True. One of those seasons he was saddled with payroll limitations (and forced to trade Marco Scutaro), and saddled with the incompetent Bobby Valentine. His signings of Hanley (which I liked) and Sandoval (which I hated) certainly were bad moves for the franchise. Castillo will likely be another failure, although Rusney has shown enough of a glimmer that the jury should still be out a bit longer...

Bill Simmons summed it up best in the book title - “Now I Can Die In Peace”...

That wasn’t the question. All I asked was if they were here posting the same numbers, would you expect the Sox to give up on them? This isn’t a question about re-arranging trades; it’s about what is expected from a prospect and how quickly.

Which means he might be on the radar. With Swihart moving to backup, the Sox do have room for him (or any upgrade, really)...

Pre-Henry era, a lot of fans said that. But the past 15 years have spoiled a lot of Sox fans...

If the Sox want to upgrade 2B, the Tigers just DFA'd Dixon Machado. I know Machado was only hitting .206/.263/.290, but he hasl had a .249 BABIP. On top of that, per fangraphs, he had a 25% line drive rate. Only one other player in MLB had a line drive rate of 25% or more and a BBIP of .249 or less, and that is Anthony Rizzo. Machado also had a 32% hard hit rate, which puts him about 15th in MLB for 2B. And naturalyy, he posts positive defensive numbers. Best of all - he's free...

They are the most recent New York team to appear in the World Series...

He's the Vice President of Baseball Operations. And apparently in charge of building the farm system...

To be fair, all of those assets have had very little chance yet. Some haven't had any chance. If Margot or Moncada were putting up the same numbers here, would you think the Sox should give up on them?

Ironic you ask they “groom” a young starter.,,

For zero risk minor league deals, why not? There are some it made sense to avoid, but plenty of others that it didn’t...
-
So we’re going to use half a season of data vs the careers that brought them to free agency? If the Sox need Jalen Beeks to make key starts in September, will you be defending him over Hellickson or Lynn? Is Swihart the better than Lucroy?
-
Yes. But then they play one game and not a series. And right up to that last game, the NFL does use best record to determine home field...

Jason Giambi denied using steroids all the way through to the end of his public apology for using steroids...

He seems to hate John Henry and is disappointed that JH is ony willing to spend about a quarter billion dollars per year for out entertainment. Considering collectively we spend 0 dollars for his entertainment, I might say we have some reasons to be grateful for the man SBF repeatedly calls "Pruneface"...

You know, you are making too big a deal out of the offhand comment of the hat and ignoring the real problem with Rodney. His lack of control and the subsequent abundance of walks has caused tons of issues throughout his career...
-
Mike Moustakas, Lance Lynn, Doug Fister, Jeremy Hellickson, Jonathan Lucroy, Jason Vargas. Probably a few more...

Why not just use best record like every other team sport on planet Earth?

Has any player ever taken a pay cut or status quo salary after arbitration?

Rodney struggles to throw strikes and has averaged over 4BB/9 throughout his career. Relievers who put men on base late in the game are very often a bad thing...
-
I don’t think Bradley sucks. I do think he’s the only starting position player the Sox can come close to replacing internally...
-
I do hate his hat tilt, but it was in jest. I assumed he did it for the same reason Pedro Strop does - to keep from hitting it with his arm while pitching. Rodney has a long career history of being wild. He lets on too many base runners and only survived because his current role lets him start mostly clean innings. He’s not a good idea for the Sox...

Anyone who doubts this needs to go to freeforums and try to debate PumpsieGreen or seabeachfred. Although Joebreidey does post there and he may have been the most rational of all the BDC posters...
