  1. Buch was a big part of 2013 for the 1 st half of the season he was about the best pitcher in baseball.
  2. I would put Boegarts second, Beni third and Betts fourth. Pablo doesn't walk enough for me to bat him second. Then Hanley 5, Pablo, Moreland, catcher , and JBJ ninth, that's where he has had the most success.
  3. So you go to worst case scenario
  4. So do all the other playoff contenders
  5. Pitcher health is a concern with every team.
  6. No reason for Porcello not to match last year had similar year in 14. Wright missed 2 months even if he's not as good you have an extra 2 months. EROD looks like he's ready to take the next step. Prices throwing program according t Farrell can start at anytime. Pom taking his regular turn Friday. Thorn burg pitching Friday and a bullpen with many hard throwers and depth. They had 5 less wins then they should have last year, possible but I find it hard to believe they can't match there win total from last year.
  7. I would like to hear your thought process Sale will be an upgrade over last years Price Erod should definitely be better then last year. Wright missed the last 2 months of last season and pPorcello is just hitting his prime. Not one doctor has said that Price needs surgery. Last year they had numerous replacement level starts from OSullivan, Owens, Bucholtz and Kelly. The bullpen didn't have Carson Smith last year or Thornburg, I would guess one of them at least will be effective. Kelly was lights out in September and October. Looks like Hembree and Barnes can take the next step. Have 4 lefties to choose from plus some minor league depth. Don't think worst case scenario will happen with all there pitchers.
  8. Sale has struck out 7 of the 9 batters he's faced against the Yankees. Going to be fun to watch him this year.
  9. We were 20 and 24 in one run games last year with our run differential we should have won 98 games. Our young core is a year older and should keep getting better, negativity about this team makes absolutely no sense.
  10. We will know more tonight. If Sox doctors say he's fine to start throwing with more intensity, we are looking at late April early May.
  11. I'm more confident price will have more starts the. Carrasco and Salazar.
  12. By the way I got that on the Sons of Sam Horn forum under the Marco Hernandez thread.
  13. Bill James said I believe last October he wouldn't trade Marco for Josh Donaldson, Machado oo Arrenado straight up. That is crazy, and probably not true, but shows that he is viewed quite highly.
  14. That also is what I was saying, no way did they not need to acquire a starter.
  15. It's easy now to say we didn't have to do anything after the fact, at that point in the season it was clear we needed to make a trade, you could not count on Buch and Erod rebounding. Pom actually gave us some very valuable start in August that could have gone to Elias, Osullivan or Owens, which would not have been ideal.
  16. Of course at that time we needed a starter, we had Porcello, Price and Wright and some really bad starts from everybody else. We stayed ahead of the market for Pom. The return on Rich Hill was even worse. Beane was also asking for Espi for Hill , an upcoming free agent who was injured. for it to work out for us Pom has to stay healthy, but Espi is a long way from being a major league pitcher and a lot of factors can impede his development.
  17. Some really bad baseball from the Netherlands. Some really good baseball from Molina.
  18. True, but if we only need him for a start or two shouldn't risk losing our depth that early in the season.
  19. The problem with starting Kendrick to start the season is if we send him down we will lose him. We signed him as a minor league free agent, have to put him on the 40 man roster if we option him back to the minors he becomes a free agent.
  20. I think the biggest reason they are down on him is because of Espinoza. If he stays healthy( which is a big if ) I think he will be solid. Very good for a number 5 starter, but you don't trade a prospect like Espi for a number 5.
  21. Whenever a 6 or 7 starter can give you 5 good starts that's a win. You just have to hope you don't need him for twenty starts.
  22. The recency bias is just not Pom it's any player who is struggling.
  23. I would agree with you on Kendrick, but I'm holding out hope Bannister worked with him and fixed something. Probably not but you never know.
  24. No reason to jump off the ledge if worst case scenario with both pitchers, which I doubt. We still have 4 solid starters.
