Im just glad that I dont have to moderate anymore. Just moved back to NH. Good to be back home

Hey King!!! and all other BDC alumni howve ya been? I, as well as a few others, got locked out of BDC forums. They contacted us with a long letter stating that they were closing the forums down may 31st, so I stopped posting there over a month ago I think.. I started coming here about a week or so ago and so far have nothing but great things to say about those Ive interacted with. Im headed back to NH for a while so Ill be here on and off for the next couple weeks. looking forward to talking to everyone again.

I have seen nothing but great plays from Shaw...hes going to make a couple errors, but i really dont know what your watching Moon. theres really nothing i can think of that most other 3b would get to that he hasnt. with that said, Im not sure hes the long term solution there. Moncada hasnt played one inning at 3b so lets not pencil him in just yet. I agree that I would give him reps at another position, but lets wait til the kid can get a full pro year under his belt at one position and also get through A Ball first. Benintendi may have the faster track because of his college time. I could see him in Boston in 2017 and moncada maybe in 2018. Panda needs to go one way or another. at this point he has to play some to get any value, so until he goes back to andrews and we can shift him to the 60 day DL hes going to have to take up a valuable roster spot. Ive never been one to complain about the Manager too much, but Farrell has got to go...this guy has made so many questionable in game moves and has mismanaged his roster so badly you would swear hes trying to lose. he was a great pitching Coach, but IMHO is a terrible game Manager. I bet (hope) after DD's "vote of confidence" Farrell is gone sometime soon..

Its normal for a pitchers velocity to go down starting around age 26...theres a good article on it on Fangraphs.com..

Looks like since the "soft one" (softlaw) got banned from the BDC red sox forum for the hundredth time hes going to spew his garbage here. For those of you that dont know, this guy got banned recently for personal attacks, racial and homophobic statements. Hes had a dozen screen names in the last year or 2 over there. Its quite entertaining if you dont take him seriously, but if your able to get under his thin skin you can easily get him to say something that will surely get him banned. Last year it was the same exact routine but instead of Upton it was with Matt Kemp before he signed the extension. As far as J. Upton, Im glad that BC wasnt at all interested in him. Hes been nothing more than erratic and inconsistent since coming to MLB. Besides that, I believe Ben was looking for more character guys, which Upton isnt. Martin Prado is a better character person and besides power numbers, has very comparable numbers to Upton. Delgato is a legit pitching prospect. And dont bother responding to me oh soft one, cause I wont dignify your comments with a reply...silly clown :harhar:
