    If that were to happen, that shouldn't get factored in at all. You wouldn't know if he would have been a star or a bust. Other than an act of god or unforeseen injury, they should get graded on the players that make it to the bigs and those who wash out.

    Mookie is a much better defender than Ellsbury? I don't see that, and I doubt the metrics would back that up. If you wanted to say that about Bradley, I could see that.

    He wasn't well-liked-- he had an arrogant way. That might be the reason ro it could be lots of other reasons. GMs tend to move around the league, but if you manage to get fired, getting rehired is not that easy. I wouldn't give the rumor/innuendo any credibility, becasue of how long it took him to get back. He might have been offered positions at franchises that didn't interest him etc. After working for the Red Sox, most other jobs are a big step down.

    LOL! Are you really paranoid if they are out to get you? I never believe any of that rumor or innuendo which always coincidently shows up in the press after the Red Sox part ways with someone.

    Imo, he has to take the risk if he wants any chance of keeping his high paid cushy job. I we stay where we are, maybe he can get Dan Duquette's job that he had during his exile. If you remember Duquette had to buy his own ticket to watch the 2004 Red Sox win the World Series. He was in exile for about 10 years and he never finished last, never mind 3 times.

    Miley and Buch haven't been that bad.... Buch is in control for two more years on the cheap.......... can he continue is the question.... I thought this was a contract year for Buch.

    The trade deadline will be too late. If they wait until then, they will be sellers.

    I still care. It's baseball and the Red Sox. We still care. Does the FO care enough to get this season back on track? If so, you need to make some moves! Ben, try to save your job. It is really easy to replace a FO suit, and when you are gone, you will have trouble getting yourself arrested-- no more free travel, free meals etc. and no one will come if you call a press conference. Do something Ben.

    We are wasting time thinking he can be a useful starter. The organization needs to move on from its mistakes.

    Nice win today. Our offense did a good job beating one of the top 2 or 3 pitchers in the league. I am not convinced that Masterson can be consistently good. Tampa's offense is a bunch of pea shooters, no punch at all.

    I keep reading about our bright future, and I am enjoying watching Betts and XB and Swihart. They look like solid major league players. On the pitching side of the ledger, ER is exciting and I am interested in seeing Johnson, but other than them and Owens, I don't think we have a lot of good young arms coming down the pike. We seem to suck at drafting and developing pitchers.

    5 runs against Archer is a very good job by the offense. Their D didn't give away anything.
  13. a700hitter
    Good hitting by Panda. Nice base running by Ortiz.
  14. a700hitter
    Archer is in a tough spot with Panda at the plate and 1st and 3rd with 1 out. We could break it open here.
  15. a700hitter
    Yep, Archer is carving up the rest of them pretty good. He has 9 k's now.
  16. a700hitter
    I think the hitters deserve the credit. Archer has 8 k's in the 5 th inning. It's hard to say that he doesn't have it today.
  17. a700hitter
    Ortiz takes Archer deep! He will hit close to 30 bombs. He is not the problem.
  18. a700hitter
    Three home runs and 4 runs of Archer. The offense did its job. It is up to our pitching now. I noticed that Masterson hit 91 last inning.
  19. a700hitter
    d'Aza with a home run. Two home runs against Archer. That is rare. If you get a couple of 3 runs against this guy, that is about as good as you will do. Your pitching has to be good to beat the Rays when Archer pitches.
  20. a700hitter
    Napoli gets himself thrown out of the game - probably doesn't want to face Archer anymore.
  21. a700hitter
    Panda with the opposite field home run down the line inside the pole. That was a good tailing pitch by Archer that didn't look like it was hit very hard.
  22. a700hitter
    I didn't notice anything hitting 90.
  23. a700hitter
    Okay, before the first inning starts, all I need to see is whether Masterson can hit 90 on the gun. If he cant, this is just a waste of time and Masterson is toast. Just cut him and move on.
  24. a700hitter
    Lol the Rays pitcher that shut us down yesterday was sent to the minors to make room for Grady Sizemore.
  25. a700hitter
    The was a day recently where 6 pitchers were credited with Quality Starts, but also lost the game.
