  1. With the trading deadlines past, getting another pitcher is not an option, and they have no control over the pace of Buchholz's recovery. They do have time to see if AGon can play RF and make the routine plays.
  2. BTW, in the first game against Arizona in their biggest series of the season, Beltran is 4 for 4 with a HR a Triple and 3 RBI. What a bag o' suck!
  3. If the Sox make it to the world Series and Ortiz has to sit for 4 games, they are going to need another big bat. The bottom of their order would be Crawford, Salty/Tek, Reddick, Scutaro and the Pitcher. All of the production would have to come from the top 4 batters. I don't think they can produce enough to win with that lineup, and I am not hopeful that drew will return to being that big bat. Reddick was the hot hand, but he's not hot anymore. DMac is hitting more now than early on, but his production is still anemic.
  4. Hello 2nd place.
  5. Nah, I'm on to you. The Frank Malzone story never fooled me, nor did your temperamental exit.
  6. Dutchy unmasked,
  7. Albers is toast.
  8. Tito should bring in Wake if we close the gap a bit.
  9. I have no problem with the strike 3 call. AGon's approach in that AB sucked so hew shouldn't have whined about it.
  10. If Beltran's hand is fully healed, his September performance should leave Reddick in the dust. Taking into account that Beltran's August OPS is about 170 points higher than Reddick's, the fact that he has fewer extra base hits must be attriibutable to the time he missed do to the hand injury.
  11. Even the injured Beltran has been better in August than Reddick by a substantial margin and I think that will continue in September. If Beltran was too expensive for Theo's tastes, there were other options. If he had pulled the trigger on Beltran, and Beltran died the next day in a paddle boat accident in the Boston Commons, I would not be criticizing Theo.
  12. I hate interleague
  13. I said that I would give you the last word, but you should understand that my criticizing the FO for not getting another OF and evaluating the Giants' trade are two separate issues. I'm not looking to justify their trade or not. I really don't care. IMO, it's just stupid to fault a GM based on the guy getting a random injury for which he has had no history. And I still want an OF upgrade. Two separate issues. Let me tell you what I think you think since you constantly tell me what I think. I think you want to think that Wheeler is a prime "can't miss" prospect so you can feel better about Theo not getting the Sox a RF which they desperately need. That's annoying isn't it? I don't care if Wheeler turns out to be Lincecum, it will not make me feel any better about our RF situation and it will not make me less critical of the FO regarding the issue.
  14. Gardner is just the kind of guy that Cashman will package together with 1 or 2 overblown killer B prospects for an elite player. After the trade, Gardner would toild on a second division team as an unspectacular platoon/4th OFer and the prospects would never materialize. If it happens, it will be a brilliant move by Cashman, who we should woo right after Theo goes to the Cubs.
  15. How many more times do I have to say it. I think it is pretty clear what I am saying, but you apparently have interpreted another meaning. That's not my problem. Emmz, I understand your frustration. Pal, ORS Spitball and others you can take the last word telling me what I mean. I already said it very clearly and often. :dunno:
  16. In August since the trade, he batted .300 with a .773 OPS-- not bad for a guy with an injured hand. Reddick was healthy in August and he batted .208 with a .603 OPS.
  17. He went to the Mets organization. There's a good chance that ... Well, ... he becomes a Met.
