    The save statistic is simplistic and stupid

    You guys are way overreacting as it is. I didn't say fire Farrell right now. Far from it. I said if the Sox determine that Farrell is not coming back, Showalter would be a phenomenal choice.

    As opposed to Farrell. But keep trying. Yall making this personal makes it too easy.

    I'll put myself up against you on anything baseball. But go ahead and tell me how Torey is a better option than Buck now.

    The save statistic is simplistic and stupid

    Is yours? Dude, there is an entire thread about firing Farrell. I'm fine with Farrell. But if those people get what they want, this would be how they should go about it. This really isn't that hard. I don't know why you're trying to make it that way.

    You do understand there's an entire thread on this board about firing Farrell right?

    Yeah that's fine. Frankly I care far more about baseball stuff than anything else. If society says he's free to seek employment, that's enough for me. It would be very hypocritical of me to pretend I'm better than the justice system.

    I was referring to his SIZE. The dude is 6'4.

    The save statistic is simplistic and stupid

    Buck is a better manager than Farrell. If Farrell isn't going to be retained, Buck is the kind of guy you don't retain him for. All the people all year who have said fire Farrell, I'd ask who is better than him? Showalter would be an answer that fits that.

    If the Sox can't win the series, I hope Buck goes down for this so the Sox can scoop him right up. I'm not a Farrell fatalist, but when there's a clear upgrade on Buck's level available, you take your shot.

    A big part of that veto was because no one would pick up his option.

    MLB investigating Padres Over Pomeranz Trade

    Agreed. I can't imagine how hard it would be for MLB to evaluate prospects for other teams.

    I think Taz is toast. I'd like to keep Ziegler though. There are some interesting guys out there. Brett Cecil is a guy i'd like to get Luke Hochevar is another. Again I'll throw Greg Holland out there. Unfortunately I think Petit's option is picked up, even though I wanted him last...

    Much like the Dalvin Cook situation, Chapman is a monstrous human being. The chances of there being no physical marks if he did what was being reported is incredibly low.

    I think a lot of it was the unclear amount of games he'd get from MLB. There wasn't evidence of the physical stuff you're referring to. Just the handgun episode.

    I'm curious what Nap is gonna get after this year. He was pretty solid. Turned back the clock to his 2012 season. But his D seems to be falling off.

    There was zero evidence of that being the case. So again, it's not really a good reason. There was more evidence against Brady than against Chapman.

    I was thinking more the particulars. And he has shown some signs of decline and they are a team that probably does need to blow it up.

    Totally fair. But there also isn't much I'd want to commit to long term. I'd rather get a short term solution and see if Travis can prove to be the solution before committing long term. Although I am curious what Chicago would want for Abreu.
