  1. As a comparison, Yasiel Puig was signed in the middle of the 2012 season and played the rest of the year in the Dodger minor leagues. He also missed a year of playing before defecting and, if I remember correctly, he had some "growing pains" with the Dodgers. Jose Abreu never missed significant playing time before defecting and signed his contract in October of 2013. He played a full spring training in 2014. I'm not saying Castillo is as talented as these two. i doubt that he is. But, he probably does need more time before it's a given that he's a failure.
  2. Nope, it's the All Star Game.
  3. The ambulance chaser should change his sig to "King of Hypocrisy".
  4. No one has said Porcello has not sucked. As for starting s***, I haven't seen him call someone a faggot yet. That would be you, cabrón.
  5. Ambivalent, apathetic,... who cares?
  6. I think your first sentence makes the most sense. Beane wanted him gone and he saw a chance to get a young replacement, plus other players. Charrington hasn't made enough mistakes? We have to make them up now?
  7. Really, you think Beane said he was available and the Cherrington just said, "nah"? Anyone here ever heard of Occam's Razor?
  8. Does it matter? The question is can it be fixed?
  9. And lets ignore that Steve Adams writes for MLB Trade Rumors and not a local rag and is based in NYC. I'm sure that if he quoted Shaunghnessy, it would be considered totally legit.
  10. No clue if it was Porcello's idea, or theirs, but someone had better start f***ing with him again. Pull him from the rotation until they straighten him out.
  11. If you're looking for an "ace", it's probably going to take multiple high ceiling A-AA prospects. Throw in a JBJ or Betts and you'll get a pitcher with one or two years of control.
  12. Yup, the pitching staff had it's share of implosions in April and May. But, as you said, the Sox were never in those games, due to a sputtering offense. As the pitching improved, the offense (and defense, for that matter) stagnated and they started started losing close, well pitched games as well. Look at Buchholz's record in May. He had a 3.31 ERA w/ a 1.10 WHIP He was 1-3 that month.
  13. Or Felix! Even though we were doomed from spring training.
  14. And the rest of the division loses again. It's a weak-ass division and the Sox still have a shot.
  15. Yup, then he got a wave of texts, citing even more names.
  16. It's not. Try to keep up...
  17. De Aza ans Rodriguez are the only players worth watching.
  18. No need to apologize. It's interesting info. It'll fall on some deaf ears, because it's not what they've been whining about daily, for four months. But, that's not your problem.
  19. The pitching performance of the last couple of weeks does offer some hope. That and the fact that this is still a weak division. They just need some consistent offense. Too many decent pitching starts have been wasted.
  20. It's probably worth hanging onto Buchholz, to see if he can stay healthy for the entire season. If he can, he's worth the 13 mil extension.
  21. It's got to be North Station. The bit about Remy's accent was pretty funny. As much as Remy butchers players names, I couldn't figure out what was funny about the way he pronounced Bogaert's name. "Naver" always cracks me up.
  22. Yet another subject A700 knows nothing about... Amazing.
  23. They do have the pitching and offensive talent. What they don't have is consistency in both areas. They hit and they don't pitch,or they pitch and don't hit.
