    If he keeps hitting, I could see that as very probable.
  2. a700hitter
    After the regular season, but no later than the week after the World Series.
  3. a700hitter
    I may be calling him Dumbass Dombrowski in the future but Ben had to go. He earned it. I wonder if a new GM will be named too.
  4. a700hitter
    Dombrowski will be President of Baseball Operations. Cherington declined to stay on as General Manager but will stay on to assist in the transition.
  5. a700hitter
    Heads had to roll. Next is the coaching staff.
  6. a700hitter
    It had to be done. Now, we have a true professional in charge.

    If we want to keep him, he probably needs to hit .250 or .260, but with Betts and Castillo and Hanley, there is no room for Bradley. If we want him to bring back a top pitcher on a trade, we need him to rake for the rest of 2015. The fielding will not be enough. Top pitchers don't get traded for good glove men.
  8. a700hitter
    He had better keep tearing the cover off the ball if he is going to be a big part of any package to bring back a starting pitcher.
  9. a700hitter
    Let's not embarrass ourselves.
  10. a700hitter
    But what about that huge revenue stream from selling stuffed Panda's?

    It would be nice to get a big college arm that has already hit puberty and is close to the major leagues. I have nothing against having guys like this in the pipeline. They should get as many as they can, but there is so much development left for a kid like that that we might never see him.
  12. a700hitter
    Yes, I agree about third base being the no-brainer. It is starting to look like there is an IQ deficiency in the FO. I see your point about sacrificing practice time in LF, but we do owe these other guys playing time. We need to see what we really have in Bradley. Has he turned the corner. We have 72 million reasons to get Castillo on his feet and performing well. Betts needs to play too. Hanley is handsomely paid. He should be taking extra fielding practice. Has anyone read about that? He doesn't need game conditions to practice. What about winter ball if he needs game conditions to improve. This learning process on the big stage has been a huge failure.
  13. a700hitter
    No, the Hanley in LF experimaent has to end. It is untenable. An everyday player has to at least be proficient at making the routine plays. He is not.
  14. a700hitter
    He's a long way away. When he gets an invite to big league camp I will get excited. If everything goes right for him, he could make it to Fenway during Hillary's second term.
  15. a700hitter
    He can do tremendous damage in the OF. Every misplay results in extra bases. He has no aptitide for the OF at all. He was an IFer, and although not a GGer, he wasn't the worst position fielder in baseball. Also, jis IF errors would be singles. Is there anything to lose by giving him a trail look-see in the last 6 weeks of 2015?
  16. a700hitter
    I am sorry to be insulting our GM like this, but this guy is senseless.
  17. a700hitter
    This is beyond stupid. It is obstinant defiance of the obvious.
  18. a700hitter
    if Ortiz wasn't 40 years old, they would be much better with him at first base and Hanley DHing. They can't do that because Ortiz is still the heart of the offense and he would break down rather quickly playing the field every day. Ortiz is like Keith Hernandez at first base compared to Hanley in LF. If the Padres would do an even swap of Shields for Panda, the Red Sox should jump at that. It would solve the Hanley OF problem by putting him at third base. It would also begin the process of improving the pitching. Since we would be swapping salaries, we would still have funds to bring two more top arms on board. It would have the added benefit of saving the team from more embarrassment as Panda is likely one day to hit the field covered in powdered sugar like a big donut.
  19. a700hitter
    It would have been a much different outing for Barnes if Hanley caught that very catchable ball with the bases loaded. The guy is not salvageable out there. They need to decide what to do with him, but he can't stay in Left Field. He is the second worse outfielder that I have seen on recent years. The worst was Daniel Murphy of the Mets. They tried getting his bat in the lineup in 2009 by putting him in LF. At least the Mets had enough sense to end their failed experiment a month or two into the season. Our guys are intent on making this work.
  20. a700hitter
    A power arm would be nice.
  21. a700hitter
    Shaw continues to do well.
  22. a700hitter
    For 3 innings and then the wheels came off.
  23. a700hitter
    Lol! They will just use it to pick Trey Ball's kid brother.
  24. a700hitter
    This team continued to embarrass itself.
  25. a700hitter
    Hanley costing us a couple of more runs.
