    The thumb is getting better. He said that it feels the best that it has felt since he hurt it. Playing with it has no doubt slowed up the healing process, but it is healing. This is not life threatening or career threatening. People are way to dramatic about this. Sure he is not performing up to his standards, but that is for now. The team is better off with him out there and he will start producing like Pedroia again as it heals more. This is a ducking ding. It is probably affecting his video gaming more than anything. Do we have to obsess over this like he is made of fine porcelain.

    I still prefer a knicked up Pedroia. If we had Scutaro on the roster or Lowrie, I'd DL him to let him heal, but no one else in the organization. I was impressed by Ciraciao in Spring Training, but he is a career scrub, so I can't see making that move..

    If he can remember how.

    For 2 months, the price always ends up being much lower than people anticipate.
  6. a700hitter
    There is no way that his price should be so high. The Phillies didn't pay such a price for Halladay when they got him.

    Doubront showed flashes in Spring Training and at the beginning of the season. He has had games where he has struck out batters in bunches and been very hard to make solid contact against. He pitched brilliantly against the yankees in the debacle where they lost the 9 run lead. Bard was at best passable in some starts, never brilliant, not even for an inning or two. They waited until he deteriorated to the point where he can no longer remember how to pitch effectively.

    Once they realized that Bard was not going to be a top of the rotation guy, they should have aborted the project and sent him back to his role where he is an elite performer. There were not any flashes of brilliance as a starter. Yes, you expect bumps along the way of the transition, but he never flashed any brilliance. You expect to see some indication of what you expect him to become. There were no flashes, because in my opinion he just doesn't have the ability to be more than a 4th or 5th starter. Those guys are a dime a dozen.

    2010 was a broken foot. The hairline fracture was in a spot where it would be hard to heal without surgery regardless if he played. They let him play because it was not a weight bearing bone. If he could tolerate the pain, he couldn't damage it any worse. It turned out to be too painful to play through. He didn't damage it or aggravate it. It was just too painful to play through. That was a broke bone. This is not and as long as there is not too much discomfort he can play. Everyone treats these guys like they are eggs that need to be perfect. If you are going to play 150+ games a year, you are going to get dinged. This is a ding, not a career ending injury.He'll be putting on a Laser Show within a week. If you DL him, this team will go right in the tank with or without Ciraciao, and it would stay on track until Pedroia came back and got his timing back.

    An injured Pedroia is better than Ciriaco also. That's the thing with super stars like Pedroia. There are usually no acceptable replacements for guys like that Most of the replacements when healthy are not as good as the star is when he is hurt. Yes, his numbers are suffering right now, but f*** the numbers. The Red Sox are a better team when he is on the field. The only numbers that matter are wins. Period.

    ^ Why is deliberate trolling permitted when the person brings nothing else to the table. Enough of him. Mods, ban him!!!:banned::banned:

    If the doctor's think that playing presents a risk of a full tear, by all means sit him, but if they feel it is not a risk, then he should be playing, because he is much better than Punto. Plus, he is a leader.

    The Yankees ruined Joba and Hughes shuttling them back and forth between the bullpen and rotation. Bard is a trampoline accident away from being a Joba-like disaster.
  15. a700hitter
    The injury will heal as he plays. Drop him in the order for a while, but the team is much better off with a dinged up Pedroia than Punto on HGH. He has a sore thumb, but he can still play and swing the bat -- just not up to his standards. I don't care what his stats are right now. His presence on the field is extremely important to the team. The hits will come.
  16. a700hitter
    The guy is a hitting fool. This is what he needs to do if he is going to stick. He needs to get on base much more than the other guys-- and he is doing that!
  17. a700hitter
    His bat is supercharged!!! He has to play.
  18. a700hitter
    The whole sports media is out of control with the rumor-mongering.
  19. a700hitter
    Pedroia like this is still better than Punto.
  20. a700hitter
    Pedroia is back in the lineup tonight and so is Middlebrooks. Youk is sitting.

    I like to give free reign or rein. A King should know when he has no clothes.
