    Swihart v. Vazquez: The Value of Framing

    It shrinks when it gets cold? I would hope that it seems silly to everyone. Sure, there may be a marginal change. And, sure, if it was at a position where there was more supply than demand, that would be something else. But it's not like the Red Sox having a surplus of young catching...

    Swihart v. Vazquez: The Value of Framing

    Yes, because young starting catchers are available in such abundance, and teams who might want one would just low-ball the Red Sox on one they have available, who the Red Sox are under no obligation whatsoever to trade, and could just give another season in Pawtucket/keep around in case...

    HR and Verducci are out at FOX, Smoltz is in.

    I had created a thread for this, but then realized it was already being discussed here, so I removed the content of said thread since I figured it would just be pointed out that it was being discussed here anyway.

    The recent update to this thread: http://sonsofsamhorn.net/index.php?threads/hr-and-verducci-are-out-at-fox-smoltz-is-in.829 I had searched for "reynolds" and "harold" in subject titles, neither of which yielded results - since the topic is just "HR" I saw it after though, so I edited out this...

    Poll: Should the Red Sox Retire Wade Boggs' Number?

    Considering Williams was named "Teddy" at birth, I just found the choice of comparison funny here.

    Trophy or ring?

    Agreed. Considering the World Series bonus is significantly more than that, you'd think that everyone would just get one, because why not.

    I certainly hope FOX doesn't use Football as any sort of basis for what they do with Baseball. Knowing them, though, they probably do.

    Avoiding Toxic Sports Media

    Anyone who has read a Dan Shaughnessy column any time since at least 2004 (really, any time since the 1980s) should have their reading privileges removed. Seriously, he needs to be avoided completely. No "Look at what this fool said!" No "I guess that proves him wrong!" No "This guy is really a...

    The Red Sox will retire Wade Boggs’ number on May 26

    Geeze, it's one thing to talk about how many numbers the Yankees have retired, and another completely to look at some of the names on that list. May as well just call it the "List of players who played their careers for the Yankees." They should just start including that in their contract...

    Trophy or ring?

    So leave it at home, or put it in your pocket or your wallet, when you don't want to be asked about it.

    Trophy or ring?

    Nailed it. Seriously, what are you going to do with a trophy? Carry a picture of it around in your wallet and just randomly let it fall out on the table when talking to people or something? Yeah, it looks nice in your house - but if people are seeing it, it means they're in your house already.

    Also, re: 1988 ALCS: 4 games, 4 Ks 1990 ALCS: 4 games, 3 Ks Yeah, they're "well above his regular season rates," but far from "all over the place."

    The Red Sox will retire Wade Boggs’ number on May 26

    Indeed, let's put a business suit up there. But, despite the fact that the quoted post was meant as a snide joke, Duquette certainly should be recognized for what he did for the franchise.

    What Type Of Red Sox Team Makes You Happy In The Pants?

    A team with Pedro Martinez on it. Barring that, a team with a reasonable facsimile of Pedro Martinez on it. (Of course, there are no reasonable facsimiles of Pedro Martinez :( ) That said, a team with very strong starting pitching in general. I would love for them to sign/trade for a whole...

    Worst MLB Franchise of All Time

    Well, I mean, it would seem the Yankees have had an extremely negative value over time, so it would seem to be a perfect pick. The Cleveland Spiders obviously are a good choice as well. Although without as much time to build up quantity. Frankly, though, I would have to say the Chicago White...
