I wanna know who is your favorite Red Sox player and Why? It can be from the past, Like how everyone loves Pesky.

Mine first favorite player happened to be Mo Vaughn. After his departure I became a big Trot Nixon fan.

Currently I am a Huge Dustin Pedroia. I love the grittiness of how he plays and his jersey is never white.

Just finished reading his book and it was really cool to read.

Manny Ramirez. No matter how much shit everyone talks, he was the man.

The correct answer is Pedro Martinez.

He was the first person to actually get me excited about pitching.

I loved Mo Vaughn too. Growing up I guess he was my idol (lets ignore the DUI's and the trips to the Foxy Lady) and I met him on several occasions. Then I guess I liked Damon for the first couple years he was here and then Arroyo became my favorite. White man with cornrows, gotta love it. Then he gets traded and I guess my favorites became Lowell and Bay once he came to Boston. Right now I don't really have a favorite player on the roster.

Manny Ramirez. No matter how much shit everyone talks, he was the man.

Manny had a great career in Boston from 2001-2007. .313/.412/.594 plus 254 HRS and 800 RBIS. and .312/.411/.588 including his 2008 time. I forgot on the bottom of baseball reference it had stats with each team they were on.


The correct answer is Pedro Martinez.

He was the first person to actually get me excited about pitching.

117-37 W-L He was one of the Best pitchers we have ever had.

I've always liked the guys who didn't start with a ton of talent and managed to earn their way on the roster. Guys like Brian Daubach for example

Also, I don't care how much of a jerk he was or that he wound up a Yankee, I liked Wade Boggs a lot, ditto for Clemens.

I also have a bit of a soft spot for Timmy Wakefield. He has a great year this year, he could win #200.

Nomar, followed closely by Manny. Favorite current player Pedroia, followed closely by Papi and Drew.

Daubach was really good and i loved the leprechaun look. He was 4th in ROY voting. And Timmy I hope he gets 200#.

my dad likes tim because he says they have teh same fastball. lol

He was also the second best defensive 1st baseman I ever saw.

When I was younger Mo Vaughn and Nomah.

Now it's Lester/Beckett. Lester is a beacon of hope for some many people suffering from Cancer. And I have followed Beckett ever since he was drafted by Florida, and actually got to watch him come up through the minors. I was ecstatic when the Sox dealt for him.

He was wrapped up like a mummy towards the end, and he still went out and did whatever he had to do. Just special, the face of the team for a long time. Amazing, quick hands, over 400 HRs - at his size with the archaic training they did that's some serious bat head speed.

I would love to see what he and some of his peers would have been able to do with access to today's exercise and diet science.

It's interesting to me that most of the members have mentioned only players from the last 15-20 years.

No Doubt Pedro was the best pitcher I ever saw play for the Sox. It's just a shame more people here never saw Yaz play. Add up all the big plays and clutch hits made by Mo Vaughn, Manny, and Papi, and you just begin to approach what Yaz accomplished during his career.

Frank Malzone is my all-time favorite Red Sox. My avatar says it all. When I began to follow the team, Ted Williams was in the twilight of his career. However, I did get to see both of them play in the second All Star game at the L.A. Coliseum on 08/03/1959. Malzie even poked a homer to the short left field porch off of Don Drysdale. When Ted retired, it was Yaz and then Tony C. They could make the dullest game a thrilling spectacle. Yaz was simply amazing.

I really wish I could have seen Yaz play. He was my Dad's favorite player and he was responsible for a rebirth of the franchise when no on gave a damn about the Red Sox.

My current favorite player is Youkilis though. I followed him in the minors, I saw his first major league game (in which he hit a home run) and I've always appreciated how he was good at every aspect of the game. Back when it wasn't fashionable to tout range stats, I was pointing out how Youkilis was an elite first baseman according to UZR. He's also always done very well in baserunning stats (Bill James keeps them) and he's always been good at hitting with runners in scoring position. He's a hard nosed player who does everything right. Plus, his facial hair is entertaining.

To put that statement in context, I was 2 years old when Yaz broke into the majors and he retired when I was almost 25. For my entire childhood and part of my adult life, he played every day year in and year out. I have been a huge Pedro fan, but we had him for only 7 years. We had Manny for 7 1/2 years. Ortiz has been with us for 7 seasons. Nomar was here for 8 1/2 seasons. These guys were huge stars and heroes. Yaz played more seasons for the Sox than any combination of three of those four guys. That's just amazing. It took me a long time to get used to a Red Sox team without #8 in the lineup, because it had been such a constant.

Not really surprising. Just be grateful that people are mentioning names earlier than the last, say, 6 years.

I dunno guys, we don't want to set the old days on a pedestal. it's hard to deny that Scott was one of the driving forces behind some great years for the Red Sox but I think Youks is a match for Scott on the defensive side of the ball, certainly he's a better 3B, and there's no doubt he's miles better offensively.

How? You never saw Scott play, and no one's talking about offense. Jesus fucking Christ.

Dojji
03-06-2010, 12:23 PM
He was a first baseman. How valuable can a glove really be at first base? Certainly he was no great shakes as a third baseman, and Youkilis has a much higher fielding percentage at third.

I don't mean to take anything away from Scott, especially since he's from a different era, but if a guy like him was playing today we'd all be in favor of him sitting on the bench for some big home run hitter.

Dipre
03-06-2010, 12:29 PM
No.

You said Youkilis was his equal at first, you never said anything about the "Value of a glove at 1B",which is valuable, a good offensive and defensive 1B is more valuable than a similar offensive 1B who can't field his position, also, you can't compare the two because you never saw Scott play and you don't have advanced stats to evaluate him, second, fielding percentage is utterly and completely useless by itself, and you know this, interesting how you try to sneak it in there when it supports your "argument". Funny how you accuse me of being a hypocrite about defensive statistics but have the gall to use F% when you have discounted it before yourself.

It's easy to see that Youk is the better all around player. Especially with all the new metrics to support the opinion. However, Youk is a very good defensive 1st baseman. Scott was spectacular. Most people who saw him play would acknowledge that. It's just not debatable.

And while Scotts OBP and OPS probably would not measure up to Youk's, he was a valuable part of the Sox offense and a "feared' hitter in his day. Again, having not seen him play, it would be difficult to understand this. I guess.

Ballparks are smaller today. The pitching mound is lower. The 1960's were ridiculously pitching dominated, because of the higher mound. As for fielding, if you can get a copy of the second to last game of the 1967 season (which is the oldest known full game broadcast in color) you will see the drastic difference in field condition from today. The groundskeepers for today's teams have all sorts of Masters degrees in grass and dirt. Back then heads groundskeepers were retired fireman, cops etc. The grounds crew were part-time guys. Today's infields are made of composite materials that cost millions and they are carefully manicured. Back then the IF's were dirt. There were lot's of bad hops. If you watch that game you will see how the Infield got chewed up after a few innings from the players cleats. The outfielders were splashing around because of all the standing water from the prior day. Scott was the premier fielding 1B of his day. The stats don't translate to today. They just don't.... offensively or defensively. Youk is not the best fielding 1B in the game today. He is very, very good, but he is not the best. Tex is much better with the leather. No one was better than Scott in that era. It's got nothing to do with putting anyone on pedestals. Greatness is determined in the context of a player's contemporaries. You didn't see him play, and if you want to use stats to judge him, judge him against the stats of his peers.

When the hot streak ended, he'd go so cold that he looked like he'd been struck blind. He would go through a couple of weeks without making any solid contact. He'd go for a week or two striking out on three pitches. He'd take the first one down the middle and then swing at two balls out of the zone. Then, all of a sudden, he'd become an incredibly tough out, and in the end he'dfinish with the exact same numbers each year whhich gave the erroneous impression that he was a consistent hitter.

What the fuck do you know rhet? Can you back your statement with OBP and OPS? j/k :D


"Da Boomer sho did hit some taters".

Most of the biggest and hardest hit balls I saw during his time in Boston were hit by Scott.

Only Boog Powell and Frank Howard could hit balls that hard and that far. All of them hit home runs that would dwarf the efforts of today's big bats.

*Sigh*

"Back in the day" there was a big screen above the left field wall. Behind it Lansdowne St.
Then about 150' of buildings. Beyond that, commuter rail tracks and the Mass Pike. Scott hit balls that landed on the tracks. Not all the time. But when he did, it would leave people sitting in their seats with their mouths a gape.

I like Felger but he just was not there!

Scott was about the size of Papi. Maybe a little smaller around the waist. Not by much, though.

Several things made Scott an incredible defensive talent.

He could read a ball off the bat.

He had quick reflexes.

He was very fast on his feet.

"Soft" hands.

Flexibility. Few people could streach the way he could.

A strong, accurate arm.

Great baseball instincts. Kind of like a baseball Larry Bird.

Selfless sacrifice of his body. He'd go all-out for every ball. ALL THE TIME.

"Five tool players" did not exist then. But he was one.

David Ortiz used to be my favorite until he started making outs and not hitting.
