  1. Technically they don’t have a long term contract at SS. They just didn’t like Grissom there…
  2. Who cares? He probably can’t pitch either, but it doesn’t matter since the Sox won’t be using him there…
  3. Until Renfroe…
  4. I meant money. But time is apparently equal to money…
  5. I don’t think they are willing to spend, at least not as much as fans want. Henry wanted Rays-level efficiency. Bloom didn’t deliver. Next up - Breslow. But at no point d did the Sox say anything about going back to being a large market. Kia Sedona’s have full throttle,too…
  6. That’s because Bloom actually made moves. They may have been unpopular, but he did make them…
  7. It’s always fun when the guy who reignites the chat calls for the discussion to stop…
  8. You don’t think maybe only having 80 plate appearances was a factor?
  9. Hopefully Duvall isn’t out the Sox range this year…
  10. Henry could have ordered Dombrowski to trade Betts and then fired him for doing so…
  11. For what? We’d still need a 2b (which would take $10-12mill.) And on its own, that $17mill gets what? Another question mark like Giolito? (Technically it wasn’t enough to get another Giolito.)
  12. Also, “one of the worst pitchers in history” feels a tad melodramatic…
  13. But… but… but… the object of the game is to win…
  14. Yes. Kluber only pitched 55 IP. I expect more from Giolito…
  15. Hey at least I know what if be getting with Stroman…
  16. Reportedly Stroman approached the Yankees and was rebuffed. Since the tYankees were not in on Imanaga, I’m not sure anything there has changed…
  17. Bloom definitely has his dithering moments. But clearly h he was given limited time to maneuver. Breslow appears to be in the same boat…
  18. Yeah I’m not sweating losing Imanaga. I know nothing about him at all and have more faith in Giolito. I didn’t like losing out on Gray, and don’t think I will be too happy when we lose out on Montgomery…
  19. Or the Dodgers…
  20. Do you really think W-L record tells the story for a pitcher? Clemens was losing in the 7th inning of his first 20 strikeout game. Good thing Dwight Evans homered to make Clemens a better pitcher. Pedro was also losing his famous one hit, 17K performance in the Bronx. Thankfully Mike Stanley homered to make Pedro a better pitcher…
  21. Nope! I’m going to keep pretending I can interpret this stuff!
  22. Yes, you can use the eye test on TV to make INCREDIBLY OBVIOUS conclusions, like Kike isn’ta good shortstop. Of course, you could have come to that same conclusion without watching games and just reading box scores…
  23. Does this mean you don’t want to friend me on MySpace?
  24. Of course eye test is different in person than on TV. When you watch a game on TV, you only get to watch what the director shows you. For example, you can watch a hitter hit a flyball, and if you’re seated in a good spot, actually watch the outfielder get a jump on it. On TV, by time the camera cuts to the outfielder, he’s already in motion. And you only see a small area of the park. You missed his jump. You probably didn’t get to see if he took a good route. What exactly are you judging at that point? That he caught the ball? And I think far too many people watch baseball and draw weird conclusions because they don’t understand angles and perspective. I can’t tell you how many people have tried to argue with me that left handed pitchers as are biomechanically different from righties, and they throw across their bodies. And not, you know, that they’ve spent their lives watching baseball get filmed from left-center field…
  25. I’d take both and deal Duran for a RHH RF…
