If Elias can be sent down, I am not seeing the possible roster crunch if we get another middle of the rotation pitcher.
-
Elias is not a mid-rotation guy.
-
or maybe the roster crunch is dealt with by moving one of the current pitchers in the transaction to get a pitcher.

The statement coming from Farrell during Spring Training was startling and it definitely reveals a deep concern whether the team is better off with Sandoval. IMO, it is not. He came to camp without doing the appropriate preparation to play at a major league level. He looks like a hot pile of garbage in the field. His offense has been declining steadily. I think they need to cut their losses with him. I just don't see his upside being worth holding down Shaw and Travis. If Sandoval works his tail off and turns the clock back a couple of years, he was just not a great player. He was above average at best -- and that is his upside. I don't see the value waiting hand hoping for his upside. Better players are waiting in the wings. DD needs to move on from him. I doubt that Farrell's comments will have the desired effect of lighting a fire under Pablo.

I am confident that Pablo will bounce this season.

I wanted to see a thinner more athletic Pablo when I got to Fort Myers, but what I saw was a guy that was as heavy as he was at the end of last year, maybe bigger, who can't bend over, can't charge balls and throw on the run, and who waddles like a fat duck. I didn't want to see any of that, but that is the reality.

How did he look to you on pop-ups?
-
One of your favorite Conservatives also says it. LOL!!
-
Good luck with it. I hope that you get a big settlement. You have suffered a lot and my recollection is that you could have been killed.
-
I would be on-board with getting Sale. Price and Sale at the top of the rotation would be better than when we had Pedro and Schill.
-
Wasn't your broken back caused a defective door? I hope that you got some insurance money for that. My recollection is that it was an extremely dangerous condition on that property.
-
Start measuring him for a Gold Glove.
-
I have had all the surprises that I can stand in the last 2 seasons when the last GM told us that he liked our pitching. i just want some competitive baseball through the end of August. The 2016 staff will be better than last season, but I don't get the point of adding Price at $217 million to have a mediocre staff.
-
We need another starter. Our depth is just not that good.
-
Oh goodie goodie!! We will get the pleasure of being tortured by again watching a knuckleballer take the hill every 5th day.
-
Have you tried Two Meatballs in the Kitchen near the JetBlue Park. Last year, they scaled back the menu, but it was still very good.
-
If you want to do some fine dining, it is worth the trip into Naples. Fifth Ave is full of great restaurants. Also in the Mercato shopping center in Naples there are a lot of great place to eat.

Are you staying in Fort Myers or Fort Myers Beach? I stay on the beach, but in March, the traffic on that island is a beach. We have learned to stay on the southern tip of the island to avoid the really bad traffic.

Just for fun - great Sox postseason relief performances

And the Mets manager gave away 2 games. -
How long have you been there? If I had known you were there, I would have arranged to stop by and say hello. I agree about Pablo. He has looked awful in the field. The balls that he has fielded cleanly he has thrown poorly. Did you see Travis's 2 HRs today. This guy's bat will work its way to the bigs very soon. IMO, Pablo is not needed on this team. He is holding back better players. DD needs to cut bait with him.
-
He is not going to win a gold Glove, and he will not make the highlight reel for his fielding, but he will hurt us less at 1B than LF.
-
I am just surprised that players still read the sports pages. What could a writer tell them that they don't already know about. Most players are smart enough to let it roll of their back. Pablo is being overly sensitive. I don't know of anything very critical written about his fielding recently.
-
The reporter should have told him to stop making errors and then he will not have to report them.
-
There were a number of reports that he was swinging unimpeded. There was even a report that it was not hurting his throwing. We waited and waited. Then there were reports that he would not play 1B until he was completely comfortable at 1B. We waited some more. We read that he was working at 1B and that we would see him there sometime in September. We waited. Then he got sent home and the shoulder was the reason.

All that Panda gear and memorabilia?
