The new information about Kalish's unavailability throws a bit of a wrench into things. I think he woulkd have gotten the bulk of PT in RF sharing it with a platoon RH OFer. This forces them to make some OF move, because right now their OF is crawford, Ellsbury, Sweeney and D Mac/ Aviles. That's just horrible. D Mac is terrible. It's great that Aviles is working hard in Winter Ball to learn to play the OF, but RF in Boston requires a top fielding outfield, and I can't see Aviles getting to that level. I don't know much about Cespedes. Andruw Jones is still out there and he is a good RH platoon choice who can play all 3 OF positions. He is still comparatively young despite the gut that he is carrying around. Maybe if he shows that he is in shape, the Sox can give him the opportunity to win the full time job before Kalish comes back.

Let's hope Crawford answers the door.

Me too.

He looked pretty shot last year. I think he is probably through.

Telling someone to stop a discussion is being an a-hole on a message board. No one has been saying anything offensive to each other, just disagreeing.

Move on already! Good God!

But I do reserve the right to raise the issue again.....because IT'S A MESSAGE BOARD. The name of the thread is quite self-explanatory. There are at least two sides of this issue. If you are tired of the discussion, why would you keep coming back to the thread? Move on! Good God!

I let go of it a page ago. Good God!

Are you mixing him up with Mike Sweeney formerly of KC? His knees were a mess.:dunno:

Well, I would never throw good beer or vodka.

The real question is: could any of this hurt Crawford's already horrendous 2011 performance? I don't think so. What was his excuse for stinking up the field in every aspect last season?

If you are going to make a phony thread atleast make it funny-- something like:" Bartolo Colon Dies of Embolism During Medical Insertion into Shoulder of HGH Fortified Fat."

I didn't know that he had an additional surgery. This should lower his value as a trading chip. He may also be looking at another lost season if he hits any bumps in the road.

I realize that, and I hope the Sox kept the right kid, but if looking at his development up to this point is all we have, I don't expect much from him in 2012 other than some emergency innings. We don't have guys that can come up and give quality innings for any sustained period. I don't see that capability coming down the pike for some time.

I don't disagree with the ordering of your priorities, but the over all grade is still so-so, IMO. If depth was the #1 priority, it would be much worse than so-so. Kalish is most probably the RF starter. He's not depth. He no longer has rookie status. He was a major leaguer in 2010 who got derailed by injuries. Lavarnway really has no position. Unless they can get him to the point of being a competent catcher, we don't need a 24 year old DH. We'll have to see if Middlebrooks is ready in 2013 to be a centerpiece. It usually takes a couple of years at the major league level before a guy establishes himself and he is at least a year away from the majors. That's why i said 2-3 years away. Not everyone hits the ground running like Pedroia. Very few do, and even he had a couple of bumpy months (Sept 2006 and April 2007). He's the exception.
