Lester Bucholz Beckett Lackey Dice-K Are fine with me (100 win rotation) Paps and Bard are fine with me to close and set-up. Either order.
Just need some middle relief.

So you argument for improving the pitching is that Beckett will have a magical odd-year resurgence? What about Dice-K, Lackey, Pap, Oki, etc? That's the team you want next year?

Look at Beckett's numbers in odd years and tell me you don't want him next year. 5th best record in AL while worst injury season in history of franchise. That's what I'm going on. Pretty solid argument to back-up my opinion.

Bench players? The starting rotation? Good luck with your predictions John. All I can say is that mine was a lot closer than yours this year.

I suppose MVP being out all season and MVP candidate being out a significant portion wouldn't change any of the numbers, now would it? Pitchers who went through a couple games when they were hurt and tried to pitch through it - didn't matter. No. It didn't matter at all that this may have been the worst injured-list year in the history of the franchise. Not one bit. LOL I know for a fact one thing. This is a matter of opinion. I state my opinion and I'll stand behind it. And there's no one who can prove alternate scenarios wrong. But a whole host of baseball junkies on ESPN happen to agree with me. Minor tweaks are all that's needed. But ... Due to contracts as they are, this team may be different anyway even if they wanted to bring most back. Still, it was a fun discussion.

This team, if we kept them next year, would struggle to reach the 91 games I predicted for them this year. The injuries actually had a marginal effect on this team. We mostly lost hitters and still came in 2nd in runs scored. The problem was pitching, and these problems were not due to injuries. If we go into next year with this rotation and bullpen we might, indeed, reach my prediction of 91 games. Here's what we'd have if we kept this year's "dream team". 1. Varitek -- 1 year older 2. Ortiz -- 1 year older 3. Lowell -- 1 year older 4. Wakefield -- 1 year older Then for a rotation we'd have (League average ERA was 4.14) Beckett -- 5.78 ERA Dice-K -- 4.69 ERA Lackey -- 4.40 ERA Closer Papelbon -- 3.90 ERA This is a 100-win team? What does this team have in common with any 100-win teams in the past? Nothing, that's what. As my friend said at the game today, "It's time to pull the bandaid off all at once." This team needs a major house cleaning. On Sun, Oct 3, 2010 at 7:34 PM, Beaudoin, John <[email protected]> wrote: I want the same team next year. If marginally healthy, then they'll win 99 games. If average healthy then they'll win 102 games or more.

I wanted to take a swing at Swisher when he dove somewhat into the stands trying to catch the HR however instead watched him lay on the ground in pain while the guys 3 rows back fought over the ball. Great game - I'm not a Lackey fan however if he can pitch like he did today for the most part next year, we have a solid 1,2, and 3 starting pitcher punch already in place. -larry On Sun, Oct 3, 2010 at 6:35 PM, Dan DiBiase <[email protected]> wrote: > But did you get Lowrie's??!! > > Dan D > Central NJ USA > > > > ________________________________ > From: Larry Rupp <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Sun, October 3, 2010 12:12:50 PM > Subject: Re: "From the depths of Hell I stab at thee!" > > See you there Ray - I'll be manning the Pesky pole area for an Ortiz > homerun! > > On Sun, Oct 3, 2010 at 11:20 AM, Ray Salemi <[email protected]> wrote: >> I'm off to Fenway to see if the Sox can put a final hurt on the Yankees. >> It turned out to be a big game after all. >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "Red Sox Citizens" group. >> To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >> [email protected] <mailto:redsoxcitizens%[email protected]> . >> For more options, visit this group at >> http://groups.google.com/group/redsoxcitizens?hl=en. >> > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Red Sox Citizens" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected] <mailto:redsoxcitizens%[email protected]> . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/redsoxcitizens?hl=en. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Red Sox Citizens" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected] <mailto:redsoxcitizens%[email protected]> . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/redsoxcitizens?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Red Sox Citizens" group.
