I think we’ll make the playoffs, and from there an element of “luck” exists in any 5 game series. On paper, our top 3 starters are (like last year) weaker than our prospective opponents. For much of the year, the offense has underachieved. I think the real question is – on a continuum of full actualized abilities – will Beckett and Lester be at the top of their game? Will Matsuzaka pitch at all this year? We need 9/10 or 10/10 from Beckett and Lester to take any series… offensively, we can make it. On the subject of ‘dead money’ the ROI for many of these reclamation projects of Theo are high, if any panned out… the key I think is still stocking the farm system with cheaper prospects for future dealing.

Mr. Dunlop,

I would like to know what you think about the chances of our starting rotation making it to the ALCS with a less than stellar cast in offense and a mediocre pitching staff at best. Although people are thankful for what Theo has done, I can’t help but to hold him accountable for the millions of dollars in ‘dead money’.

Oh, you thought this was about work? =)

Comment on HOT NEW Job! QA/SQA for medical device (web apps & embedded) – 495, MA by scottdunlop

Overall, the market is fairly poor – there are pockets of hyper-activity but they are primarily confined to recent graduates of top computer science programs, coupled with strong soft-skills. More experienced candidates are experiencing a bad supply of good candidates, and lower demand. I doubt this will change much, until the end of the year.

Good luck with the search – Scott
