  1. He was running the show. We have a bloated MLB payroll and the team is poorly constructed. There was apparently little thought about the role that CC would play. The minor leagues is bereft of any talent that can help the big club for several years.
  2. That's some screwball stuff. Adults in a business environment should have been able to iron out those differences. The babies in baseball never cease to surprise me.
  3. 4. Doubront 5. Iglesias 6. Anderson 7. Britton This is horrible. Doubront is almost to the point where he will fall out of prospect status. Iglesias still can't hit the side of a barn with a paddle. Anderson? Are you kidding? Britton? Didn't he have a Lackey type season in A ball. That doesn't bode well at all. Our system is weak. If we could load all 4 of these guys into a trade package fo a decent player, we should be grateful.
  4. If you had run him down, you would have been a bigger pariah in New England than Bartman had been in Chicago.
  5. I still don't understand what happened with this guy last year. He was doing extremely well in the minors, but we didn't bring him up even though our pen was garbage.
  6. Welcome to TalkSox.
  7. SpudBoy almost ran over Nomar once. Does that count?
  8. Fenway prior to it's building up behind home plate was very reminiscent of Ebbetts Field for my dad. The first time I went there with my dad was in the early '70's. It was the closeness of the action and the neighborhood feel, and the walking to a ballpark by the fans.
  9. They still need a RH OFer, even though it is not as crucial as the need for pitching. Which RH OFerdo you like?
  10. Other RH OF choices are Andruw Jones, Gomes, and Burrell.
  11. I am even cheaper than Wakefield and i can't get anyone out either. I don't think they should sign me or Wakefield.
  12. I saw Lowrie in the first year he was invited to Spring Training, and his swing impressed me from the very beginning. I still think he would be a very good offensive middle infielder, but he just can't stay on the field. He's never going to set any iron man records.
  13. Ross wouldn't be a terrible choice for a platoon OFer to share time with Kalish or Reddick.
  14. After a story like this appears in the press is when the Yankees are the most dangerous. They are probably waiting for Kuroda and the Sox to exchange figures, and then they will swoop in and give him his asking price or something very close to it.
  15. Welcome to TalkSox, eh.
  16. I wasn't opposed to the idea of Bard being a starter if they had kept Papelbon or replaced Papelbon with an established closer. As the roster is currently constructed, I'd prefer that Bard goes back to the pen, but that could change based on their future moves.
  17. If the quote below is your explanation for saying the my contributions to the thread were "intended to be obnoxious", not only is it gibberish, but it is based on a false premise that I have admitted to knowing nothing about the Red Sox prospects. I have never made any such any such admission. Even if I had made such an admission, saying that my contributions were "intended to be obnoxious" is not an insult? Really?
  18. ... and you could have let it all drop after my responding comment said only "nice baseball discussion." I was giving it a pass after being called stupid and obnoxious, but you couldn't even let that go . How petty.
