    Just look at Kevin Youkilis!!!!! He didn't make it as a regular with the Red Sox until he was 27 years old in 2006. That's plain disgusting!!!!!!! Good young players should get into the lineup or rotations by the time they are 22-24 and given a chance to develop and prosper. There is no way now the Red Sox trade Boegarts, Brentz, Bradley, Barnes or even Sands. Give them a chance to show what they can do and let's hope some young pitcher shines in ST as it happens with other teams. I don't want to see us trade for mediocre pitchers or players anymore and keep young kids down "for more god damn seasoning". You know, I could accept 2013 as a rebuilding year if the Red Sox were sincere and determined to make do with what they have, but from everything we know about Lucchino he likes to make splashes and that was his MO in Baltimore and San Diego and has been his MO here. Start playing the kids as soon as possible and if that means by the middle of next season, fine!!!!!! Do it!!!!!!!

    We did that knuckler dance with Wakefield until it got sickening. Always we heard an economical signing where money saved became the focal point while the guy became shittier and shittier by the year. One good thing we can say f or Valentine was that he most definitely didn't want the gu y around or we might still be sending that bum out to the mound to get lit up. He should have been sent out to pasture five years before he did. No more knucklers. They need their own catcher and tie up a roster spot.

    Be grateful about one thing Lines. If the Rays hadn't stepped in and signed Loney, Fredo would have snapped him up and we'd be playing the worst offensive iB in baseball for the next two years. As far as the falling apart is concerned, are you becoming convinced that our front office is about as inept as any in baseball? They most likely will blow another signing as they seem to have become adept at the past few years.
  4. seabeachfred
    Can't argue with that either Jung. We've certainly had our sare of "piss poor everything else".
  5. seabeachfred
    Unless you're the Rays or A's!!!!!! Well who can argue with that after what happened this season, but we've had nothing but s***** luck the past four seasons. Miserable play from key players, crushing injuries by the boatload, inept front office moves, and tension and dissension in the ranks. Think maybe that finally WE could be due for some good breaks? It seems to me to be our turn finally. You think?????

    I was once a very big Ellsbury fan and went at it with some Jacoby hater on Dirt Dogs for months back in 2007 when he was talking up Coco Crisp, a comparison I thought was ridiculous on his part. However, I have soured deeply on Ellsbury for the reasons Palodios outlined. This guy not only gets hurt all the time but he never seems to heal. An injury and he just disappears. IMO, if he has a banner year he will get a couple of impressive offers but if he pulls a 2010 or 2012 next season he will be lucky to sign a one-year contract and hope that he stays in one piece for a change so he can cash in the following winter. Sad but very true that his glass body doesn't seem to be able to take the hard knocks of the game.

    Well we will just have to see LS. There is beef but a lot of it my be marbled fat. Time will tell and that's the best I can do for you, me and the rest of the crew here. Unless the inept Cherington swings a major trade for a top notch pitcher this is the crew we're going into the season with. Pray for two things. One that Lester and Buchholz finally pitch as a top winning tandem and that someone at Pawtucket develops fast and is ready to help us by the summer, and that goes for Lackey, Doubrant and Dempster.

    No, you are gullible or you wouldn't have said that. You would have come at me in a different way, but you did just what that other gullible guy did. I never doubted your fandom otherwise I would have said so. As for retarted statements, if not following the party line makes retarded then I plead guilty, and I'm still waiting for you to throw any kind of barb the front office's way. You still seem to defend just about everything they do and that has to be bogus because for the last four seasons just about everything they've touched has turned to s***. Am I too critical? Yes!!! I expect more from them and demand more from them as a fan. We haven't won a damn thing in over five seasons, not a division, not an AL title or a WS...NOTHING. I expect them to put a championship contender on the field every year. We're not a small market team; we are supposed to be one of the perennials and I want the front office to start acting like we are that.

    Bingo Bellhorn----that's three of us that have said that today, you, BSN07 and me, and I would imagine the whole board is in agreement with that. The problem is neither one of them stepped up late in the 2011 season and didn't do it for a season this time around---AND THEY MUST STEP UP with no excuses or hang-dog attitudes. BSN put it best....if Lester and Buchholz pitch up to their capabilities we could actually have a good rotation, especially if Lackey comes back and pitches as he did for the Angels before his elbow trouble rendered him a liabiity. We all have to hope those things come to pass because I don't see us adding another pitcher after signing Dempster today. Let's also hope he pitches like Dempster and not Dumpster.

    I liked the Napoli signing from the minute it occurred and that's why I hope it doesn't unravel. The guy is versatile, a good RH power hitter who can hit 30 homers for us and play three spots----1B, C and DH. What's not to like. I just hope the front office doesn't botch this one up. Uehara I like for the bullpen....a very good move IMO. Ross as a reserve catcher is fine. He throws well and handles the pitching staff top notch. Gomes? Facing lefties it's good news. Facing righties and playing in the field is not so good news. That's two out of three in the negative. I'm not sold there. As for Victorino, keep in mind that Cameron was a great clubhouse guy too and he stunk. I want to see Vic come back and hit and field and run and be a leader in the clubhouse. Fair or not, I think the jury is out there. Dempster? I saw him shut us out this June in Chi town when he was tearing up the NL, but we know the AL is stronger. Jury is out on him too.
  11. seabeachfred
    Well Glen, Felix and Kershaw are not walking through that Red Sox door, but if Lester and Buchholz would pitch like the way they are supposed to we could put together an adequate staff that could surprise some people, including us. They just need to do it and for that matter Lackey has to come back to being at least a credible pitcher. The AL East is wide open next season and that is why Cherington must move his ass to get the reinforcements we need to compete. His glacial pace is irritating, though signing Dempster MIGHT be a move in the right direction. At least he's not Cook or Germano.
  12. seabeachfred
    I wish we would move in on Swisher now before some other team "swoops" in a takes him. The guy switch hits, can play two OF positions as well as first base and hits around 25to 28 homers a year and hits in the 260's and 270's. We all know that Salty stinks as defensive catcher and we may have to use Napoli some there, especially when Lackey pitches and that leaves first base open. LaRoche would be good too but he has not been on the Red Sox's radar and I think that makes him a gone goose. Pena? No thanks; the guy can no longer reach the Mendoza line and I'll take your word on Morse BSN because I claim ignorance on him. I know nothing about the guy.

    Have a safe trip MVP and maybe work on your memory. As for PG, I never understood why he and Muggah were banned. They were honest and they told the truth as they saw it, and as it turned out they were right in their sordid predictions. Maybe when you get back Cherington will have done something to make us all feel good.
  14. seabeachfred
    Ten teams????? You bought into that too just like Gulliblelinski? I guess that makes you Gullibiinovich!!!!!!
  15. seabeachfred
    A piss poor memory maybe MVP?????? Let me refresh it. When the season unraveled as i predicted it would before the season began, I told all of you that rather than let my anger and frustration get the best of me I decided to leave the board rather than dump my baggage on you and others. It certainly wasn't because I defended everything the front office did and when it all came apart left the board because I couldn't face the music as your pal UN did. Big difference!!!!! I predicted right and he predicted wrong. We left for different reasons and since your memory is addled I just straightened you out.
  16. seabeachfred
    Dojji means well Sox Sport but he can't help himself. He is wedded to the bone to carry on the company line even when their incompetence just jumps out at you. Saving his ammunition???? How damn ridiculous is that?
  17. seabeachfred
    It's quite possible we now have the absolute worst front office in the game. Henry is a wimp who spends so much of his time with his various and sundry enterprises that he only has time for that and chasing his wife around the bed. Lucchino fancies himself as a cutting edge type of baseball guru, but truth be known, he doesn't really know s*** from shinola about talent and he has already been run out of two other towns where he helped run the team into the ground. Tom Werner raped the Padres when he owned them, trading off all his good players and then fleeing the city. Cherington? Well he still has his stubborn supporters on the board, but the guy is two pounds of turd in a one pound package and a total inept GM, and yet we have apologists for these guys here and everywhere else. Are some of us super critical? Certainly, but what has this organization done the past few years to inspire confidence in them? They have turned a once model franchise into a laughing stock.
  18. seabeachfred
    That didn't turn out to be the case BSN. We have him now and I just wonder what we have. I have some concerns how he will do in the AL, but compared to the crap we s igned last winter this might be a small step in the right direction. Question for you and others.....if the Napoli deal collapses who plays first base for us in 2013? Well at least Loney signed so we won't have to worry about that bum playing for us. That would have been like getting hit by a 2 by four in the head.
  19. seabeachfred
    Well Palodios, for all your smarts and ability on the baseball front I'm still surprised that you still refuse to see that Cherington is a total incompetent. What makes matters worse is that Lucchino thinks he is a baseball demigod and he is pathetic too. When you add owner Prune Face Henry and his babbling sidekick Werner to the mix you just might have the most incompetent front office in baseball. I mentioned this to 700 Hitter a few hours ago. I can think of owners who were bad, GM's who were pathetic and even CEO's that left a lot to be desired but I cannot recall any front office that was so loaded with a pack of inept asshats as the Red Sox have. It is beyond pathetic; it is tragic and the fans are going to be the ones made to suffer.
  20. seabeachfred
    Sounds like something our front office boobs would do. I'm really craning my brain trying to think of any other front office that has been as inept and screwed up as our has been the past four seasons. I've come up with a bum in a number of front offices but none with the pile of assbutts that our is honeycombed with. They are simply pathetic.
  21. seabeachfred
    The way they're going, I say that most likely they won't do it and we will be dumpster diving again for the type of trash that waylaid us last season. Your posts are always hard hitting but I do get irritated as your continued defending of the our seemingly inept front office. This is the same crap I heard from you last off season, and when the season exploded early and we were left in the crapheap you conveniently scurried off the board and not seen again until the end of the season. If things end up the same way again, I expect that this time you will stay on board, show some guts and courage and face the music. OTOH, if things work out differently and the team flourishes because of the things you said and that the front office did so, well, I'll be the first to send a pile of kuddos your way.
  22. seabeachfred
    He hit 255 this past season, his OPS was way down from 2011, he had trouble hitting from the left side and we are not talking about his great 2011 season. We are talking about this past season-----and he was lousy this year. I saw it with my own eyes. I live in LA, remember? He stunk with the Dodgers. Grounders to the second baseman and short flies to left field by the gross. That's what I mean by down. He stunk this season, pure and simple. Hand? Maybe. Maybe not. He never complained or had it checked out so the whole thing can be one big canard. IMHO it was a bad signing.
  23. seabeachfred
    If this Napoli thing blows up in Lucchino and Henry's faces as so much has the past few years, they better get their asses in gear and sign both Hamilton and Swisher and to hell with the money. We have it; we need to now spend it, and then use a trade or sign a fa pitcher or two. I cannot believe the total incompetence of those who run the Red Sox. It is a wonder they weren't exposed for the boobs they are long before this.
  24. seabeachfred
    Someone said the Napoli deal may be in trouble. Anyone know anything about that? I still don't like Victorino signing. I think whether he had a bad hand last season or not his numbers are on the way down---and we do need another big hitter in the lineup as well as at least one solid starting pitcher. So what the hell is the hangup? We have the money, there are people who can help out there, so why is Cherington suddenly acting like Fredo again. For those who say other teams are now quiet too, my response is those teams didn't go 69-93 this past season, they did not stink their city up, they were not a disgrace to themselves and their fans. It is time to move and get the job done.
  25. seabeachfred
    The market says otherwise and the Red Sox are going to have to listen to the market or we will be bottom feeders again. Sure, the Lackey overpay was seemingly a disaster unless he comes back strong his last two years, but this past season was even worse. I mean look at some of the garbage we trotted out there this year. It was a disgrace to what was and had been a proud franchise. Also, keep in mind that guys like Lester and Buchholz have proven time and again that they are totally ill-equipped to lead a pitching staff, and I don't think that is going to change next season unless we get a gigantic smile from Dame Fortune. And who wants to bet on that? Sign or trade for a couple of starters and do it as quickly at time will permit or they'll all be gone or traded.
