    I haven't heard any rumors yet, but I agree that the rotation needs more of a shot in the arm than Owens. Maybe they are waiting to see how fast ER progresses. I would expect that to take another month to see what he can offer the rotation.

    He did have value regardless of any negative feelings he might have had. He was healthy and throwing well and he was under contract for the following year at the league minimum. He had tremendous value as a trade chip imo. Not only didn't they get anything of value in return. They took on extra payroll. It was a huge whiff by Ben, even if Lackey had started to walk around with a bucket of chicken under one arm while holding a six pack with his other hand.

    He is damaged goods. I guess that they might be keeping him because they would have to eat his whole contract if they parted ways with him now. They will probably let this play out a little longer to see if somehow he can rebuild a little value. I don't think that will happen. I agree with you. The handwriting is on the wall. Pablo has no future with the Red Sox organization.

    Hopefully, he gets back in the lineup soon. And he stays in the groove. For today,we get to watch Young face a RHP.

    What is the word on Bogaerts? He was just starting to heat up with the bat.

    Remy knows the balance between being informative about the game and overanalyzing. Many color guts do not.
  7. a700hitter
    That was scary
  8. a700hitter
    It is not enough to justify the bad defense.
  9. a700hitter
    The Rangers with bases loaded and no one out hit into 9-3-2-6-2-5 triple play. Wild play!
  10. a700hitter
    V He doesn't hit enough yet to justify his substandard defense.

    When a knuckleball pitcher is on a good run, they make it look so easy.
  12. a700hitter
    Swihart is not good at the position.
  13. a700hitter
    WEEI's website had the Sox lineup.

    They shouldn't even be in the same sentence. Myers dragged his wife by the hair through the streets of Boston.
  15. a700hitter
    I wonder if his parents will be interviewed in the stands about this.

    No one on his team came to his defense, not even the young guys. Harper has a reputation in his locker room as a douche.
  18. a700hitter
    Who knows what makes the knuckle ball dance.
  19. a700hitter
    Myers beat his wife to a pulp so badly that he got arrested while out of town on a road trip. I don't remember Papelbon doing anything bad while on Boston. He certainly didn't do anything like Myers. I think you are being unfair to him.

    i just don't remember much negative about him in the press when he was in Boston. He danced in his underwear when he celebrated in 2007, but everyone got a good laugh out of that. I just can't recall him having any negative incidents with the press, the fans or the manager. You are revising history. We get it that you don't like him, but the guy did the job for us for a lot of years without incident.
  21. a700hitter
    We need a game thread. MVP, you were on of the few that had good mojo last year. Start us off on a run.
  22. a700hitter
    The s***** attitude fit Philly. As for choking Harper, a lot of people felt that Harper could use a good ass kicking. He is pretty high on the jack ass scale. At least he went after a big stud with an attitude and not the 65 year old traveling secretary. It couldn't have been looked at as such a terrible thing by the organization as they have kept Papelbon and gotten rid of Storen. I don't hold it against our guys if they leave us, because we don't want to pay them. It's not like he went to the Yankees. Maybe the guy rubbed you the wrong way, but I don't think he was considered unlikeable in Boston.
  23. a700hitter
    The Globe should go out of business
  24. a700hitter
    DH will be open next season.
  25. a700hitter
    i get tired of pointless Papelbon hate. You do it to get under Iortiz's skin, but there is zero reason for Red Sox fans to hate him. He was great for us and durable. Opinions to the contrary about his time in Boston are unsupported by facts and just stupid. So, yeah I get tired of it. No one is saying that we want him back. We have Kimbrel now in his prime.
