I'm sure you will, Mr. Pupkin.
twballgame9 {l Wrote}:The money is not mine, so it is irrelevant. As far as the opt out goes, I bet the Sox hope upon hope that he pitches well enough to exercise it for two distinct reasons.

I don't think it makes a lot of sense to pay that much money for a pitcher.

Ace pitchers are the only people you should pay that kind of money.
The money argument is stupid. If he gets hurt in year three, that contract will not handcuff the Red Sox. And if he gives them 2-3 years of what he did the last 5 years pitching largely in the AL East, they are automatically contenders again (especially when you count Kimbrell as well).
Contract was kind of a no-brainer, and I have yet to hear a reasonable argument against it. They may get stuck paying an aging pitcher a lot of money in 5 years in a league with no salary cap and a weak luxury tax. Who cares?

With pitchers so commonly injured, it just seems like a big gamble to pony up 31 million year for one guy who can only get out there every five days. If they got the contract insured against a possible injury (always a possibility) then it's a much better deal. I do not know the details of the Red Sox roster so I am only commenting on the Money aspect. I guess if it's the last 31 million to get you a championship then it would be worth it but still seems like a big risk to me.

Kid's stuff is too electric for him to not figure it out unless he is just another clown like Eovaldi

jhiggi02 {l Wrote}:twballgame9 {l Wrote}:Well, the APB on Rick Porcello appears to have finally returned him from witness protection.
I fear that the Sandoval APB will just be a return of 10 Big Mac meals.

6.2 no hit innings the other day ...
twballgame9 {l Wrote}:For the record, Joe Kelly's pitching is the worst thing I subject myself to on a regular basis. At one point last night, he had thrown 84 pitches, 44 of which were strikes, and he was actually winning 4-2.

Saw him Friday Night in Toronto. He has no clue where the ball is going and his "stuff" isn't even that wonderful. He throws hard which is nice but that fastball is as straight as an arrow and guys just tee off on it. His breaking stuff is good but half the time it just hangs there. Donaldson had no problem squaring up one of those 98 MPH fastballs and hit it about a mile.
He should be in the bullpen, as a 1 inning guy he'd be effective, but he sucks as a starter (see the 6+ ERA)

I'd rather Buccholtz than him, although both are terrible.
At least Buccholtz showed some balls today
