothing to do with him actually be a good defensive right fielder. It has to do with JD being slightly less bad in RF than he is in LF, and with Beni being way better in LF than he is in CF.
  20. Kimmi
    What harm does it do bringing him in? If he doesn't amount to anything, no harm done. With the peripherals Notin posted, he's worth a shot.
  21. Kimmi
    Sounds good to me.
  22. Kimmi
    Maybe now that Swihart knows that he is the 2nd catcher, he will seize this opportunity and perform like we all hope that he will. I'm pulling for the guy, as I know you are.
  23. Kimmi
    The 5.2 innings don't bother me, per se. What frustrates me is getting ahead 0-2, then rather than attacking the batter and putting him away, the next thing you know, the count is 3-2. I believe it was you who made the comparison to a young Jon Lester. Once Erod learns to pound the zone, he has the stuff to get deeper into games.
  24. Kimmi
    ^^This.

    You have to think outside that box now and then.
