The " Where I stand " Thread

[BSN07]

OK guys, I thought this might be a fun idea, if you don't feel the need to post here then thats fine too. This thread is ment to show where you stand on any player, for the Red Sox or not. I know we all have our opinions splashed across this message board and in long forgotten threads. Now this will bring everyone including new users up to speed on where you stand past, present and future. It will make it easy to come back and research if someone is a flip flopper or sticks by there word, or have to admit about how wrong they where about any certain player:D

 

I don't have time right now to get into mine, but I will be back later on to fill out my Sox List, I hope everyone enjoys and has fun with this idea:thumbsup:

I think that Sal Fasano needs to start in Cleveland.

[TheKilo]

JD Drew is my boy.

[ORS]

Cora is a statue in the field. Despite his steady hands, he should not be used as a late inning defensive replacement.

[BSN07]

Tek- Love the guy and what he has done, but I also understand his days may be numbered, and would not fault the Sox if they looked for an upgrade,

 

Youkilis- Great glove, good bat, if he can hold up in the 2nd half I would be more sold on him. Although he had a good Post Season so that helps.

 

2B- Pedroia is money and they should try and keep him for long term.

 

SS- Lugo, No proof but I believe he is a former Roid user, if the Sox can get rid of himit would be a plus.

 

3B- Lowell is as Lowell does, solid player.

 

OF- Manny, the Sox should honestly pick up his options, do it one at a time if it will help keep him motivated.

Ellsbury- He is the CF, he may be down avg wise but all rookies struggle at some point or another. This guy is a spark plug, and its always nice to have one.

Drew- I've been a supporter since day 1, hes a solid RF, I understand hes fragile, but if he plays 140 games a year and hits like he has this year thats fine by me.

 

 

SP

Beckett- #1 ACE, is there anything else I need to say?

Dice-K- Has capability to be a 1a-2 SP. Hes not a ACE, but he has great stuff when he can control it. If he was able to pitch with more control/consistancy I'd be higher on him.

Lester- I think Lester has turned a corner and is on his way to be a top LH pithcer in the league.

Wake- Solid contributor, his ups are wonderful and his downs are putrid but he eats innings and is a great clubhouse presence.

 

Ill do more later.....

Where I stand...

 

Love the Red Sox and root for the name on the front of the uni.

 

These guys ain't my heroes, role models, or friends and they certainly don't pay my bills, while I suppose you could argue that I help pay their's. They're grown men fortunate to have been blessed with skills that allow them to play a kid's game for a very lucrative career. A game that I'd gladly play for a fraction of what they make.

 

As such I reserve the right to support them or bash them as I see fit.
