Lowrie for Melancon

[Danzz]

Hard not to notice that you get very bullish on Red Sox players (Lowrie, Papelbon) AFTER they leave Boston

Not the case with me. Not signing Papalbon was a huge loss and it is unlikely they will fill that void. Lowrie wasn't much more than a decent utility player....nice to have around but won't get you into the playoffs.I don't think he'll be missed.

I agree with you. The Sox really blew it in my opinion by not at least competing for Papelbon. If you look at his stats, he was one of the best two relievers in all of baseball and he had a psyche that could handle Boston. I think the closer in Boston and New York has to be two of the highest pressure jobs in baseball. We have to find a reliever that can get people out and be able to move on the next day when he doesn't.

Pretty much meaningless facts given the small sample size. One bad outing completed skewed the overall AL #s.

Yeah, but posting it really annoys you. Isn't that a good enough reason to do it?

No, talking about deadrody. Never seen him praise red sox players like that. Totally agree with you on papelbon. Major loss.

Absolutely. I've always said you could be the CFO at that fabled firm of Dewey Cheatem & Howe. You have a way with #s.

I could care less about the Sox losing Papelbon. His time was up in Boston. But unfortunately, it's not like there are many good replacements out there.

Some, like myself, post to enlighten. Others post to annoy. To each his own.

On this board I line up more with Waq than you but I have to admit that Dali Lama line was pretty good.
