    Yes, he looked magnificent against a team with a cleanup hitter batting .087.
  2. a700hitter
    It's nice to be winning the one run games. They only got 5 hits. When the bats heat up, these guys should steam roll through most of the league.

    ARod typically hitting a HR with the team up 7-2. Very, very clutch.
  4. a700hitter
    Juicer-ambi hits a homer. Freakin cheater.

    I like Wily Mo going the other way.

    Manny flashing leather again. He worked very hard on defense this spring...no joking he really did.
  7. a700hitter
    Nice catch by Manny. All field No hit.
  8. a700hitter
    Manny has taken some good swings the last couple of days. He hit some loud fouls yesterday, and he just hit a bullet at Beltre. It's coming. It's coming.

    RF in Fenway is very tough and it will expose many OF's . Last year, I was at Fenway and I watched Figgins look lost out there. We have also been spoiled by Nixon. I heard about some statistical study that showed that Trot is the best RF, but I don't have a link. I like Wily Mo, and I think he will be an offensive force.

    Let's hope nothing gets hit to Pena for the next two innings and then Stern goes in for defense.

    Terry's playing the starters today!

    I am glad to see thatg this kid is doing well. He could've been destroyed by what happened to him in the majors last summer.
  13. a700hitter
    Now we are getting on the same page. You have four guys slotted for the majors. I agree with three: Hansen, Papelbon (who is already there) and Pedroia. I think Hansen and Papelbon can be stars. I am not ruling out Lester. I am just not sure whether Del Carmen or one of the other kids has better prospects.

    I can't believe that they are not proposing a retractable roof. Minneapolis can get snow in Sept. and it's cold as hell in April.

    Racist? That's just out of line. Riverboy can be an ass, but none of us know him well enough to hang a "Racist" tag on him.

    Are you a scout? I like these young arms, and it was a particular treat to see them paraded one after the other at ST, but (there's always a but) I temper my enthusiasm because it is a real long shot that most of them make it. I would be very happy if Hansen becomes a star, and if three of the rest become good ML pitchers. Two years from now, a good number of the current crop will have fallen by the wayside, and we will be discussing a new crop. Papelbon is the goods. Barring injury, he'll be a pretty good ML pitcher for a while. I am reserving judgment on Lester. It is not encouraging to me that he is apparently a little messed up right now. Hopefully, something will click for the kid and everything will fall into place.

    Oh, we have a teacher. Parents are to blame as well, because they should be demanding that the schools hold teachers to higher standards. Too many teachers just don't give a rat's ass, and school administrators are only concerned about squandering their already bloated budgets on more administrative personnel. How many deans and assistant principals does a school need? Is an Assistant Dean of Bathroom Supplies a good expenditure of taxpayer dollars?
  18. a700hitter
    It worked for me. Cool video.
  19. a700hitter
    Do you project them as major leaguers, and if so, when?
  20. a700hitter
    How about blaming the teachers that don't know grammar or spelling.
  21. a700hitter
    What about Bucholz and Bowden?
  22. a700hitter
    Hansen has command of his fastball, and he proved in ST that he can get out ML hitters. They are fine-tuning his slider, so he can dominate ML hitters. Lester hasn't mastered any of his pitches, and he has not yet proved that he can get out ML or AAA hitters. Not everyone of these prospects will make it. Of all the arms in the organization, maybe 4 become successful major league pitchers that last a few years. You'd be lucky if two become stars. The rest are washouts or at best journeymen. The FO has to figure out which guys make it and try to trade as many of the rest to improve the team. Which 4 do you think will have major league careers, and which two become stars?
  23. a700hitter
    Duh, don't all fans act like scouts, Mr. "Miller will be drafted first"?
  24. a700hitter
    I hope he makes it big. I hope the kid comes up in a month or two and electrifies the Fenway Faithful like Papelbon did last year. I don't see it happening. He's not that close. Don't forget that he is younger than Papelbon. However, if he starts to regress they should move him while his value is so high.

    Mo was pissed. Riv and 26 are still screaming at their walls.
