[Mr Crunchy]

if youre in norwood and need a bite

go to the red wing on the south bound side of rte 1 maybe 2-3 miles from the stadium

how old is your son??

i can arrange the prostitution if you'd like

[v2freak]

I'm not too impressed with WMP right now either, but I don't think there are any gaping weaknesses withe the Red Sox at the moment other than a subpar bullpen.

[Mr Crunchy]

i think if you were looking for weaknesses it would be power at the corners and a questionable middle defense(book is still open on this)

along with the pen being sketchy and the #5 starter eating it

how about offense from the bottom of the order?

Yea because Wily Mo Pena has had a grand total of 3 ABs this year to prove himself

 

http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2007/04/11/have_they_hit_on_something_vs_ichiro/?page=2

Wily Mo will finally get his first start tomorrow vs lefty Jarrod Washburn, Gordon Edes indicated it will be in place of the hot hitting JD Drew. Coco gets to stay in the game because he is 10 for 18 against Washburn. Hey wake... uh so here's the probable lineup. Heres a stat I dont like hearing: In 17 out of his last 24 starts, the offense has given Wake an average of 1.5 runs

 

1. Julio Lugo ss

2. Youkilis 1b

3. Ortiz dh

4. Ramirez lf

5. Lowell 3b

6. Wily Mo rf

7. Crisp cf

8. Mirabelli c

9. Pedroia 2b

 

Also Terry has finally given into teh obvious that JC Romero will be the lefty specialist, Okajima will be the lefty reliever who can throw multiple innings at times

I'm glad you think I gauge a player with consideration only to the start of a season.

[75FiskPole]

He is only 25. Manny is 35. When Theo acquired him he compared him to a young Manny. I think they will platoon him for now, but see him as replacement for Manny in the next few years. He won't be as good, more like a combination of Manny and Papi, with all of their bad traits as well.

[jacksonianmarch]

whoever compared him to a young Manny doesnt really know what they are talking about. Wily is a young Dave Kingman. All or nothing power without a real idea of what a strike zone is.

 

The only kid I have heard the "young Manny" tag line is in Tampa right now and that's Jose Tabata. I never agree with calling a kid in A+ ball a young anybody, but he is the only one recently that I remember the term "young Manny" being used on.

[BSN07]

With a little more power I think Miguel Cabrerra could work himself into the Manny like talk...

[jacksonianmarch]

Miguel Cabrera is better than Manny was at a younger age. But aside from that and their position, your analogy is pretty good. Both high AVG, high power, guys with a great eye.

[ORS]

Miguel Cabrera is going to enter Pujols territory this year. Maybe even better. He'll get the next ARod-like contract when he's an FA.

[BSN07]

He even looks like a young Manny LOL I wouldn't mind seeing him playing the hot corner for about 7 years with his numbers looking the way they do, he can play 1B and OF pretty decent too so hes versatile on top of everything else...

[ORS]

Why would you want him at any other position than 3B? That is the one highest on the defensive spectrum, so it's where his offensive value is maximized.

[BSN07]

I know this, I was just saying if need be he can play other spots were as Manny can play LF and thats it, I was just commenting on the fact he has other ppluses to him besides his bat.

wlly mo pop stinks get rid of him for bull pen help .. hell just give me back arroyo

[CrespoBlows]

wlly mo pop stinks get rid of him for bull pen help .. hell just give me back arroyo

 

This guy is definitely billmueller11.

[MANNYHOF24]

wlly mo pop stinks get rid of him for bull pen help .. hell just give me back arroyo

 

A guy who hit .302 with 11hrs and 42 RBIS in 279 AB's does not stink, he should be put in CF instead of pathetic Coco Crisp who has yet to do anything in Boston.

[adam123]

Coco can play just not here . will mo is bad news .. hes dave kingman just newer verson you try playing with broken knuckel and filling judas deamons shoes

[Cocos Disciples]

If he cant play here why keep him?

[schillingouttheks]

Coco can play just not here . will mo is bad news .. hes dave kingman just newer verson you try playing with broken knuckel and filling judas deamons shoes

 

Ok fine. I'll be very frank with you.

 

Whether you like it or not, Wily Mo has done much better than Crisp has in their time with Boston.

[jacksonianmarch]

Comparing anyone to Coco Crisp is an insult. And a heinous one at that.

[riverside sluggers]

With Boston:

 

Wily Mo (87 games)- 83 for 279 (.297 avg) 15 Doubles, 2 Triples, 11 HRs, 42 RBIs, 36 Runs, 20 Walks, 90 Ks

 

Coco (113 games)- 113 for 441 (.256 avg) 24 Doubles, 2 Triples, 8 HRs, 39 RBIs, 60 Runs, 33 Walks, 73 Ks, 23 SBs

Come on man willy mo stinks .. lets see how good any of us does with broken finger and tons of pressure .. not to good its still first week of season .. so hes still got time to shape up

 

Willy mo pop up needs to go he sucks in the field ,strikes out all the time . I really think we can get more for him than crisp .. plus crisp is cheaper

 

Just send willy mo pop up and hansen

 

if willy mo is so good why has been through the yankees and cincinatti

 

just trade willy mo pop up ..to get cordero willy mo is so overated .. hes horrable in the field and is a strike out king just get rid of him

 

You are a freaking broken record. Get over it.

[a700hitter]

He's Dave Kingman with less power.

[HeadOfSoxNation]

He's Dave Kingman with less power.

 

Kingman could crush the ball, no doubt about it...but I don't think we've seen even close to WMP's power capabilities. The kid is a beaaaaaaaast.

[Mr Crunchy]

sam horn was a beast

phil plantier was a beast

matt stairs was a beast

 

adam is english your 1st language?

i dont mean to bust balls but you write like a f***ing retard and this is coming from a guy who doesnt use caps punctuation or anything near proper grammar.

 

anyways

where to put pena??

if coco continues to slug .218 i think i would move drew to center and put pena in right

cocos mechanics maybe fubar at this point

pena cost us 230 valuable innings last year so we may as well use him is some type of capacity

we got issues

theres no excuse for this team to get blanked 2xs in a week

[schillingouttheks]

I'd rather just put WMP in CF. He's more comfortable there and gets better jumps.

 

For the record, your grammar and punctuation isn't annoying because you're articulate and I understand what you're saying. Also, you spell correctly. People like adam123 annoy me because they can do no such things.

 

Also...kudos on using fubar. It worked nicely

[Mr Crunchy]

thank you sir

i can actually write fairly well for a college drop out.

my problem is ive developed some bad typing habits over the last 18 years in my business and in the heavy construction industry proper grammar has never been a priority

 

that fukin guy is either on acid or has parents that are brother and sister

 

anyways i dont want to pick on anyone,especially a sox fan

 

pena played center last year and looked more comfortable than he did in right field

but

drew is the better OF

i think he can get to more balls in center and maybe able to help pena out

 

we got some issues that havent been resolved

my feeling on jd drew is so very public and so very negative but 10days into the season its evident that we need him

im big enuff to admit when im wrong and hopefully drew makes me look like an idiot

[schillingouttheks]

I've never understood the dislike for Drew. He played a full year last year and put up 20 HR 100 RBI. I loved the signing. I understood everyone's displeasure with the amount, though. If this guy stays healthy, which I think he should (the Sox are giving him an off-day every 10ish days now I guess...), he'll be a force in the order. His talent was never in question, just his health. He's a tremendous upgrade over Nixon.
