In 2012 he was worth "only" 2.6 rWAR, which is below expectations, but still not 4th OF material (particularly as a switch hitter). He was on the wrong side of 30, but still. <br /><br />Anonymous: I didn't even know he bothered to write anything about that. I thought he was too busy putting up horrific NBA team by team season previews. I'll take a look on Sunday night.Larry Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16141943214237719821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300012139741038635.post-82809253090062323442013-11-08T09:26:41.868-08:002013-11-08T09:26:41.868-08:00Regardless can we all agree that its a shame no on...Regardless can we all agree that its a shame no one has tackled Simmons' Red Sox world series piece? With gems such as "Winning is always fun. But this team? This team was REALLY fun." and "In mid-August, they outplayed a scorching-hot Dodgers team in Dodger Stadium; that's the first time I remember thinking they had a chance." (read: that's the first time I watched them play). He also says that Brady isn't on the Boston mount rushmore because he couldnt complete an undefeated season.<br /><br />Come on!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300012139741038635.post-19062906895964349092013-11-08T09:05:37.063-08:002013-11-08T09:05:37.063-08:00"3) What mockery did the Red Sox go through f..."3) What mockery did the Red Sox go through for signing those guys? I sure didn't read about it "<br /><br /><br />Keith Law, Joe Sheenan, and Craig Calcaterra mocked the shit out of the Sox for the Victorino signing. I believe Law said something along the lines of "Thats a lot of money for a fourth outfielder", or something to that effect.Fred Triggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16980604002168881166noreply@blogger.com
