    yeah, change 'em back to the regular unis. i hate those damn things.

    overall OPS is 7th, as is slugging. OBP is 10th. definitely could use some more pop. the Braves top 5 players combined have 20 more home runs than the entire Red Sox team. overall, i say a bit above mediocre but still good enough to make the playoffs if the pitching and defense weren't so freakin' awful.
  3. Duran Is The Man
    the Sox are top 7 or better in most every offensive category except home runs (17th), triples (21st) and walks (23rd). interestingly, they are 3rd in hits, yet they drop to 7th in total bases. lots of singles and doubles leading to lots of runs. and lots of runners LOB. it would be nice to see more walks and a bit more power next season. with that said, the offense was good enough to get us into the postseason this year, it was the pitching that did us in.
  4. Duran Is The Man
    good gawd, really? they give input that leads to decisions.
  5. Duran Is The Man
    i agree. Martin has been money all season long. wish we had 6 more just like him.
  6. Duran Is The Man
    LOL, no. if this is the best his analytics dept can do, then well....maybe they need to be fired too.
  7. Duran Is The Man
    ok, i worded it poorly, but yes, i meant the team was awful, not the draft picks. my bad. we did get some nice draft picks. i'm really excited about Teel.
  8. Duran Is The Man
    you're right. if he was hired to tank the franchise to improve their draft picks then sure, he should be graded higher.
  9. Duran Is The Man
    i didn't say the draft picks were awful, Moon. i said giving him a high grade for FINISHING LAST and getting high draft picks was wrong.
  10. Duran Is The Man
    what is truly funny is thinking CB gets a B or B-. AYFKM? i think you are usually very fair-minded but ...c'mon man.
  11. Duran Is The Man
    they have been laughably bad, in large part due to CB.
  12. Duran Is The Man
    count it or dont. MLB counts it. had they not finished EXACTLY where i thought they'd finish this year, i might be inclined to give him a better grade. and i don't think he should get a higher grade due to better draft picks because they were so freakin' awful.
  13. Duran Is The Man
    Three times in four years gets a solid F from me.
  14. Duran Is The Man
    that would be nice. i know several on here love him, but i've had about all the Cora i can stand.
  15. Duran Is The Man
    exactly.
  16. Duran Is The Man
    four years. even better.
  17. Duran Is The Man
    i don't believe the "cancer" rumors at all. Dugo is an emotional guy. i like that. and i don't have a problem extending Dugo, if the price was right. yes, LF is the best place for Duran.
  18. Duran Is The Man
    i had no idea they were so close in age. i like Dugo and have absolutely nothing against him, including whatever real or perceived "clubhouse cancer" rumor that is going around. but the fact is, he just doesn't do anything for me. his numbers are steady yet, to me, IDK...unimpressive. as you know, he's eligible after next year, Duran two years after that. Duran's fWAR is slightly higher than Dugo's (2.3 to 2.2)in less games and his OPS+ is higher (120-103). i just see more potential with Duran. maybe i'm wrong. i'm just saying, i'd keep Jarren over Alex. with that said, i wouldn't get pissed if they traded Duran for quality SP. i never said "the Sox need to act like a large market team".
  19. Duran Is The Man
    i think Dugo has peaked. he is what he is with no more upside. otoh, i think we have yet to see Duran's potential. with that in mind, i'd trade Dugo.
  20. Duran Is The Man
    that wouldn't hurt my feelings. a lot of money for a singles-hitting DH.
  21. Duran Is The Man
    yes.
  22. Duran Is The Man
    you get my vote.
  23. Duran Is The Man
    it's all part of Bloom's 15 year plan. you'll see.
  24. Duran Is The Man
    i'm not in Houston but i can see that. if we had done the same, there'd be very little bitching and moaning about losing Mookie (myself included).
  25. Duran Is The Man
    apparently i'm part of this "posse" myself. LOL. i had no idea. you know how i feel about Bloom and i'd fire him today if i was JH. at the same time, if DD were still here and done EXACTLY what Bloom has done, i'd fire him too. but that's just me. i can only take so much s***** pitching, s***** fundamentals and losing. and instead of trying to be "Tampa North" maybe JH should try to be "Atlanta North". 21 NL east titles since 1991 with jsut one last place finish in that same time period and their payroll consistently runs about 10th.
