Porcello has had 1 "good" year his entire career and that just so happened to be last year ... and even then, he was basically about a #3. Like a shittier Ervin Santana. |

he's like a very, very, very shitty right handed version of Mark Buehrle
he's durable, that's his pro his con? He's not good. But congrats, you have another 4 years of Jeremy Guthrie at $25M / per. ! |

he was so good that, in the postseason, Detroit used him out of the bullpen because he wasn't deemed good enough to start
$100M contract ! Wow. That makes Boston's contract to John Lackey years ago look like a bargain I had NO idea they signed him to a $100M extension |

oh, only 4 years $82.5M (just looked it up)
what a steal ! would you guys rather have 4 years of Porcello at $4M (total) or 4 years of Chris Young at $8M (total)? Honestly? Give me Chris Young. Hahaha. But that is at $1M per year. Imagine extending Vargas to another $82.5M |

A King Felix, Kershaw, Price, Hamels, Cueto, Wainwright, Jon Lester, etc. It is nowhere close to the market rate for a back-end guy who doesn't strike out anyone and who - if he has a good defense behind him and good BABIP luck - tops out as a solid No. 3 type starter. The Red Sox significantly overpaid for a pitcher who has only posted one full season ERA under 4.00 in his career while playing in a pitcher's park in a weaker division, who had a 4.51 career ERA entering his contract season and a career 5.45 K/9 rate. It's honestly one of the dumbest contracts I've ever seen.

He's a white, tall, skinny Jair Jurrjens. Control guy who doesn't strike out anybody and who needs good BABIP luck to be good at all.

I really don't think Boston is as bad as we think they are, they aren't good, but it won't be a push over. I mean, they aren't the Brewers I don't think.

Everything about that team right now is off of the tracks. Is Sandoval going to be back in the lineup tonight after he was caught on instagram during a game? |

He's batting .270 with .734 OPS. Last year he hit .279 with a .739 OPS. His OPS had declined every year since 2010. He's an overweight 3B who won't age well but he's playing to his recent level of production, for the most part.

Pablo Sandavals cholestoral is higher than his batting average.

Betts and Castillo are major disappointments so far, Ortiz has fallen off considerably, Sandoval has just been OK, and they have a lot of aging/declining guys in general.

In all fairness, they were a bit of a disaster last year too, but still managed to take 6 of 7 from us during the season.
So I'll just hold my tongue till we get the first couple under our belt . . . . . |

Ortiz Napoli Ramirez, post-shoulder Castillo Craig Victorino Sandoval, in the field Nava Have all either been injured or big disappointments, to date. The only players in the lineup that are really getting it done are Pedroia, Holt (Utility player and semi-starter) and Bogaerts. And, dear God, you are so right about that starting rotation. The bullpen is thin, too. |

Betts has been hot the last few days. Hopefully can hold him down.
