    Will Joe Kelly Ever Fulfill His Potential?

    The team does need starters, but not starters who pitch 4 inning and allow 7 runs. And despite his 8 good starts last year, he still had a 5.09 era and was absolute garbage for most of the year. (to the point where he got sent to AAA) He should be on a very short leash. And we have a guy named...

    Will Joe Kelly Ever Fulfill His Potential?

    Exactly, his fastball would consistently sit in the upper 90’s (97-98) combined with his slider he could have success. Especially since he would only have to worry about 1 inning. He wouldnt have to worry so much about mixing his pitch speeds and varying his pitch mix. Simplifying the game for...

    Will Joe Kelly Ever Fulfill His Potential?

    The answer is no. He should have figured it out by now and its pretty clear he hasn’t. I still think he could be a good reliever as he would have to worry about pitch mix as much and would only have to focus on 1 inning. His fastball would also play up as well.

    Cherington's bad run

    Middlebrooks was traded for hanigan last offseason, at the time the donaldson trade went down middlebrooks was around the same age as lawrie and was coming off a less than stellar season. Comparing bogaerts to lawrie in terms of value is insane. Same with rodriguez to graveman. A sox equivalent...

    Cherington's bad run

    Honestly, I don’t buy the “we called and billy said he wasn’t available” line that cherington came up with. Given that donaldson was moved shortly after the sox supposedly checked in and were turned away, I doubt beane would have told them he wasn’t available. If I’m shopping my highest value...

    Cherington's bad run

    Brett Lawrie at that point had closer value to Will Middlebrooks than either of Betts or Bogaerts. Lawrie (age 25) was coming off of a season which he hit .247 with a .722 ops and missed a lot of games yet again. (only played in 70 games) He also saw a significant drop off in defensive ability...

    Cherington's bad run

    Cheringtons biggest downfall was that he simply went after the wrong guys time and time again. Not bidding more on jose abreu was the start of the downward spiral. Considering the teams need at the time for a longterm 1B with power, its quite baffling the sox didn’t offer more. From there we had...
