I will be glad if Iglesias finally gets his shot. I am already tired of Mr. Glass Part II with Stephen Drew. We should have never signed the fragile younger brother with the mangled ankle and eggshell skull.
-
I agree. That is how he looks, but he is one of those guys who hits us better than he hits the rest of the league. Add in the ridiculous short RF porch at Yankee stadium and I stand by my prediction that he will hurt us in the opening series if he goes to the Yanks. He would be a big improvement over Dan Johnson.
-
Cherries is a bit of a slow learner. Depth issues have been evident the entire off season. This guy is seriously short bus material.
-
If we cut Overbay when camp breaks, my two predictions are that he will be in the Yankee starting lineup against us in the opening series against us, and he will tear us up.
-
I think they will bring Overbay north regardless of how Nava is doing. If Overbay doesn't make the team, he will opt out of his contract and undoubtedly go to the Ya,kees who have a complete nobody journeyman penciled in at first base.

Good point.

I didn't give or deny credit to Theo in my post for 2004 and 2007 . I just tried to state the facts. He didn't have autonomy until after the 2007 season. How much credit he gets for 2004-2007 is something that we really can't determine, because LL was holding the reins tightly. Certainly, Theo gets credit, but we just don't know how much. He was reportedly against the trade that brought in Beckett and Lowell, significant players on the '07 team. Now, it is his show in Chicago. He will get all the credit and all the blame.
-
Theo inherited a stacked team built by Duke. He was a puppet in his early years when the Sox won their championships. When he was given more autonomy and control, he made one bad and expensive move after another that sowed the seeds of the team's downfall. He will get his chance to prove his worth in Chicago.
-
He is an accident waiting to happen.
-
He's been throwing more strikes than last year. That is a huge step forward, but the dominating velocity has not been there yet.
-
You will just shift you vendetta to another of the posters on your hate list telling them to stop with their opinions, or criticizing those posters for being critical of something about the Red Sox or their organization. You are a self appointed censor.
-
I had to edit the post you quoted. I left out "not" --changing the meaning significantly.
-
Good advice said the pig.
-
Nice, maybe his new approach is starting to pay dividends. His AB s have been much improved this spring-- much better contact.
-
We did, but I stepped away for a couple of hours and I was in mid post when I left.

I liked what I saw from Lester. I don't know if he recovered his movement and raw stuff, but he and Buchholz have both picked up the pace and established better rhythms which I think is a key to success for both of them. Lester has always had trouble when he labors and slows his pace since he first came to the majors. Once he started to quicken the pace and attack the zone he was successful. The same goes for Buchholz. In the last couple of years, I think Beckett had a very negative influence on both of them in this regard. If Dempster has found a new life with the splitter, maybe he will be effective despite subpar velocity. There has been more good news than bad with the starters. Lackey has had some bumps. Doubront has the stuff, but does he have the command to improve over last year. We don't have depth if any of these guys falter. Morales is having back trouble and he is not ready to take starts any time soon. He's not even ready for the pen. De La Rosa is not ready to be an MLB starter. I guess that Webster is first on the depth chart at this point.

If you could drop the personal animosity for a minute, you might be surprised that I do agree with you on occasion, and in this instance you convinced me that you were right to wait the 12 days.
-
Wow, a foursome - me and 3 *******s. I am enjoying this. Where do I start first?
-
If you read my post, I did not tell her to not butt in.
-
Yes, pretty much I am an open book. If you don't like the book, don't read it, you book burning censor.
-
Yes, and you needed to say it 5 times to counter my 3. Overkill.
-
He is intentionally a douche. He doesn't back away from it. But by all means butt in here too.
-
So you felt the need to point it out 5 times. I got what you were saying the first time.
-
There. Does that make it easier for you to understand. Although my post was very poorly worded, your interpretatiom that i was suggesting to have him start the season in Fenway, then sending him down if he couldn't hack it and then bringing him up again in 2 weeks just didn't make sense, especially since I posted this on the previous page: this last point is the key. This was my response to you a page earlier. In case you couldn't tell, I was agreeing with you.
-
*******. I never start with you, but you can't help yourself. *******s never can.
