He's not a once in a generation player. EE and Bautista have very similar hitting stats. Two on the same team in the same generation.
Homerism.
He's a good, not great player, who had one very good season (did not get MVP). Not even close to HOF.
Backload an offer to Lester.... keep him from the Sox, money will be freed up with MB, RR off the books end of 2015. MB is the bridge to one of Sanchez or Norris (Osuna?) in 2016.
I still don't understand why he didn't keep Morrow in for another inning.... he was pitching well and surely has the stamina to go longer. You save your BP arms for later and the possible extra innings
I didn't understand taking out Morrow.... he's your best pitcher available out of the bullpen (after Loup maybe).... run with him until he's done... surely he could have done another inning
