How can we let this offseason go by without signing Polanco, you know? We have a huge question mark at 2B, and Polanco has been consistently good for seven straight years.

That was taken out of context!

That's fine too, but Hermanson was an opening day starter two times before.

With 10 million I'd rather see the Sox sign Polanco and Pierzynski, then move Hermanson into the starting rotation.

I think average game score is a fine way to measure what everyone calls "stuff". Clement's AGS was 55.4, Perez's was 55.1. For perspective, RJ's was 64.8, Eric Milton's was 49.7.

Hahaha, it's actually Tom DeLonge.

I don't want the Sox paying 9 million dollars for Clement. Perez will cost less thanks to his poor performance in the postseason. I think he's better than Clement anyway. Perez has thrown more innings than Clement in the last three years, yet has given up just over half the number of walks Clement has. Clement's night ERA is a run higher than his day ERA in that span as well. Perez had the fourth best WHIP in the NL, Clement fourteenth. Perez also a ground ball pitcher like Clement, so you lose nothing there.

Mine was the one that actually worked...

Think we could pass off Willie as an outfielder? He has played there before.

Bill James determined 70+% is effective.

What does asno mean?

Unfortunately we don't have the payroll to build around both offense and defense (pitching included). We will have to see how things go with the latter.

Depends on how well he hits really. But don't think he's going to learn plate patience that easily.

Guys that just put the ball in play are valuable to have at US Cellular.

I know he never draws walks. Didn't know he struck out once every 18 at-bats. That's impressive.

Hopefully a well-rounded starting rotation will help this. One that doesn't have Schoenweis and Wright in it on opening day.

Pierz only struck out 27 times last year. Wow.

Wrong. Worst team batting average in the majors don't = wins.

Yep. Not a fair comparison.

How successful will they really be? The RIAA still hasn't successfully sued anybody.

What was the deal with Clement missing games due to injury at the end of last season? What kind of injury was that, and is he fully recovered?

You are seriously the most paranoid fan ever. KW is not going to trade both Shingo and Damaso.
