Just a friendly reminder of the last time this discussion was happening: http://www.sbnation.com/2013/4/19/4242376/jackie-bradley-jr-red-sox-demotion-david-ortiz

In my opinion, Travis Shaw is going to play a big role on this team. Is he going to start based on his spring? No and he shouldn't. The best play is to keep his big bat ready to patch any early season struggles from Castillo and Sandoval, while at the same time lighting a fire under Pablo's and Rusney's asses. Both of them have already been paid handsomely, so whatever motivating factors you can utilize the better.

It's coming up on 11 years since I first graced this .com address. Was curious as to who is still around from the old days?

Definitely more patient at the plate too, his walk rate is up.

How about bringing back Alex Gonzalez to back up Iglesias and mentor him?

My parents did hit me a lot. Awkward... Just kidding. You'll always be a great guy in my book, Derek.

Dice-K should definitely be DFA'd over Nava.

Talksox is my work

Pretty easy question. Once Pedey comes back from the DL, who stays on as the backup/utility infielder? Pokey, I mean Pedro is 10/12 with a few RBI's since coming up. Even though he had a hot spring training, he never got the chance to play on the big league squad and he's made the most of the oppurtunity with a few clutch hits that have won us 2 games so far. Punto had a slow start, but since June 1: .300/.368/.444, 4 SB. He can play more positions and is reportedly a great clubhouse presence. The last option probably means cut Lillibridge.

Verizon, but dude I just came to the site at work and everything was normal. Than I logged in and tried posting and it gave me the same forbidden message and now the site won't load at work anymore. On a proxy again. DAVE UNBAN ME I AM THE HEART AND SOUL OF TALKSOX

Am I banned? Whenever I try to get to the site it says Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Using a proxy right now

This guy is fantastic. Tough game to lose but loved watching him pitch.

Salty hit for the cycle tonight minus the triple, I wouldn't worry too much...

Gotta bring Youk up this weekend and send the kid back down for a bit.

Gabe Kapler ceiling.
