I know the buntman comment is meant as a negative but I pleasantly surprised that they a about MLB average for OPS. I thought they would be much worse and Jimenez would be the bright spot.

The Sox dont have an MRI unit nor do they read them.

Just glancing through his stuff, he is pretty accurate on many things. Mechanics and training wise he does have good points. however, you can tell by just reading that the guy is a complete wackadoodle as a person and i can see why people don't take him seriously. Which is unfortunate because he does have good ideas even though he didn't come about them from a particularly scientific way. I would love to sit down and have a few cold ones wih him and discuss pitching. It would be an entertaining time.

Post the link to his stuff. I'd love to see it. I've never seen anyone who can figure out pitching like that.

He probably is a fraud. Most of those types are.

I would disagree with the first round at least. Rodon, Burdi and Burger have all been injured. if you can predict injuries you would be a billionaire and not hanging with us. Collins looks to have a shot at being a pretty good hitter. Fuller would be a disappointment.

It's not as bad as his .186 BA looks. He is walking more than striking out and the BABIP is .206. He should be fine as the season progresses.

I would disagree at high A. Walker is a legit prospect.

Nice.

while this is true, ideally they would left handed power for RF once they get good. the OF will be Jimenez and Lubob. currently the only LH power is Moncada. Maybe Collins.

this decision isn't too bad so far. insurance is paying his salary not the Sox.

and that was mostly due to better living through chemistry.

he acquired Jay in an attempt to sign Machado. Acquiring Jay had nothing to do with Avi or Jay's potential performance

shoulder strain can be anything muscle related. it gives us no clue.

if it is true, then nothing the Sox could have done would have given him the wake up call he needed besides getting rid of him.

or maybe the Sox letting him go was a wake up call for him.

could be the other way around. he looked pretty good until the last couple of starts. Maybe that's when he started having shoulder issues.

One of the funniest.

The issue is that since it was a high ankle sprain, it hurts when his ankle goes into dorsiflexion (bringing the foot up). The ligaments he injured keep the tibia and fibula together. he needs to take the short steps because it hurts to have the injured foot too far behind him. frank is an expert on foot injuries. One ended his career.

this seems to be pretty much most pitchers now. Average innings for a starting pitcher last year was 5.4.

That's a tough place to pitch.

Surprised it wasn't whiplash.

that's on purpose to spread his innings limit out through the year instead of stopping in August.

I could hit that submarine softball pitch. The defense was impressive though.

Ricky is like Joe Maddon in this way. It drives me nuts.
