That's 5 years of data, and it's not like hitting is a statistically simple as flipping a coin. It's not pure probability, with lots of other factors contributing that may lead him to be a consistently more effective hitter in the second half. Maybe it takes him a while to get a feel for hitting again each year. I don't know, but there's obviously something to this that shouldn't be so readily dismissed.

See, I'm not the only one. He does a good job in right, I'll give him that, but he's way overdue for his annual back spasams.

This was also interesting, from Gammons: This deal has been on the table for three weeks, and after Boston lost its fourth straight Tuesday and declined to trade Clay Buchholz for Victor Martinez, the Red Sox took Adam LaRoche.

On the other hand if your tools suck and your skills are excellent you're either not highly regarded or you're Pedroia. -LondonSox

From Massarotti's piece on the trade today: "The other player sent to Pittsburgh is a Class-A pitcher by the name of Hunter Strickland, on whom the above evaluator had little knowledge." Is M clueless?

Is M clueless? The being clueless part I understand, I'd give him a mulligan since his specialty isn't the Sox minors. The part that blows me away is that he'd actually take the time to type that instead of doing 5 minutes worth of homework. This trade goes a long way towards fixing what's been our season long 'ball and chain' (for those of you that are married, the term has other meanings), left side defence. We've had major issues with SS, 3B & LF. Lowrie's back and now for the majority of the innings (more RHP), we'll have Youk instead of Lowell at 3B. Youk clearly has much more range than 2009 Lowell, a definite upgrade. LF is now upgraded as well because Bay won't be seeing as many fielding opportunities as he's had, particularly the one's that exploit his lack of range and arm.

Rookie Posts: 43 07/22/09 4:38 PM	As far as I can remember, the "cash" for the Laroche deal could be part of the "cash considerations" in the Corsaletti deal. I dont remember hearing anything in return for sending Corsaletti to the Pirates. I was always a Corsaletti fan. "Hot Rods announcer just reported that the mascot, a mackerel, just ate the batboy and that now the batboy's clothes are flying out the fishes mouth. Shouldn't that be investigated ?" LCBF

The tweet about there being cash coming back was definitely shot down.
