The Sox will get to the playoffs without making any moves. Winning the Series will be difficult no matter who they face, because Ortiz will be sitting for 4 of the 7 games.

This is long hanging fruit. Theo needs to get this done.

Beltran is absolutely crushing the ball.

They are both adequate this season. IMO, Salty's ceiling is a bad year for Martin. Salty will never perform like Martin did in his early Dodger years. He just doesn't have the ability. My problem with the Salty/Martin thing isn't that we have Salty instead of Martin. We should have them both. The Sox should've signed Martin to keep him from the Yankees who would've been forced to go with Posada and Cervelli. That would have been a hoot to watch.

He's the best offensive player available and he is a switch hitter. That will be very big if we are facing Lee aand Hamel in the NL park. Reddick will get some good experience this season and a shot at the starting job next season. We need to stock up for the playoffs.

I have no position on Millwood other than that they should see what he has or release him. He used to be good. I said that we should see if he has anything left in the tank. How's that judging him retrospectively? I'm not the one who signed him when he washed out of the Yankee system.
-
He's been adequate. I have not said that he hasn't been adequate. He still stinks. His ceiling is not very high at all. What he is doing this season is probably as good as it will get with him.
-
No, you are just misunderstanding me. Millwood at the top of his game was not impressive but he was effective. He was a very good pitcher. Catfish Hunter was never impressive, but he was very effective-- a great pitcher. Some pitchers that don't throw very hard or have outstanding looking stuff are good pitchers. When I use the term "adequate", I mean an average player (at best). Hopefully, that clarifies what I have been saying.

The current crop of major league catchers is a stinky one, imo. Don't you know the rules about not carrying arguments over from other threads and about baiting. I'm not looking for an argument or to prove that Salty stinks. IMO, he stinks. He's a big stiff. He does nothing well, and he is barely adequate at most aspects of the game.
-
Salty is has been adequate, but not effective.
-
Plus Salty has never been impressive or effective. At best he has been adequate.
-
He actually won an ERA title. Salty will never win anything, because he stinks.
-
He is pitching very well lately. He had a very good major league career. We might as well see what he has left in the tank to get out major leaguers.
-
In his last 2 starts for Pawtucket, these were his lines: Jul 15 6 inn 5H 1R 3BB 5K Jul 20 7 inn 7H 1R 1BB 5K It doesn't look like he is getting lit up lately.
-
He probably doesn't need anyone to get to the playoffs, but they will need another big bat if they get to the World Series. The interleague play proved that playing with Ortiz on the bench is like playing with one arm tied behind your back.

Who cares if it would suck for Miller. It would suck for the team. -

With a day off tomorrow, call it a day after 6 inn and go to the pen. -
In this weather, it is hard not to stink.
-
I am happy with his production, but he still stinks.
-
For us he would be.
