They had a solid start last yr but faded... They have some real good talent and the cards and brewers both got worse this yr.

The reds are too streaky and the funnies and stros don't even belong in the majors...

This whole situation is pretty ridiculous. The fact that the Marlins are suspending him a week or two after the comments were made public and who knows how long since he actually said them in the interview... trying to cover their rumps.

What?... is the Sun Sentinel gonna run a scathing piece on Guillen and everyone in South Florida will care for a day? Who really cares.

Agreed and what does 5 games really do at this stage of the stage, in the grand scheme?

Ive heard an opinion that part of it is being nice to Bard who will be going into arbitration after this season. A pitcher gets a lot more in arbitration if they are either a closer or a starter than they do if they are a "relief" guy. The management (and most of the fans) dont think Bard can be a closer, so they are letting him try to be a starter.
My take is that they will give him 3-4 starts. If any of those look good they will let him keep trying for a while. If after those 3-4 he isnt looking good, and the bullpen still needs help, you'll see him slide into the back end of the bullpen, and Aceves will either go into the lineup, or who knows what will happen. The bullpen has looked better their last few times out, but was absolutely horrible the first 2 times out.
I agree with Oar, they should have ponied up the money for Oswalt, but there was also a lot of talk around here that Oswalt didnt really want to come to Boston anyway.

So Wilson's likely done for the year, no real indication on who the Giants will go with. Romo probably gets first shot, but Casilla and Lopez may be in the mix as well.

Oh, and the Blow Jays blew another Henderson Alvarez quality start. Their bullpen has been bad so far this year.

Alvarez is looking like a Brandon McCarthy clone so far.
Not a lot of K's, but almost no walks, and the ratios should be good while piling up quality starts.

I'd buy (if I didn't already have him in one league, and just sold him in another)

Aceves is starting to look ok in that closers role. After not getting an out in his first 2 outings, he has now gone 1-2-3 in 3 outings in a row. I think 2 of those were saves, and one was just to get some work in.

Not sure what Bobby V is trying to do here... but I agree with Pedroia, that's not a productive way to handle a situation.

It will be interesting to see how the Sox respond to Bobby V's style.


No real feel on whether they can solve their own internal clubhouse issues as well deal with Bobby V.
